IN LATE JUNE 2019, right after the U.S. Supreme Court released its final opinion of the term, Justice Clarence Thomas boarded a large private jet headed to Indonesia. He and his wife were going on vacation: nine days of island-hopping in a volcanic archipelago on a superyacht staffed by a coterie of attendants and a private chef.
If Thomas had chartered the plane and the 162-foot yacht himself, the total cost of the trip could have exceeded $500,000. Fortunately for him, that wasn’t necessary: He was on vacation with real estate magnate and Republican megadonor Harlan Crow, who owned the jet — and the yacht, too.

For more than two decades, Thomas has accepted luxury trips virtually every year from the Dallas businessman without disclosing them, documents and interviews show. A public servant who has a salary of $285,000, he has vacationed on Crow’s superyacht around the globe. He flies on Crow’s Bombardier Global 5000 jet. He has gone with Crow to the Bohemian Grove, the exclusive California all-male retreat, and to Crow’s sprawling ranch in East Texas. And Thomas typically spends about a week every summer at Crow’s private resort in the Adirondacks.
The extent and frequency of Crow’s apparent gifts to Thomas have no known precedent in the modern history of the U.S. Supreme Court.
Clarence Thomas and the Billionaire

A question for those with some medical knowledge. My grandson was involved
in an accident a few days ago and broke his pelvis. He is scheduled for surgery on Tuesday, which is nearly a week after the accident. Is it customary to wait this long? Also, what can be done to repair a broken pelvis?
He also suffered a skull fracture, but it is apparently not severe. He is in his mid 30s with no underlying health issues.
The accident happened in Zurich, Switzerland. My daughter has flown over to be with him, but has not had all her questions answered clearly due to the language barrier.

Ah, the good old days. I was watching an old rerun of Rockford Files tonight.
Jim pulls into a gas station and tells the attendant "Three dollars, please".

Twas the night before Justice
And all through the house
An orange creature was truthing
Big Macs crammed in his mouth
Secret Documents were burning in the fireplace with care
Don Jr. in the pool house cosplaying, Cocaine Bear.

What Will Happen To Everyone Who is Not White, Straight, & Male If We Don't Speak Out?

Today’s Republican Party, intentionally or unwittingly, is following a script.
Pastor Martin Niemöller’s famous poem begins with, “First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out because I was not a socialist.” But, in fact, first they came for the queer people.
A year before Nazis began attacking union leaders and socialists, a full five years before attacking Jewish-owned stores on Kristallnacht, the Nazis came for the trans people at the Institute for Sexual Research in Berlin.
In 1930, the Institute had pioneered the first gender-affirming surgery in modern Europe. It’s director, Magnus Hirschfeld, had compiled the largest library of books and scientific papers on the LGBTQ spectrum in the world and was internationally recognized in the field of sexual and gender studies.
