This isn't "Good Stuff" in the sense that it's about something good. In fact it's about something awful! But it's important stuff, so it's good to know about it and to think about how to confront it.
That's why I'll post it here for now.
Remember that film Groundhog Day? In this 1993 film, actor Bill Murray finds himself trapped in a sequence of events that keeps happening over and over like a bad dream.

This is how I feel during these dark days at the end of January, 2022, watching TV coverage of the Supreme Court 5-4 vote to overturn Roe v Wade.
How long will this horrific battle go on?
It is like watching a bizarre volleyball game, with an important human right as the ball knocked back and forth by politicians playing to their bases, with judges as referees whose motives may be more guided by their personal biases than by the public good.

I may annotate the above links later. For now, just past midnight, I'm too exhausted to do more.
