Crap Chunks Keep Falling On Our Heads

... NOT by Hal David and Burt Bacharach, believe me. The shit is being slung so fast I can barely read about it and can't even begin to write it up. So I'll just list it, so you can choose for yourself which stench you can tolerate today:

• The Battle Over Abortion Access Is Nearing the Supreme Court (The question on which the appeal hinges is what, exactly, constitutes an "undue burden" on a woman's constitutionally protected right to choose abortion. With this particular Court, I could see their using this appeal, itself essential to the women appealing, to overturn Roe altogether. Don't be shocked; you know it's coming...)
  
• This week in the war on workers: Bankruptcy judge calls for impoverishing retirees
  
• Daily Kos Elections Polling Wrap: How 'real' is all the Republican wave talk? — Part 1 (???), Part 2, Part 3 (NOTE: other links available from individual parts)
• No Charges For Georgia SWAT Who Flash-Banged A Babies [sic] Nose Off.
• Stolen backpack accusation sends high school student to jail for three years without a trial (Yes, in America.)
• Indiana state trooper pulls woman over and asks 'do you accept Jesus Christ as your savior?' (Decades ago, there was a professor at Rice University who used class time for this sort of conversion effort. That was bad, but I believe this was worse.)

And a couple of sweet-smelling treats for dessert:

• New Mexico Teacher Sends Backpacks Full of Food Home with His First-Grade Students on the Weekends
• The Elon Musk interview on Mars colonisation (long)
