Not while citizens united is still valid

NC is a blue state that’s suppressed clearly. Hate that for SC smh

Wow: In the early vote, it's a blow-out *so far*. Rodney Sadler, the progessive pastor and activist, leads state Representative Carla Cunningham 75% to 18%. (Stay tuned as we see how the Election Day vote compares, but that's an ominous start for the incumbent.) Context:

Due to their hatred of democracy, Republican voter suppression is happening in Dallas County, Texas. 33% of voters are being turned away due to confusion about where to vote. The confusion was done intentionally by Republicans. A judge has ordered polling places are to now stay open until 9pm. 1/2

Lebron putting on a Q&A for Marty Supreme but not Sinners is veryyyyyy…….interesting

Say all this to say no bodily autonomy doesn’t include vaccine denial, don’t be silly.

Y’all don’t have that power, you’re not important enough to erase an entire community history because you’re not creative enough in your derisive shorthands.

This is why I’m very adamant about refusing to accept the slippage in terms like “identity politics” and “woke” I simply cannot accept the idea that decades of theory and work can simply be rewritten by dipshits on the internet bowing to peer pressure.

also how “believe women” became “believe (all) women” and “Black Lives Matter” became “only Black Lives Matter” in the minds of people inclined to disagree with the general sentiments in the first place. This rhetorical tic really hinges on the idea every statement or belief is an iron axiom.

Part of this is people looking to avoid any responsibility for their choices. It’s how believing in free speech became supporting hate speech, no one wanted to be responsible for drawing a line and defending their choices.

I’m not sure if it’s uniquely American but the idea you have to shut down any discernment or nuance when you think about principles is the opposite of thinking.

NEWS: Americans were told to evacuate the Middle East — but the State Dept is not helping them do it. We called the State hotline. First thing you hear is an automated message: "Do not rely on the U.S. government for assisted departure or evacuation."

“If you believe in bodily autonomy you have to accept vaccine deniers.” No, I don’t.

i just checked my voter registration and there's no match. i've been voting since 2000. here we go. georgia, check your voter status. #gapol

This is why red states have higher voter apathy. Always shenanigans. I feel bad for these folks just trying to exercise their constitutional right to vote and having to deal with this mess. Info in 🧵

but we’ve been at war for 47 years

Trump admits there were no evacuation plans for Americans abroad due to his war with Iran "because it all happened very quickly."

Footage showed babies being evacuated from a hospital in Bushehr, Iran after the facility was damaged amid US-Israeli strikes. Staff and Iranian Red Crescent workers could be seen wheeling the infants needing specialised care from the neonatal unit to waiting ambulances.

Raju: You said we knew there was going to be an Israeli action that would precipitate an attack on US forces. Rubio: You guys can misrepresent it…

I’m smarter than everybody in the Trump administration and that’s…..not….ideal

I—

No way

REPORTER: Yesterday you told us Israel was going to strike Iran and that's why we needed to get involved. But today the president said Iran-- RUBIO: No. Were you there yesterday? REPORTER: Yes. I asked the question

Why wasn’t this considered before a bomb was dropped?

And the males over JFK jr. and all the Black folks are bursting their bubble because they got those trends from the Black men and women of the 90s

Jesus Christ

⚠️ IAEA Director General: No evidence that Iran is making a nuclear bomb (IAEA = International Atomic Energy Agency)

Iran blocked the Strait of Hormuz so now gas prices going crazy

SCHIFF: Don't you think in aftermath of a shooting you should provide only vetted information? How will you gain the trust of people if you're pushing out false info about the shootings of American citizens? NOEM: I work every day to get out factual information SCHIFF: Well, you didn't that day

wow -- Tillis goes ballistic on Noem, telling her "what we've seen is a disaster under your leadership"

SCHIFF: Are you saying it's just fortuitous that $143m went to a subcontractor that you worked w/ extensively as gov of SD? KRISTI NOEM: I had no choosing of contractors. S: Can you state for record that you or Lewandowski had no communication with any agency involved? N: To best of my knowledge

WELCH: Mr. Yoho is also the husband of your former spokesperson, Tricia McLaughlin? NOEM: Yes WELCH: So your former assistant and her husband are the ones that got the DHS no bid contract for $143m. Any dispute about that? NOEM: No.

SHAHEEN: You wrote an article titled, 'Why not to attack Iran.' Do you agree with Trump leaving door open for boots on the ground? COLBY: The president has reserved the right -- SHAHEEN: I want to know what you think COLBY: Well, I'm a lieutenant of the president so I'm keyed on his intent

I—

Q: The president has not ruled out boots on the ground. Six American service members have already been killed. Where is Congress? THUNE: Congress obviously has the power of the purse. The president has broad authorities under Article 2 when it comes to defending America's national security interest

I—

New reports indicate Trump is considering arming Iranian militia using taxpayer dollars, further tying U.S. spending to Iran's future.

They can’t fuckin resist

some friendly advice: if you’re not Black and you see two Black people talking to each other on here, consider the possibility that the dialect is more unfamiliar to you than you think it is and the unspoken communication that is obvious to them may not be obvious to you

Tillis: You decided to kill that dog because you had not invested the appropriate time in training it, and then you have the audacity to say it’s a leadership lesson. You killed a goat and said it was behaving badly. You’re a farmer — you don’t castrate a goat, they behave badly.

Technology used to improve our lives. That was always understood to be the point of it. But something changed 15-20 years ago. Now, most new consumer technology is just a lopsided Faustian bargain where we trade our privacy, agency, and free time for monthly fees, loneliness, and screen addiction.

Then why do it….

So not a regime change?
