A story about KY GOP Senate nominee Andy Barr: In 2019 he got mad at AOC and demanded she come to his district to visit a coal mine. She said yes, which he didn't expect, so he withdrew the invitation. Then it turned out there were no working coal mines in his district. Because he's an idiot. 1/3

Awesome. Let's hope Massie burns the fucking House down on his way out. Between that and Israel FINALLY being relegated to the ranks of Hitler's Germany in terms of genocide, I'm actually optimistic.

Wow, Kentucky Republicans fought hard to keep Thomas Massie from holding their leader accountable for pedophilia, gross hill to die on 🥴

Welp. I guess I better have a slice of humble pie and a room temperature glass of raw milk- Massie lost.

Alice Coachman became the first Black woman from any country to win Olympic gold in 1948 after growing up training barefoot because Black athletes were denied access to many facilities. She was also the only American woman to win gold that year. She soared past every barrier. #SheShed

June 1, 1933: The "Fund of German Trade and Industry" is created, a huge slush fund administered by Martin Bormann in the Führer's name. The regime used the funds to compensate SA Stormtroopers who committed street violence, subsize the SS, and enrich Nazi party officials.

Unions are Far from Obsolete…. If unions are obsolete, why do corporations spend $400 million a year on union-busting consultants to kill them?

Kentucky primary election is today. It’s our chance to begin unfucking our state and city government. Vote Charles Booker & Shameka Parish Wright if they’re on your ballot.

Happy election day to everyone living in Alabama, Georgia, Idaho, Kentucky, Oregon, and Pennsylvania. Your vote will count much more today than it will count on most other days, so go freaking vote if you live in one of these states.

On behalf of my own TEN YEARS of research into religion and AI, and specifically a whole bunch of research into emergent religious forms from AI and people's interpretations of them, and a whole GD field of digital religion that dates back further than that, I wanna say...

We're building the Brent Spence Bridge Corridor without tolls! And we aren't just talking about it – we're getting the job done. A safer bridge, shorter commutes and a boost to national commerce. This is a win-win for Kentucky, Ohio and our country.

Across the 30 states on the federal exchange (most of which are GOP-controlled), a whopping 21% of those who signed up during Open Enrollment had already lost coverage as of April. Across the remaining 21 states w/their own ACA exchanges (most of which are Dem-controlled), the drop-off was 8.4%.

Yikes

Today marks 144 years since the Chinese Exclusion Act enshrined discrimination into the law, denying Chinese immigrants the right to become citizens. My own grandfather was considered a 2nd class citizen because of this xenophobic legislation.
