A bloodbath greater than all but the Great Depression on the horizon. It makes the crisis in farming that led to Farm Aid look like a correction.

Speaking of "merit," time for a pop quiz! Who had the most experience arguing federal court appeals before becoming a federal appellate judge: Jackson, Kavanaugh, or Barrett? (Answers: Jackson 12, Kavanaugh 4, Barrett 0.)

Not only does the Roberts Court selectively apply the Constitution, even when they determine something is unconstitutional, they selectively decide when that matters

We're now at the sharp end of the long game that's been in place since 1973. Racists upset by civil rights have been plotting these moves in full view of everyone. Now the US suffers for their indulgence.

Americans are taught Kent State was a brutal aberration- scared untrained guardsmen who went too far and were checked by public outrage. But Kent State was one of many massacres of antiwar student protestors in May 1970 - UNM, Jackson State, the (non-military) Hard Hat Riot - all met with impunity.

"Ok, what should we do next?" "ohhh! How about we all take a selfie with the crescent Earth in the background!" "yaaaaasssssss" #ArtemisII

I’m sorry, but everyone now knows exactly what Reform stands for, so if you vote for them, you’re a nasty racist with no respect for other humans. No ‘I didn’t know’ or ‘the other parties have let me down’ excuses now. Shame on them and shame on you.

Saw the front of the Telegraph in a shop a moment ago. It’s taking a report that 600k households are so poorly paid that welfare payments exceed wages and arguing that the problem with this is the welfare bit.

fighting drought by harvesting energy. you love to see it

“if we make it easy for everyone vote, we republicans will never stay in office”

We've always been at war* with Eurasia. *in 60 day chunks

Praying for Rudy Giuliani. Complicated man, but he taught me that marriage and family don't mean anything. You can just do whatever you want. Humiliate and lie to everyone you're supposed to love whenever you want, or are bored. Honestly fuck them. Also he taught me everything else is like that too.

If you think the fascists are going to go quietly, think again. Already gerrymandering on a racial basis on the back of the Conservative Supreme Court's decision (Louisiana v Callais), they will work to further disenfranchise left-leaning voters.

Actually you know what, let me just

The current climate in America: if you call out an actual injustice, you will be accused of harming the assailant.

The fact that most of us can't name a policy advanced by the Right that has improved a majority of people's lives to me is telling. It suggests that when you hear some people say that a "strong" GOP is needed, that they are full of shit or complicit in making people's lives more awful.

ever

Listening to 'The Hustle' the other day and once again, absolutely marvelling at the drum fills before each of the choruses, all different, all 'in the pocket', slingshotting you into "Do The Hustle!" I looked up who the drummer was: Steve Gadd! One of the greatest session drummers of all time.

I listened to Kelly's conversation with Rebecca Solnit and I recommend it. I was particularly struck with what Solnit says here: truthout.org/audio/hope-i...

Well, the banks are very responsible and good at managing risk. I'm not worried. By the way I've been in a coma since 2007

Having a morning listening to Lauro Nyro. TIL: ➡️ she chose her surname as a kid ➡️ she pronounced it NEER-oh ➡️ her version of Goffin & King's 'Up On The Roof' was the version that The Nylons covered (the 1st version I heard) ➡️ she used to busk on street corners with others because she loved harmony

Jimmy Breslin said Rudy Giuliani was “a small man in search of a balcony.” It doesn’t get any better than that.

On behalf of Shaye and Ruby and the countless others that bastard has maligned, I approve this message

I write about people who became famous for saying and doing horrible things so I routinely get asked this question. "Did they really believe it?" Look, I get the curiosity, but in the grand scheme of things it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter what's in their hearts. They put evil into the world.

Do you know what it does to a person, to either deny who you are or lose your job? To choose between paying your bills and helping a queer kid who is scared and confused and possibly suicidal? I am constantly choosing between doing the right thing and doing the thing that will let me survive.

If you link to a site where I can't reject all cookies with a minimum of 3 clicks I'm not engaging, sorry not sorry (And then I repost those and paywall crap without reading)

Your tax dollars should support the disabled, elderly & poor. They should pay for healthcare, food assistance, housing and childcare. Spending money on robust social supports and bettering the lives of the majority is far better than war, destruction & enriching billionaires

With Rudy Giuliani in critical condition in the hospital at age 81, despite my differences with him, in the spirit of the common humanity of all people, it is my sincere wish that Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss had a pleasant Sunday with their families.

HELL FUCKING YEAH CALVIN Calvin Duncan cleared to take office after federal judge grants TRO www.wwltv.com/article/news... www.wwltv.com/article/news...

@schiff.senate.gov, please directly address the reports that LLMs have encouraged kids to kill themselves and shoot up their schools AND that "A.i." decreases cognitive abilities AND the companies are run by right wing billionaires AND the environmental and economic damage the industry causes.

What's a policy advanced by the Right in the US that has improved life for the majority of people?

Lots of stuff. Strolled about Folkestone yesterday - very sunny and fun - then visited the Battle of Britain memorial - contemplative and moving. The site overlooks the Channel and we could easily see Cap Gris-Nez over in France. Dined out: Sri Lankan. Trimmed the front hedge, which I hate.

Everybody, including the viewers at home, applauding the referee at the Crucible sending the mobile phone arsehole out of the theatre #snooker

The dumbest, worst, most annoying person has already done the thing you want to do and someone probably loved it. So you might as well just make the thing

We said they would go after Roe & they did. We said they would arrest women for pregnancy loss & they have. We said women would be refused medical care and die. They have. We said they would come for the abortion pill. They just did. Birth control is next. They want our bodily autonomy.

Jacksonville is talking about moving back to at-large elections. It is starting.

In 1979, Mattel sold toy Battlestar Galactica fighter ships that fired a tiny spring-loaded "torpedo." One 4-year old choked on it, and the entire line of torpedo toys was recalled and never sold again.

I still cant get over this. How you steal somebody's life... (he was 28 years incarcerated for a crime he DID NOT commit) He gets out, gets a law degree. Runs for office.... WINS... and then they steal the job

Zionists think Americans have been turned against Israel by I dunno Electronic Intifada memes when it's simply being increasingly exposed to what Israelis do and say
