Voted in #SantaFe #NewMexico today, a place where the Democratic primary determines some of the ultimate races. One race really struck me as emblematic of the future, assuming constitutional democracy survives in the U.S. 1/

@heidilifeldman That would suit me just fine. I have ALWAYS voted Democrat, because the Republicans have been a danger to this country since Reagan. But I'm far to the left of my fellow-Democrats. I just won't vote for anyone else until a multiracial, multicultural democracy is the face of this country. Once the dreaded idiots of the GOP are gone, I welcome right-leaning, left-leaning, and centrist American voters to work out a better, more representative government.

There is a shallowness to this piece today in the New York Times on punishment for student protesters. There is no political analysis that puts the actions of universities in the context of the larger assaults on higher education & the pressures to crack down that come from outside, not within. https://www.nytimes.com/2024/06/04/us/politics/college-protests-charges-students.html

First 3 years of COVID-19 had 3M excess deaths in the West: study - National | Globalnews.ca https://globalnews.ca/news/10541434/excess-deaths-western-countries-covid-pandemic-study/ “ has remained high in the Western world for three consecutive years, despite the implementation of containment measures and vaccines,” the study authors in Netherlands concluded.

“ governments and policymakers “need to thoroughly investigate underlying causes of persistent excess mortality and evaluate their health crises policies.”

With a net worth in excess of $30 billion, Miriam Adelson is continuing her husband's tradition of being a kingmaker in Republican politics, and she recently signaled to Trump that the campaign cash spigot could be turned on IF he comes out in favor of allowing Israel to annex the Palestinian-controlled West Bank territory, and if his administration recognizes it as Israeli territory.

Trump would sell out the Palestinians.

@DemocracyMattersALot I'll bet money he's ALREADY signed an agreement to that effect, and it is in Miriam Adelson's LAWYERS' hands.

“According to the GSA’s rate chart, a House lawmaker who spends 100 percent of the year working in Washington, D.C.—with no breaks for holidays, the end of legislative session, or weekends—could conceivably collect a maximum reimbursement of $80,377 for the 2023–2024 fiscal year in just lodging. For that same period and parameters, they could conceivably collect $28,835 in food reimbursements.”

Genuinely quite surprised at the number of people coming out to say throwing a milkshake at Farage was 'assault' and must never happen to politicians. I absolutely agree politicians should not be subject to violence, but there is a long, proud history of throwing foodstuffs at people as a form of protest. Intended to humiliate and ridicule, not to injure. Pleased to see Mastodon mostly agrees.

@ProfLouiseL As you know, in THIS country (across the pond), there is a long, proud tradition of pieing politicians in the face. Please have a stern word with the ninnies who are considering abolishing this practice. Pie-throwing and milkshake-throwing are clearly naught but a people's longing to, as it were, get closer to their politicians. A milkshake's kiss is sweet indeed, and I'd like to see the person who refuses a taste of pie.

@noybeu Fellow desis, do you think this bugger needs a nice long holiday in India where he can be fattened up to LOOK like one of us? The bugger is absolutely skeletal. A summer or two of eating Bombay chaat and the endless parade of Gujarati and Bengali snacks should have him looking normal again.
