Corporate #media works for the rich and powerful. Stop expecting them to care about the rest of us. They do not care. As long as you remember this, every story they write makes more sense.
An amazing theory of change I just received in my mentions:
"If Democrats, Liberals, Progressives, and Moderates all united and voted in EVERY election for Every Democrat against EVERY republicans, states like Texas would be Blue over night"
(I need to step away from the screen, apologies for annoying everyone!) #uspol
I noticed a landowner who had posted huge Trump display signs during the Indiana primary season had removed them after a NY Court found Trump guilty of 34 felonies.
The signs went back to advertising lots for sale.
Maybe having Trump plastered over your future homestead was appealing in the past, but not so much now.
In the last several election cycles, the signs were up from before the primary until after the general election.
“They’re going to let Mother Nature clean it up, and that’s a hell of a thing to say.”
From the archives, 2020: On the central #Texas coast, Lavaca Bay is already poisoned by mercury. Climate change will only make matters worse there—and at 944 other hazardous-waste sites across the country. https://www.texasobserver.org/superfund-texas/
'because #pregnancy is the result of "voluntary and consensual sexual intercourse," students should not be allowed time off to get abortions. If the students disobey and miss class for #abortion care, the filing continues, the professors should be allowed to flunk students. Additionally, Bonevac asserts that he has a right to refuse to employ a teaching assistant who has had an abortion, calling such women "criminals."'
Guess who said "A president under felony indictment would create a constitutional crisis"?? And that they should not be allowed to run for president because of it.
So my question to the person that said this is this, "what happens if that moron is actually convicted??" Should they allowed to be the nominee for their party?
Just a reminder that while one party spends on protecting voting rights the other marshals its legal assault to challenge election results - for an election that is months away - and disenfranchise voters.
Imperfect democracy vs authoritarianism is on the ballot this November. #VoteBlue if that matters to you.
Is it appropriate for lawyers to appear on national news talk shows and spread unfounded conspiracy theories that would cause massive distrust in our legal system? That seems like something you should be disbarred for doing, right? #uspol
“Unprecedented in the History of American Republicanism”: Trump Verdict & GOP Extremism
Trump can still be president as a convicted felon & is poised to become the Republican nominee in July.
"One of the most dangerous things about Trump is that he’s not a one-man show. He’s the presumptive nominee of a political party in a two-party system. That in itself poses an immense danger to American democracy.”
US congressional leaders on both sides have invited Netanyahu to address a joint meeting of Congress.
The letter inviting Netanyahu was signed by Republican House Speaker Mike Johnson, Democratic Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell and House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries.
UChicago students walked out of a graduation ceremony in protest...
after the university withheld diplomas from four graduating students who participated in a pro-Palestinian encampment.
“My diploma doesn’t matter when there are people in Palestine f in Gaza that will never walk a stage again, who will never receive a diploma. What about them? Who’s going to fight for them?” said one of the students affected.
“Trump’s entire persona is built around the facade that he is a powerful strongman, impervious to attacks and solely capable of defending his followers.
“Now he stands for election as a convict, a weak man too cowardly to take the stand who was bested by a local district attorney. The totalitarian edifice looks pockmarked.”
How America could vote for this weak, shouty, cry-baby is beyond me.
