The Trump appointee overseeing an “unprecedented judicial investigation” into forum-shopping allegations—levied against some of the nation’s top LGBTQ civil rights lawyers—has threatened to jail some of the lawyers involved.

Though not serving as Trump’s attorney when he appeared as a witness today in Trump’s trial for criminally falsifying business records, Robert Costello is a lawyer, bound by New York’s Rules of Professional Conduct. Costello repeatedly showed his ethical unfitness, violating the most basic principles that inform the entire code. I’ve screenshot the very first paragraph of the entire code, highlighting the most pertinent phrases. 1/

The low-information-voters who have forgotten how shitty Trump was probably never had to sit through the DC kneeler (journalism) corp asking "is THIS the moment Trump becomes president" for 4 fucking years.

"Guys, don't stand! F*cking push forward! What mines are there? There's a road, they should move!"

Soviet methods in the Russian army, but instead of infantry, tanks are used for demining: part of the column of Russian armored vehicles enters the minefield.

The conversations between drone operators, staff commanders, and tank crews are a special treat for the ears.

The footage was taken in the village of Spirne, Donetsk region

The Russian occupiers lost five tanks.

He can't figure it out because he refuses to acknowledge how much the oligarch who owns WaPo wants to put his thumb on the public's sentiment in an election year.

@nf3xn yeah I'd argue right now it's the clearest it's been since Calvin stopped running why we have armies.

To stop madmen like Putin, Kim, Bibi, probably xi, and trump from murdering whole nations.

Obviously having armies comes with risks. Much of the Democratic world was unilaterally disarming, though, too soon, and now we're paying the price.

remember when trump said if we just stop testing for covid it would go away as if by a miracle and everyone thought that was a scandalously stupid thing to say

on an entirely unrelated note since 3 weeks ago the CDC no longer requires hospitals to report covid hospitalizations and now biobot is no longer showing covid wastewater data for the US

@JTO_is_Typing Unfortunately, biobot had like 3 sample sites in my county and the replacements have 0.

The nearest sample sites are 110 miles away. Totally useless for me.

Boeing shareholders approved a $33M pay package for CEO Dave Calhoun, despite overseeing huge losses and safety problems.

It's the biggest package ever given to a Boeing CEO.

Calhoun is resigning by year's end. Guess what he gets then?

A $45 million golden parachute.

Unreal.

Weird that we can't explain a few kubic meters heavy radioactive waste from the NL each year but somehow we can justify pumping our Atmosphere full with toxics each day with our burning engines

"Oehhh all things radioactive are soo scary, we can't setup our grandkids with that" is what they say

But apparently they are totally fine with ruining the climate and expel toxic next where you breath

Until we have something better like fusion we should stick with fission also, but what do I know!🤷

@stux a nuke takes 30 years and hundreds of billions of dollars to build. You get much more energy much sooner with solar wind and storage, with fewer risks and many more people able to make money. Nukes simply don't have any utility anymore

Want workers to have power? You need to vote Biden over Trump.

This is not a vacuum. A protest vote will do massive harm. It's not a marriage. Get on the bus that takes you closest to where you wanna go.

Worth emphasizing this, because most news outlets did not:

“Rep. Matt (R-Fla.) on Thursday ominously invoked Donald ’s call to far-right violent extremists while joining the former president at his criminal trial in New York.

“Standing back and standing by, Mr. President,” Gaetz wrote on social media, along with a photo of himself positioned behind Trump at his trial.”

NEVER AGAIN should Donald Trump be trusted with national security clearance.

NEVER AGAIN should Trump be in command of our Armed Forces.

NEVER AGAIN should anyone who serves our country in uniform have to salute a walking, talking NATIONAL SECURITY THREAT!

I am a Veteran and I approve this message. Please, maximum boost. 🫡



Military and Veterans tell the story of criminal Donald Trump, he is a traitor and national security threat.

It feels so meaningful to me when I see some dangerous debris on the bike path, and I slow down & stop, and take the time to move it off the path, so future cyclists don't need to worry about it.

I think about how important and undervalued maintenance is in the dominant culture. Building new things gets all of the glory, when it's the maintainers and acts of service that are what truly, imo, make this world work.
