@StillIRise1963 He is fat, dumb and happy since the democrats saved his job. Now he can continue to destroy democracy unabated. I wish Pro Publica or some other outlet would investigate Mr “I don’t have any bank accounts”.

What we don't want is for Johnson to have any power after the election. He is as corrupt as they come and will not abide by his oath AT ALL! We have to figure out a way to make Jeffries SOTH. A few insurrectionist indictments would be good.

So…there is a concerted campaign, with Musk as its mouthpiece, to discredit Signal and get people to switch to Telegram. It’s disinformation, but there’s also useful information in it. The useful information is that a hideous, powerful, right-wing crank — or whoever’s yanking his chain — really, really wants people to use Telegram.

We’ve long known Telegram’s security is weak. But now, in light of this new information, we should move forward assuming that Telegram is actively compromised.

@StillIRise1963 And after all that, she's afraid of joining the legal case because the stigma of getting a necessary abortion means she might never be employed again? Fucking hell.

What hell on earth for so many women and men our morally challenged supreme court hath wrought, when they cynically ruled our beloved Constitution and Bill of Rights does not give women the right to make their own health choices, and delegated that right to a bunch of ignorant grubby state politicians. How dare they⁉️

The PLOT of the CAPER necessitates that you turn on Biden. IT IS A FASCIST PLOT. IT IS A FASCIST CAPER.

@StillIRise1963 I do not know how many distinct plotlines are involved in trying to discredit Biden and/or to nibble away support.

Regardless, it is a frustrating moment.

@StillIRise1963 It’s also a convenient shelter to hide behind, an excuse to dismiss evolving thought that faces new realities, and the lazy man’s way of keeping himself as the center of the universe.

In the past 7 months, Israeli forces have carried out strikes on humanitarian aid workers in – not once, not twice, but at least 8 times.

The state in Brazil where I grew up is now under water. Everything I knew, the friends I had, the houses I lived, the animals I loved, the bridges I crossed, even the waterfall I used to hike by... all gone.

Everything you know, love, and work hard for can all crumble down in a matter of seconds.

It's been a tough week. 😔

A message from Canadians to US citizens:
Dear US,

As the smoke from our wildfires continue to pollute your air and many of you struggle to breathe please think about this:

If you chose to abstain from voting or do not vote Blue, your air quality will continue to worsen because Trump will increase the use of and development of fossil fuels which will increase our wildfires.

Thanks for listening.
Breathe easy today.

The Supreme Court Rules That Cops Can Steal Your Stuff—as They Always Have
By a 6-3 vote, the conservative justices decided that there is no need for the state to provide a preliminary hearing in civil forfeiture cases.😡

When cops decide to help themselves to your property, they can do it without a warrant, without securing a conviction, without even charging you with a crime. 😡

When the government doesn't obey the law,
Then there is no law.

The number of international students paying deposits to study at UK universities has “plummeted” after Rishi Sunak put restrictions on education visas.
Now Sunak is under pressure from ministers to abolish the graduate visa route entirely. Ludicrous short-sightedness, just to appease rightwing headbangers.

When my sister sold her home, she had her white realtor come to show the appraiser around. She LEFT HER OWN HOME during the process. Right now, my college friend is removing all signs of Blackness from her home before she puts it on the market. All art, photos, statues are being packed. All books are being turned spine in. THIS IS WHAT RACISM DOES.

@StillIRise1963 When we started looking to put our house on the market, I was very clear with the realtor that I knew ALL the data about optimizing offer price. We did an 85% move out before the house hit the market had the house staged and took a trip out of the country for 2 weeks. We only accepted offers while we were out of country. Once we accepted the offer, we made sure to never be visible outside the property.

@StillIRise1963 My very blue state neighbor just put her home up for sale. She was having her home staged and told me with a chuckle, "First, they have to unblack my house." Of course, it was no joke. And she was right - all her beautiful art and her treasured furniture is gone, and it is a cold, sterile look meant to appeal to a majority of buyers (white). I know neutral is good, but this was extreme. Sad.
