We need to face facts: society has always had haves and have nots. It applies not just to wealth and opportunity, but critical thinking and inclinations toward civility and decency, too. The whole goal of “progressive government” was to aspire to level the playing field for everyone. We’ve now raised 2.5 generations who feel entitled to that outcome, but the far-right has proven how easily that aspiration can be gutted, leaving only grievance for being denied, and a precise recipe for fascism.

Some of us got lazy and forgot it is necessary to actively protect democracy and the progressive moves in society.

Via Lisa Rubin:

What is supposed to be a holding room for a former president’s security has, at their own admission, become a de facto campaign HQ . . . in a government building.

Olivia Nuzzi:

The campaign has moved its operational headquarters from West Palm Beach to a holding room inside Manhattan criminal court.

That would be simple. Hold them by locking the door to the holding room...while they are inside.

Throw away the key.

Summer is almost upon us, and Canada is already on fire, so I guess it's time to share this again: my guide to the dangers of smoke, why you really don't want to breathe it, and how to get your air purifier situation set up before the smoke comes.

🤔 🤔 Excuses Trump will have for avoiding the debate with Biden....

Any ideas??
Feel free to add your thoughts, please...

  1. Gag order

  2. I need a nap

  3. Media is unfair

  4. Biden won't allow my friend and supporter Mike Johnson and his friends set up a cheering section in the front row

  5. Biden won't let me use cue cards

It doesn’t matter how bad a person you are (or how many bad people you enable). You’ll always be accepted by the cable news industry if they can monetize you properly.

Am I misunderstanding something? Since when are non-citizens allowed to vote in US elections? Is this theatrics?

H.R. 192: To prohibit individuals who are not citizens of the United States from voting in elections in the District of Columbia.

Greg Sargent 🧵 1/…

Media coverage of Republicans stampeding to NYC to attack Trump's trial as illegit is marred by euphemism. This isn't just "currying favor" w Trump or "expressing loyalty" or auditioning to be his VP. It's placing Trump over rule of law

Rs are attacking judge, witnesses, prosecutors & trial as illegitimate. This isn't just helping Trump evade the gag order. The point is also to display in spectacle form that their fealty is to him over the rules that make the system function

Damn. Award-winning actor Dabney Coleman -- who starred in hit movies such as Melvin and Howard, 9 to 5, On Golden Pond, and Tootsie -- has reportedly passed away at the age of 92.

He won an Emmy in 1987 for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Miniseries or a Special for his role Sworn to Silence, but was nominated six times. He also won a Golden Globe Award. https://local12.com/news/entertainment/report-actor-dabney-coleman-passes-away-dead-death-age-92-melvin-howard-on-golden-pond-tootsie-movies-film-television-emmy-award

As a result of the zoning order, Toronto city council will no longer be able to weigh in on technical elements of the project as it does on other buildings that go through the local planning process.

😲 🤦 Canadian Renters Now Required To Collect Foreign Landlord’s Taxes, Withhold Rent

" In a bizarre decision, the nation’s tax authority is telling tenants who pay rent to non-resident landlords to withhold a portion and remit it on their behalf, or they may be liable for the amount with penalties. To complicate things further, one Ontario policymaker warns tenants that have inquired about withholding have been threatened with eviction. "

@GottaLaff
This morning I posted the article on the lower link (betterdwellling...)
Originally, here was an issue with the CRA demanding payment from tenants for unpaid landlords' taxes....complicated problem. See the lower link on the post if you need clarification.

Later today the CRA changed that rule so I edited my post to reflect it.

In other words...ignore the post. 🤦 Sorry.🤷‍♀️
