PIERS: “You’re not gay?”
FUENTES: “No. But women are very difficult to be around.”
P: “Should they vote?”
F: “No.”
PIERS: “They should stay home?”
FUENTES: “Yeah.”
PIERS: “So you’re just a misogynistic dinosaur. Have you ever had sex?”
FUENTES: “No.”
PIERS: “Wow. Says the guy who never got laid.”

Rand Paul: "This is an insane policy. It's inconsistent. It's not war. It's not the way we've ever done this. If we can blow up a boat in the ocean, what about when they get to Miami & put it in a truck? Can you shoot a grenade launcher at the truck? No! We arrest people b/c sometimes we're wrong."

Disabled voters are challenging South Carolina's draconian ballot laws In a state at war with the Voting Rights Act, helping more than five people vote by mail makes you a felon.

In South Carolina, helping more than five people vote by mail makes you a felon. Three voters, all currently living in nursing homes, are challenging the law.

Sadly not a a surviving cat...

D'oh

Yes

I remember finally understanding cultural appropriation when someone put it in terms of refilling as hip fashion accessory.

And I now viscerally understand microaggressions as exhausting in a way I had not.

As well as why filling a feed with horrible incidents is less nice than folk may think.

Here's the other

When I looked through the comments on Ginger's insta and on Dear White Staffers insta I saw no indication of any respondents knowing or caring what blood libel is.

I was actually on site at the time, but did not go over and look, assuming it was a group photo from the earlier lobbying.

The amount of glee and approval makes me reluctant to interact with large portions of the people again.

Wait, I dropped a link in Discord earlier today. That one shows the "menu."

Times of Israel has an article this morning that was worse than I had heard yesterday but nowhere near as bad as seeing video: www.timesofisrael.com/liveblog_ent...

I keep forgetting you're no longer on facebook.

Let me know whether this clearly shows the "menu" - I haven't watched this specific video.

379k followers and when I looked earlier I saw *no* comments noting blood libel.

It's pretty scary, honestly, to watch how much a flat out blood libel performance art was cheered and by whom.

I find myself wondering just how few people know what blood libel is.

If you always simply assume that this Administration is going to choose whatever is least good for the public, you'll probably be right.

The House is voting today on two bills that will put hard-fought reforms to DC’s justice system in the crosshairs.

But what happens in DC doesn’t stay here. When it’s DC today, it’s always America tomorrow. We can stop it right here, right now. #FreeDC

Trump administration announces dismantling of parts of Education Dept. President Donald Trump signed an executive order in March seeking to close the department, but only Congress has the power to do that.

Folks have got to make some noise. Congress has the constitutional right to make or unmake agencies, not the executive branch.

And yet they're already talking about just exactly how they are dismantling the department of education.

I do not disagree with you about capitalism without guardrails and especially publicly traded corporations being legally bound to maximize shareholder value.

But hell, it's only a couple days ago Trump Administration undid the rule on airlines compensating passenger.

Alright I do owe you an apology. I have been extremely under slept and thought you said that research (not experience) indicated ranked choice voting worked well until politicians discovered loopholes and I was asking for the references.

Please elaborate on your experience.

...so you thought it 'safe' to not vote or vote third party, and to encourage your friends to do the same?

Yes that is what I am requesting from you.

Cite?

Boost the signal! And you can still add to the auction til tomorrow (Wed) afternoon.

How are you enjoying the Trump Administration compared to your worries about the Harris administration?

notably, Fox News is not broadcasting the Khanna/Massie/Greene Epstein news conference live. CNN and MS are.

And yet until we have some sort of ranked choice voting, we have a first past the post system and doing anything other than voting for what you consider the lesser of two evils gets you the greater of two evils.

Time and time again.

"Charlotte's Web" is a story about a tiny and nearly invisible creature using the only skills she has to protect a friend and neighbor who's about to be butchered to make the farmer some money, and he returns the favor by caring for her children. Just in case you needed the reminder.

Tell Congress to stop using DC as their Playtoy.

My right side is absolutely killing me

You need an appendectomy

How much is that

Umm … $47,285

How much without the anesthesia

Ok we can do that for $36,210

I don’t think so

What’s it going to take to get you into this OR today

I’m going to shop around

Hold on, my manager is coming over

The hysteria over Biden's pardons seems extra ridiculous now Trump's abuse of the pardon power makes everything else look like child's play.

Among the news deluge this week were a handful of developments that help us to understand the chaos to come next year. Let’s start with Monday’s pardons.

I didn't actually realize the law made of distinction as opposed to there being definitional distinctions in DSM / psych research...

Technical definitions based on whether someone is attracted to prepubescent or mid-pubescent underage children are a weird thing to fall back on as an attempted defense.
