Jake Paul is 6'1.
Giving up two weekend days is a small price to pay in order to put the fear of primaries from the left into politicians.
I hope that Julie will win. She will be better than Hick, and I believe in her. But whatever happens in this election, she is forcing Hick to be slightly better.

Turning the world over to madmen. That is what is happening. Madmen.

Again, normal pro-democracy political parties do not make restricting suffrage, on the basis of complete lies about the totally nonexistent mass voter fraud, the central pillar in their policy platform.
Thanks to Donald Trump, American seniors will go hungry while the rich get tax breaks.
It’s clear where his priorities lie, and they aren’t with you.
To be clear: the SAVE Act does not simply require the identification voting ALREADY requires. It demands proof of CITIZENSHIP— a birth certificate with a name that matches yours now (bye, bye, married women), or a passport— both of which are expensive and take a long time to obtain.
“Mohammed, five, Othman, seven, who was blind and had special needs, their mother Waad Bani Odeh, 35, and father Ali Bani Odeh, 37, were driving through their hometown of Tamoun late on Saturday when Israeli forces opened fire.”
Shot in the head and face. Executed with their parents. No words.
also also...like, Islamophobia is a huge problem, and it's often instrumentalized through accusations of antisemitism. acknowledging when a Muslim speaks out against antisemitism is not just gratitude; it is a way to reject Islamophobia. 2
Back in the 1960s and 70s there was an entire speaking circuit in the US where hyper-local groups of fascists would invite fascist activists from around the globe to come speak. Advocates for apartheid in South Africa and Rhodesia made the rounds at local events like this. bsky.app/profile/seth...
I realize that she’s trying to be helpful but she’s reinforcing a stereotype that informs antisemitism and is also insufficient to explain genocide
The establishment is in full panic mode.
When they can’t debate ideas, they have to manufacture doubt.
McGowan: You're saying 46 Americans died, so we should attack this country. Here at home, 68,000 Americans die a year because they don't have health insurance. So, if we're going to spend billions of dollars on something…
Most California voters support the state’s newly proposed billionaire tax, according to new polling.
Meanwhile, rich Californians are plotting a $500M slush fund to influence the state's politics.
So they can't afford a wealth tax, but they'll spend a fortune buying elections?
See the problem...
Oh is the little Nazi suffering reputational damage?
It seems the velvet gloves are coming off, at least in some cases, when dealing with Russia’s shadow fleet in the Baltic Sea.
Here’s one of them 🇸🇪👊
It’s hardly surprising if people in Europe are pinching themselves and asking: whose side is the U.S. really on?
Russia is raking in oil money - while the Ukrainian state is balancing on the edge of bankruptcy.
I’m watching closely whether any candidates in Denmark’s parliamentary election will argue that Denmark should also take the velvet gloves off against Russia’s shadow fleet - as Sweden has done.

⚡️Russian strikes kill 7, injure 46 across Ukraine as energy grid targeted again.
"Ordinary homes, schools, and civilian businesses have also been hit," President Volodymyr Zelensky said.
The move, intended to soothe jittery markets over the disruption of Middle Eastern oil and gas supplies, underlines how the war has boosted Moscow's ability to profit from its energy exports, a pillar of the Kremlin's budget as it presses its invasion of Ukraine. https://to.pbs.org/4bt1CvX
Trump posted on his social media account about the people of Iran that "I, as the 47th President of the United States of America, am killing them. What a great honor it is to do so!”
This is the very same Trump who once listed protecting the people of Iran as one of his rationales for war.
Putin is already supplying intelligence to Iran to help them target US bases and service members in the Gulf region.
Now that Trump has announced that the US will suspend sanctions on Russian oil for as long as the Strait of Hormuz is closed, look for Putin to help Iran keep it blocked.
Idiocy.
While MAGA trolls can be annoying, they are straight-forward about their intentions.
The closeted MAGA trolls are more insidious. Rather than screaming MAGA MAGA, they use tactics such as "what-about-ism" and "sane-washing" Trump's lies, whines and rants in the hopes of confusing people.
When a federal judge (finally) put ICE officers under oath, they admitted that they are given daily detention quotas and rely heavily on a Palantir-supplied AI tool to select targets, without warrants and without enough evidence to obtain one. They simply go into neighborhoods and round people up.
Ukraine does fantastic work but still needs more support! Poland together with small coalition of the willing should agree with Ukraine and step in to close the sky over western Ukraine - thus protecting eastern Poland as well.
All 4 deaths known so far came in Kyiv region.
One was in the Vyshhorod district, where two others were injured.
The worst attack was in Brovary (video below), with 3 more killed there
But there were miraculous escapes. A family ran out through flames after a drone came through the roof their home
It's Saturday, it's Day 1480, and there is more civilian blood & deaths on Putin's hands already today.
