Abbott sues to remove Houston lawmaker for leading redistricting quorum break The lawsuit alleges Gene Wu forfeited his office when he led the Democratic House caucus in fleeing the state over redistricting.

This attempt to replace democratically elected lawmakers is a dangerous effort to overturn elections and undermine our democracy.

It’s the will of the voters, not the will of Governor Abbott or President Trump.

Hell yes! #UnionStrong

I remember when this happened.

A legal permanent resident researching cures for Lyme disease has been detained by immigration officials for over a week.

He has reportedly been denied access to an attorney and his family has not been given a reason for his detention.

We cannot become immune to this cruelty.

Post from "The Rundown" July 18 at 5:30 PM · DuckDuckGo has introduced a new feature allowing users to filter out AI-generated images from search results, addressing growing concerns over synthetic content overwhelming authentic visuals online. The filter can be activated through a dropdown in the Images tab, search settings, or by using a dedicated AI-free domain: noai.duckduckgo.com. The system relies on curated blocklists, including uBlockOrigin’s Huge AI Blocklist, to detect and suppress AI-generated imagery. While not perfect, it significantly reduces synthetic content visibility. This move sets DuckDuckGo apart from competitors like Google and Bing by giving users direct control over their exposure to AI-generated material. Source: TechCrunch

…
This old world, she's gonna turn around
Brand new bells'll be ringing

…
When he tells me I better get in line
I can't hear what he's sayin'
When I grow up, I'm gonna make it mine
These ain't dues that I've been payin'

Working starts to make me wonder where
Fruits of what I do is going
He says in love and war all is fair
He's got cards that he ain't showing

YouTube video by Jonathan Edwards - Topic Sunshine (Go Away Today)

…song from back then was Sunshine, sung by Jonathan Edwards. Stronger lyrics:

(excerpts)
Sunshine, go away today
Don't feel much like dancin'
Some man's gone, he tried to run my life
He don't know what he's askin’
…

Solid anti-capitalist lyrics of the era!

Tradin' my time for the pay I get
Livin' on money that I ain't made yet
I've been goin', tryin' to make my way
But I live for the end of the day.
'Cause it's a five o'clock world when the whistle blows
No one owns a piece of my time

Another anti-capitalist…

Smithsonian to restore Trump to impeachment exhibit ‘in the coming weeks’ A placard referring to Trump’s two impeachments was removed in July, after the Smithsonian agreed to perform a “content review”

FEC records show Elizabeth Fago donated $1M to Trump's super PAC in April.

What happened next?

Three weeks later Trump pardoned her son, a nursing home executive who pleaded guilty to withholding millions from his workers' paychecks (while buying a luxury yacht).

Everything is for sale.

Donald Trump hates PBS so much because he can’t spell it.

Attorney General Pam Bondi has filed a formal complaint against U.S. District Court Judge James Boasberg for misconduct. The misconduct? Holding PEDO accountable for breaking the law.

REPOST if you stand with Judge Boasberg against PEDO and Bondi !

I guess I want to say that Virginia Giuffre was a real, living person who was more than the terrible things that happened to her. She took her own life this year and in a better world, she would still be here, speaking for herself, not a subject of careless chatter by the small and vicious.

Yes, I agree with you. I
was really talking about the Party brass…the DNC…the institution. Some of the best fighters are moderates, too. At least they believe in what they do & say. For progressives, there isn’t any other place to fight & have a hope of being effective. Unfortunately, third parties

I’m a Jew who supports Palestinian liberation. Judaism & Zionism are different. Judaism is an identity: a religion, people, history, culture. Zionism is a political ideology saying Jews have more rights in Israel than people who lived there for centuries, espec Palestinians. NEVER AGAIN for ANYONE.

🟦 Use the Democratic Party as best you can but don’t fool yourself that it will “learn” to fight fascism/oppression. Dems get power from the same system that allows fascism/oppression to control Republican Party. True victory would eliminate money in politics, Electoral College…the system itself.

Trump's Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick just relaxed export restrictions on AI chip manufacturers AMD and Nvidia.

Lutnick's family business empire holds a combined $1.1B stake in both companies.

"Conflict of interest" is an understatement.
