Here's Pam Bondi making an offer worthy of a mob boss: give us your voter rolls so we can shut down the midterm elections, and we'll call off the DHS invasion of Minnesota.

We Caught DOJ Trying to Hide More of the Epstein Files Publisher's Roundup 51

DOJ released the Epstein files…

then quietly changed them

@democracydefendersfund.org compared the DOJ's original disclosures w/ its current Epstein Library & found 70+ records retroactively altered

No justification

AG Bondi demands access to Minnesota voter rolls after fatal Border Patrol shooting Her demand came as Minneapolis was reeling from a second fatal shooting by a federal agent this month.

I have been warning for weeks the administration will do anything to get these records. They want to rig the midterms

BREAKING: Canada And The EU Exploring "Nuclear Option" To Stop Trump/Putin's Attempt To Pillage Ukraine If Trump Sells Out Ukraine, Allies Are Ready To Hit America Where It Hurts

The greedy MFer in the WH is screwing w everyone's financial security (except that of his fellow corrupt bastards, of course), but we knew that already😑

However, a big Kudos to the EU for being done w trying to pacify a corrupt bully. Past time for them to make plans to hit the AH where it hurts.

No matter how clearly you think it's written, someone else can find a conflicting way of interpreting it. There's no human arbiter to settle the matter of whether you're wrong, they're wrong, or both. This absence of a check leaves religious faith an unaccountable mess. "True Christian" = nonsense.

Yes, belief without reason and evidence is nonsense. Arrogant, irresponsible nonsense.

No. You don't get to define Christian. The most horrible people have as much right to call themselves Christian as anyone else.

Pritzker: "People of Illinois, we need your help. Get our your cell phones, record and narrate what you see. Put it on social media. Peacefully ask for badge numbers and identification. Speak up for your neighbors. We need to let the world know that this is happening and that we won't stand for it."

Making LLMs say, "I don't know," 30% of the time will make no difference. Sugar coating the verbiage doesn't fix their inability to meaningfully check their own work.

That he opposed Trump before it was fashionable isn't enough to earn my trust.

He may end up useful to the GOP as a spoiler candidate.

There's a problem with barring candidates based on criminal history. The powers that be can get a bogus conviction on any powerful rival.

My guess is that some people are gaming their outrage. They care about many things, but they amplify whatever is most promising for toppling the regime. For others it's cold engagement farming. And then there are the simple emo folks uncritically reacting to whatever excites them.

ALERT
DC Police (MPD) has announced that they will start collaborating with ICE at traffic checkpoints
Aug 14 onwards

What does this mean?
- MPD has started to set up traffic checkpoints  with federal agencies (like ICE) to stop people
- During the traffic stop they can ask about a person’s immigration status
- MPD can also share immigration status information of a person stopped at a checkpoint with ICE so that ICE can come and detain them
- Warning: ICE may be present at MPD precincts in an attempt to take custody of a person after release

Important to understand:
- The Trump administration does not care about the law. Even if you do everything right, they can detain you.
- Still, it is important to know your rights, b/c of potential legal recourse after MPD or federal agents violate them

Why? Disinformation is a helluva drug.

They don't believe they're doing it or they don't believe anything other than tribal loyalty matters. Some dumb thing in any case.

It starts with believing truth comes from authority, not evidence, e.g. the Bible.

My country is doing great evil. There is no other word for it.

It is being done on purpose, with malevolent intent to harm other human beings. And we know it is happening.

We live in a nation where I am now sending out alerts about what the U.S. attorney general is doing in our name.

It’s a lot to sit with.

It’s going to get a lot darker before it starts getting lighter, but I will keep doing what I do. And, it will get lighter again.

I recall, not so long ago, when liberals would get laughed at by fellow liberals if they even suggested that Donald Trump would build concentration camps.

Not so funny now, is it?

Understanding low COVID-19 booster uptake among US adults - PubMed Improvement in booster uptake is necessary for optimal public health in the United States. The development of vaccines against SARS-CoV-2 occurred at an unprecedented speed, but vaccine uptake remains...

And why do people still refuse COVID19 vaccines even though their safety and effectiveness have been proven many times over? I published a paper about this. It’s because people are misinformed, and this is because of Prasad, RFK Jr., and others who constantly fabricate lies about COVID19 vaccines.

FDA vaccine official restricted COVID vaccine approvals against the advice of agency staff A top official at the Food and Drug Administration recently overruled government scientists on the availability of two COVID-19 vaccines

Vinay Prasad overrode the recommendations of a panel of scientists who said that 2025-2026 COVID19 vaccines should be recommended for everyone over the age of 12 years.

COVID19 remains a serious public health threat. He will get people killed. He doesn’t care. His ego wins, always.

The Trump administration deports people without due process to a foreign concentration camp where they are tortured, as it asks for millions to do it more. If democracy is to survive, the people responsible need to suffer consequences and be kept from power.
