Nothing is normal. There’s a bill in North Carolina to make it illegal for election officials to encourage people to vote. Even nonpartisan outreach is under attack. Democracy is on the line. It’s never too early. REGISTER! Do it now! @lwvus.bsky.social @lwvva.bsky.social @lwvnc.bsky.social

Overheard: I'm surprised the nickname β€œPedofuhrer" hasn't caught on yet.

Oh hell!

There’s a summer COVID surge called the β€œnimbus variant.” I don’t know who comes up with these names, but if you’re sick, please stay home.

Razor‑blade throat: standout symptomβ€”feeling like razor blades or broken glass. It’s often extremely painful when swallowing.

Army veteran and US citizen arrested in California immigration raid warns it could happen to anyone A U.S. Army veteran arrested during an immigration raid at a California marijuana farm says he was sprayed with tear gas and pepper spray before being dragged from his vehicle on his way to work.

ICE detained a veteran and U.S. citizen for three days.

They didn’t let him contact his family or a lawyer. They didn’t let him change or shower. They didn’t give him a reason for his detention.

Under this regime, no one is safe. apnews.com/article/us-a...

My guess is that canceling Colbert was part of the "settlement" (aka bribe) to let Paramount go forward with their next big merger.

Yep. He's mowing down all the major news sources that dare oppose him. And now the comedians, with Stephen Colbert being the latest. This is serious dictator sh!t.

Governor Newsom Delivers Major Address to Californians
YouTube video by California Governor Gavin Newsom Governor Newsom Delivers Major Address to Californians

Believe me, I couldn’t be more excited to return to critiquing him on policy someday.

But right now, in this exact moment, Gavin Newsom, is the de facto leader of the free world.

While Trump wastes millions on a military parade in DC, we're mobilizing everywhere else to show that organized people power is stronger than his authoritarian aspirations. app.sosha.ai/s/29YFZnGR
