Not surprised to see Aileen Cannon sealing all evidence regarding the orange felon’s fake assassination attempt involving Ryan Routh since she’s yet another criminal who was installed to help cover up for the orange felon just like Pam Bondi has done with the Epstein files.

Whats interesting here is that the Trump Admin is acknowledging that segregation and poverty correlates with race, but they just dont want you to talk about it.

There’s a senile old man in orange makeup wandering around on the roof of the White House making weird hand gestures.

oh he's losing it, losing it

Trump being on the roof isn’t even hitting my absurdity button. I’m just mad.

If this was just any regular incoherent elderly guy pretty sure the next stop would be a memory care facility.

The rich must be incentivised; the poor must be disciplined.

The political economy of the super-elite in one headline.

my only issue with this piece is the framing that "liberals blame wokeness" while not providing any evidence of any liberals blaming wokeness – unless the conceit is that the essayist being addressed is a "liberal," which is questionable

Planned Parenthood to close in Louisiana after more than 40 years. See details. "This is not a decision we wanted to make," said Melaney Linton, the president and CEO of Planned Parenthood Gulf Coast, adding that "political warfare" on the nonprofit by its opponents forced the cl...

New: Planned Parenthood Gulf Coast will shutter its two Louisiana clinics and exit the state.

The clinics have never provided abortions—the state wouldn't grant licenses—and affiliate's Texas clinics haven't offered abortion since 2022, so "defund" bill doesn't affect PPGC. @nolanews.bsky.social

I don't think the controversy about the Supreme Leader of the Republican Party raping children is going away any time soon.

Oh we’re going back to the OLD racisms

Fact checking this BS again:
-MOST PEOPLE ON MEDICAID WORK
-THOSE WHO DON'T WORK ARE KIDS, DISABLED OR RETIRED
-THE SMALL NUMBER OF ABLE BODIED PEOPLE ON MEDICAID & NOT WORKING ARE NOT "HEALTHY YOUNG ADULTS JUST HANGING OUT." THEY ARE POOR WOMEN OVER 40. www.politifact.com/factchecks/2...

The world nearly beat polio. But fake records, an imperfect vaccine and missteps aided its comeback The World Health Organization has closed in on its bold goal of eradicating polio several times, but the paralytic virus is entrenched in parts of Afghanistan and Pakistan.

Afghanistan and Pakistan are the world’s toughest holdouts for the polio virus, even as most countries have stopped its spread. An AP investigation reveals how mistrust, mismanagement and even some falsified vaccine records are hindering efforts to wipe out the virus.

🚨The Epstein Files subpoena is out! The subpoena, that Oversight Democrats forced Republicans to vote on, has been issued.

We have asked for the files by August 19. We are going to end this White House cover-up.

His handlers are letting the big toddler wander around to avoid a tantrum.

The second (and more troubling) trend is that Obergefell v. Hodges, the now decade-old Supreme Court decision recognizing a right to same-sex marriage, is squarely in the judiciary’s crosshairs. Several nominees were asked whether cases like Brown v. Board of Education, which held school segregation unconstitutional, and Loving v. Virginia, which struck down bans on interracial marriage, were correctly decided, and all agreed that they were. But when asked if the same was true of Obergefell, they all demurred. Tung said only that “the Supreme Court granted such a right.” Mercer described it as “binding precedent,” but said it wasn’t his job to “grade the Supreme Court.” The implication of their careful treatment of Obergefell was clear to anyone listening: These nominees, like those during Trump’s first term who described Roe and Casey as “the law of the land” and “precedent on precedent,” are foaming at the mouth to undermine and eventually overturn Obergefell and relegate same-sex couples to second class status.

A pretty ominous trend to watch: Trump's second-term judicial nominees are providing the same cryptic answers about Obergefell v. Hodges that Trump's first-term judicial nominees provided when asked about Roe v. Wade ballsandstrikes.org/nominations/...

Lost dog in SF. If spotted text John 8572340177 or call animal control 4155546364. Very shy. Do not chase! Dog pictured is about 35 pounds, lean, brown brindle coat with black stripes, large pointed ears like a heeler, and dark muzzle.

SF, please help me find my dog. She was lost by her sitter in the mission. But when she escaped 2 years ago, she made it all the way to Golden Gate Park. She is very sweet but very shy.

I am very worried about her getting hurt while she’s loose.

'This is domestic terror': Shaken by ICE raids, pastors rethink ministries (RNS) — The fear of raids has pushed some congregations back to pandemic-era worship strategies.

Just a reminder and warning if some of you never got DMs like this:

It's a famous scam tactic to gather infos from you. Saddly those DMs comes from people you follow that got hacked.
Best is to report those.

I checked my Twitter fast and got like 20+ of those, they really want to hack me too.

Google search has just become startlingly bad - recently I've found things on DuckDuckGo that Google's search engine has just flatly insisted *don't exist online anymore*.
