JFC when are Dems going to enter the β€œvoter ID” fray and remind people that you cannot register to vote without ID, ALREADY! We have to message it with intensity and repetition. They are selling the any random person can vote message hard.

I remain so mad about the FDA’s refusal to even look at the mRNA flu vaccine, let alone when I learned earlier this week of a treatment trial where an mRNA vaccine stopped an aggressive form of breast cancer in its tracks. Full cure.

These fuckers will kill us all if they have their way.

The reactionary centrist logic is simple: if the left does something bad it’s the left’s fault, and if the right does something bad, it’s also the left’s fault for making them do it. It’s a simple formula and once you see it every one of their arguments is the same

Bovine refers to animals in the subfamily Bovinae, cattle, bison, buffalo, and related antelopes, characterized by cloven hooves and often horns, known for their slow, placid, or sometimes dull demeanor. β€œBovine” also describes dull, cow-like traits in humans.

We will either end fossil fuel dependency and the predatory extractivist basis of global production, or they will end us through wars and ecological collapse - all at the same time.

Screenshot of a post on X by journalist Julie K. Brown (@jkbjournalist). The post reads: β€œThis photo of Donald Trump and Ghislaine Maxwell that was found on Steve Bannon’s cell phone should be made public.” Below the text is an image of an internal email dated June 11, 2021, with the subject line β€œGM photo on Bannon phone.” The email states that while reviewing images from Steve Bannon’s iPhone using Cellebrite, investigators found a photo of Trump and Ghislaine Maxwell on Bannon’s phone and flagged it for prosecutors. Most names and details in the email are blacked out, including the attached photo.

There is zero justification for this photo to be redacted
