Musk is a steeming pile, but if we as a society depend on a private organization to provide us with public safety, then that’s on us.

When I was mayor of California I would have said “keep the lake! We don’t need no stinking cows and almonds “.

Look how fast the United States government springs into action if you aren’t rich and you lack political power
Even Merrick Garland came out of his hidey-hole to make a statement
So, Jack Teixeira gets to await trial at Mar-a-Lago where he can sell state secrets he took, right?
A CNN pundit just characterized the mifepristone decision as “questioning the integrity of the FDA process.”
Seems more accurate to say that the decision questions the integrity of the judge that made the decision.

The stunning reporting from Pro Publica merits a response from the Supreme Court. Not from Justice Thomas, but from the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court. These are serious revelations which further imperil the integrity of the Court. Silence is not an option.
Gun protesters should be using the same tactics as abortion protesters.
I often drive by a Planned Parenthood clinic where abortion protesters occasionally carry blown up photos of  aborted fetuses. Like it or not, this tactic is effective. Gun protesters should absolutely adopt it. Horrific photos of gunshot victims should be rubbed in the faces of NRA convention goers, gun shop visitors, and Republican congressman. Ruthlessly 
Sorry Elon. Turns out the woke mind virus didn’t turn San Francisco into the crime ridden Communist haven that killed Bob Lee. Turns out Bob Lee was killed by another tech bro.

Some folks might be thinking, “Unlike the Fediverse, Substack gives writers an opportunity to get paid.”
Not so fast.
When @TexasObserver was nearly shut down because they lacked funding for operations, they turned to the Fediverse for help.
Within 48 hours, we helped them raise $250,000 in funding—and now that 70-year-old newspaper still lives.
As a result 17 journalists still have their jobs.
54 percent...
“The latest polling (4/11/23) from KFF finds a majority (54%) of U.S. adults have either personally or had a family member who has been impacted by a gun-related incident, such as witnessing a shooting, being threatened by gun, or being injured or killed by a gun.”
Celebrating my 34th year of not going to Easter mass at the Catholic Church that harbored one of the, who knows how many, child molesters that scarred my oldest brother for life.
Sadly remembering my devout mother that continued to tithe that criminal enterprise $20 a week because her blind faith was coerced by fear since birth.
Screw all that resurrection nonsense. Spring has sprung and the world is so beautiful it hurts!

Keep in mind that Elon Musk, the “genius” who doesn’t even know the difference between publicly funded media and state-run media, has received over $5 billion in government funding for his own companies. But apparently he has no idea how that funding even works?
This seems like a good time to mandate civic and financial literacy training for billionaire CEO’s who want to benefit from our tax dollars.
Over 600 Maryland children sexually assaulted by more than 150 drag que...oh, wait...never mind... it was nothing...
Let’s see, what’s going to happen first? An assault weapons ban? Or a supreme court ethics policy?
Oh, never mind.
Why expand the Supreme Court? How about getting rid of the people that shouldn’t be there?

Clarence Thomas is our latest outrage du jour. Wouldn't it be nice if we could stop finding new indignities, and start doing something about the ones we already have?

I am, very sadly, in full agreement with @owillis: "There is no hope left here. The mainstream press isn’t going to have a moment of reflection or shame when they realize what they have collectively done to wound America’s legacy."

In the history of tree sloths, not a single tree sloth has robbed a bank. However, if a tree sloth did, in fact, rob a bank, the motherfucker would be indicted and convicted just the same. True, it would be unprecedented, but the motherfucker would still be indicted and convicted. Capeesh?
