SCOTUS guts the Clean Water Act. Like many things done by this corrupt and illegitimate group of bribe-sucking toadies, this will kill people.

People on twitter calling Christy Moore a traitor remind me why I don't post over there any more.

Imagine the sheer arrogance required to be a frightened keyboard warrior with no real understanding of the world beyond your cosy social-media hate group, and insulting one of our wisest artists, now into his 7th decade of social activism.

Be like Christy. Not like the bigots who are screeching at him.

There are advantages to living in a smaller town, with just one gas/service station, one grocery store, etc. Unfortunately, when 12 cars have their tires slashed in one development, that advantage becomes a hindrance. We're also bumping up against a holiday and the end of the month for inspections, so I likely won't get my car back for a few days. Fortunately, my insurance allows a rental car, which should arrive tonight.

My shorthand for the approach we most need in election coberage is this:

"Not the odds, but the stakes."

How does this work in practice? Margaret Sullivan answers that in The Guardian today. "Now’s the time to think about just how bad a DeSantis presidency would be."

Not how DeSantis plans to outwit Trump and then succeed in "the general" (itself an insidery phrase...) but what life would be like if he took power.

Not the odds, but the stakes.

Prominent #bigot and creepy sociopath Ron DeSantis hopes to cruise to the White House by blathering and blithering a bunch of #Orwellian bullshit skimmed out of the #FoxNews toilet. It won't work. #USpolitics #GOP https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2023/05/25/desantis-diversity-woke-campaign/

Lauren Boebert's son called 911 to report that his father was physically abusing him

What did Lauren do?

She chose the abuser over her children

Jayson Boebert’s son called 911
The dispatcher asked if the boy was harmed. He responded “Yes, he was throwing me across…there are weapons in the house…He just does this to me so much." 
While deputies were on their way Lauren jumped on the phone to say her son "doesn't need help" 

Imagine the damage to their kids lives

Party of family values.

Apparently it's not just #towelday but also #525FloppyDay

So Happy floppy day 🤗

We must make sure the George Floyd Justice In Policing Act is signed into law.

Vote in elections. So that we can get politicians in Congress who will make this Act law.

- I click on .csv file link
- This opens Microsoft secure log-in portal
- I wait for log-in code sent via email
- Excel opens in browser
- Excel downloads file as .xlsx
- I manually open file on PC

Wanda Sykes has it right! “Until a drag queen walks into a school and beats 8 kids to death with a copy of ‘To Kill A Mockingbird,’ I think you’re focusing on the wrong shit.”

Why am I sitting here crying about human suffrring from almost 100 years ago?

Because it can happen here, again.

I don't think that we have another FDR in us.
