"It was a long night for some RW pundits… Which might explain why they were a little cranky this morning. Their hysterics are because indictment is so solid it means that the 2024 election is probably over for Republicans. That's the basis for the anger. (Though four more years of Biden is good for business, unless a vein pops out of one’s forehead, I’m worried about you, Mark Levin!)"

@jd The social media manager for the CBC is andrea.chiu@cbc.ca. I have sent the following email.

Pence is the same damn guy, where, if Donald Trump ends up as the Republican nominee, and if Trump once again were to choose Pence as his running mate, Pence would readily accept.

“I'm here in Florida. I will tell you there is no round table, no lecture, no invitation we will accept to debate an undeniable fact. There were no redeeming qualities of slavery,” responds VP Kamala Harris to #Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis calling for her to debate him about the state's new education standards.

“Carbon capture is a greenwashing tactic by greedy fossil fuel companies to try and keep their climate-wrecking industry in business. #climatechange

Politicians have fallen for the industry's spin on CCS rather than face the reality that we need a fast and fair phase out of oil and gas.”

New in Public Notice: Trump's superseding indictment paints a picture of a ridiculous Mar-a-Lago clown show https://www.publicnotice.co/p/trump-superseding-indictment-crimes-explained

Exactly 75 years ago, President Harry S. Truman repudiated 170 years of officially sanctioned discrimination when he signed Executive Order 9981, calling for desegregation of the U.S. Armed Forces. This event marked the first time a U.S. commander in chief used executive order to implement a civil rights policy, inspiring America to embrace desegregation in the future.

The MCU actually ended after Endgame.

Everything since has just churning through the formula trying to recreate the magic with a hit rate no better than the average movie studio.

When a cell doubles and redoubles, sequestering nutrients and resources, unchecked and uncontrolled, to the detriment of the surrounding tissue and eventually the entire body, we call it 'cancer'.

When a person sequesters wealth and resources, land and corporations, drunk on power, unchecked and uncontrolled, to the detriment of others and eventually to society, we call them 'billionaires'.

Greed is a disease.

Biden is up against a twice impeached adjudicated sex offender under indictment for espionage and a Florida man who has good things to say about slavery

…and it’s close.

What’s that tell you about america?

🥥 Argument for the literal truth of the #Bible works like this. 🥥

If the Tories and Republicans get re-elected at their next respective election, then humanity is doomed.

It’s game over, because this decade is absolutely critical to averting complete #ClimateMeltdown. If these countries won’t play ball, many others won’t either.

Assuming most folks here completely understand this…so how do we get the rest of the US and UK to comprehend what is at stake and the power they absolutely must use at the ballot box?
