Yes, 100% correct.

Disenfranchising millions of black voters, that's OK for Roberts

But disenfranchising millions of white #MAGA voters in a few blue states, that's unacceptable.

A not widely known aspect of governance in case you're interested is that:

Legislating effectively is actually pretty boring. That's why these modern Republicans have stopped doing it. They just use the attention they get in the chamber of our democracy for grandstanding trying to get a viral sound bite for Tik Tok or whatever media is reaching the most at the moment.

Anyways, seems like Senator Whitehouse is making some nice quiet progress on the #SCOTUS corruption. https://youtu.be/pWUr-rOBKxw?si=0ZK99b4KC-aiGSJP

BREAKING NEWS 🚨

Numerous residential buildings are now on fire in the heart of Moscow.

If Joe Biden starts selling secrets to Putin and the Saudis-when he forgets he’s an American, then I’ll worry.

Since that’s not happening, I’m good with him making a verbal mistake. Every person does it. FFS.

Things are not always what they seem.

This photo of Ginza was from yesterday afternoon when she was enjoying the sun puddle coming through the south windows.

#SCOTUS is not interested in rule of law. Also, it's a Thursday.

We need to expand the court and put term limits on SCOTUS.

We can only do this if the Democrats control both houses of Congress and the White House. We'll need the majority of state houses too.

Vote like your life depends on it.

The most benign thing #Trump did was ask if he could nuke a hurricane.

And remember, Haley wouldn't nuke a hurricane but she'd sure as shit turn the police on her enemies.

No good GOPers. None.

Before the chairman of Nevada’s Republican Party introduced former President Donald J. Trump at a campaign event last month, he casually referred to a telling private conversation they’d had.

“When I talked to the president, I said, ‘I guarantee you, Nevada will show up, and we will deliver you 100 percent of delegates for the state of Nevada,’” the chairman, Michael J. McDonald, told hundreds of Trump supporters gathered in Las Vegas.

Screen shot from an actual campaign video, from MAGA Republican candidate for Missouri Valentina Gomez, in which she promises:

“When I’m Secretary of State, I will 🔥BURN🔥all books that are grooming, indoctrinating, and sexualizing our children. MAGA. America First🇺🇸”

I remember when the Nazis burned books. I also remember what they burned next.

And a reminder that if someone [like yours truly 😏] is boosting too much for your timeline, you can turn off boosts using the three dots in their profile!

8 February 1942 | A Hungarian Jewish boy, Eliezer Hirsh, was born in Szatmárnémeti.

In May 1944 he was deported to Auschwitz and murdered in a gas chamber.

Noting that Republican senator James Lankford has stated that he was threatened by a right-wing media personality if Lankford tried to move a border bill before the election, Heather Cox Richardson says,

"It is not a normal part of our political system to have members of Congress deciding what laws to support on the basis of threats."

So apparently the term "patch" in software development comes from punch cards.

"Small corrections to the programmed sequence could be done by patching over portions of the paper tape and re-punching the holes in that section."

CLIMATE CRISIS!

The future is now. The effects are real. The damage is being done today!

An image captured off the Norwegian archipelago of Svalbard shows a young polar bear sleeping on a small iceberg after carving a bed in the ice.

Note the lack of sea ice in the background!

As the sea ice vanishes, so too wiil the polar bear.

Oh hey, the Attorney General of Indiana has published a snitch line for schools who teach LGBTQ+ issues, or make Woke materials available to their students!

Here’s the URL. Use it responsibly. Don’t use it to report Godzilla flying the Trans flag or anything like that, ok?

Break out my meds, Harley wants to play #KittyFetch .

It's strange, but I feel the overarching lesson of Twitter was "how snarkily funny can I be" whereas on Mastodon it's "how kind and generous can I be" and good lord I am so here for this change, even if it results in less clickbait and "engagement"
