Trump Ignores Deadline for Financial Disclosure
“Former President Donald Trump has a minor addition to his mounting pile of legal challenges after he failed to meet the deadline to disclose his personal financial holdings,” the New York Times reports.
“But the threatened initial penalty — a meager $200 — is the latest sign of how weak federal enforcement of campaign laws has become.”
So, Lauren Boebert’s son is driving recklessly, high as a kite
He severely injures his friend, causing a permanent disability in the friends hand
Drug paraphernalia in the car.
The friend who was injured gets the drug charges
Boebert’s kid magically gets “careless driving causing bodily injury” reduced to non-functioning headlights.
But tell me about the “Deep State” again?

In Texas, Daniel Perry—a white man—posted "he might kill a few people," drove his car past a red light & into a previously peaceful BLM march, shot & killed a protestor (a US Vet), was duly charged, unanimously convicted—& TX Gov Abbott is pardoning him.😳
Texas is announcing to the world that in their view, murdering people for exercising their First Amendment right to peacefully protesting racism is OK.
This isn't democracy. It's fascism. This sets a literally deadly precedent for the future.
So if I'm following the plot, #ClarenceThomas has for decades accepted gifts and hospitality from a #GOP megadonor, including island-hopping on a super-yacht. One trip cost $500,000. This megadonor has an impressive collection of #Nazi memorabilia complete with a garden of dictator statues. And the megadonor's brother has been accused of financing a sex-trafficking ring. Have I got that right?
@suavebones @JenWojcik this is what they're counting on. Restricting the options and movements of women is their end goal.

Hilariously reserved way to say that crypto mining adds nothing to the world while increasing electricity usage dramatically.
Anyway, good, infuriating story:

Hounded by baseless voter fraud allegations, an entire county's election staff quits in #Virginia
In Buckingham County, four people quit their jobs after a feud between local Republicans and the general registrar consumed the small community.
The Texas MAGA federal judge banned Mifepristone because “FDA didn’t properly review its health risks” which is reportedly ~14 annual deaths.
Well, guess what, Viagra has ~200 annual reported deaths.
So…when do MAGAs ban Viagra??🤔
Oh right, never, because MAGA only cares about controlling women. They don't care that Mifepristone is incredibly safe for women, and even safer than childbirth. They only care about advancing their agenda to control women. Vote these MAGA Extremists out permanently

THE US EDUCATION SYSTEM WAS NEVER CREATED TO PREPARE CHILDREN HOW TO BE A COMMON SENSE USING PROBLEM SOLVING ADULT!. IT WAS A SYSTEM OF BASIC EDUCATION BUT, MORE IMPORTANTLY A NATIONALIST PROPAGANDA CAMP. FORCING A PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE DRILLED INTO THEIR MINDS! LIKE RELIGION THINK THIS WAY AND THIS WAY ONLY!. THE GOP IS WORKING TO RETURN TO THAT SYSTEM EVEN MORE RIGID AND INDOCTRINATING!
"Let states decide" was a lie. A Trump-appointed judge is trying to ban a safe, effective drug that has been on the market for decades, in defiance of science and law.
Republicans are trying to ram national abortion bans and extreme right-wing ideology down Americans' throats.

"That Mark Saunders and Brad Bradford support Doug Ford's casino-sized private spa on public land should disqualify them as serious candidates for Mayor.
It's obvious who they will serve, and it sure ain't the people of #Toronto."

What is this?
Twitter was quite good at IDing the last bit of random tat/treasure my dad asked you about last time I visited him. Let’s see if Mastodon does as well this time.
Boosts welcome.
@ProPublica broke the story of Justice Thomas' blatant corruption. In a follow-up after Thomas claimed he'd done nothing wrong, the news org quoted his BS and then, citing people who know what they're talking about, refuted the BS.

Contrast this with the Washington Post's coverage: A story uncritically amplifying the BS, and a less-prominent sidebar labeled a "fact check".
ProPublica did it right. The Post did it wrong.

Mostly reclusive and carrying slightly damaged goods. A survivor by some accounts. Definitely in need of much therapy. ;)
Staunchly anti-fascist
Bear in mind that, while I may "like" your "toot", about a person, event or particular topic, if it links to the "bird-site" I will no longer boost and inadvertently contribute to their grift. Everyone has a choice and a part to play when crimes go unpunished.
