“Secretaries of the Navy, Air Force and Army are calling on Sen. Tommy #Tuberville (R-Ala.) to release his hold on military promotions, accusing him of putting national security “at risk.”

“Any claim that holding up the promotions of top officers does not directly damage the military is wrong — plain and simple,”

I will renew my offer: If the GOP stops enacting illegal voting and redistricting laws, my team will stop suing them for enacting illegal voting and redistricting laws.

It would actually save them a lot of money and embarrassment. Kind of a win-win.

@GreenFire people minimizing those actions should also be prosecuted for providing aid and comfort to them.

Archive of Miami Against Fascism on #EnriqueTarrioSentencing

Proud Boy leader Enrique Tarrio received a 22 year sentence for his role in J6, the judge calling him the "ultimate leader of the conspiracy.”

But Tarrio existed within an ecosystem of Miami & south Florida’s far-right and it’s time to shine some light on that. 1/🧵

NOW onto the super-cool, hilarious, squeeeee news of the day: even if the worst happens and Texas GOP Senate Republicans eventually vote to acquit and put Paxton back to work to commit more crimes, there will first be a trial, during which Paxton’s crimes will be explored and covered AGAIN by the Texas press & local news channels — but this time, hopefully, the national media will get in on it, and it will be like a fun holiday for many millions of Texans.

‘Texas Senate rejects all motions to dismiss Ken Paxton impeachment charges’

“The pretrial motions required a majority vote. The most support a motion to dismiss received was 10 out of 30 senators.”

@GreenFire these are some of the traitors than fund right terrorist disinformation media that is destroying America! Treat them like the terrorists they are.

A word about #ADL: As with most organizations, I don’t agree with every position they take. But when Musk accuses the most organized voice against #antisemitism in the U.S. of costing him ad revenue, he is leaning on a most #antisemitic dog whistle (that Jews control the media) and he most definitely knows it. 1/2

Morning at the Pt Reyes
The Pt. Reyes is a fishing boat that ran aground many years ago in Tamales Bay in Marin County just north of San Francisco.
The boat has been sitting on the shoreline for many years slowly decaying. All of the windows have been broken out and anything worth money has already been removed.

I just checked in on Goodreads to see if my new updated edition of "The Grammar Daily" is there yet (currently available for preorder), and I was surprised to see it is not only there, but already has five great reviews!

I had forgotten that St. Martin's is making it available to reviewers through NetGalley.

If you get books to review from NetGalley, go get yourself a copy today! And thanks to all the people who already reviewed it. You made this author's day. 🙂

It's not every day that I have to block someone on Mastodon. Today is one of those days tho.

Nothing awful. I'm just not dealing with foolish theories of "Black people invent claims of racism on Mastodon, just to promote BlueSky?" Wait.. what? 🤡

So why do we then point out racism on BlueSky? To promote Threads? And Threads to promote what? Where does it end?

Honestly, I don't even have time for that foolishness. And talking to people like that is not required for reducing racism on Mastodon.

REMINDER

cops are not labor.

they are slave catchers, bail extortionists and state-controlled terrorists who only exist to serve the interests of the American oligarchy.

cops don't have #unions. they have union-busting gangs

When the administration of my university and my faculty refused to take a stand against #antisemitism on campus, #ADL provided a systematic, safe way to raise the problem with the dean and the president of the university. There was no other way this could have been done. Whether on the bird site or elsewhere, it is imperative to have organizations to object and to educate about antisemitism and other forms of racism and bigotry. 2/2

There will be just general feelings of feeling terrible, because the whole world is generally in pain and suffering and there are too many causes to count. Trying to find one cause is a waste of time. The body still will feel it all, and need to release it somehow. These are trying times.

Good night everyone. See you tomorrow, sleep well.

The guy on the right just got sentenced to 22 years. Can they seriously not link him to the longtime enemy of America he's pictured here with? #Tarrio #EnriqueTarrio #RogerStone #Jan6

The first light breaks over the vastness of the ocean, a breathtaking spectacle of nature. The sky is painted in various shades of orange & purple casting a gentle glow across the water. The rhythmic sound of the waves is soothing as we begin another amazing day.

Non-Jews: please understand that every Jewish friend and colleague you have is aware of (and likely scared of) Elon Musk’s increasingly bold support of antisemitic causes and actors.

We’re also seeing who is still posting about Musk’s businesses as though the two are completely unrelated.
