@BlueWaver22 I believe it! Anything for $$ and self interest is what she's about! I'll NEVER forgive her for Rapist Kavanaugh and letting Drumpf off the hook! Status quo for the Domestic Terrorists and Traitors that the R's have become!!

Via Dave Wasserman, who confirms my lack of confidence in winning the House back:

New: NC Republicans just passed a new gerrymander that could flip the state from 7D-7R to as lopsided as 11R-3D. It dooms Reps. Kathy Manning (D) in #NC06, Wiley Nickel (D) in #NC13 and Jeff Jackson (D) in #NC14 and puts Rep. Don Davis (D) in a Toss Up #NC01. #NorthCarolina

Well, We Have a Speaker. He’s an Election Denier and an Extreme Christian Fundamentalist. | Meet Mike Johnson, Republicans’ new House speaker.

Musk’s suggestion to surrender #Ukraine is ‘catastrophic mistake

Podolyak posted a response refuting Musk’s argument, stating surrendering Ukraine to mandatory large-scale #genocide from Russia will have far-reaching consequences.

Appeasement will only embolden aggressors, he said, and the “great war” that Musk predicted will be even more likely.

2/ #Chutkan didn’t explicitly add attacks on DC venire to gag order because she said they were covered by previous court orders and Trump’s pretrial restriction.

DOJ is due to argue today why the gag order should be reimposed while Trump appeals it. This is sure to be exhibit A.

And I suspect they (and perhaps Chutkan) would consider this a violation of his pretrial conditions prohibiting witness tampering even absent the gag order.

The illusion of self control?

Good morning to all your faults. They’re part of who you are, and I like who you are. 🌞

The current Republican nominee for Speaker of the House was an active participant in the conspiracy to overturn the lawful results of the 2020 Presidential election. https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2023/10/25/house-speaker-vote/#link-HLM7I6BUXRBBNCN526KI6ZWF5Q

I shitcanned my Twitter 2 weeks ago.

Left behind 30,000 followers.

Only have 1000 here.

But I still get more traffic to my writing...

Which should tell you something about Birdchan.

Anyway, repost to support an indie transgender tech writer and journalist! ✍️🍕🏳️‍⚧️

I love watching the owls at the various parks.

I try to look for unique shots and in this one I was able to get a close up with a reflection in the eye of the owl

I hesitate to making declarative statements because I realize the world is complex and circumstances nuanced, but here I go.

If you plead guilty to or are convicted of using the system of justice to undermine democracy you should lose your license to practice law.

BREAKING HEADLINE!

YES—we can & will win with We the People.

We will win because we recognize that the power of working people is greater than the corporate funded people in power.

My campaign earned 5500 donations in just 3 months. That's more donations than my corporate funded opponent earned in the last 3 years COMBINED.🤯

You made that happen!

Lets get corporate money out of politics. Join my campaign for US Congress. Sign up to volunteer & donate at www.qasimrashid.com. Let’s win!

OMG, dare I dream? Rescind that pardon & lock that vile traitor up for the rest of his life. #Flynn https://politizoom.com/mike-flynn-pardon-might-be-in-trouble-due-to-powells-ga-plea/

Which TV show was better?

@JoshuaHolland
#Speaker designate #MikeJohnson also has an F grade from #GOP for #Ukraine

His speakership would be a gift for #Putin.

Not to mention a disaster for our own republic.

I've been wondering a lot about aging in software development.

Any > 40-year old developers out there that'd like to share their perspective?

How did you grow (technically, managing, etc...)? Picked up fields over others (embeded systems over web app, for instance)?

Would love to connect!

Boost for reach please 🙏
