If you are #trans and a minor in #Missouri, the #MOleg has taken your access to transition healthcare away. (Because they're awful people with empty lives, and I'm sorry they have power over us.)

There is a program that will help connect you and your parents with gender-affirming medical care in another state, with small grants to help with travel:

A gay black Republican Rob Smith was confronted by a bunch of white supremacist at a Turning Points USA.

Rob you are a fraud and a self-hating black man who
knew the GOP Nazis makes no secret of who they're voters are while only using black so-called Conservative for cover.

I have no damn sympathy.

Preventing a guy who attempted a coup from fulfilling his promise to become a dictator on day one is fraught for democracy, gaslighters say

welcome to my world

documentation of x86 and mac backup tape formats woudl be a REALLY useful tool to have

BREAKING: All existing broadcast, cable, and satellite news/entertainment providers announce that they are merging into a single entity to be branded "TAKE IT OR LEAVE IT!" The one streaming package that will exist after the merger closes will be $1000/mo. Payable in Bitcoin only. With ads.

So, tl dr: yeah, this ruling is disappointing, but it's not necessarily nefarious. And trial may get delayed, but it might not.

The mills of the gods turn slowly, but they grind exceedingly fine. It's okay to be frustrated by the slowness, but please don't mistake it for corruption (yet).

Fin.

Deleted my substack account due to the subpar behavior of the gatekeepers. Pity as I lost two of my favorite writers: Ruth Reichl and the Sebastopol Times.

Some background about #RaymondMattia's murder

#BorderPatrol Video of Killing Shows #Native Man Had No Gun, Complied With Orders

Raymond Mattia’s family said the partial release of body camera footage “feels like a cheap attempt to justify what they did.”

June 26 2023

"The case is still under investigation, with the participation of the Border Patrol’s parent agency, Customs and Border Protection, as well as the FBI and the Tohono #Oodham Nation. Of the 10 Border Patrol agents involved in the incident, three opened fire, CBP has said. Those agents are currently on administrative leave. Whether Tohono O’odham #police also opened fire is unclear.

"The family hoped that the body camera videos would provide answers to their questions. When they arrived at a Tohono O’odham police substation last week to view the footage, however, they found that was not the case. Though CBP had confirmed that all 10 agents involved in the incident were wearing body cameras, the family was shown the same 28-minute edited video the agency released to the public last week, which only included video from the three agents who opened fire."

In 1869 it was decided to have 9 Supreme Court justices at SCOTUS because there were 9 Circuit Courts.

Now there are 13 Circuit Courts. So what exactly are we waiting for?

It is not the January 6 Committee or the Department of Justice or judges in Colorado that put the Republic in dangerous, uncharted territory. Trump did that, and Republicans did that when they refused to hold him accountable even after the violent attack on the Capitol. 5/

The courts vs democracy? Frankly, I find all this “let the people decide” talk remarkably backwards. The people decided, Trump lost, and attempted an auto-coup. January 6 was the anti-democratic part. In Colorado, the system didn’t conduct a pre-emptive strike – it responded. 8/

2/ Via Meidas Touch:

When Rogan thought Biden said it, he said it was disqualifying and made him unfit to hold any job anywhere.

When he found out it was Trump who actually said it, he made excuses for him and said he must’ve just messed up.

The rules are simple:
1. Support the Working Class.
2. Don't be a dick.
3. Don't be a purity troll.
4. Don't be a fascist.

If you are forcing people who usually write about food to write about their opposition to Nazis, you are not the champions of discourse you think you are.

As Hyperloop One shuts down, we need to remember that the Hyperloop was never meant to be built.

Elon Musk’s goal was never to transform transportation for the masses, but to stop or delay high-speed rail reaching North America. Sadly, he succeeded. While the rest of the world moved forward, the US remains stuck in the past, only able to hand out EV subsidies instead of freeing people from car dependence.

Pro-Putin agents are certainly trolling Joe Biden working to put the GOP back in control a bunch and it'll probably be magnitudes worse next year.

I’m glad this unnamed person finally came forward … but it’s been THREE YEARS.

#Trump is on tape pressing Wayne County (Detroit) Michigan Republican officials to rescind their certification of 2020 election results.

Yes this is #insurrection and a violation of the oath of office. Trump is the first president to fight the transfer of power upon electoral loss.
