Quite a story.

Lots of people use hard drugs but not those with security clearances and billions in federal contracts, which he would now lose if our laws applied to very wealthy people. #elonmusk

Reiterating this important point:

These were so-called "financial insecurity" voters.

They could afford to take off work for this trip. Could afford travel costs, lodging, dining, and drinks. Could afford specially printed T-shirts and flags. Could afford cameras, military cosplay accessories, weapons, and ammunition.

Their votes were not about financial insecurity to begin with.

Once again for the people in back:

1) The 2024 presidential election is like none other before it. The stakes are dire and will be worst for less privileged and left-leaning folks.

2) Not voting at all or voting for a candidate other than Biden is a vote for Trump. Even folks who don't like Biden should vote for him, and even if they must hold their noses while doing so.

and I'll add:

3) If Bibi's best buddy Trump wins, expect the carnage in Gaza to be turned up to 11.

I have seen two news stories in the past 6 months about Jackson, Mississippi.

1. The white state government is removing the locally-elected judiciary of the majority black city and replacing it with unelected, white-appointed courts.

2. Hundreds of bodies have been found buried behind the jail, many of people never charged with a crime who were reported by families as “missing”.

These are fundamentally the same story.

A report from the ground that COVID is spreading rapidly in Gaza. Gaza is a public health crisis. We need a ceasefire now, and world leaders to stop denying that the pandemic is over.

"In the lab, #COVID is a Level 3 biohazard. In schools, it's no big deal. I don't think you can reconcile those two statements."

Thanks to autocorrect, I just told someone to take a long walk off a short penis.

I hope they take it up. Let’s find out once and for all if no one, including presidents, is above the law from some corrupt justices

Day 12 of shingles and it still sucks. Get your fucking shingles vaccine people.

New Year. Same question: How is Clarence Thomas still on the Supreme Court?

Via Steward Beckham:

There were bomb threats at multiple state capital complexes today and a guy shooting off his gun in the Colorado Supreme Court yesterday. The Colorado court ruled against the likely GOP presidential nominee who told the Proud Boys to "stand back and stand by."

Rep.Mark Green: The greatest domestic threat to the national security is Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas

Other Republicans: *clap*

Criticizing capitalism while participating in it is not hypocritical because our individual actions within the capitalist system are a means of survival within the existing system, not an endorsement of it. Advocating for systemic change doesn't negate the need to navigate the current structure for basic needs, considering it coercively shapes people's lives.
