Jim Jordan built his career on not seeing evil where it existed, from the Ohio State locker rooms to the Trump White House.

Now, as head of the House Inquisition on the Weaponization of the Federal Government, Jimmy is furthering his career by seeing evil where it doesn't exist.

It probably also wouldn't cost much to do a clean-energy version of this kind of fuckery. Why don't green groups do it? https://www.nytimes.com/2023/01/11/climate/climate-propane-influence-campaign.html

Benjamin Netanyahu is clearly demonstrating why the deep mixing of religion (regardless of which religion) and politics is lethal to democracies and minority rights, and in fact the destruction of democracy is often the very reason that such a course is pushed by fascist politicians. This doesn't apply only to Israel, but to the entire planet, including notably here in the U.S. as well.

This Saturday 14/1 I will join activists in Lützerath to defend the village and stop the coalmine. Join us at 12.00 to protect life, and put people over profit!

The science is clear, the most affected people are clear: no more fossil fuels!
#LütziBleibt #EndCoal

People.

Please please please please please stop conflating a government shutdown with the debt limit.

Not the same

An absolute MUST READ for any journalist covering DeSantis and other cynical hate preachers, by @adamjohnsonNYC.

"We cannot combat a coordinated hate campaign if we cannot name it. And we cannot name it if our media makes this framework unintelligible."

Is this yet another Chris Licht shit job to suck up to the right nut jobs? Because this report, and its caption, are beyond ignorant Garland assigned a competent US attorney to review. Opening criminal inquiry requires actual facts and probable cause, you median jackals.

A climate scientist was just fired for staging a climate protest at a climate change conference. This is outrageous. Scientific institutions need to stop sabotaging themselves. Doing research alone is not enough to save the planet. Scientists must be activists!

The issue is not that Musk lost $180 billion so quickly.
The issue is he still has $130 billion.
NO ONE should have that much money.
Tax billionaires.

First he guts rooftop solar incentives so you have until April 14th to have your solar installation submitted to your #utility for connection. That means it has to be installed and inspected. His $700,000 received from PG&E has been paid back in spades. #gavinnewsom rewards them for burning down the state and leaves us with their failing infrastructure. Then he slashes spending on #climatechange by $6B during the week we are inundated with floods created by global warming. Perfect.

Trump Org CFO Weisselberg is being sentenced to 5 months jail for massive tax fraud, of which he'll serve ~100 days on Rikers.

Kalief Browder suffered in Rikers for 700 days in solitary confinement on the false accusation he stole a backpack, then died by suicide.

Two Americas. And a reminder that a system cannot fail those it was never meant to protect, and that a system will always protect those it was never meant to fail.

I just donated to Katie Porter’s Senate campaign! We used to live in her district in SoCal. I was sad, when we moved, that I couldn’t keep voting for her. Now I can! #katieporter #california Join me: https://secure.actblue.com/donate/kp4s-sms-launch-ca-st-20230110

There is no “justice” system.

Today, Trump Org CFO Weisselberg is being sentenced to five months jail.

On a five month sentence, he'll serve approximately 100 days.

As a public defender in Manhattan, I represented a man who was sentenced to 3-6 years (and will serve 1500+ days) for stealing a jacket.

Right now the United States House of Representatives is governed by a secret document between McCarthy and a couple dozen other members WHO TRIED TO OVERTURN THE LAST PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION
