AOC is correct indeed.

We might need a different giphy to express further WTF-iness surprise for the subsequent matter of whale blood oozing in through the car windows during the five-hour drive. But I’m not good at picking out memes.

Reading this, you would think that the WSJ editorial board was against racism.

Yet, I think they did help create/inspire the monster that MAGA is today.

I think this opinion piece is too little, too late.

Preying on vulnerable women.

This trait appears to be so common in religious institutions.

How horrible.

This was eloquently stated and I’ll need to remember that last line. Thank you!

If I’m not mistaken, the attackers were using this URL for Reliable Recent News - which appears to be seized indeed:

This reference is found on page 50 of the following lawsuit by the United States of America versus “certain domains”:

Interesting how the malign actors are colloquially referred to as “Doppelganger”.

The recipients of these messages have something in common: they’re listed in federal campaign filings as having donated to Joe Biden or Kamala Harris using ActBlue, a ubiquitous online platform that makes it simple to contribute to a vast array of Democratic candidates and liberal causes. ActBlue, a non-profit, has become central to Democrats’ grassroots fundraising efforts. For years, Republicans struggled to emulate its success.

It would seem the oligarchs are threatened by people supporting left-wing causes.

Ergo, our contributions are helping.

So we should keep doing this.

This snippet was also notable:

Campaign finance researchers contacted by Mother Jones said it was notable that the Fair Election Fund claimed to have $5 million when it launched but does not appear to be raising money online. That suggests the likelihood of a large preexisting source of money.

FCC filings list a woman named Tori Sachs as an official with the group. That is the name of a political consultant in Michigan who has helped spearhead several dark money efforts in support of Republican candidates in that state. Sachs has worked for multiple organizations funded by the billionaire DeVos family, including by Betsy DeVos, who was Trump’s Education secretary and previously chaired the Michigan GOP.

The Republican party, folks.

Please vote.

A loser member of the union, made possible by voting for loser politicians.

Despite an acknowledgement of the state’s dismal maternal health outcomes and setting up a committee of “experts” to troubleshoot it, the need for new mothers to have healthcare in coverage was…

conveniently left out.

This was the best the pedophile party was able to accomplish.

By sharp contrast, not too far away in Arizona, Democrats enshrined abortion protections in the constitution.

Let’s all be sure to vote, folks.

Wow, this is amazing news! Arizona rocks!

This article makes for a great read - and the photograph of smiling politicians is beautiful too. You can tell they’re genuinely happy with their important accomplishment for women’s rights.

Two notable paragraphs:

It was after the state Supreme Court cleared the way for enforcement that Hobbs urged the state Legislature to take imminent action to undo the ban before it went into effect. Republican lawmakers, who hold a narrow majority in both chambers, derailed discussions about repealing the ban. At one point, the roadblocks resulted in chants of “Shame! Shame!” by outraged Democratic colleagues.

Emotions on the House floor and in the gallery ran high as House Democrats were able to garner the support of three Republicans to pass the repeal legislation two weeks later, sending the measure to the Senate for consideration. Two GOP senators joined with Democrats a week later to grant final approval.

Special thanks to the Democrats for making this work! Plus a few stragglers from the other side.

Stating the obvious, though we don’t need this reminder:

Both parties are not the same.

Well said!

I shouldn’t be surprised, but I’m still processing this.

Thank you for sharing that.

This is crazy and extremely moronic on her part.

And interesting how she saw fit to wear a yellow star on that occasion. Seemingly likening being banned from a social networking platform to being the victim of genocide.

Thank you for posting this.

Concerning the original case with Judge Caroline Wall in 2023, the following - not from this article - is rather revealing:

Identifying as a Constitutional Conservative, Judge Wall has openly conveyed her commitment to “Exercising justice through Judeo-Christian values,” as stated on her campaign page. However, her principles and ideology have faced close scrutiny in light of her ruling to dismiss the lawsuit regarding the Tulsa Race Massacre.

Many have raised concerns regarding her pledges to “ensure people’s rights to swift justice” and “protect the rights of victims and juries,” given that these promises do not seem to align with her decision to deny the survivors of the Tulsa Race Massacre their opportunity for a day in court.

While Judge Caroline Wall’s social media presence appears to be minimal, she does maintain a Twitter account under the handle @realJudgeWall. Notably, Wall follows only three individuals on Twitter, one of them being Donald Trump.

And despite the (then) three centenarians in the original 2023 case attending all hearings, the Judge Caroline Wall was very peculiar in how she conveyed the verdict:

Judge Caroline Wall is also facing scrutiny for the manner in which the dismissal was communicated, or rather, the lack thereof. Attorney Damario Solomon-Simmons revealed that he learned of the dismissal through the news and did not receive formal documentation until after the press conference.

Fast-forwarding to today, I guess it was just convenient in the latest developments to just quietly dismiss the appeal attempt. i.e. since a Trump-inspired judge with Judeo-Christian values saw fit to deny justice to survivors of that horrible attack.

That raw Judeo-Christian hatred is palpable. You can feel it.

What a disappointment.

That Space Karen is so weird. Very creepy.

Leon Musk Space Karen is gross and he’s probably upset over last night’s debate tragedy.

The CRU subsequently reached out to Levy and asked him to review the record, including Alex’s full medical history and Kaye’s obstetrics record. Levy could have upheld his previous position or written a more measured reappraisal. Instead, after reviewing all the evidence, he unequivocally rejected his original findings and testimony.

I want to take a moment to show appreciation for people who admit they were wrong. Especially in a matter of such great importance.

I hope these charges can be vacated soon.

And kudos to ProPublica for being so amazing. A non-profit news source, I see. I’m very impressed and I should be donating. Their articles are quite eye-opening and their involvement at re-examining this case was key.

Thank you for the improved title. It’s peculiar how they omit “Republican” when news stories feature politicians doing something horrible.

Past online messages from Gray were uncovered Friday, revealing the teen’s history of anti-LGBTQ+ bias. The Washington Post and CNN each reported that Gray had previously threatened a mass shooting against queer people specifically, posting an image of a family being supportive towards their trans daughter to a Discord server and writing, “I need to put an end to that. … im on the edge of a lgbtq massacre.”

Aside from blatant right-wing deceit, it’s shocking to see an adolescent think in this hateful way. And it sounds like his redneck father didn’t help matters. I feel for the victims of this horribly violent attack and their loved ones. This is so sad.

That explains the recent news.

Meanwhile, let’s all be sure to vote.
