Dominion says Fox News destroyed evidence from Sean Hannity, Laura Ingraham and others, and asks court to issue sanctions in its $1.6 billion defamation lawsuit.
We have a wildly politicized RW police force in this country and it's a huge, huge problem.

President Biden held a town hall a few miles away from my house in July 2021. The crowd that showed up wasn’t very Biden-friendly at all. Look closely—see the blue dot holding the Biden/Harris sign in the middle of her MAGA neighbors? That’s me. I persisted. #introductions #hello #TwitterRefugee #firstpost
Caroline Cruz came out as bi when she was 13 and one of the things she talked about publicly was how she hated being judged on who her father was, adding 'I don't agree with anything he says'.
She appears to have attempted suicide and yet still the judging goes on.
Children are not mini-me's, this child is clearly her own person.
I don't do thoughts and prayers but I'm sending her every good wish possible that she's able to get the help and support she so clearly needs.
FL Man 75, kills neighbors 81, in laundry dispute - “Call the police, I just shot Henry and Ginger" https://www.dailykos.com/story/2022/12/6/2140292/-FL-Man-75-kills-neighbors-81-in-laundry-dispute-Call-the-police-I-just-shot-Henry-and-Ginger
I have officially signed up for my sixth social media platform. What the actual hell? I'm 70, and clearly not an 'Influencer'. I'm just trying to stay in contact with the people I've come to know on the bird.
Perhaps just posting my phone number on a bathroom wall next time...
It's not that John Lennon would have been 82 in 2022.
It's that he should have been.

Because I am a woman, I must always make unusual efforts to succeed, especially in a male dominated field.
If I fail, nobody will say "She doesn't have what it takes," they will say "Women don't have what it takes."
The #FBI has identified many people who incited violence at the U.S. Capitol on January 6, but it still needs your help to bring others to justice. If the man in this photo looks familiar, submit a tip at http://tips.fbi.gov or 1-800-CALL-FBI, and mention photo 515-AFO.

Charles Dickens remembering twitter
A provision in Georgia voting law only allows student IDs from state schools as a form of voter ID.
Voting rights experts say it disproportionately impacts student voters of color because most of Georgia’s HBCUs are private institutions.
Oklahoma abolishes college requirements for teachers in favor of a high school diploma and "distinguished qualifications" to be determined by local school boards.

“A Ukrainian marine biologist estimates that at least 50,000 Black Sea dolphins have been killed as a result of Russia’s ongoing invasion of Ukraine.” #ukraine #stoprussia #dolphin https://desdemonadespair.net/2022/12/tens-of-thousands-of-dead-dolphins-among-environmental-casualties-of-ukraine-war-when-the-black-sea-was-being-bombed-we-could-feel-it-too.html
From an article on technology and our collective rising anxieties. When discussing removing oneself from tech:
"Individual abstinence is 'not the solution, for the same reason that wearing a gas mask for two days a week outside isn’t the answer to pollution. It might, for a short period of time, keep certain effects at bay, but it’s not sustainable, and it doesn’t address the systemic issues.'"
I definitely recommend giving it a read.
Just notified that I was permanently suspended from Twitter. No further information available.
I appealed. Hope I can find more of my friends here on CS. Twitter handle was barbramon1.
Also hoping that I will someday be able to add my avatar and header. There's some technical issue I don't understand. Can't post any photos of any kind right now.😭
