Baby Duck Lives Matter
Watch for "cops save baby ducks" stories in the next few months. Police departments reportedly release these stories after police brutality incidents. There are dozens of them.

Government monitoring women's menstrual cycles. What could go wrong?
#Florida #LGBTQ+ #CivilRights
@Coctaanatis And investigation headed by someone STILL employed at the court. IOW, the justices are the boss of her. Not a good way to investigate things.

@Jayd456 college grads and current students as “elite” when they themselves have Ivy League educations. It’s just ridiculous. Their goal is college only for the elite class, blue collar for the worker bees and everyone else can just kick rocks and flip burgers.
Not once when I was being paid a non livable wage did I ever make enough to save. It was too expensive to live when your education is limited by just a HS diploma. The gop has never had to live on top ramen and minimum wage.

From link:
'... Supreme Court justices often used personal email accounts for sensitive transmissions... Supreme Court employees also used printers that didn’t produce logs – or were able to print sensitive documents off-site without tracking – and “burn bags” meant to ensure the safe destruction of materials were left open and unattended in hallways.
“This has been going on for years,” one former employee said. "

She can't read or won't read?
Claims, in committee, that ONE school in IL got $5billion in covid funds to teach CRT.
And we wonder why the low info magas are always enraged. This woman is a threat to our civil peace.
Sixth paragraph has the part showing why she should not be in the US House.

Fucking Big Oil just keeps fucking everyone
In 2022, ExxonMobil posted the most profitable year of any Western oil company ever. Thanks to booming energy prices, Exxon made $56 billion in profit last year—equivalent to $6.3 million each hour, per Reuters. The mind-boggling earnings of Western oil giants, which are projected to have been ~$200 billion collectively last year, have also made them a political target for the Biden adminstration, which has blamed them for high gas prices.

@Madken65 Big Oil seems to have figured out they can save millions on donations to the GOP by just jacking up prices in hopes voters blame the DEMS.
Ka-Ching! Making billions more in profits and spending less on donations to loser polls.
@FactsDynamo Nothing like conditioning a generation to consider books as suspect or even taboo to trigger the next Dark Ages.
I hate suspecting I may have been correct, years ago, when I said the GOP and global authoritarians are working to set up a new feudal system where corporations and duchies and corporate officers the new ruling hierarchy. Wars will be between corporate interests. Already we see that national boundaries and laws are becoming meaningless.
@JV3MJD Could NOT find this anywhere on Woodward's twitter feed, so likely a fake meme. Such things do not help our credibility on public social media forums. Just saying. Funny, but not real and probably not helpful?

Some of the information was classified at the Top Secret/SCI level, and laid out, among other things, capabilities and collection methods used by the National Security Agency (NSA), according to investigators. If ever exposed, the files 'could be expected to cause exceptionally grave damage to the national security of the United States,' prosecutors said in a plea agreement unsealed over the weekend

Have doctors become 'woke' enough to stop paying GOP pols to give them tax cuts and keep their legislative nosed out of the practice of medicine?
AMA & GOP doctors in congress are on the outs, FINALLY!
