Now, nearly 60 years later, the GOP is attempting to "Make America Great Again" by installing a racist, misogynistic, xenophobic and universally intolerant dictator in the Oval Office. They threaten 'civil war' with fellow Americans, using the US military to subdue any resistance.
Someone needs to tell them: Hell no! We're not going back. #BlackLivesMatter #BlackHistoryIsUSHistory

The problem with statement is obvious: women didn’t pull the trigger. Choices were made that put Trump in danger, but they were not made by Kimberly Cheatle. Trump campaign does outdoor venues because they are cheap but security nightmares.
She didn’t make the choices.
Yet she was the one who paid for it.
Fuck the UN cybercrime treaty. With a rake. Aggressively.
It's not about cybercrime, it's about expanding spying on innocent people, forcing rights-respecting countries to help totalitarian regimes catch people who say/read things they don't like, & a whole host of other evil bullshit.
The infringements on civil rights are written as mandatory parts of the treaty. Human rights protections? Oh, those are optional; no one'll implement them.
Write your representatives.
I just found the Olympics site on NBC, and it looks like you can watch any/all events, either live or on replay. Isn't that nice.
I have been doing a deep dive on #Project2025 so that you don't have to. Not the surface stuff everyone is reporting on, but the deep in the weeds stuff, by government agency. This is my second posting of six.
Covers State, the Intelligence Community, the U.S. Agency for Global Media & The Corporation for Public Broadcasting, the Agency for International Development, and the Department of Agriculture.

The Kids Online Safety Act (KOSA) is before the Senate. On its face an effort to protect children by making the internet a safer place for them, here the Heritage Foundation tells us directly how they plan to misappropriate it into a weapon against LGBTQ+ content. #politics
Can't find the post that originally led me to this, but my god, so good. So absolutely the inside of my head this week.

Like the majority of you, I gave up arguing with MAGA in 2016.
I hardly think of them.
It sounds macabre, but here in 2024 I see them as ghosts. Menacing? Yes.
But they’re filled with defeat. They’re the Ideologically Dead and like misery, want company.
They’re small and they hate it. Like schools of frightened fish, they appear bigger swimming together with a mob of like-minded rotted souls.
VP Harris’ laughter shrinks their presence.
Where is the fear in her laughing-out-loud?
Well sure, who wants to go over all the sordid details of trumps sexual history... again. And yes, a woman who's had no children of her own shouldn't make decisions about your kids. That's best left to a misogynist felon who gazes uncomfortably at his daughter, has a history of hookers and multiple divorces.
