I don’t think people are paying enough attention to the fact that the North Carolina court of appeals just ruled that 65,000 votes don’t count, and that the Republican Supreme Court candidate who lost actually won. This will be appealed, but make no mistake: they’re trying to steal this election.

β€œWhat these testimonies reveal was a systematic trend of sexual violence that was being used as a weapon of genocide.” Despite powerful testimony from Palestinian womens’ advocates, the West is silent, Fatima Bhutto writes.

Apathy is what kills democracy. People have to fight, phone calls, emails, join a protest, share reliable news and data, run for local office, donate time or if you have it money. Talk to your children and explain what is going on, they know something is up, have an age appropriate conversation!

They say, democracy dies in the dark. I call bullshit. It dies on broad daylight in the Oval Office, for all to see.

Loved this article, explained a lot to me about what motivates my fear of social situations and why after 3 hours of people I need an hour of silence.

Social introverts, thinking introverts, anxious introverts and restrained introverts all have positive qualities.

It is going to make the US look so good when Liz Cheney requests political asylum in Canada.

House partisans’ new report stating Liz Cheney shld be prosecuted for her role in the J6 investigation is meritless But It’s a pretext to investigate Cheney as Trump’s post made clear I’ll discuss in the 6pm et hr on @cnn.com @wolfblitzer321.bsky.social

Great article! New Zealand police are not generally armed and I believe that is a good thing! Having armed police at a tangi is an escalation. That is on police not the gangs!
