In Twitter withdrawal. I support Democrats, though too many are spineless. Current Republicans are unprecedented threats to our country. I love music, animals, nature, but am mostly here for the politics. #Resist💙

White House Officials: Sir, we're getting crushed. The polls are grim. The early voting data is even worse. What can we do to win over the American people in this final week? Trump: Charge Comey again!

60 people have now died in ICE custody since Trump's return to office. Our country is set to spend $268 BILLION on mass deportations and detentions through the end of Trump's term. Instead of death and cruelty, imagine what we could have invested that money in instead?

Josh Hawley is pressuring FDA Commissioner Marty Makary to change the FDA’s approach to mifepristone based on a study—without peer review—from the Ethics & Public Policy Center where Leonard Leo is on the board. (Hawley & Leo are connected via the Leo-led Teneo Network, which Hawley co-founded.) 1/

Leonard Leo ally Tim Busch has called SCOTUS the “Leo Court,” explaining that Trump “radically changed” the direction of SCOTUS by appointing (anti-abortion) justices “shepherded” by Leo, who he says is “one of the big supporters of the Napa Institute” (founded by Busch). 1/

If you see the word mifepristone in the news, think Leonard Leo. This article is good, but from 2024. Needs an update. This is all to get mifepristone cases before the Leonard Leo Catholic Supreme Court, to concoct legal theory to ban it, according to Catholic theology. 19thnews.org/2024/01/leon...

19thnews.orgDark money is flowing to groups trying to limit medication abortion. Leonard Leo is again at the center.Tax filings shed light on the conservative activist's role in the network of groups challenging FDA regulation of mifepristone in a case set to go before the Supreme Court.

Woah. It appears that the anti-abortion “Ethics and Public Policy Center”—whose board includes Catholic Right SCOTUS “puppet master” Leonard Leo—is spearheading the push to strip the American Bar Association of its accreditation authority. 1/

nightmare in Brazil but this in Serbia

The long-serving strongman leader of Serbia, Aleksandar Vucic, has conceded defeat in an election that pitted him and his right-wing party against a diverse student-led opposition movement that spent two years protesting his government.

I wonder how many fascist fanboys lost their shirts betting on Bolsonaro in the “prediction markets.”

Jenny Cohn@jennycohn.bsky.social

How pathetic. This pro-Bolsonaro Brazilian official relied on the Thiel-backed prediction market (Polymarket) to suggest that Flavio Bolsonaro had won his debate against President Lulu (who just defeated Bolsonaro in the election.) Because Polymarjet is “real” info. 🙄 1/ x.com/delegadorama...

More evidence of an alliance between the “Tech Bros” & the “Catholic Right”. On 7/1/24, Palantir co-founder Joe Lonsdale used his blog to thank Catholic hardliner Leonard Leo for his “advice & support” re: a SCOTUS brief that Lonsdale’s Cicero Institute had filed to help criminalize homelessness. 1/

Brazilians beat back fascism by... voting harder? Organized offline and online around an election, using a mix of strategies aimed at both turnout and persuasion. Showed up in large numbers, and despite some very wealthy interests arrayed against them, succeeded? Huh. Pretty neat how that works.

For the Americans the war is just an element of a grift; they are, sadly, not negotiators in any sense, just men seeking to make more money from the bloodshed their actions enable.

The great Oleksandra Matviichuk is absolutely right to draw attention to the horrible humanitarian crisis in Oleshky. All Putin, Witkoff, and Kushner can do is invert and traduce the meaning of “humanitarianism,” in the best traditions of Russian propaganda.

Oleksandra Matviichuk@avalaina.bsky.social

I have read dozens of outraged posts because the US special envoy Witkoff called Putin a "humanist." But no one is writing about the fact that the American negotiators are simply not doing their job. Let me explain.
