Over 2,000 alumni from Vivek’s all-boys catholic high school in Cincinnati have signed and circulated a petition demanding that he pull the ad and issue a public apology for “ignoring the moral responsibilities” of his Jesuit education. I think he’s pretty cooked.

A new survey of 1,000 American adults found that the strongest supporters of transgender sports bans are not the people who admire women most: they are the people who hold the most hostile views about women. www.helenwebberley.com/news/transge...

between serbia, brazil, and hopefully november 3, a good reminder: voting works it’s not the end, there’s always work to be done after the vote, but if you want to beat the motherfuckers and keep them out of power: vote your asses off

BRENNAN: The DOJ lawsuit demands the Alaska result not be certified if voters are confused. The confusion is defined as Sen. Sullivan not winning. BLANCHE: That's not what it says BRENNAN: I'm quoting from it. You are telling them not to certify it. What right does the federal govt have?

I hope this gets you moving the way it got me moving this morning, up and pumped, on Team Fight for this day. A good dose of Governor JB Pritzker this a.m. making sense of who the teams really are.

Everything that comes out of Donald Trump's mouth is lies, lies, and more lies.

this answer about what issues matter to him from a college student waiting in line at the Trump rally wasn't what the Fox correspondent expected to hear. She moved on with swiftness

It's a new week, Bluesky. Trust no poll. Trust no pundit. Vote early if you can. Vote in person if you can.

"After weighing these factors, Paulk has decided for the first time in his life to cast a ballot for a Democrat -- Ossoff. He doesn't agree with him on all issues -- notably, abortion -- but it's Ossoff's help in getting federal aid after Helene wreaked havoc on Paulk's grape crop that won his vote"

As I first reported on Monday, Katie Zacharia is not a lawyer and has never been licensed to practice law. The WSJ reports that she took the California Bar Exam but failed. Nevertheless, Zacharia appeared on media programs for YEARS and repeatedly called herself a lawyer. Here's a super cut:

This is a great, heartfelt post from a guy I truly admire. I think it speaks to what many of us are feeling.

I need to share something personal with you that I don’t talk about much: I often struggle with a feeling of helplessness. I look around and see so much that is plainly wrong. But over the long run, the truth has a way of winning. And telling the truth is more powerful than we think. (link below)

Don't do it, Alberta. The maga americans will rape your precious resources from you. And then you'll be left ... destroyed.

No doubt this has occurred to other bystanders as well, but it would seem that a handful of billionaires dropping $150 million into a single state's election in an attempt to defeat a wealth-tax initiative just about makes the entire case for a wealth-tax initiative.

Examples are really helpful thank you. More more more examples please, and details on the gate, like does it have wooden posts under stucco, or is it 100% metal?

Major update: A full throttled assault on voting rights this November is beginning. From the Supreme Court to Trump's allies, this is urgent and I have the latest right now. Meanwhile, Trump ends enforcement of racial desegregation in schools. I need your help to spread this update everywhere.

i strongly suspect the reason that they are hiding this is not because cops are moonlighting for ICE contractors off duty but because many of them are working for ICE contractors *while clocked in*

LAPD cops working for ICE contractors off duty — while the department fights to keep its moonlighting records hidden. That is the accusation now being leveled directly at LAPD leadership after a judge ordered the records turned over.

Macklemore: "I didn't need 10 shows from Ed. I needed 2. Two chances to stand in front of 90,000 people and say the words that somehow became too dangerous to say. Free Palestine." Bless you Macklemore for being on the right side of history.

Order this book for Labor Day : Becoming Madam Secretary by Stephanie Dray, historical fiction about Frances Perkins, FDR's Secretary of Labor and the "mother of Social Security", her pivotal role in the American labor movement, shaped by her witness of the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire

Now would be a great time for a 10 episode, 20 hour prestige series about the ten years between 1916 and 1926, covering the establishment of the 8-hr work day & 5-day work week, in the US. Each episode would be one year & the middle episode should be entirely devoted to the Battle of Blair Mountain.
