Live streaming an execution? We really are running over our own feet in a race to return to 1800 when public executions in London drew gigantic crowds - when women couldn't vote, control our fertility, keep our earnings, buy property, keep our children after divorce, initiate divorce

Absolutely nothing will stop me 👇

Painfully, terrifyingly true

Subverting democracy isn't new to John Roberts, Brett Kavanaugh, or Amy Coney Barrett. All three were on George W. Bush's "Florida Recount Team," which lay the groundwork for stopping vote counting in Florida—and Bush v. Gore, the politically-motivated SCOTUS decision that gave Bush the election.

I know I've posted this many times - needs to flood the media until election day.

UK and US Big pharma have agreed to zero tariffs on drugs the UK exports to the US. In exchange, British patients will pay 25 % more for such drugs in the NHS. I hope I misunderstood this story, because it's one more outrage in the daily horror of trmp's America pharmaphorum.com/news/mps-see...

The War on Terror began 25 years ago today, when Congress passed the post-9/11 Authorization for Use of Military Force. Only one member of Congress had the courage and foresight to oppose this blank check for forever wars: Barbara Lee.

The amount of Amazon workers relying on SNAP and Medicaid has nearly tripled since 2020. — while Amazon’s annual profits soared by over 550%. It’s the same story everywhere: corporate profits are at record highs, while workers’ share of the economy is at a record low. We must unrig the system.

And apple bent whatever apples have instead of knees.

Major retraction: the Google worm did not turn but rolled over and played dead and renamed Lake Ontario at the whim of the degenerate in chief. Apple maps is still holding firm but I will check them every day. MapQuest has also retained sanity.

The countdown is on. 80 days to flip the House and Senate, make America affordable, protect healthcare, and send a message. No more excuses. No more sitting this out. Organize. Vote. Win. #BlueWaveIn80Days

It's an all hands on deck moment. Lawyers need to do their job to protect elections. Courts must do their job to ensure the law is followed. And, voters must make sure they have a plan to vote and turn out.

On the 91st anniversary of Social Security, these words from FDR are just as important today:

Gas prices are up 24.6% from a year ago and still significantly higher than they were before the Iran War. Meanwhile, the world's 8 biggest oil companies have made a $93B profit windfall in just the last three months. Big Oil is raking it in as the world burns — and we're paying for it.
