I guess it’s just a coincidence that Elon Musk comes out of the woodwork before every major election and gets handed a government position with major consequences for the American people. 🤔

🧵The rape kit was invented by a woman, named after a man and paid for by Playboy magazine. Her name was Marty Goddard. In Chicago, early 1970s, about 16,000 women were being raped in a year. When women went to the police they weren’t believed.

the horrific cornell gang rape case has me thinking about emma sulkowicz who alleged she was raped as a student at columbia in 2014 and never got any justice. it has me thinking about the physical and mental weight young women are forced to carry while their safety is subsumed by male potential.

Something remarkable is happening: James Talarico is running an expansively pro-immigrant campaign in Texas, a state Trump won by 14 points, speaking in Biblical terms about our duty to "the stranger." And it's resonating. That's seismic. 1/ (new piece) newrepublic.com/article/2160...

In Texas, Something Seismic Is Happening—and It’s All Trump’s Fault

Thanks to the economy and ICE, Trump has lost Texas Latinos. And James Talarico is developing a humane pro-immigrant message that’s resonating—even in this ultra-Trumpy state.

Pentagon investigators have discovered that flawed intelligence, outdated imagery and an overreliance on AI contributed to a missile strike that killed 123 children in Minab. www.bloomberg.com/graphics/202...

Within hours of a Feb. 28 missile attack that hit an Iranian school, some Pentagon personnel knew the US was responsible, according to officials involved in an internal investigation of the incident. That probe found what the officials now describe as a cascade of preventable failures.
Two Tomahawk missiles struck the Shajarah Tayyebeh Elementary School building and its grounds that Saturday, killing more than 150 people, including at least 123 children. The strikes devastated the two-story school, which was built on land that was part of a military compound in the southern Iranian town of Minab. In terms of child casualties, it's the deadliest American military targeting error of the 21st century.

Despite the SCOTUS ruling halting Donald’s EO on mail-in ballots from taking effect, don’t assume the USPS won’t still find ways to disrupt ballot delivery. There’s no way a Blanche DOJ would ever take legal action against “mistakes” being made resulting in the “loss” or disqualification of ballots.

News headline with a picture of the Supreme Court columns at the bottom:
Supreme Court denies emergency review of USPS mail-in ballot rule, leaving nationwide block in place.

Exactly this. What he did was not only deplorable, it was treasonous. He and his election-denying enablers should all be thrown in prison. Hopefully the midterms will be a brutal awakening for the MAGA cult and we can finally start to see accountability.

The biggest mistake in American history was not dragging Trump off to prison within 24 hours of Jan 6th. We'll all pay for that for the rest of our lives.

This is noteworthy. Again, no compelling evidence supports the COVID lab leak theory. The furin cleavage site present in SARS-CoV2 was perceived as unusual, fueling the lab leak theory. But now we understand that other bat betacoronaviruses have it. 🧪 www.chemistryworld.com/news/does-th...
