I attended the trial of Renea Gamble, the Alabama woman arrested for wearing a penis costume to a No Kings protest. Like the viral video of her arrest, it was both funny and enraging. New from me @theintercept.com:

The Short and Ridiculous Trial of a Protester Arrested in an Inflatable Penis Costume
An Alabama cop who confronted the No Kings protester claimed she posed a risk to public safety. The judge was unconvinced.

Reading the FT front page story about a Chinese company introducing a battery with a 1500 km range & six minute recharging time & about how two Chinese companies own more than half of the global EV battery market & I am struck by the different realities the US and China occupy. We’ve lost the plot.

Pennsylvania's auditor general, a Republican, audited 210,000+ new voter registrations under Gov. Shapiro's new motor voter system to see if noncitizens were registering to vote. They found one. One. And that was because a PennDOT staffer erred. It was fixed before the driver left the office.

Pennsylvania's motor-voter system effectively screens non-citizens from voter registration • Pennsylvania Capital-Star
The audit also revealed problems with PennDOT’s data security protocols and recommended tighter internal controls.

So Amazon should lose the public subsidies, right? Right?? Why do we keep letting Amazon steamroll us and then get stuck paying for it ourselves? It's almost as if Amazon lies to us.

Comment from me: Russia and Iran remain allies, Russia most likely supplies drones and intelligence information to Iran. Thus, Russia is working directly against the United States.
Lifting sanctions on Russian oil only encourages

And there goes Trump and his Republicans that control Congress — throwing Putin a lifeline while Americans pay the price: "The Russian economy can only enter one of two scenarios: long-term decline or shock. Either way, they will continue on a downslope to a financial disaster," he added.

There are 2 storylines here: - The one that paints a picture of despair. - The one that paints a picture of action. One says, "This is what's happening. There's nothing we can do about it." The other, "This is what's happening. Unless we stop it." Knowledge is power IF we create action from it.

I'm a "young" boomer. Boomers fucked everything up. We can't have nice things. The youngs know that. Part of why they feel less compelled to protest is to punish us for that and also because we're lame. Been at this a while. I see them coming around more. Everybody needs to chill with the whining.
