I know it makes me a dopey old square, but I honestly do believe the mere act of taking a call like this should get any legislator bounced in shame from public life forever.

Voters aren't in charge. Elected officials are. I really wish there was a concrete plan from our duly elected officials to explain how they're combatting this shit as opposed to

This is the disinfo nightmare that would have dominated any other election, yet you probably didn't even hear about it. Because every Elon tweet gets 200k likes yet fades immediately into the slipstream because they're all the same tripe at 11.

Update: Still stalled at $1200. The collection agency is not budging, the lowest they will go is still $6300. I am looking into bankruptcy now, but am unsure how that will affect our ability to move afterward. Meanwhile, the need for gas & groceries continues. (Those links will be in the comments)

When a lower court blocked Alabama Republicans' congressional gerrymander in 2022 for violating Black voters' rights, the Supreme Court said 9 months from Election Day was too close & a new map had to wait until 2024. We're 6.5 weeks from Election Day 2024 & the GOP is attempting all these changes:

Protip: for any cis people who don’t already know, the phrase “this person” is an extremely obvious way transhobes often degender and/or misgender trans people. you should generally not use that phrasing. especially if you are criticizing someone who happens to be trans.

A guy holding a handgun with an oil filter screwed on as a shitty DIY suppressor/ silencer.

The oil filter is labeled with “this person”. The gun is labeled with “degenerate tranny faggot”.

also and I feel like I buried the lede here: it calls for the people who CREATE queer media to be imprisoned. That'd be people like me. Or any other queer creator you love. Any queen who's been on drag race. Chappel Roan. Janelle Monae. Anyone who's made a piece of queer media. Imprisoned.

"Surprise"? Why? Failed assassination attempts don't normally boost a presidential campaign - esp when the shooter is 1 of your own supporters. Here's something all the many Biden doomers should consider. TIPP, the most accurate pollster in 2020, has had Biden a few percent ahead or tied all year.

He is also weighing whether to call for a constitutional amendment to eliminate broad immunity for presidents and other constitutional officeholders, the people said, speaking on the condition or anonymity to discuss private deliberations.
The announcement would mark a major shift for Biden, a former chair of the Senate Judiciary Committee, who has long resisted

Many political journalists who style themselves as smart, savvy insiders who are cool and impartial observers are actually simple-minded rubes who have not yet mastered object permanence. I think they're obsessed with horserace coverage because they believe it'll actually have horsies!

Many people smarter than me have talked about the racial dynamic on this website, which imo is not an issue that is in conflict with the also existing transphobia on this website. So I’m just going to get a little iced coffee and keep it moving.

This is a great example of how the Cooperative is member-driven. In light of discussions on Sticker Mule, some members wrote about how they like Sticker Ninja for being pro-Palestine. That endorsement was all it took for us on Benefits to reach out for a partnership. Less than 24 hours later: BOOM.
