The White Shaman mural has been silent for millennia — but thanks to the work of archaeologist Carolyn Boyd, it can begin to speak again.

Not only should brooks and others shut up. But Ossoff is the best example in the country of a Democrat playing dominance politics and using it to control the whole terms of his race.

1) Putin doesn't have diesel to spare. 2) Diesel is cover for lifting sanctions. 3) Putin's statement sounds like he's offering an Iran escape hatch, which I've been predicting. 4) Half of the MASSIVE bribes Putin is offering now don't exist. 5) But he does mention security coop -- Kash.

I think this analysis is correct. Reports out of Russia for the last six weeks show huge diesel shortages and long lines of cars trying to get it. Russia doesn't have the diesel Trump says he's buying for them. This is all for another purpose, which is psy ops.

It is a hell of a lot easier to do a general strike and shut a country down if you have guaranteed health care whether or not you have a job or can afford it. I think one reason they deny Medicare for All so much is that the GOP knows fear of loss of health care keeps people from rising up.

The narrative that Americans are divided on abortion is a lie to hide just how undemocratic bans are—and convince lawmakers to take weaker stances on abortion. ~70% of Deep South voters oppose abortion bans. I wrote about the implications of this:

Plus, Deep South voters are the least likely to say that abortion should never be permitted.

I am aware of the history of 20th century fascism and grew up around Holocaust survivors. When fascism returns, they said, expect indifference or outright cowardice from 90% of your friends, neighbors and colleagues. AND YET, it still shocks me to see this groveling cowardice in real time.

Columbo as a fish out of water character in a foreign country is one of those “seemed like a good idea at the time” things. The English episode was awful. Plus 70’s stereotypes of foreigners don’t age well. Columbo in SoCal is all that’s worth watching.

As a longtime Chicago journalist I want to say that if you fail to put Hastert's serial CHILD SEX ABUSE in the headlines about his death, you are doing it wrong. So far, this is the only headline I've seen that has been crystal clear about what the Illinois pol did to kids. Credit @reuters.com.

The far right power grab is global and entirely organized, moneyed & interconnected. No matter where it happens, every pillar of free society that falls has been and will continue to be everyone’s problem. It’s a domino effect.

A STAR IS BORN premiered #OTD in 1954. Judy Garland was nominated for an Oscar, but lost to Grace Kelly for THE COUNTRY GIRL. "The biggest robbery since Brink’s," Groucho Marx called it. George Cukor's lavish musical is on Tubi 'til Sept 30 if you'd like to marvel at Judy (and James Mason's) work.

"The first step to defeating fascism in this country is to throw the fascists out of office and thereby remove the instruments of power they use to oppress people like the Haitian community in Springfield. But there is a longer, harder struggle ahead, that cannot be solved with power alone."

Jamie Raskin calls out the shitty ads as a crime (this was cited by CNN and other stories). This is the kind of Xitter post that I beg of @raskin.house.gov or other MoCs to cross-post over here -- not least bc more people over here are likely to magnify it.

Rep. Jamie Raskin

@RepRaskin
This may be felony criminal theft and conversion of government property for political campaign purposes. 18 U.S.C. § 1641. It is a Hatch Act violation for any government employees who worked on it or used government resources to make it. It is blatantly unethical under numerous federal ethics provisions proscribing the use of government resources for political campaigns.

It looks and sounds like a political spot and includes a disclaimer stating that it is paid for by the U.S. government.
