No DMs. At about age nine realized that the world was full of ignorant, irrational adults. Life is about striving to learn what you don’t know and incorporating new facts. Independent thinker. 🇺🇦 Stand with Ukraine. Stand for small “d” democracy.

Trump’s past 24 hours of desperation:

— posts Sen. Tom Cotton’s cellphone number and tells people to call him over daylight saving time
— again tries to scam voters with fraudulent promises $5,000 checks to every adult citizen if Republicans win the House and Senate
— says if Democrats win it will be “a 1929 disaster” and an economic depression, essentially admitting he believes his term will lead to a Great Depression
— tells a Mobile, Alabama rally to close their eyes and “pretend I’m on the ballot”
— says he’s giving $100 checks to 20 million seniors

What does it say about a person who seemingly disregards the gang rape of a woman by 7 men because he doesn't like the prosecutor? If you're not condemning it, you're condoning it. Trump is an adjudicated rapist who is protecting pedophiles. 31 days. Say, no more.

With this monopolized media empire comes not just size but unprecedented power. The power to throw workers under the bus. The power to price-gouge because consumers have few alternatives. The power to decide which stories get told, but more importantly, which stories DON'T get told.

Not so sure Republicans want the Dobbs decision back in the spotlight like this as the Midterms approach…
A screenshot of a CBS News post on X with a black background and white text. At the top left is the CBS News logo and verified account name, “CBS News @CBSNews,” with “X.com” in the upper-right corner.

The post reads: “Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito said the 2022 Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization case, which overturned Roe v. Wade, required ‘courage’ from all of the justices in the majority.

‘We didn’t know it when we produced the draft that was leaked, but it required courage to go ahead with that because of the implications,’ he said.

He told CBS News’ @JanCBS that he lost friends over the Dobbs decision. And he called physical threats and harassment ‘quite disturbing’ and ‘a danger for the courts.’”

Below the text is a large video still from the CBS News interview showing Justice Samuel Alito seated indoors. He is wearing a dark suit, white shirt, and dark red tie, and appears to be speaking while looking slightly to his left. A small CBS News logo appears in the upper-left corner of the video frame.

Americans are relearning the lesson we learned during the Gilded Age of the late 1890s, when robber barons ran the government and the economy for their own benefit: Oligarchy is incompatible with the common good. I'm hopeful we'll respond with a new progressive movement.
