I’m a single dad. My kids are awesome. Two boys. Damaged, like all kids of divorce. I know, I am one.
But they are whole people. Their mom and I don’t like each other but we work together. They see it.
I’m also a divorce lawyer. I see shit every day. Single parents can make it.
@Andrew_Moser@ChefGruel It is. I use AI a lot to help with this. Both the daily schedules and the various dietary restrictions/preferences get to be a lot when you have a bunch of kids and busy parents.
The past few days, I got my hands on thousands of new transcripts and hundreds of recordings, thanks to leads from @SKDoubleDub33 and @iamlisalogan .
You've heard that the DSA is proposing structural reforms to America, including abolishing the Senate and imposing term limits.
What you not have heard is - there is an operational plan to put it all into action. If the Democratic Party sweeps 2026, then DSA will become "foot soldiers" in constant clashes with the administration to cross a "red line" or invoke a "doomsday scenario" - meaning, President Trump invokes the Insurrection Act, probably sometime in 2027.
Then, a lot of coordinated responses kick off, including delegitimizing the federal government itself and handing that legitimacy to Democratic governors. 2028 then becomes a vote on whether to keep America governance as-is or to burn it all down to appease a "young and brown" demographic.
The mysterious group who's been coordinating 50501, Indivisible, and coordinating the NoKings protests is called "United Democracy Alliance" and their intellectual leader is Erica Chenoweth who came up with the 3.5% rule of nonviolent regime change.
Patience. I know I've hyped this more than anything else. It's genuinely the biggest discovery I've had. This is an enormous archive. This is only the beginning.
This is not even real… the Attorney General of Virginia just handed every registrar in the state a 10 page playbook on how to treat federal election law enforcement like the enemy, and he did it with the election less than three weeks out and early voting already running.
Read what they are being told. Registrars can deny ordinary DOJ election monitors access to polling places, officials should ask federal agents to leave and call local police, and they are supposed to write down badge numbers, weapons, vehicles and movements while collecting complaints from voters who say the feds frighten them. Then on pages 8 and 9 they get coached to call attorneys about fighting federal subpoenas for election materials… and on page 3, almost like a footnote, Virginia has eliminated the ability to challenge a voter's qualifications at the polling place.
So let me ask you. If your elections are clean, why are you building a file on the people checking them? Why do you take away the one Election Day safeguard citizens had to question an ineligible voter, and in the same breath train your clerks to stonewall federal investigators? Honest people open the doors and say come look. People with something to hide lawyer up before anyone has even knocked.
And keep in mind who is running this. Jay Jones is the same guy whose own texts about a Republican colleague getting two bullets to the head blew up last year, and Virginia elected him Attorney General anyway. Now he wants your registrars treating federal agents as the threat while the bulletin itself does not identify one specific unlawful federal operation planned in Virginia. Not one. They are preparing for a fight nobody announced.
I have watched this movie in Colorado for six years… when the people who run the elections spend more energy protecting the process from scrutiny than protecting your vote, you already know the answer to the question. That is the rot, a state election machine that sees oversight as an attack and treats the citizen voter as an afterthought.
Make no mistake, federal law enforcement has real authority to enforce federal election law, and a state AG does not get to wish that away because he does not like who is asking.
@realDonaldTrump, send the monitors to Virginia anyway and make Jay Jones explain on camera why he wants them locked out.
@nycdivorcelaw@pisforpickme My law partner and I have a disagreement on this question. As a longtime family law practitioner, I think Pre-Nups are woefully underutilized, even for people who don’t have anything. She disagrees, & thinks it’s overly pessimistic for a marrying couple to negotiate and sign one.
@TheLaurenChen First of all, not all doctors are smart people. So it’s entirely plausible that some doctors truly believe this.
Second, and more likely, these shrews are making it all up to support their political opinion, and they know it will be echoed and taken as gospel in certain circles.
@Matchaddic14428 @capitalmatrix73 @Acyn Given that in a universal healthcare system, those doctors will effectively become government employees and not be paid as well…why do you think Canada has fewer doctors?
@julz_zee@AlexiLalas Did you go blind at halftime, or…?
If this game ended 1-0, or 2-1, maybe you can make that argument.
But 3-0? At some point, the team making that many errors isn’t just “unlucky.” And the team scoring 3 goals isn’t just “lucky.”
@SenatorSlotkin …as a sitting Congressman, are you under the impression that you can do this by passing a bill? Because if so, that demonstrates an utterly disqualifying knowledge of the way the law works in this country.
@ShifterOfGears@NotesForTheFree@JayinKyiv I mean, I invite you to go convince people with your really inviting and convincing message of, “Hey you dumb fucks, you’re voting wrong.”
That always seems to work great.
@pau40314@ProxyContext@Noxtradm@_jokeocracy@grok You fucking moron…the evidence is not accessible because the person who can talk definitively about consent is DEAD. What is it about this that escapes you?
@MLSist@MaxBretosSports I have not been a Berhalter fan.
But man, it is awfully hard to think of another player who in recent memory balls out so conspicuously the way he does for the MNT. That goal, and that ball to Richards…goddamn, man.
