@ihorace@JamesSurowiecki@_A_varice What I find wild about all of this is how many armchair scientists with zero education suddenly think they know more than the scientists. I cackle often at this stupid time in our history. What an absolute travesty of stupidity.

Whoa. Lev Parnas reveals how Giuliani pressured Ukrainian officials to fabricate dirt on Joe Biden in a series of quid pro quos and laundered the fake information through Fox 'News' and Republican members of Congress in an attempt to get Trump re-elected. https://t.co/57HQu85kOH

Unfortunately, it has to be said – slavery wasn't a jobs program that taught beneficial skills. It was literally dehumanizing and subjugated people as property because they lacked any rights or freedoms.

Facts matter: here are some important facts worth knowing. Blue states subsidize red states. Liberal/progressive policies of inclusion & fairness are more profitable than republican tax cuts for the rich, discrimination or taking benefits from the poor. Who knew? Now you do.
New documents show that the CIA’s MKULTRA program targeted indigenous and Black children in medical torture “experiments.” Horrific.

If the defendant doesn’t go to prison for at least five to ten years, it would be a travesty. The prosecutors have him dead to rights, in more ways than we can count.
The Trump audio:
"See as president I could have declassified it. Now I can't, you know, but this is still a secret."
"Now we have a problem," a staffer responds.
AUSA Michael Thakur just filed a notice of appearance in the Mar-a-Lago case. He's worked on numerous national security cases: US v. Fuentes (foreign agent), US v. Sotis (export controls), and US v. Baptiste (terrorism). This is an incredibly deep team of natsec prosecutors.
BREAKING: with the support of every Republican member of Congress, the House just voted to send Lauren Boebert's resolution to impeach President Biden over his immigration policies to the Judiciary Committee.
The GOP conference is totally controlled by the MAGA far-right. To impeach a president over immigration policies is clearly unconstitutional. It will backfire on Republicans in swing district states.
No one ever talks about the breadth of trauma and how it just freaking obliterates you. We pretend the pandemic--a collective trauma-- never happened when 1.3M people just died and disappeared and we never got to say goodbye or mourn properly. We need to address the suffering.

I was trained to use assault-style firearms in the Navy and can tell you that these weapons of war have absolutely no place in our communities. As a mom of four, I’ll never back down from protecting our kids from senseless gun violence.
We asked the Postal Service for any costs of renovations to Postmaster General Louis DeJoy’s office suites.
Last year, USPS sent us documents — but every single thing related to renovation costs was redacted.
