@filicana It’s truly wild that they get all of that from a bad dad joke on the dias.

@filicana They both have nurtured resentment which is the prolonged, active holding onto anger and bitterness stemming from perceived unfairness, mistreatment, or unaddressed conflict. It’s sustained by rumination, confirmation bias, & a desire for validation, which damages mental health.

@NoSpinZoneX @filicana Oh my God. I came on here to get information about something in Iran and you’re still talking about the ccsd search?! It’s been a year.

Lenny, they flushed a fucking turd that kept on popping up again. Frazee was 100% right. The trustees were very kind in not saying a word.

Just for reference…. Here’s Mon Mothma’s speech in ANDOR Season 2.

Replace “Palpatine” and “Ghorman” and you’d pretty much capture exactly what’s going on now in the world.

"Fellow senators, friends, colleagues, allies, adversaries, I stand before you this morning with a heavy heart. I stand this morning with a difficult message. I believe we are in crisis. The distance between what is said and what is known to be true has become an abyss. Of all the things at risk, the loss of an objective reality is perhaps the most dangerous.

The death of truth is the ultimate victory of evil. When truth leaves us, when we let it slip away, when it is ripped form our hands, we become vulnerable to the appetite of whatever monster screams the loudest. This chamber’s hold on the truth was finally lost on the Ghorman plaza. What took place yesterday, what happened yesterday on Ghorman was unprovoked genocide. Yes, genocide. And that truth has been exiled from this chamber. And the monster screaming the loudest, the monster we helped create, the monster who will come for us all soon enough, is Emperor Palpatine."

Not sure of the obsession with John Anzalone. He was hired by Jara as asst. supt. in 8/21, had Barton as a direct supervisor, and applied to be Camas supt in 11/21, 3 months later. He went from principal in August to superintendent of a district with 1 comprehensive high school.

They're coming for your kids' schools next.

Why? Because all their kids go to $50,000/year private schools. They don't give a shit about your kids.

BREAKING -- Trump RAISES prescription drug costs by as much as 4200%.

He just reversed all the cost caps Biden negotiated for anyone on Medicare or Medicaid, over 120 MILLION Americans.

He's pro Big Pharma -- and pro Big Insurance.

He doesn't care about you. It was all LIES.

Trump is going to remove weapons from your household. You were told it was the other guy, but he Lied! https://t.co/JaBKeiDeEn

I asked a high school teacher friend about the biggest change in teens over the past decade. His answer was interesting. He said whereas the 'default state' of teenage psychology used to be boredom, now it was anxiety.

Let me explain what's going to happen in early voting so that when it happens I can brag about it

Heavily Republican rural counties don't do mail voting because of conspiracy theories, but they get out incredibly early for early in person voting because the voters in those areas are abnormally old. This is why there is a huge discrepancy between early voting partisanship in Pennsylvania and Arizona: Arizona has much broader early in person voting and Pennsylvania early voting is entirely mail ballots. Therefore, rural Republican Arizonans vote early in person but rural Republican Pennsylvanians do not vote early because they don't trust mail voting

Because of this rural counties in Georgia, Nevada, and Arizona got out to vote insanely early and rapidly got a massive turnout lead on more Democratic urban counties. This has led Republicans to believe they're running away with the election because early voters in these states are abnormally white, Republican, and rural so far.

The problem is the rural counties are going to hit their limit simply because there aren't enough voters there to maintain their leads forever. In Nevada, heavily Republican Nye County has already had 26% of its 2020 voters turn in their ballots, while Clark County is only at 17%. This is not a real turnout advantage: It's a demographic artifact caused by old Republicans showing up right at the beginning of the early voting period while younger urban Democrats haven't voted yet. Right now, only 5% of voters in Nevada have been 18-29 while 48% of voters are over 65. For perspective, only 26% of the Nevada electorate in 2020 was over 65, so they are currently almost double their share of the electorate 4 years ago. The final demographics of Nevada voters will look nothing like this.

What's going to happen over the next two weeks is this: Nevada will run out of 73 year old rural Republicans and the Republican percentage of early voters will begin to decline. The electorate will get younger, more urban, and less Republican and the advantage the GOP delusionally believes they currently have will erode before election day. Since Nevada's automatic registration registers people as independents by default - and younger voters are therefore being registered as independent at an abnormal rate - the independent vote in Nevada this year will also break to the Democrats at an abnormally high rate

If Trump loses Nevada, this will be the source of insane Republican conspiracy theories because they won't be smart enough to understand how they had such a big "lead" in Nevada's early voting and still lost, just like they couldn't understand how they had such big "leads" in 2020 and lost then, either

[John Adams @JohnAdamsGA]

It would appear Scott Pressler & Co were stealing and manufacturing people's identities to fraudently register at least 1,500 fake Amish voters for Trump. (60% of the 2,500 applications from 8/15). Despicable.

[Victor Shi @Victorshi2020]

WOW. A high school in Ohio organized a march to the polls with the high school band for first-time voters who are 18 or about to turn 18. Every high school around the country should do this too. So amazing.

For the 8th year in a row, led by our Native sisters the Women of Reno Tahoe marched downtown to demand our rights be respected. This year we came not just with our signs and hope, but with our votes.
Early voting has begun in Nevada!

The former president, who turned 100 this month, achieved his goal thanks to Georgia's early voting that began Tuesday.

The reason the Constitution does not prevent a felon from seeking the Presidency is because the framers didn't think you'd be crazy enough to vote for one.
