There is a “no words” story coming out of McCurtain Co today involving county leaders discussing killing local journalists, flagrant racism & mocking a woman’s death from an arson. This is a community paper w/no online presence.

Over in Nebraska, the State Senate is busy combining the concepts of abortion, the Great Replacement theory, and misogyny -- stating that a 6 week abortion ban is necessary because white people are being replaced.
"We have not grown except those foreigners who have moved here or refugees who have been placed here… because we've killed 200,000 people."

Over the last two decades, Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas has reported on required financial disclosure forms that his family received rental income totaling hundreds of thousands of dollars from a firm called Ginger, Ltd., Partnership.
But that company — a Nebraska real estate firm launched in the 1980s by his wife and her relatives — has not existed since 2006. https://t.co/w03p8wgiLU

Philip Morris @InsidePMI continues paying billions of $ to Russia in taxes (e.g., $4.8 billion in 2020). Its CEO Olczak received an award in March from Russian federal tax service for being a "true friend of Russia".
Philip Morris announced it would leave the Russian market after the full-scale invasion began.
However, in February 2023 CEO Jacek Olczak @j_olczak said selling the Russian part of the business would result in a major loss to shareholders, so he would rather "keep this whole thing."
BREAKING NEWS: Yahoo News drops bombshell, reveals that Elon Musk's Twitter is now “amplifying” the Twitter accounts of Russian war criminal Vladimir Putin, his allies, and his closest associates.
Shockingly, Yahoo reports that “the findings suggest” that Twitter CEO Elon Musk is deliberately “lifting the restrictions designed to reduce the Russian state's social media reach, brought in after the invasion of Ukraine in February 2022.”
A former Twitter executive says that it was likely a change in Musk’s policy for those accounts to be amplified again, declaring that, “It would be exceedingly unlikely that this change would have happened accidentally, or without the knowledge and direction of the company.”
Please RT to expose Elon Musk — and consider joining the exodus to my pro-democracy Twitter alternative @TribelOfficial. The community on Tribel is growing quickly, and the vibe is already way better than the toxicity and Russian propaganda on Twitter!
Wow this is corrupt af.
Mississippi Gov Tate Reeves (R) used $10,000 in federal Head Start funds to print 7,500 copies of the children’s book written by his wife, Elee Reeves.
BREAKING: This morning Governor DeSantis officially signed into law the removal of Walt Disney’s special tax district.
This move isn't happening because DeSantis thinks it's best for the state, but instead it's best for his political ambitions after Disney decided to speak out against the bigoted laws that he supports, which harm the LGBTQ+ community.
Now instead of Disney taking care of 25,000-acres of land and 175 miles of roadways in Central Florida, it will be up to the state to do that.
What's best for DeSantis isn't what's best for Florida, and what's best for America isn't a Fascist form of government where corporations are penalized for speaking out for what they believe in.
Republicans want "Free Speech" only when it helps their own cause.
As republicans try to attack "Mayor Pete" and his Press Secretary in East Palestine, Ohio today, I've been looking up the Train regulations and Rules that Trump scrapped as president. Here they are:
- Trump gave the "ok" for Liquid Natural Gas to be transported by rail despite explosion risks
- Trump eliminated the requirement for two-person train crews on most freight trains.
- Trump delayed the implementation of a regulation requiring train operators be screened for sleep apnea.
- Trump repealed a regulation requiring trains carrying highly flammable liquids to have electronically controlled pneumatic brakes.
- Trump cancelled a proposed rule that would have required railroads conduct more frequent inspections of tracks used by high-speed passenger trains.
Don't pretend to actually care about all of the train wrecks recently if you can't come to the realization that Trump is at least partially to blame for many of them.

Just FYI, the same group that is financing the “He Gets Us” Jesus ads is also helping finance the lawsuit seeking to ban abortion medication nationwide
If Jesus were alive today, He'd say "hey don't spend all of those millions of dollars to run a Super Bowl ad about me. Instead, use that money to feed the poor and house the unhoused."
Sure, He gets Us.
But do we get Him?
