Next time Ohio politicians start lecturing you about the importance of fiscal responsibility be sure to remind them that taxpayers just shelled out roughly 20 million dollars to pay for a special election that simply maintained the same voting rights we've had since 1912. #OH

We have to stop Republicans from continuing to cheat their way into unchecked power. That starts with #Ohio on August 8th. Let’s shut this undemocratic power grab down. #VoteNo @swingleft

Yep, that's right: DC pays MORE in federal taxes than EIGHTEEN STATES, yet it has NO say in what that money is spent on. NO TAXATION WITHOUT REPRESENTATION: Make DC a state!

It reminds me of a far funnier and more astute observation from years ago (a tweet I can no longer find) that Democrats are slowly plotting political moves on a chessboard while the Republicans knock the whole thing over and declare that we’re playing football…

Unconscionable. Iran-Contra, the El Mozote massacre…not only is Adams a terrible choice based on past performance, using him 4 pre-election positioning on “bipartisanship” will win exactly 0 conservative voters while alienating 1,000s of progressive ones in critical races.

Third (and *last*) ruling is Moore v. Harper.

For a 6-3 majority (Thomas, Alito, and Gorsuch dissenting), Chief Justice Roberts reaches the merits and *rejects* the "independent state legislature" theory:

They...

⚫live longer,

⚫are more economically self-sufficient,
⚫live in better neighborhoods,
⚫are less likely to be incarcerated.

Ohio prisons allowed incarcerated people to receive Hitler’s “Mein Kampf” but not books about programming computers because those “pose a threat to the rehabilitation of inmates” and prison security

Outrageous conduct, some while investigators were observing. How can a system built on so much violence and entitlement be reformed?

[Radley Balko @radleybalko]

DOJ just released the report from its two-year investigation of the Minneapolis police department.

Here's a thread of notable excerpts.

This first one happened *while a DOJ investigator was on a ride-along.*

There is enough food for everyone on the planet. Pretending like America’s
budget is busting because starving people are getting too much free food, and not because of America’s bloated war budget, is obscene.

This is what we mean when we talk about systemic racism, which plays into and points to other social determinants of health.

[The Associated Press @AP]

Experts say that health disparities among racial groups can't be explained by genetics alone. The reasons are systemic and can be traced to inequities that follow Black Americans from cradle to grave. https://t.co/8orTNuhsWG
