In NYT op-ed, former Judge Michael Luttig believes a Trump Jan 6 indictment is "almost certain" and slams what he says is the GOP's "spineless support" of Trump https://t.co/5pbYBFtdni

[Jimmy Wales @jimmy_wales]

What Wikipedia did: we stood strong for our principles and fought to the Supreme Court of Turkey and won. This is what it means to treat freedom of expression as a principle rather than a slogan.

You can't be pro-life and ignore gun violence.

BOOM! Ted Lieu just DESTROYED Jim Jordan for threatening to investigate Alvin Bragg for bringing charges against Trump:

“Prosecutors, including DA Bragg, owe you nothing. In fact, it is illegal for you and Judiciary GOP to interfere in an ongoing…criminal trial.”

Crucially, Ted Lieu here is insinuating Jim Jordan and the GOP judiciary Committee would commit criminal obstruction of justice.

Thank you Rep. Lieu for calling it like it is!

[p @pcurtain]

These were all lies.
May this begin the realization.

[CALL TO ACTIVISM @CalltoActivism]

Ahaha. I’m sure Lauren Boebert would HATE if you RTed her HUGE blunder today - when she criticized something that happened while Trump was president.

These parallels should chill us all to the bone

Tax CHURCHES.

[Michael Cleere @mikecleere]

Pastor Joel Osteen pays himself an annual salary of $54,000,000 from his church profits. He had a custom garage built with 20 car stalls for each of his custom vehicles. His favorite is a Ferrari 458 Italia that cost $270,000. He lives in a 70,000 sq ft mansion.
In the New Testament, four different times Jesus tells his followers to always pay their taxes. Why is it in the United States that churches don’t have to pay taxes? The IRS figures if all churches paid their fair share of 15% taxes that it would total over $2 trillion a year.
More than enough to solve the homelessness in this country, since it looks like these Pastors would rather spend your donations on New Cars instead of feeding the hungry.

Same. The cross-disciplinary application of systems thinking inspired me to get into software development.

[Sarah Drasner @sarah_edo]

I really enjoyed the book Thinking in Systems. So many insights that can be applied across so many fields.

Couldn’t help but relate some of it to software eng, such as reactivity, even though that’s not was she was referring to. Interconnection -> signal, etc

Just now reading this... Highly recommended:

Losing sucks I’m sure. I’ve never lost but I’m sure it does, loser. White supremacy just doesnt win races like it did in 1921.

Enjoy never being in congress.

Another US election, another "Land doesn't vote, people do" style map showing the election results.

[Victor Shi @Victorshi2020]

5 days out. Here’s what’s happening: turnout among young Democrats in the places that matter are skyrocketing while turnout among young Republicans are plummeting. Don’t let anyone tell you young people aren’t showing up. We are — and we will continue to do so until Election Day.

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

The CEO of PPG, a Fortune 500 paint company, was asked if he would lower prices if costs come down. His response:

“This is the new price and if you don't like it, please don't place purchase orders.”

Corporations are using inflation as cover to price gouge the people.
