No indication yet from major media that the FBI has any interest whatsoever in investigating this apparent attempted assassination of a well-known judge openly targeted on social media by the far-right activist—Harmeet Dhillon—currently calling herself Assistant Attorney General of the United States

Beachfront home of South Carolina judge, ex-senator burned to ground, injuring 3

Ex-senator Arnold Goodstein, along with two additional people, were rescued by several neighbors and paramedics from a marshy, remote area behind the home after jumping from the fist floor.

SOUTH CAROLINA… “Judge Goodstein was walking on the beach when the fire started. Her husband, Arnie, was in the house with children and perhaps grandchildren. The family had to escape by jumping from a window or balcony...” www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article...

‼️ I added screenshots of this thoughtful, yet frightening analysis by Rubia Garcia of ICE’s plan to monitor social media 24/7. Long, but worth the read.

This is one of the most corrupt states in the US. We are a breeding ground for greedy MAGA bootlickers eager to gain power. Add in a 20+ year GOP supermajority and they feel invincible. From overturning laws approved by voters to actively suppressing dissent, it’s been the P2025 training ground.

I am having a double mastectomy and DIEP flap reconstruction. It’s about a 10 hour surgery with a pretty lengthy recovery. I hope things went well with your surgery!

Four days to go until my big surgery! My brain has shifted to include random thoughts like “my last normal Saturday” and stuff like that. Yeah…I’m fine. Everything is fine…😬

So Nigel Max Edge (not a drag queen, immigrant, or transgender) the arrested and accused NC boat shooter has a rather prolific FB profile that includes a ton of lawsuits he has filed against the govt. It appears he is a veteran with severe PTSD and really wild claims www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

Man charged after marina boat shooting in North Carolina leaves 3 dead and several injured

Nigel Max Edge, 40, was charged with three counts of first-degree murder and five counts of attempted murder on Sunday morning.

So Sinclair is going to refuse to air Kimmel. We need to get them in the pocketbook! KDNL is our local Sinclair/ABC station in St Louis. Here is a list of their advertisers. I encourage everyone to find their local Sinclair station advertisers and call to express your view on their fascism!
