When a news outlet writes of January 6, “The political parties refuse to agree to a shared history of the event”—as the AP did here—but not that Trump’s supporters are lying about an event we all watched happen live, how is that not going along with Trump’s lies

The Bayeux Tapestry, a 70 meter long medieval masterpiece created by artisan women, is actually an embroidery in crewel (wool yarn) on a linen ground. Depicting the Norman conquest of England, it was made in the 11th century & will be displayed at the British Museum this year. #WomensArt

They're seeing 1) how the world reacts 2) how Congress reacts 3) if there is any formidable legal or military opposition 4) if they can normalize it like they tried to do with the Gaza genocide (I don't think that succeeded, and their attempts to normalize Epstein are succeeding even less)

Weird that other Nation’s leaders can be held accountable for their crimes in American Courts but thanks to SCOTUS and John Roberts, America’s Republicans can’t be held accountable for a GD thing including violating the Constitution.

Can't help but feel like this is one of the reasons why the Constitution says If a dude in office does an insurrection, don't let that motherfucker hold office again
Bc clearly they cannot be trusted with power & control over the levers of government, & they do not care about democratic constraints

POTUS is a convicted felon and was indicted for abusing power to overthrow a legal election, and we have Supreme Court justices who openly accept lavish gifts from people with interests before the court and its really weird to me that most people are…at most casually annoyed?

A growing body of research indicates that Texas's restrictive abortion bans have negatively impacted the health and lives of Texas women and babies in multiple ways. Across the board, pregnancy outcomes and complications have worsened.

The ACA isn't just "health care for people who don't have a conventional employer." It also disallows something that was incredibly common 20 years ago, which I fear is getting lost to generational memory: insurance companies could deny you health care for essentially any previous health problem.
