Hey so about that whole elections thing and the reality that republicans are already blocking newly elected democrats from being sworn in a full year before the midterms.

Column: Democratic Rep. Adelita S. Grijalva won her special election in Arizona more than two weeks ago, but House Republicans refuse to swear her in.

She believes it has to do with her stance on the investigation into Jeffrey Epstein and her identity.

Then at last night’s meeting he said that DSA has a race problem — which I will stipulate — and blamed it on the trans rights project. He explicitly said “Trans rights is keeping Black and Hispanic people out of DSA.” Boy do I have some MORE news for you about trans people.

I posted this photo on a local fishing group to talk about it and of course I have several men piping up to tell me, a woman, that I don’t know what I’m talking about and I’m wrong.

I’m told these aren’t the fish I am 200% confident they are because I spent 20 min observing them directly over them.

there’s a river near where I live that I fly fish often. I’m
In that water at least 1x/wk. Generally I pull 7-11” cutthroats out of it, but nothing bigger than that.

Today… I FOUND THE CHONKERS!

Picture of a river with slightly rippling on the surface with between 40-50 14” and larger cutthroat trout.

It really can't be said enough: the goal of the "anti-woke" movement was always to destroy social norms against bigotry. And it worked. And there's a whole lot of purportedly "left" thinkers & commentators who helped it -- indeed, it couldn't have been done without them.

They should feel bad.

Letitia James and James Comey have the best lawyers on earth and will almost certainly be fine. The fact that there’s a zillion stories about them and virtually none about NSPM-7 - which affects countless ordinary people - really says something about who the media writes for

Tensions between Venezuela and America soared following the attack, but Machado insisted to The Sunday Times that Trump was right to bomb the boat.

“I totally support his strategy,” Machado said. “And I’ve said on behalf of the Venezuelan people that we are very grateful. I think it is the right thing to do. It’s courageous. It’s visionary.”

News: Bari Weiss just sent a memo to staffers at CBS News asking them to produce a memo explaining "how you spend your working hours—and ideally, what you've made (or are making) that you're most proud of."

One CBS News staffer puts it like this to me: "We just got Elon Musked."

Gaza officials call for immediate war crimes probe

Gaza officials call for immediate war crimes probe Gaza’s Government Media Office has called for a war crimes probe to begin immediately in the wake of the announcement of the ceasefire. According to Al-Jazeera, they asked for "the international community, the United Nations, all international and legal organisations, and the International Criminal Court to hold the leaders of Israel accountable and to not grant them any political or legal immunity." They said they wanted: "The formation of an independent international committee to investigate war crimes and genocide and ensure the return and compensation of all displaced people."

The existence of even one Catholic convert dismantles the central lie of religion, that it is an innate characteristic from birth and therefore should have human rights awarded to it.

Same shit different era.

With SCOTUS set to legalize conversion therapy, I think it's important for states to get around this decision by implementing new legislation applying private rights of action to practitioners of conversion therapy by their victims with large damages and long statutes of limitations.

The Senate has just passed the military NDAA containing 2 anti-trans provisions: a surgery ban using federal funds (dependents too), and a sports ban on military academy spaces.

This will be the STARTING point for negotiations with the House, which has even worse provisions.

Only 20 Dems opposed.

I mean basically every “factual” statement they made is generally pulled out of thin air or just stenography for the apartheid state, but the commentary they love to inject into it is very telling.

Honestly I think it’s good to read the dumpster fire Israeli press as well. The ts utter contempt for the simple existence of Palestinians and full throated support (some times explicitly) is really illuminating.
