“A group of #LGBTQ+ veterans who were kicked out of the military because of their sexual orientation filed a federal civil rights suit on Tuesday over the Defense Department's failure to grant them honorable discharges or remove biased language specifying their sexuality from their service records following the repeal of "don't ask, don't tell" in 2010.”

Nice job, #ohio. I'm sending big love to everyone who worked to protect democracy there.

Whew, #WorldScoutJamboree #scouts have all been #evacuated... #TyphoonKhanun (at this moment) forecast to have 60mph winds at the site, driving in directly from open ocean.

This refers to the Fulton County Grand Jury. Yikes.

Via Anna Bower:

Most folks don’t realize this now, but worth mentioning: The names of all the grand jurors will be on the indictment, because it’s required by state law.

If I was on that grand jury, I wouldn’t want to step foot near the courthouse again, especially if my name is public. #FaniWillis #Trump

The Cruel #florida migrants' provision.
What is it? Giving someone a ride! #crueltyisthepoint

" imposes a staggering hardship on Plaintiffs, other Floridians, and travelers to Florida,

who now face criminal penalties for visiting their families,
doing their jobs,
seeking medical care,
and engaging in other everyday activities,”

Big Pharma is suing the government to stop Medicare from negotiating prescription drug prices.
The provision would save taxpayers
$100,000,000,000 over the next decade.
We can't let Big Pharma win. Please share this
