I applaud the International Longshoremen’s Association and the United States Maritime Alliance for coming together to reopen the East Coast and Gulf ports and ensure the availability of critical supplies for Hurricane Helene recovery and rebuilding.

Collective bargaining works.

Holy hell. Trump withheld disaster relief to California wildfire victims because California is more Democratic than Republican. He only released it when an aide was able to show him that Orange County has more GOP voters than all of Iowa.

I don’t get shocked when I see Trump do grotesque things. But when I saw Trump in Georgia pulling a PR stunt at a factory, which was pretty much destroyed by Hurricane Helene, using bricks from the rubble as props, it made me furious. Everyone should be.

#Trump & his allies tried to twist the arms of legislators to appoint #FakeElectors that could be *counted* by #Congress. (#JackSmith includes bonkers new details about this scheme, including the fact that one potential participant referred to its ringleaders as being like characters in the infamous Star Wars cantina, otherwise known as the most “wretched hive of scum & villainy” in the galaxy.)

The moment the media chickened out and allowed the term “misinformation” to replace “lie” is the moment everything real in human communication ended.

I asked the teacher
if she had seen the study
which found that young,
healthy individuals
with mild cases of Covid
displayed cognitive deficits,
and the teacher explained
that her district’s superintendent
keeps assuring her
that the problem
is kids using social media.

Moderator: Can you say who won the 2020 election?

JD Vance: Kamala Harris wants to fact-check people on Facebook! That counts as censorship!

That was the exchange of the night. JD Vance cannot say who won the 2020 election, and tried to change the subject to complaining about facts when confronted.

Trump tried to overthrow the government.

Vance: No he didn't, because Kamala Harris wants to fact check people on Facebook.

This debate is completely insane.

The first amendment is not a right to knowingly lie.

I live in Québec. You have a new born child, you have a one year paid leave.

The mother or the father can take the paid leave, 6 months each, 3 months for one, 9 for the other, and so on.
