Dallas Mayor Eric Johnson is flipping to the Republican Party
Texas Democratic party, "He wasn't honest with his constituents, and knew he would lose to a Democrat if he flipped before the election," & "and we are grateful that he can no longer tarnish the brand and values of the Texas Democratic Party."

@sfphotogirl Last year I had to pay for my flu shot, despite being on the same insurance that covered it for the last 30 years. I’m waiting another 2 weeks for flu and Covid so Medicare can handle them both. @smooz

Thus, Republicans are 609 times more violent than antifa and BLM combined, at least if we go by police injuries per protest.
So if BLM is unacceptably violent, and Republicans are 609 times more violent than BLM, what should we as a nation do about/to Republicans?
And just like that, you steered the conversation back to the topic they were desperate to avoid so much that they humiliated themselves with a "but what about" argument they got from Cold War communists.

This is the dude being lauded by #MattGaetz for advocating for change through force, i.e. violence. #GOPTraitors #MattGaetz #EliCrane

Consider this:
If it's legal to buy psychedelic mushrooms from head shops that are registered as churches since the purchase is labelled as a tithe...
...those mushrooms (and anything else bought in a similar manner) are tax deductible.
An unintended consequence of the Religious Freedom Restoration Act of 1993 that apparently Republicans haven't considered as they built it into a Christian Get-Out-Of-Jail-Free card.

‼️ BIG NEWS today as the Biden-Harris Administration announces the creation of an office of Gun Violence Prevention after calls from myself and House Democrats to help end this epidemic.
This move will help save lives in #NEOhio. Gun violence happens daily, the work to end it should be daily too.
https://www.thedailybeast.com/slow-motion-coup-florida-gopers-are-reportedly-tiring-of-desantis As his rivals tirelessly traverse the country to campaign in battleground states, Trump has skipped the first Republican debate, announced he will skip the second, and mostly opted to stay hiding in his basement at his private club in Bedminster, New Jersey, ranting on Truth Social and fighting criminal charges #TrumpIndictments #CriminaldefendantTrump
Absolutely.
A favorite example, although not sure how to spell it: "kroichtz" with the "ch" being gutteral, of course. It means "The sound one's dad makes when he stands up after sitting too long or falling asleep in his chair."
@Huntn00 Just USB-C.
"Jessica Burgess, a Nebraska mother accused of helping her teenage daughter use pills to end her pregnancy, was sentenced on Friday to two years in prison.
Burgess and her daughter, Celeste Burgess, stand accused of working together to end Celeste Burgess’s pregnancy in April 2022."
This is where we are as a nation in 2023. A mother providing her daughter with legally purchased birth control pills was put in prison. The punishments ran concurrent, but the judge decided to make the abortion punishment consecutive, to double the time she'll be in prison.

@verdantsquare Now there’s an understatement if I ever heard one. @Americanist4u
ROMANIA ESTABLISHES A NO FLY ZONE
Romania is to establish a no fly zone to allow it to shoot down anything approaching its border - including Russian drones.
The border zone will be cleared of aircraft permanently to allow air defences to function without hinderance. Quite an active approach but what can you expect when Romania has been hit by Russian drones?
