Sherrod Brown has a tough race ahead of him if the three bozos running for the GOP nomination don't implode on each other.

Instead of complaining about a "two-tiered justice system" investigating disproven Biden allegations, Republicans on the Oversight Committee should look at a real two-tiered system: unfair treatment of people of color.

I have started sending out cold mails to professors in #socialwork seeking a graduate research opportunity/position in their respective labs. if you are or know of a professor who is #hiring and wish to take masters student for Social Work, I'm opened for recommendations to reach out to them.

I'm not country specific. Kindly boost post if you see this. Hopefully, I can get lucky.

There are certain liberals that roll their eyes when I talk about trans issues.

This cis woman was killed because someone thought she was trans. Failing to fight to defend trans people has consequences for everyone. Even if you don't think trans people deserve your protection, you should fight for them anyway.

I do not like the turnip legs.

@kcarruthers I keep seeing people insisting there's no purpose in voting because "they're both the same" - must be nice not to be or care about any of the groups where one party is actively trying to remove their access to healthcare, education, marriage, or even just plain existence. Sure, neither party achieves post-capitalist leftist perfection, but only one has directly hurting people as its stated goal.

Meme comes back to haunt fake elector Meshawn Maddock

On May 16, 2023, Meshawn Maddock a fake elector from Michigan who thought it would be a good idea to sign her name to a phony document in an attempt to overthrow democracy in the United States, tweeted an animated GIF of a human skeleton tapping its finger with impatience.

The caption below the GIF read, "Dems waiting for my arrest"

Yesterday, Maddock was one of 15 fake electors who were arrested and charged with eight felonies: two counts of election law forgery; two counts of forgery; and one count each of uttering and publishing, conspiracy to commit forgery, conspiracy to commit election law forgery and conspiracy to commit forgery. Conspiracy to commit forgery and conspiracy to commit uttering and publishing are punishable by up to 14 years in prison.

Does there exist one individual who was forced into the #MeToo club that did NOT KNOW Trump was a rapist?

But it’s nice that we have judicial clarification & permission to use the label.

Now can we do #Kavanaugh?
