I just read the Department of Justice’s letter to Jim Jordan, the current Chair of the House Judiciary Committee and a complete idiot. Usually to see a grown man get spanked this hard you have to put in your credit card number.

How can a president who violated his oath to uphold the Constitution, incite a violent murderous coup & plot to overthrow a presidential election to install his dictatorship even be allowed to run for office? https://www.huffpost.com/entry/donald-trump-2024-january-6_n_64bfd558e4b038c60ccbc4d7 #trumpforlifeinprison #TrumpTraitorToDemocracy Trump's 2024 Rivals Say He Should Get A Pass For Jan. 6 Insurrection

BREAKING: With more than 700,000 signatures submitted, the #Ohio Secretary of State announced that a constitutional amendment to protect reproductive freedom has enough valid signatures to qualify for the ballot this fall.

We have a right to #abortion care and we will vote for it.

Mass #dieoff of #penguins off the coast of #Uruguay... "Nearly 2,000 dead penguins were found in ten days on the eastern coasts of Uruguay. The cause of this carnage, which remains unexplained, does not seem to be avian flu, local authorities said....90% are young specimens that arrive without fat reserves and with an empty stomach." #oceans #marine https://www.rtbf.be/article/pres-de-2000-manchots-retrouves-morts-en-10-jours-sur-les-cotes-de-luruguay-11231147

Boom: Ohio just confirmed there WILL be a constitutional amendment on the ballot this November to codify abortion rights.

Huge victory for abortion rights organizers, and a potential game changer for reproductive rights in Ohio.

There is a but, though (1/2). https://www.dispatch.com/story/news/politics/2023/07/25/will-ohio-abortion-rights-measure-make-the-november-ballot/70437268007/

This is why, for all its flaws, we have tenure in #Academia.

Tenure is meant to protect freedom of thought, freedom of speech, freedom of knowledge.

It is meant to be an institutionalised system to protect democratic debate and to speak, without fear, in the public interest.

Tenure is the hill.

Study: COVID deaths fell 84% in UK cancer patients after vaccine rollout https://www.cidrap.umn.edu/covid-19/study-covid-deaths-fell-84-uk-cancer-patients-after-vaccine-rollout

Black women were denied sovereignty over their own bodies. They were robbed of the milk in their own breasts to nurse the infants of the master’s family — even if that meant the mother’s child had to wait. That’s but one of the great many cruel, shameful realities that slaves had to endure.

Florida’s brazen racists are exceedingly bold in moves to normalize their hate. Their targets have been through this shit before. We’re not new to this rodeo, and we’re not the clowns.

@GatekeepKen America, funding the world while we tell our own people HELL NO you can’t have free college, while we are sinking into debt we’ll never be able to pay back, currently $32B. Not only that the Congress had been robbing Medicare since they day it was created. They will tell you that has to go too, then standby for the meltdown unless the climate gets us first. 😳
