Former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows is being sued by his publisher for contradicting his book’s claim about the 2020 election. https://apnews.com/article/c76972d8f51df9ad74bc7797584c7436

Friends. I’m seeking advice for my niece.

She’s being asked to take on new responsibilities at her job and wants to be properly compensated. They’re asking her to do Microsoft Access work. Her role isn’t technical and has nothing to do with it. (She’s also a Black woman who doesn’t want to get walked over because of it.)

Does anyone have any advice or info about what compensation looks like for that kind of work? Thanks in advance!

Haven’t made a fundraising ask all month. Meanwhile my Corp funded opponent loaned himself $1M😐

Y’all—we can’t afford to fall behind. $5 or $500, can we earn 100 quick donors tonight to catch up?

Let’s win this election with 100% people funding. Donate: https://secure.actblue.com/donate/qasimforcongress-social

To be clear, Trump has already been found liable for fraud. That is not the issue in this hearing. The issue is, as I understand it, how much money he owes to people he defrauded. So he should be trying to minimize damage, not proudly advertising how little he cared about accuracy.

@charliejane Tapley really gives herself away when she says that Witter is "fighting [Moms for Liberty] actively", as if she thinks that's somehow criminal.

I know they *wish* it were criminal to disagree with them, but it isn't *yet*. You'd better believe librarians and other freedom-loving people are fighting Moms for Liberty — we can see they want to make it illegal to fight them, and we're not going to let that happen!

Bullies always wish their victims would just roll over.

You couldn't make this up: an antisemite accidentally commits a hate crime against a group of antisemites. In Indianapolis, a woman thought a Radical Hebrew Israelite school – a group that is antisemitic, anti-LGBTQ, misogynistic, etc. – was an "Israel school" (i.e., Jewish school) so she drove her car into it.

Just today's reminder that Jewish people and facilities are indeed being targeted. (And even if another group hates me, I don't want their kids hurt.)

Consider this your periodic reminder that Reagan thought having an educated populace was a bad thing, and that’s why higher education is so fucking expensive in the US.

It wasn’t always this way. We could—and should—demand better.

⬆️ #Iran does NOT want the #MiddleEast crisis resolved in a peaceful manner.

That's why calls for #ceaseFire and calls for a political or diplomatic solution are so vacuous.

Like #Nazi, full & #final destruction of #Jews & #Israel is the stated goal of Iran's #theocracy and #Hezbollah + allied militant groups.

These are two #religions and #cultures on a collision course, and #Russia is an opportunist that is using this crisis now to further its own revanchist efforts in #Ukraine.

Given how Trump has essentially admitted to cooking the books in loan valuations on his Aberdeenshire golf course while on trial for fraud in the US, will the Scottish Government now be opening a full investigation and asking the NYAG to co-operate with the Scottish Crown Office and Procurator Fiscal Service?

If there were to be any proof that God does not exist, it would be that Trump put his hand on a Bible and he did not burst into flames.

"Non, je ne regrette rien"

Particularly when talking about campus politics, media treat "#Jewish" as if it were synonymous with "pro-Israel"--despite polling that finds 38% of US Jews under 40 agreeing that “#Israel is an apartheid state,” and 33% believing it is committing genocide against #Palestinians.

"When my grandmother arrived here, after the Holocaust, the Jewish Agency promised her a house [..] They then took her to Ajami, in Jaffa, to a beautiful beach house. She saw that on the table there were still the dishes of the Arabs who lived there and who had been kicked out. So she went back to the agency and said, take me back to the tent, I will never do to anyone else what was done to me [..] How could we have become what we opposed?"

By all accounts the recording was terrible in terms of quality/audibility.

#Trump cont’d bashing #Forbes. He was all over the place, but among the things he said were:
Forbes is, 1) owned by China, 2) owned by Russia, 3) is out of business or 4) all of the above.

#Engoron mostly backed off attempts trying to reign trump’s testimony in, he let NYAG #Wallace deal w/ Trump how he wanted.
