A proposed amendment that would formally enshrine access to #abortion in #Colorado's constitution is all but certain to appear on the November ballot after a coalition of reproductive rights advocates said they have collected the required number of signatures.

In fact, the groups collected 100,000 more signatures than necessary.

@DemocracyMattersALot Why the FUCK is Moscow Mike using OUR tax dollars to get a trip to the RAPIST house to interfere with Legislation?!?!?!

Jeff Yass just bought Trump. Here’s what he stands to gain.

Fascist billionaire, TikTok investor is about to help criminal dt add big dollars to his net worth. This is what oligarchy looks like.

TikTok billionaire Jeffrey Yass flew to Mar a Lago to discuss plans to dismantle America's public schools & siphon taxpayer funds into charters & religious centers.

This isn't not just about women's right but about the billionaire owning us. They want school vouchers, they want to privatize social security. They want to get rid of any medical insurance for anybody. They want to work you as slaves until you die and just go get another out of force pregnancy and keep the slave chain going so they can keep getting richer and richer and richer. It's a sickness.

The Goal has always been get the Golden Egg of public school funding.

Republicans have been defunding public education for decades. Then say, "See it doesn't work" It's a money grab for charter/voucher schools.

@Free_Press I wish that articles did not include photos of miscreants like Greene and trump. They turn my stomach.

Republicans don't mind debt forgiveness when it's THEIR debt. Trump declared Chapter 11 bankruptcy 6 times.

MTG was happy to get her $180K PPP loan forgiven.

But when middle-class and poor Americans need help paying for an education, suddenly debt relief is out of the question.

DeSantis “has signed a law that prevents cities or counties from creating protections for workers who labor in the state's often extreme and dangerous heat."

Is Florida trying to kill the immigrant farmworkers and other outdoor workers it hasn’t managed to scare away?

So much for Donald Trump choosing only the best people. In the hush money case, his lawyers tried to subpoena a Jeremy Rosenburg, who was an investigator who had files related to Michael Cohen. Except they served the wrong Jeremy Rosenburg.

Recently, Trump hatchet man Allan Weisselburg fired Alina Habba as his attorney and hired someone else. There is rampant speculation that she is under investigation for suborning perjury.

For the 7th time this year, MAGA extremists killed the GOP’s own bill by voting no on the “rule” to advance it. This time it was a renewal of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act—all because Trump wrongly claimed it was used against his campaign. The GOP is pure dysfunction.

"TV presenter Rachel Riley, who is #Jewish, noted on social media that national flags were not suggested for other capitals.

#Apple has told the BBC that the change - which followed a recent software update - was not intentional.

The issue will be remedied in a future software update, Apple says, but it is not known how rapidly this will happen.
...
'Showing double standards with respect to #Israel is a form of #antisemitism'" said Ms. Riley.

Numerous #Jan 6 defendants have confessed they now feel like idiots for being gullible enough to fall for ham-fisted lies about the 2020 election.

The House Speaker and Republican presidential nominee, meanwhile, are planning a press conference about "election integrity." #Trump #SpeakerJohnson

Today I talked to someone who said, Trump would win in November.

I asked, "Do you agree, Biden won in 2020?"

— "Yes."

"Okay. What specifically has Trump done since 2020, which has improved his chances of winning?"

— "Well… not much."

"Right", I said. "Then look at what Biden has done for ordinary people: Cheaper medicine, more jobs, the economy back on track. Will that make Trump win?"

(Very long pause)
— "You may have a point."

It is all a feeling — two questions, and reality sets in.

@dogzilla @AlliFlowers Contemporary Christianity in America is based on the exact opposite of their messiah's teachings.

Punishing people for doing what's right is a shitty way to run society.

Case-in-point: Liz Cheney lost her job for standing against Trump & she's still losing opportunities.

"A famed news photographer who worked for former [President Ford]...has resigned from the late president's foundation saying its executive committee rejected ... Liz Cheney for an award three times because members fear retribution from former President Donald Trump if he is reelected this year."

Keep your eyes on this story. Shadowy “online” Axos Bank and its biggest billionaire shareholder, Don Hankey, have together extended more than $500 million in financing for Trump’s benefit. They helped him out on loans and now a huge civil judgment. What will they get in return?
