Oklahoma: Supt. Ryan Walters Orders Public Schools to Teach the Bible - MAGAs do not care about Law or the constitution. OK state superintendent directed all public schools to teach his religion. https://dianeravitch.net/2024/06/27/oklahoma-supt-ryan-walters-orders-public-schools-to-teach-the-bible/ via @dianeravitch #ChurchAndState

I'm going nuts with all the posts I'm seeing about Biden and Gaza.

Yes, I hate what's happening in Gaza.
Yes, Biden is president.
No, there's nothing he can legally do to stop it. He can encourage Bibi to stop slaughtering people - and he is. He can delay shipments of weapons - and he is. He can't violate US law or signed treaties. He's not a dictator, here or in Israel. He can't just do whatever he wants.

And, seriously - how would ANY of this be better with Trump?!?!?

Tonight, for the first time ever, the President of the United States will share the stage with a convicted felon, rapist, terrorist, traitor and mass murderer.

You know, it seems to me that George W. Bush should stand up and endorse Joe Biden for the sake of Democracy.
Congrats to Adam Kinzinger 👏
A quick edit and FYI:
I did not vote for George.
I didn't agree with or like his political agenda.
I'm not a Republican, nor have I ever been.
I'm simply making a statement about DEMOCRACY.

"There’s a lot at stake, particularly for CNN."

This strikes me as a ridiculous sentence. I thought the stakes were particularly acute for #democracy.

CREW has filed a new complaint with the following request: The FBI and Department of Justice should investigate whether Donald #Trump violated the law by promising political favors, if re-elected, to the oil and gas industry in exchange for $1 billion in campaign donations.

'Bragg will get assassinated': Jack Smith displays MAGA threats in new filing to Judge Cannon https://www.alternet.org/jack-smith-maga-threats/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=mastodon

It is profoundly telling that we even need a term like "Zionism" to describe such a basic right.

The absurdity becomes even more apparent when considering that the United Nations established Israel as the homeland for the Jewish people, in coexistence with Arabs and other residents of the region, in 1948.

The necessity for a specific term to defend the Jewish people's right to their own homeland underscores the unique and persistent challenges we face.

The spread of antisemitism through lies and false narratives not only distorts the truth but also undermines the legitimate and historical connection of the Jewish people to the land previously called Palestine and before that Judea and Samaria.

All these acts of blunt hate towards Jewish people in the past year stress is the need for us to have our own country and army...

Because clearly, no country seems too eager to protect us.

@FrankFrank Yes. Can you imagine how much a better place the world would havce been if for 8 years we had Al Gore instead of W and his puppet master Cheney. The CLIMATE... Al Gore's personal mission. An Obama-class Paris climate accord signed a DECADE earlier? And no stupid fake pretense Iraq war, that unleashed ISIS and the whole refugee nightmare in Europe (and resulting resurgence of Nazism). That 2000 decision is still echoing today...

Bonsitu Kitaba, deputy #legal dir for the #ACLU of #Michigan, argued MI's ban on #Medicaid coverage for #abortion creates a "two-tiered system" between those who can afford #private #HealthInsurance for terminating a pregnancy & those who cannot. The deprivation, Kitaba said, infringes on the fundamental right to #ReproductiveFreedom & is #discriminatory since Medicaid covers #childbirth but not abortion.

In North Carolina, it is my "divine" right to carry a firearm to protect against the teeny-tiny chance that someone will try to physically attack me or try to take my stuff.

But it is a CRIME for me to wear a harmless mask to protect against the ASTRONOMICALLY HIGH chance that I will inhale a wildly contagious and physically harmful virus that is likely to result in as much or more financial and physical harm over the course of my life.

A hearty Fuck You to anyone supporting a mask ban.

Now a word from your 1970s detective, Frank Cannon

Trump pocket judge Loose Cannon: Come On Aileen is of course trying her best to help her boss, Trump. But Jack Smith has not lost ONCE to her. She is afraid of the third spanking, and keeps SLOWLY making rulings that are correct
