Trump now claims Arlington cemetery scandal was ‘all made up’ by Harris

https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/donald-trump-cemetery-scandal-harris-b2606464.html

Via Katie Phang:

NEW: Judge #Chutkan allows #Trump to waive having to appear at his arraignment on his superseding indictment in his DC election interference case.

Note: This is a common occurrence and Trump is not getting special treatment in this waiver.

Republicans in Louisiana have made it hard to prescribe misoprostol to patients. Just so y’all are crystal fucking clear here, the people who get this medication are almost always otherwise pretty healthy 15-35 year old women who have the misfortune of suffering a miscarriage, hemorrhage after delivering a baby, or period so heavy they are at risk of needing a blood transfusion. That’s right. Your kids, friends, significant others. You know, women.

Joy Behar: Why doesn’t the media now talk about how old Trump is? This doddering fooI can’t put a sentence together and nobody says anything about it.

"Some hospitals have already preemptively pulled #misoprostol from their obstetric hemorrhage carts and kits...

“The physician community that I work within is certainly anxious about what the changes to the normal process will be,” said Dr. Stacey Holman...

She added how “frustrating” it is that it’s become routine in #Louisiana to have an unclear #law attempting to dictate #medical practice creating stress on #healthcare providers."

This is what Donald #Trump meant when he meant "send it to the states."

Now lifesaving medication is getting pulled off the shelves.

BREAKING: Lifesaving medication for postpartum hemorrhaging is being pulled off emergency carts because of new #Louisiana law reclassifying misoprostol as a controlled dangerous substance. https://lailluminator.com/2024/09/03/louisiana-women/

There are no words to express how much I detest Microsoft Teams.

Ooookay so I had an idea and jumped on it.

I'm now the proud owner of writingmonth.org. I'm gonna code up a site for a generic, non-enshittified site for community focused chasing of writing goals, coincidentally focused around the month of November.

Any NaNoWriMo veterans who wanna give me ideas or recommendations, I am very happy to take them. :)

Actor James Darren of Gidget and Tj Hooker:has died He was 88.🙏 🙏

No matter how many stupid memes Elon Musk posts, no matter how hard he suppresses liberal accounts, no matter how many lies he spreads, no matter how much money he gives to Donald Trump, Kamala Harris & Tim Walz are going to win in November.

We are not going back.

There are few cases that depict how willing Salt Lake City PD is to brutalize homeless folks as much as the attack on Agnes Martinez.

Ms. Martinez, who was living out of her car, is a 5' 2" woman who didn't want to be arrested for simply trying to survive.

Her refusal to relax her arm when being slammed against her car, which had been illegally searched, was enough for SLCPD officers Lane Wolfenbarger and Paul Mullenax to justify slamming her to the ground so hard her leg shattered.

Has anyone heard anything more about the dude that tried to attack the media at the Trump rally or has the media decided to not cover that story because it might paint Republicans in a bad way?

When someone asserts that teachers are “indoctrinating” kids of anything, they’re giving away their absolute cluelessness of what actually takes place in classrooms.

Teachers don’t have time to pee. When the everlovin’ f*ck are they gonna find time to teach your kids how to be trans/gay/woke/etc?! Get a clue, dipshits.

"A spokesman for Arlington National Cemetery said today that holding a campaign event on its soil not only breaks the rules of the cemetery but is a violation of federal law."

I was saddened to learn that @stevesilberman passed away last night from his husband, who shared the news on Bluesky.

Steve was a true mensch: kind, funny, generous, passionate in righteous fury & compassionate.

He helped countless people understand neurodiversity, spoke truth to power, & shared joy in good music, great food, & clever humor.

I’m grateful to have known him online, in life. We will hold him in the light tonight, in death. RIP.
