I cannot think of anything less valuable than a specific language. It's like celebrating religion; great, there's a 90 percent plus chance you're speaking the same language your parents spoke (or God they worshipped). You might as well celebrate being born straight. Or your local sports team. You didn't do anything.

This is all stolen valour of the achievements of others.

It's all made up Culture War to give people with no sense of worth some illusion of value to hold onto.

RS:
Federal judge deals blow to Mark Meadows in Arizona criminal election subversion case

A judge dealt former Trump White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows a blow on Monday, rejecting his request to move his criminal charges in Arizona to federal court.

U.S. District Judge John Tuchi wrote Monday that Meadows... failed to "demonstrate that the conduct charged in the state's prosecution relates to his former color of office as Chief of Staff to the President."

FYI to anyone stuck in a red state hell hospital with a life-threatening obstetric problem: you can demand transfer to another hospital, including one out of state. The hospital may or may not be able to honor that request for a variety of logistical reasons, but particularly if you are near a blue state line, they might. See, they can’t transfer you to the same level of care on their own, but they can at your request (IF an accepting hospital can be found).

Amber Thurman should be alive today. Denied timely care under Georgia’s restrictive abortion laws, she died from a treatable infection. Her young son is now without his mother because of the policies Donald Trump put in place. And she’s not the only one. We cannot stay silent while MAGA Republicans attack our health, lives, and freedoms. propublica.org/article/georgia

Elon Musk makes “jokes” about rape & murder because he’s an unhinged psychopath.

No sane person makes jokes about rape & murder.

We as a society must stop normalizing the dangerous lunacy of rich white men.

Like after every shooting in America, I have only thoughts and prayers

...and a burning desire for real #GunControlNow

#ArmsShouldBeWellRegulated

Howard Lutnick blamed Biden for the high inflation, said #TFG has nothing to do with #Project2025, & he'd authorize more oil drilling bc EVs -not viable for decades. He spoke on CNBC today, with little pushback. Lutnick will be co-chair of TFG's transition team with L McMahon, if the ex-pres. wins. His level of mendaciousness matches TFG's.

Lutnick is as unhinged as TFG, but more dangerous. He'll help carry out TFG's🚨diabolical plans.

This is horrific and not remotely surprising. There is plenty of data showing that pre-Roe there was no difference in the rate of abortion; the only difference was female mortality. We knew the Dobbs decision would kill women. They did it anyway. propublica.org/article/georgia

This is your chance, Republicans! It takes a majority vote in house and a 2/3 vote in Senate to impeach him. His lies are stochastic domestic terrorism and he admitted them on live TV, falsely blamed his constituents. You know he is HURTING your orange shitgibbon's chances and thus all downballot rethuglicans nationwide. If your christofascist Speaker blocks it, senate can at least expel him. Do you have 16 Senators remaining with any morals, any guts whatsoever?

America doesn’t need a president who hates Taylor Swift.

America needs a president who hates poverty, inequality, injustice, ignorance, racism, sexism, bigotry, homophobia, xenophobia, nationalism, zealotry, climate change, war, treason, and fascism.

Vote Blue.

What a fabulous phrase. “The Saints have dominated.”

@AlliFlowers @GreenFire Very likely Tubby's also falsely believing to not be endangering U.S. national security by permanently obstructing the confirmation of leading national defense officers.

There were times, when most of Congress would've agreed on the necessary expulsion of a member of Congress doing the bidding of America's enemies.

If you’re black and poor in America, the cops will shoot you in the face if you fall asleep in your car.

If you’re white and rich in America, the cops will endorse you for president even if you get convicted of rape & fraud, and try to overthrow the government.

You cannot imagine it because it’s never happened. Any parent knows that most schools completely plotz if they even have to give a kid some ibuprofen, but on Planet Trump, school nurses can apparently do surgery in the office. At the same rally, #Trump threatened to round up undocumented #immigrants en masse & admitted it would be a “bloody story.”

Senator Tuberville (Ala.) has frozen the nomination of Lt. Gen. Ronald P. Clark to become the four-star commander of all U.S. Army forces in the Pacific, according to the senator’s spokeswoman, Mallory Jaspers.

The job for which General Clark has been nominated would place him at the forefront of the Pentagon’s efforts to contain China and defend Taiwan.

Is Tuberville holding up his nomination because he's opposed to containing China or is it because Clark is Black?

@GayDeceiver

And THEN you get shot (at school - I guess that's period 3 after your gender reassignment). Not because of unfettered gun availability, but because CRIME is out of control.
