Troy Jackson got $15k from big oil, pharma lobbyists. He’s giving it to charity.

Alabama was the last state to repeal its legal prohibition on interracial marriage.

This happened in 2000, more than 30 years after such laws had been struck down by SCOTUS as unconstitutional.

When MAGA invokes states’ rights, it’s at least partly informed by a nostalgia for legal segregation.

Trump cut a deal with Putin to route $4 billion of American dollars to Russia. That money can be used to build drones that Russia will sell to Iran, and that Iran will use to kill American troops. Trump would be using American money to pay for Iran to murder our troops.

WaPo:

"Speaking at Vice President JD Vance’s rally in Monroe, Michigan, House Republican Conference Chairwoman Lisa McClain (Michigan) delivered the party’s final argument to voters: that Americans should keep the GOP in power because the party has “more work to do.”"

Right. Our systematic destruction of America is not yet finished so please give us more time to ruin your lives.

Trump LOVES AI because he’s profiting. Guess what AI thinks of Trump?

DeepSeek estimates his IQ at 80-85. Lol!

Katie Zacharia passed the bar exam like I pass trees and trash containers when I drive down the street or take Ollie for a walk.

(Disclaimer: While Ollie routinely pees on trees and trash containers, I am not implying anything about Katie's behavior regarding the bar exam. Although if she did sit for the exam and failed, she might have been pissed off. But that's just hearsay or whatever.)

“Never believe that anti‐Semites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The anti‐Semites have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past.

It is not that they are afraid of being convinced. They fear only to appear ridiculous or to prejudice by their embarrassment their hope of winning over some third person to their side.”

— Jean-Paul Sartre, „Anti-Semite and Jew: An Exploration of the Etiology of Hate”, 1944

Re: Zacharia, I get why she didn’t pass the bar. But how did someone who struggles with reading aloud graduate law school? Seems like a highly textual profession drawing the hyperfluent, judging by my friends.

#TraitorTrump has no clue what he's doing, so he relies on #Putin to tell him what to do & stay in power.

THAT is why he won't turn on Putin.

ICE in Yakima, Washington.

Where Al Maletta opened his shop 90 years ago. An Italian immigrant who imported accordions and guitars for generations.

Taylor Music is still open today.

Forgetting that immigration built legacies is the same mindset that forgets the whole damn economy was originally built on slavery.

🇺🇦 Zelensky: What was really strange, and what was not like between partners, they switched off Starlink. Absolutely crazy steps.

This is war for us, but for somebody, it’s business. It’s not fair.

‼️ Piers Morgan: Do you think Elon Musk has deliberately turned the speed down on Starlink to damage you?

🇺🇦 Zelensky: They knew what they did, absolutely.

The world saw a huge drop in right-wing engagement online after Ukraine starting striking data centers in Russia. Evidence points towards Russia being behind large bot operations to promote MAGA, the AfD, Reform, and other pro-Russian extreme parties in the West.

Russian Weakness EXPOSED After...

There is no evidence that Katie Zacharia was admitted to practice law in a single state or Washington, D.C. https://trib.al/TEbWJLC
