As to Joe's age (similar to my own), I consider his agenda. Should he be unable to serve his full term, with VP Harris as backup the agenda isn't apt to turn into a fascist disaster.

Likewise, should the GOP nominee win and be unable to finish a full term, the elected fascist agenda isn't likely to turn into a democracy supporting agenda.

See why Joe's age is of no consequence?

Another historic benchmark: Donald Trump’s VP, Mike Pence, just testified in the grand jury about the crimes of his former boss. Take it from this old prosecutor-Pence’s testimony is sharply incriminating of Trump & moves the needle further in the direction of a Trump indictment.

Sounds like their reasoning for women with uteruses not being able to vote on women’s health care issues.

If I steal a meme and post it, I don’t feel compelled to first copy down any text in it and then retype it into alt text. That may be selfish of me. I also don’t feel compelled to translate posts I boost in other languages into English.

I’ve noticed some of the same people who are vigilant about alt text having no problem posting LOTE boosts.

A second firm hired by Trump campaign found no evidence of election fraud

The founder of the company has been interviewed by federal prosecutors investigating the former president’s efforts to overturn the 2020 results

Ken Block, founder of the firm Simpatico Software Systems, studied more than a dozen voter fraud theories and allegations for Trump’s campaign in late 2020 and found they were “all false,” he said in an interview with The Washington Post.

E. Jean Carroll is undergoing what can be described as a "scorched earth" cross examination by Trump defense attorney Joe Tacopina in the rape and defamation trial she brought against Trump, but Carroll is not intimidated.

"You were supposedly raped?" Tacopina asked.
"Not 'supposedly,' I was raped." Carroll replied.

Tacopina: "That's your version."
Carroll: "Those are the facts."

Rape victims asked to recount their trauma are ultimately victimized upon every retelling of what occurred, and the reliving of the incident is compounded by people disbelieving their account.

One in six women are raped, but only 16-40% of rapes are reported to law enforcement.

Drop a 💙if you want to see E. Jean Carroll get justice in this trial.

Pretty messed up that E. Jean Carroll has to be up there on the stand reliving that awful incident and trump isn't even there.

Who else wants to see them grill his ass on the stand?🤚

Bill Gates Says AI Will Teach Reading Better Than Humans - If he is correct, it will break a 20 year streak of failed education initiatives he has touted. A good bet is he is wrong again and still clueless. dianeravitch.net/2023/04/27/bi via @dianeravitch #privatization

Rep. Jamie Raskin announced that he has received a “preliminary diagnosis of being ‘in remission’ from diffuse large B-cell lymphoma” and has finished chemotherapy. Ringing that bell is no small moment. It is a BIG FUCKING DEAL. Reports are that he is in remission and the prognosis is no expected return. GOOD NEWS. #JanieRaskin #Ringthatbell

You aren't struggling because of other poor people

You aren't struggling because people won't have babies

You aren't struggling because of drag queens

You are struggling because you are oppressed by the ultra-wealthy who manipulate you to hate other poor people instead of them

The nation is not “barreling toward default,” nor is it “careening,” or even “drifting” there. It is being pushed there by Republicans. Please read and share: presswatchers.org/2023/04/repu
