@kcarruthers I keep seeing people insisting there's no purpose in voting because "they're both the same" - must be nice not to be or care about any of the groups where one party is actively trying to remove their access to healthcare, education, marriage, or even just plain existence. Sure, neither party achieves post-capitalist leftist perfection, but only one has directly hurting people as its stated goal.
Meme comes back to haunt fake elector Meshawn Maddock
On May 16, 2023, Meshawn Maddock a fake elector from Michigan who thought it would be a good idea to sign her name to a phony document in an attempt to overthrow democracy in the United States, tweeted an animated GIF of a human skeleton tapping its finger with impatience.
The caption below the GIF read, "Dems waiting for my arrest"
Yesterday, Maddock was one of 15 fake electors who were arrested and charged with eight felonies: two counts of election law forgery; two counts of forgery; and one count each of uttering and publishing, conspiracy to commit forgery, conspiracy to commit election law forgery and conspiracy to commit forgery. Conspiracy to commit forgery and conspiracy to commit uttering and publishing are punishable by up to 14 years in prison.

"Well after the failed SARS reports, bank records, form 10-23," Raskin quipped, "we can conclude that this Inspector Clouseau-style quest for something that doesn't exist has turned our Committee into a theater of the absurd; an exercise in futility and embarrassment." https://www.rawstory.com/biden-raskin/
Does there exist one individual who was forced into the #MeToo club that did NOT KNOW Trump was a rapist?
But it’s nice that we have judicial clarification & permission to use the label.
Now can we do #Kavanaugh?

So at bad old "woke" New College of Florida, a hardworking young Floridian of limited means could successfully pursue a degree in neuroscience. At Ron DeSantis's new New College--where competence has apparently gone to die--she's just out of luck.

The Morality Police have returned to Iran, but the mood has definitely changed.
"Despite the mounting pressure created by the patrols, the women bravely adorn their chosen attire and confidently visit cafes, purchase books and take leisurely strolls.
They aim to send a resolute message: "We are not turning back."

I know of 81M witnesses who are ready to testify.
“Donald Trump’s lawyers and advisers are trying to figure out if there is evidence and witnesses they are unaware of that are bolstering special counsel Jack Smith’s investigation into efforts to overturn the 2020 election,” CNN reports.
“The target letter suggests the special counsel will prosecute a bigger case against Trump than the former president’s team was expecting, given the evidence they are aware of."
The United States Supreme Court has already spoken, humiliating the state in front of the nation. But our lawmakers in Montgomery have no sense of shame. As they redraw the maps, again, these lawmakers have learned nothing. https://link.al.com/view/5efe4c2042ce88753244f961j4m4r.2wu/3e172864
Joe Biden’s Twitter account put that line over an ad using the words of Georgia Republican representative Marjorie Taylor Greene’s Turning Points Action Conference speech from last weekend, in which she set out to tear down the president’s policies but ended up making him sound terrific."
