The majority of the US considers access to abortion a fundamental right.
Conservatives cling to this ‘silent majority” nonsense, and it’s just that. Nonsense.
Abortion is healthcare.
This appears to be an excellent night for US moderates -> progressives. Reactionaries and fascists can suck it. Again.
Marijuana legalization: Decision Desk HQ projects #Ohio Issue 2 has passed.
#DecisionMade: 9:12pm EST
This also enshrines miscarriage emergency care, reproductive care, and contraception access into the state's constitution. WOMENS RIGHTS ARE HUMAN RIGHTS!!!
What’s up with Speaker Johnson not reporting a bank account?
Johnson’s recent launch from obscure congressional backbencher to one of the most powerful people in the country has come with a wave of scrutiny. Reporters are combing through his past and finding weird stuff — his 👉curious arrangement with his son to monitor each others’ digital devices for porn, for instance.
One less salacious but perhaps more consequential discovery involves his finances. In his most recent annual financial disclosures, released last year, 👉Johnson reports♦️ no assets at all♦️.
♦️Zero.♦️
There are 👉no retirement accounts, no money-market funds, no stocks, no crypto, not even a basic checking or savings account.
Even more peculiar, his disclosures have 👉never listed any checking or savings accounts on any of the forms he has filed going back to 2016, the year he was elected to Congress.
This is confusing. Where is his congressional salary being deposited? How is he paying his bills?
Johnson was asked on Sunday about his lack of a bank account during an interview on Fox News.
“I’m a man of modest means,” he replied, deflecting.
He said he had previously worked at nonprofits.
He noted that he also has👉 either four or five children (which is a whole other story).
“We have a lot of expenses,” he said, citing multiple tuition bills for those kids.
He then pivoted to talking about his upbringing as the son of a firefighter

It seems like when Republicans win an election it's because they "Connected with voters" and "Poor Democrat messaging" etc.
When Democrats win it's because of the weather, phase of the moon, something was on TV, etc.
In case you haven't figured it out those are propaganda messages they use to avoid saying things outright.
If you're repeating their propaganda messages you ought to think about that.

Andy Beshear has been an excellent governor for the state of Kentucky and he deserved reelection. He has an excellent future ahead of him down the line as well.
MAGA is a GOP primary power, but mostly a general election cancer. Most people look at MAGA and do not want to be associated with them. And that carries over to the ballot box.
Don’t look at polls. Look at results.
Democrat Andy Beshear wins reelection in Kentucky governor’s race |

Trudeau comments on 'deeply disturbing' antisemitic firebombings overnight in Dollard
I encourage everyone to watch this entire @jaketapper segment which lays bare how deeply evil and cynical Hamas and its top funder the Islamic Republic are.
This does not mean governments are off the hook, but Hamas and the Islamic Republic do not wish for freedom... all they want is death, destruction, and subjugation.
We are in a moment when there is defense of people being Antisemitic, when people feel comfortable being anti-Arab and Islamophobia when anti-racism is frowned upon, when humanity is thrown out the window and the indefensible is being defended.
Carnage creates more carnage. Hate and anger begets evil.
Don't lose your humanity. Hold your friends and family close. Embrace differences. Search for understanding.
@BruceMirken He has no knowledge or care about what others think, especially non-Christians.
But you're right, he's essentially blaming Jews for antisemitism.
Charlie Kirk is finally peeling the "Judeo-Christian" mask off to reveal what always lurked underneath the evangelical apocalyptic tradition. The reactionary right is about totally sublimating Judaism into Christianity.
They don't want any other form of religion or philosophy to be seen in public beyond Confederate Christianity. Their objectives are fundamentally antisemitic.
Here’s What Michael Phelps Wants You to Know About Covid-19.
Be prepared and act quickly if the virus strikes, says the swimming legend.
Phelps later learned that his depression puts him at a high risk for severe Covid-19, “which makes sense because I’ve experienced how mental health can affect physical health,” he says. “This was really eye-opening for me, and I know I’m not alone. There are so many people who don’t know they’re at high risk for getting very sick from Covid-19.”
