Know your Christian Nationalist dog whistles: the “appeal to heaven” flag is the new confederate flag. It was flown by insurrectionists on January 6. And now it hangs outside of House Speaker Mike Johnson’s office.

It's laughable to see Republicans trying to say that they're only in favor of "reasonable restrictions" on abortion, when many have supported a complete ban on abortion for any reason, and have expressed interest in banning even contraception.

The right is getting a lesson about taking away people’s rights. Republicans who’ve pushed this issue for decades can’t hide now.

GOP strategists urge congressional candidates to campaign against a national abortion ban-

This doesn't change my opinion of Cannon one iota; by allowing Trump to later move to delay the trial, but keeping the date for now, she is blocking Fani Willis from scheduling her trial on the current FLA date. And Cannon has substantially delayed the dates for all FLA filings.

Here's the thread, via Threadreader: #GOPfascists #GOPfail

“If I happen to be president, and I see somebody who is doing well and beating me very badly, I’ll say, ‘go down and indict them.'" https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-news/trump-warns-indict-political-opponents-reelected-1234875220/

This is what the GOP Fascist Party does. Nothing matters but what they want, and the only laws, regulations, or votes that apply are those that benefit them. Trump 101.

This is an actual press release from the #Ohio House Republican Caucus.

They're claiming Ohio's new constitutional right to abortion access doesn't repeal the #abortion bans passed by the legislature

At Seaham Harbour on the Durham Heritage Coast in North East England, this is the 'Slope Beach'.
Not a soul around on this visit, but on that temperature-busting day last year, when weather records were being smashed across many parts of the UK, this spot was rammed with people enjoying the heatwave.
The pier on the left, with its lighthouse, regularly feature in the national press for the impressive scenes when stormy seas crash up against it.

In England, "booster shot" is spelled "borchestershire shot."

The professor tells me
that her students
are all sick
these days she lectures
to a half empty room
and those few students
who come to class
just sit there coughing
in a tired voice she tells me
the pandemic is over
yes, it’s all over her campus.

“Roberts and Kavanaugh are shrewd political operatives who have dedicated decades of their personal and professional lives to electing Republicans. They are not afraid to play the long game.”
