@tristansnell and yet, some people may not bother to vote, they don’t like #trump , but not sure they know enough about #kamalaharris or her policies. It like the old false equivalency - you can have chicken for dinner or a plate of sh*t with glass in it. Do you really need to know how the chicken is cooked?. Really?

WaPo headline:
"Trump says if he loses election, Jewish voters would have ‘a lot’ to do with it"

If indeed this is the case my joy and my pride would have no bounds! #Jewishvoters #Jewsvote

Trump tells a Jewish group the Jews will be to blame if he loses: "I will put it to you very simply and gently: I really haven't been treated right, but you haven't been treated right because you're putting yourself in great danger."

"The Trump-appointed judge [i.e., Aileen Cannon] who threw out the former president’s criminal classified documents case wasn’t up-front about her own conflicts, and now the details of her backroom liaisons are beginning to trickle out."

Why all this Vance crap is distraction and lies ..
A $500 million grant from the clean energy plan could bring jobs and hope to JD Vance's hometown of Middletown, Ohio. But instead of supporting it, Vance is trying to kill the very plan that's helping his community thrive.

I'd feel bad for the bag! Unless there was a muzzle involved, too... 😅

“Officers stayed on top of Rhyker for more than 15 minutes, with his face in a pillow. During this time, Rhyker begged for his life and screamed that he couldn’t breathe. His pleas, and those of his aunt and grandmother, were ignored,” Wagner said.

This is straight murder. Another cop murders someone having a medical emergency. Why?

Because his feelings got hurt.

@colo_lee All of the Republican messaging is centered on hate, division, the removal of personal rights, and the imposition of only Republican officials into your private life decisions. This extends from what you can read to who can vote to what goes on with your bodily autonomy. They’re bad at the economy. They’re bad with immigration. They’re bad at dealing with crime. There’s no reason to vote for them whatsoever and plenty of reasons to vote for Democrats.

Freedom is sending your kids to school or parade without fear

Freedom is the ability to control your own body

Freedom is access to abundents affordable housing.

Freedom is one job being enough.

J.D. Vance offers ‘proof’ of pet-eating, but it’s proven false with 1 phone call

I cannot think of anything less valuable than a specific language. It's like celebrating religion; great, there's a 90 percent plus chance you're speaking the same language your parents spoke (or God they worshipped). You might as well celebrate being born straight. Or your local sports team. You didn't do anything.

This is all stolen valour of the achievements of others.

It's all made up Culture War to give people with no sense of worth some illusion of value to hold onto.

Federal judge deals blow to Mark Meadows in Arizona criminal election subversion case

A judge dealt former Trump White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows a blow on Monday, rejecting his request to move his criminal charges in Arizona to federal court.

U.S. District Judge John Tuchi wrote Monday that Meadows... failed to "demonstrate that the conduct charged in the state's prosecution relates to his former color of office as Chief of Staff to the President."

Amber Thurman should be alive today. Denied timely care under Georgia’s restrictive abortion laws, she died from a treatable infection. Her young son is now without his mother because of the policies Donald Trump put in place. And she’s not the only one. We cannot stay silent while MAGA Republicans attack our health, lives, and freedoms. https://www.propublica.org/article/georgia-abortion-ban-amber-thurman-death

Elon Musk makes “jokes” about rape & murder because he’s an unhinged psychopath.

No sane person makes jokes about rape & murder.

We as a society must stop normalizing the dangerous lunacy of rich white men.
