Don't be fooled — DeSantis' own state has worse crime than the 'woke' cities he attacks: analyst.
Former President Donald Trump was infamous for campaigning on fear of crime — and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, now challenging Trump for the nomination in 2024, is determined to outdo him, telling voters to fear criminal justice reform and progressive cities as morasses of violence and danger. But DeSantis' own state reportedly doesn't prove his point. https://www.rawstory.com/ron-desantis-2661042692/

Broadcaster Pat Robertson, who helped replace Christ's gospel of love with the endlessly overflowing sewer of hate, bigotry, nonsense, and lies that is today's #Republican Party, has died. https://apnews.com/article/pat-robertson-dead-christian-broadcasting-700-club-91299d0953c014ca6860fe545cac793e

Best obituary headline ever.
Nicely done, @noahshachtman @RollingStone
@ben This is a symptom of the species and technology. I think we are in deep shit. Think in terms of the Fermi Paradox and The Great Filter. We are too selfish as a species, in specific terms much more WE>ME is needed, not ME>WE. We’re on a downward slide taking the planet with us and while I’m bitching, Capitalism is not going to carry us forward into an automated, AI world. Imo, look ahead to a big unpleasant reset.

I was asked how we'll adapt in an era where we can't trust any recorded media - video, audio, photos, the works - to represent the truth. Here's my answer. https://werd.io/2023/when-deepfakes-are-everywhere
@JDS #Scotus #Gerrymandering A lot depends on how much more Conservative we allow SCOTUS to become.

This is big. This ruling will cause all gerrymandering to stop.

President of Ukraine Volodymyr #Zelenskyy visited the #Kherson region on June 8, 2023. He held a meeting regarding the liquidation of the aftermath of the #Kakhovka HPP destruction. The Ukrainian President visited flooded areas in Kherson and a crossing where people are being evacuated.

'Very disturbing': Trump lawyer lashes out over unconfirmed report of Mark Meadows' flipping https://www.rawstory.com/alina-habba-2661136011/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=mastodon
@PaulDitz I’m liberal, not a Democrat, having a hard time remembering when Dems had huge majorities. That was before LGB was normalized and now T is causing some portion of Americans to lose their minds. Normalization will continue, the moral straight jackets will be removed, acceptance gained, and if we are pragmatic, we need a party that can win, and insure that modern Conservatism is minimized. At TPIT Dems appear to have the best chance achieving it, but I’m open to workable alternatives.

'Very ominous' statement from Mark Meadows' lawyer should unnerve Trump: CNN's Evan Perez.
CNN senior justice correspondent Evan Perez believes former President Donald Trump should start worrying about his one-time chief of staff cooperating with federal prosecutors. https://www.rawstory.com/mark-meadows-grand-jury/
#ConservatismInAmerica #SCOTUS The Supreme Court rules against the Alabama suit to support gerrymandering in the State. Note 4 conservative justices who dissented appear to like gerrymandering when it helps their political goals for The USA.

Got this photo today from my son, who lives in Brooklyn. He described the sky this afternoon as a scary shade of not quite orange.

You suppose Fox would actually sue Tuckums, considering how he MADE their network? https://www.axios.com/2023/06/07/fox-news-tucker-carlson-contract-breach
@PaulDitz I sympathize with the sentiment, while saying look at the composition of Congress. Congress is just a symptom of the illness that lives among us. Nothing will improve until Americans stop electing poison to lead them. 🤔
@realTuckFrumper the sooner it happens, the better. It’s ironic that this need came about soon after the Court achieved a “conservative” super majority. 🤔
