#PrideInAmerica Forwarded from MadAboutPolitics forums, give 3 cheers to Cracker Barrel and stop by for dinner or breakfast (my favorite)! 😘
One of America’s oldest restaurant chains has stood by its decision to launch a new campaign to celebrate Pride Month amid a deluge of bigoted attacks.

Anyone wanting to participate in this war should allow the leaders to go in first this time. You know they’re all too chicken to do more than stir controversy.
@AlliFlowers it’s a second generation iPad Air 2 I think. There is a good chance I’ll be looking to upgrade around Thansgiving. 🙂
@AlliFlowers @yoused 😛 I use it until it stops or I am compelled to upgrade. I did put ice cube on my phone and that’s my favorite third-party app for Mastodon. On my iPad. My favorite is just using the Safari browser version.

The Urgent Campaign To Honor Nisei Veterans | LAist https://laist.com/news/urgent-campaign-honor-nisei-japanese-american-veterans
The last several years have seen a growing focus on the stories of second-generation nisei like Nakamura, who were drafted into the armed forces while the U.S. government held more than 125,000 people of Japanese descent in desolate camps around the country.

@AlliFlowers I wanted Ice Cubes, but my iPad is too old to run it. It needs iOS16.1
@PaulDitz I am foggy about that period as far as where LBGT acceptance was at that point. I’m not saying don’t be aggravated at Dems, but I am saying be pragmatic about available options for the upcoming election. I think showing up the Dems by voting for a secondary candidate that hands the election to the GOP would be a monumental mistake.. 🤔

Ari Melber saying “dayenu” when recounting each of the 7 counts of indictment had just made my day. (Dayenu in hebrew means “it would be enough”) #msnbc #arimelber #trump

Alabama discriminated against Black voters, US supreme court rules. John Roberts and Brett Kavanaugh join liberal justices in 5-4 decision that is major victory for Voting Rights Act.

Trump indictment for Jan. 6 may be 'just as imminent' as classified docs case: ex-prosecutor.
It is going to be extremely difficult for former president Donald Trump to overcome testimony provided by Mark Meadows, and such testimony could mean a Jan. 6 indictment is "just as imminent" as in the confidential docs case, a former federal prosecutor and legal expert said Tuesday night. https://www.rawstory.com/donald-trump-january-6-2661051875/
