Influential activist #LeonardLeo helped fund media campaign #lionizing #ClarenceThomas. Public relations campaign shows how he has continued to exert influence in support of #rightleaning #justices aftr helping them secure #lifetime appointments. It adds to emerging portrait of Leo as behind-the-scenes #benefactor, defending justices from public criticism and exalting their jurisprudence while tending to personal matters including private travel and a spouse’s employment. https://www.washingtonpost.com/investigations/2023/07/20/leonard-leo-clarence-thomas-paoletta/

@deliciousreci79 welcome to Mastodon✌️😀
Trump’s many other crimes should not let anyone lose sight of the fact that he raped Jean Carroll. A jury found that unanimously, and now a judge has reaffirmed it clearly and forcefully.
Republicans must be asked again and again: If rape isn’t disqualifying in a candidate for public office, what is?

The plant, which employs 18 people, started production of biochar in April. It generated 100 tons of #BioChar in June and is expected to produce 500 tons this month. The hope is to ramp up production to about 10,000 tons per year and begin marketing the product to customers in 2024. https://www.bluemountaineagle.com/news/new-biochar-plant-in-john-day-ramps-up-production/article_83c60132-24eb-11ee-854b-477f2fab38ba.html
I know some of you kids are reading this. Even if you aren't up to taking the land back from Uncle Grandpa yet you can start learning how to work the land and garden. Trust me when I tell you it's harder than it looks and dealing with abandoned land is fucked :)
You have to learn a lot of stuff to become a space communist son.

@crooksandliars Looking at the Comer quote, the ultimate in self serving ‘Hey our Crook is not so bad’ equivalence arguments:
“I think that Joe Biden has been selling access to our enemies for decades," Comer said without offering any proof to back that up. 🤔
I'm sure the millions and millions of people watching the TED CRUZ PODCAST are nodding in agreement.
@ewdocparris@writing.exchange The inkjet gets you $$ with ink replacement. The next time you feel like getting a new printer, consider a laser printer. I have a HP Laserjet, I’m very pleased with. Heads don’t clog, ink which is powder does not dry up. I don’t print alot and it seems to be more economical. 😇
@JuanWild@newsie.social UN-F*cking Believable. At this point you really have ask, just how sinister are these people? Have they always been around us? The obvious answer to that Is YES they have but they retreated under rocks during the Civil Rights 60s, emerged in the 70s, & started serious moves in the 80s. 40 yrs ago, so this isn’t something new. In the 20s it’s emboldenment to actually shred the Constitution and turn the country into a farcical beacon of freedom, liberty, and democracy. Did we fool ya? 😪
“You violently opposed him at every single turn—without offering a single ounce of the grace you claim as the heart of your faith tradition. You jettisoned Jesus as you dispensed damnation on him.”
“And yet you give carte blanche to a white Republican man so riddled with depravity, so littered with extramarital affairs, so unapologetically vile, with such a vast resume of moral filth—that the mind boggles.”
https://johnpavlovitz.com/2018/01/24/white-evangelicals-people/ “I need to tell you something: People have had it with you.
They’re done.
They want nothing to do with you any longer, and here’s why:
“They see your hypocrisy, your inconsistency, your incredibly selective mercy, and your thinly veiled supremacy.”
“For eight years they watched you relentlessly demonize a black President; a man faithfully married for 26 years; a doting father and husband without a hint of moral scandal or the slightest whiff of infidelity.”
But the RAPIST. YES. DOCUMENTED RAPIST you welcome with open arms. Hypocrites liars and thieves.
