Republicans forget their own rules in push to nominate Trump as House Speaker - Raw Story https://www.rawstory.com/trump-rule-26/
My god they are talking about #Trump as the Speaker of the House?? If that is possible, a non-House member as Speaker, this is pure lunacy, just put a stake in it, we are done. (Stake as in through the ♥️ of vampires) The only person worse than Jordan or Green would be #TheHeadLiar. Thank you Republicans for the potential Icing on the Cake of Our Demise as a functional republic. 🔥🤡🔥

US student held in Dubai for weeks for tapping security officer’s arm https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2023/oct/04/new-york-college-student-dubai-jail
I wrote a column for the local paper that was published last week.
With the climate crisis in full swing I was trying to point out the need for managed retreat from not only physical infrastructure but since everything requires the use of fossil fuels still we need managed retreat from the non-essential.
Note: The title was the editor's decision.

The cost of everything these past couple years is corporate greed (100%).
Defenders of Washington seem to use "inflation" and "supply chain" as if these things are out of our control. But, corporations in nearly every sector - from utilities to food - have been making record profit while more Americans find themselves impoverished. Let's be real. Get more angry about those stock buy-backs. Keep fighting. USA corruption is staggering, so let's make the rich pay or get rid of $ entirely.

@Huntn00 @AlliFlowers Background checks? OK, his antisocial personality disorder & disregard for right & wrong should definitely be checked to prove he's completely unfit to ever possess a firearm — he could kill Americans on Fifth Ave & elsewhere.
When not getting Americans killed by incitement of violence & insurrection.
