Worth the 48 minute read. Lists every "factual untruth" told in the debate, with comments I have to wonder why Trump's claim that he didn't want to run for a 2nd term didn't make the list. Trump has been running the 2024 election campaign since he left the WH edition.cnn.com/2024/06/27/p...

OK. A lot happened over the long weekend, if you were blessedly off with a job of beach or something similar. First up, The Washington Post acknowledged that it knew about the (first) Alito flag story since Jan 2021, and I had some questions. www.lawdork.com/p/washington...
Washington Post bombshell: Washington Post buried Alito flag story for three yearswww.lawdork.com Saturday's report raises many questions, several relating to the fact that the Post, at least passively, made the decision not to reveal this news many times since 2021.

I’m at a “briefing” for the eclipse-chasing group I’m with. The group’s meteorologist gave a detailed comparison of European and American models of cloud cover for tomorrow. We think there will be high thin clouds—not terrible. 🔭 There’s cake.

It goes deeper than that even. How could Black folks, queer folks, women have made themselves free on their own? It’s not possible according to the white supremacist pov. Eric Ward, expert on white nationalism, articulates it— someone else must be behind the scenes engineering it all —>

My latest column for TheGrio discusses how a white woman "ally" remixed Sojourner Truth's most famous speech to make it more appealing to the white people she was trying to convince to abolish slavery. You want to read this.

Ohio has basically defacto banned trans healthcare for adults using a similar strategy to why there was only a handful of abortion clinics in the entire Midwest before the Dobbs decision (TRAP laws) cis people please repost this so this info doesn't get stuck in the queer social bubble
Breaking: Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine (R) bans, by executive order, gender-affirming surgery for minors, effective immediately. The move followed last week's veto of a broader bill. He also announced two proposed rules that will apply to all care, including adults. substack.com/profile/2269...

Watching the news, may God Bless Hunter Biden & keep him safe. Today's GOP wishes him ill, physically, mentally, & legally, because his last name is Biden. They are sick people who want to destroy him specifically to hurt his father, & dare call themselves Christian. May God forgive them; I cannot
