French people riot and block roads every two weeks because the price of a baguette increased but suddenly they reject fascism and it’s like oh wow this kooky country can’t get anything done!

Biden’s mental acuity *is* a huge story but the media’s unrelenting focus on it has shoved Trump’s dangers to the back burner. That’s irresponsible. My new column https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/article/2024/jul/09/biden-media-attacks-trump-felon?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other

It always astounds me how cartoonishly stupid the far right are. For all their highbrow talk of classical western civilization and obsession with IQ they're just a bunch of losers yelling at meteorologists for not making the weather be good.

Project 2025 describes NOAA as a “colossal operation that has become one of the main drivers of the climate change alarm industry and, as such, is harmful to future US prosperity” NOAA is primarily responsible for the National Weather Service amp.theguardian.com/us-news/2024...

Lots of people yelling at journalists to cover Project 2025, which is fair! And we’ve done and will continue to do extensive coverage of it; but also, maybe the candidate himself should mention it? Which highlights the nub of the issue here.

turns out my state is having a contest on "I Voted" sticker designs, and I would like to show you the most metal one by a middle schooler:

So, little bit of a roller coaster day. We’re writing an offer for a ranch house. We currently live in the SW of our community & this would be on the NE end. No guarantees we get it, but only 2-3 minor fixes & everything on our checklist but a flat yard with a fence!

The Black Panther Party learned that sickle cell anemia was a neglected genetic disease affecting mostly people of African descent. Although disease had been known since 1910, it attracted little govt attention and even less funding. So the Panthers set up a screening program. #BlackSky #Disability

"Approximately 1 in 365 African American children are born with sickle cell, according to the CDC.. Tens of thousands of lower-income families with children suffering from sickle cell disease have applied for SSI. But roughly 76% of those applicants had their requests denied between 2015 and 2020."

Thousands of Black children with sickle cell disease struggle to access disability paymentswww.cbsnews.com New data show how one federal safety net program has been out of reach for thousands of children who need it most.

I had a chat with the conservative mom of a friend today. We talked about a bunch of stuff and I learned several interesting things, among them, that religious conservatives are often PRO-CHOICE AND THINK THE SUPREME COURT IS INSANE. Run on Dobbs. Run on justices and court reform. Do it.

Organizers got enough signatures to put a measure protecting abortion on the ballot in Arkansas. In *Arkansas*. They had *no national support*. Ignore the pundits melting down over not being treated as Very Special Boys. Dobbs has fundamentally changed elections. Everything they know is wrong.

Arkansas abortion rights groups collect enough signatures to advance ballot measurewww.nbcnews.com A measure to enshrine abortion rights in the ruby red state’s constitution is now one step closer to making the November ballot — but major obstacles remain.

This is where NYT, WaPo, etc need to be investigating & putting on the front page the results of abortion bans where they already exist. Irish voters couldn’t abide what their abortion ban did to women when they saw it in the paper daily. We need the same

This!! Start with “they want to end no fault divorce, sell national parks, and ban porn” end with tax structure.

tom nichols—of all people???—just made a good point: you have to talk about P2025 in simple real people terms. not policy wonk terms.

Long elections waste immense amounts of money. they harass potential voters into apathy. They play into the horse-race, scandal-fed view of politics that feeds deeply unserious media coverage. They NOT INCIDENTALLY make it difficult/impossible for campaigns to deal with last-minute surprises.

note how long it took the French from calling the election to holding not 1 but 2 votes? and organizing the shit out of the second one? LESS THAN ONE MONTH A national election does not have to be a painful 1.5-2 year process! the US election campaign should quite honestly not even have started yet!!

@ndtex.gamin4aven.org @mmilford85.bluesky.social I wonder if they need to start making sports parents read this book before they can sign them up? apple.news/AjgHPqIgNTIC...

A hill I will die on: all white-collar crimes are violent crimes. It's just that the violence is removed from the perpetrator because the perpetrator is wealthy.

Holy. Shit. They're literally saying Trump's felonies aren't that bad compared to the "real felonies". Bear in mind, they're ignoring J6 and "gimme 12000 votes" call and the stolen docs. We joke, but this is literally Newsmax copy.

I feel like it's a moral imperative that all of us terminally online weirdos must talk to a minimum of one (1) normal person about Project 2025 and back up that conversation with sources.

As a side note, this is John McEntee, Trump's Director of White House Personnel and the primary architect of Project 2025. On Tik Tok he said he gives counterfeit bills to homeless people so they will be arrested when they go to spend them.

turns out the villain monologue is actually incredibly realistic

Everyone watching any Bond movie: this is utterly unrealistic, no one would stand there and say exactly how they were going to do some awful thing, the Incredibles even made a joke about monologuing. Everyone experiencing reality: Oh. Oh, I see.
