A seasonal wave of #Covid is sweeping across the U.S., driven by the FLiRT variants, a trio of the latest #SARSCoV2 mutants making the rounds. So no, it's not your imagination. People are getting Covid again www.seattletimes.com/nation-world...

All of the people indulging in these fantasy Democratic primary scenarios think that people vote reflexively because it’s what they themselves do; they don’t realize that turnout is a product of hard work. Unseen, unheralded work. By unseen, unheralded people.

I don’t know why they think pissing off the door-knockers and canvassing power of the party will end well, but these people don’t understand what they refuse to see

So voting is better than *not* voting when it comes to getting what you want? Huh.

Every time KL does this, I discover half a dozen great new authors.

Anyway, if anyone wants book recommendations right now, tell me 2 writers you love & what you’re in the mood for.

Le Pen's party (RN) got 143 seats. While a record, that's far (very far) from the 289 they hoped for to govern. How?! Hundreds of Left & Macronist candidates dropped out to help each other block the RN. And millions of voters then voted strategically to get that job done.

I think billboards highlighting each chapter of Project 2025 placed in specific locations. For example the chapter on gutting military benefits should have billboards on highways near big military bases. Plans for destroying Social Security have billboards all over in Arizona and Florida.

Man i have been saying for a minute that voters everywhere are rejecting fascist shit and it’s only the media that makes us think otherwise, but it’s nice to see that in play right now

In France, the left coalition comes in first, Macron second, the far-right third. The best way to defeat fascism is not centrism, it’s a strong left.

If the Democratic Party could just unite like the French left and center did against Le Pen and the smarmy Bardella then we never would have had Trump or the threat of an authoritarian take over of the American republic in 2024 www.washingtonpost.com/world/2024/0...

"Executive Time" fell out of the coverage of Donald Trump in the most incredible way. Nobody writing about his quest to become president again ever mentions the fact that he hated the job when he had it and he couldn't and wouldn't really do it!

The discourse around biden needing more sleep is fully insane. Does no one remember "Executive Time," the thing Trump spent the majority(!) of his schedule on where he would just watch TV and tweet? Dude was categorically unable to fulfill any of the demands of the office and the press barely cared

I can’t explain how fucked up it is that Threads created a more hostile atmosphere to the New York Times than we did. Tony the Tiger brand humping website just beat our asses.

Wow. @nytimes.com has closed their Threads account and left the platform after days of getting just shredded in the replies for their handling of Biden post debate. Now they're getting dog piled on Instagram for running from Threads.

Still masking, still take a lot of selfies with my mask on.

I don't take a lot of mask-on selfies because I don't like how I look and also I spend as much time as I can outside anyway. But yeah, still masking indoors, in cars with someone other than my wife, or in crowds.

Artificial scarcity is an existential part of the Republican Party. Convince the working classes they must fight each other for pieces of the needlessly-small pie, while the GOP gets busy cutting taxes & creating new subsidies for billionaires.

The governors of a dozen Republican-led states — AL, AK, FL, GA, IA, MS, OK, SC, SD, TX, UT, WY — opted out of a new federal food assistance program, leaving about 9.5 million students without the aid this summer

Republican-led states are blocking summer food benefits for hungry familieswww.usatoday.com Money for food is especially tight for families in a dozen states where Republican lawmakers declined to accept federal food assistance.

On A1 today? When it came out on Thursday, I did a thread on Twitter and reprised a few bits here. More than her Vaseline-coated lens, I was upset about the ahistorical nature of the piece. Sort of a history textbook acting like the West was empty before settlers arrived. Nazis? Never heard of 'em.

I checked Kressin's CA home address. It's an hour and a half from Palmdale where Richard Butler moved from in the 1970s to found the Aryan Nations in a Coeur d'Alene suburb. Far from "new," this "resettling" is a continuing migration. tweet link: x.com/clancynewyor...

I know they get rolled all the time but for the Times to get rolled by “actually they just want to reclaim the values of Western civilization as they see it … with larger families and fewer immigrants” is the Times putting the 14 words in the paper

Isn't this one of the theories behind that kidney condition some farmworkers get California and florida?

By the time your 45 yo and in good condition, if your position puts you in outdoors for 8 hours the organ damage from our climate heat increase will begin to become visible. You may not have a diagnosed condition but the heart & lungs are working much harder than a 45 yo outdoor worker in 1974

Honest question: who is in charge of making sure abortion access is on the ballot in every single state? Who is running point on this?

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.

“They want to eliminate national parks” is a very simple way to get just about anyone on the Stop Project 2025 train. Are there much more glaring and life-threatening goals of P25? Yes but even your most bigoted cousin does not want to see the parks system sold for parts.

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