Ohio GOP is corrupt, turn OH Blue! MSM let us down, it's up to us to get informed & pool resources to find the truth. Not an attorney.

capitolhunters: To everyone appalled by NYT's July 4 op-ed "Why I don't vote. And maybe you shouldn't either", note that 1) author Matthew Walther DID vote in both 2020 and 2022, and 2) he's an extremist Catholic graduate of Hillsdale College, part of the religious-right faction behind Jan 6. lol💀

"The penchant of the conservative justices of today’s court for substituting their beliefs for decisions of earlier courts has also forever marked Roberts Court as one of the most activist courts in American history... obliterated guardrails needed to protect our democracy & the ppl’s sovereignty."

"...Putin's buddies kick back some of the extra money they charge the state to the president himself. "That's what makes Vladimir Putin one of the wealthiest people on the planet. Nobody knows exactly how wealthy, but that's one of the key processes." You know, TFG could rob every last one of us.

So much stupidity repeating itself throughout history & education is the only answer. Yet most of my (Gen X) life, they've chipped away at those building blocks - the opposite of what we need to combat misinformation. Some are here to divide us further & keep us reacting, but we're busy learning.

My cats are laying low today, we had fireworks going off next to my house until very late. Pushing the impulse to frame this as the last 4th under democracy out of my thoughts. Don't feel like celebrating, but will talk w/folks later. Hope you tell ur ppl about saving America from Authoritarianism.

Neighbors have been at the fireworks all night so I'm waiting for it to stop. But it sounds like an elder statesman to me. His grasp on a wide range of topics is clear & coherent. No word salad.

I can't watch these w/o getting irked at the reporters/pundits. The needling questions about something Biden said during the debate are misdirected. TFG stood there & lied the whole time. They ignore those lies but come after a detail Biden said. Someone tell them they're mad at their own impotence.

SCOTUS justices gave immunity w/o being certain of a 2nd TFG term? I don't believe them. Nor do I trust these new cogs laid out neatly in their Project 2025 slots. There's a lot of confident sneering going on within this anti-democratic commiseration. The smugness of fascists has a distinct scent.
