Not good. "The Proud Boys are back. Four years after the failed effort to overturn Trump’s 2020 electoral defeat, the violent all-male extremist group that led the storming of Congress on Jan. 6, 2021, is rebuilding and regaining strength as Trump campaigns to return to the White House..."
“If you are concerned and you want a justice that’s going to stand for the working men and women in this country—it’s not going to be Judge Alito. If you are concerned about women’s privacy rights, about the opportunity for women to gain fair employment in America—it’s not Judge Alito...if you are looking for someone that is going to be a friend of the disabled—it’s not going to be Judge Alito.”
Corporate #media works for the rich and powerful. Stop expecting them to care about the rest of us. They do not care. As long as you remember this, every story they write makes more sense.
An amazing theory of change I just received in my mentions:
"If Democrats, Liberals, Progressives, and Moderates all united and voted in EVERY election for Every Democrat against EVERY republicans, states like Texas would be Blue over night"

I noticed a landowner who had posted huge Trump display signs during the Indiana primary season had removed them after a NY Court found Trump guilty of 34 felonies.
The signs went back to advertising lots for sale.
Maybe having Trump plastered over your future homestead was appealing in the past, but not so much now.
In the last several election cycles, the signs were up from before the primary until after the general election.
“They’re going to let Mother Nature clean it up, and that’s a hell of a thing to say.”
From the archives, 2020: On the central #Texas coast, Lavaca Bay is already poisoned by mercury. Climate change will only make matters worse there—and at 944 other hazardous-waste sites across the country. https://www.texasobserver.org/superfund-texas/
'because #pregnancy is the result of "voluntary and consensual sexual intercourse," students should not be allowed time off to get abortions. If the students disobey and miss class for #abortion care, the filing continues, the professors should be allowed to flunk students. Additionally, Bonevac asserts that he has a right to refuse to employ a teaching assistant who has had an abortion, calling such women "criminals."'
Guess who said "A president under felony indictment would create a constitutional crisis"?? And that they should not be allowed to run for president because of it.
So my question to the person that said this is this, "what happens if that moron is actually convicted??" Should they allowed to be the nominee for their party?
Just a reminder that while one party spends on protecting voting rights the other marshals its legal assault to challenge election results - for an election that is months away - and disenfranchise voters.
Imperfect democracy vs authoritarianism is on the ballot this November. #VoteBlue if that matters to you.
“Trump’s entire persona is built around the facade that he is a powerful strongman, impervious to attacks and solely capable of defending his followers.
“Now he stands for election as a convict, a weak man too cowardly to take the stand who was bested by a local district attorney. The totalitarian edifice looks pockmarked.”
How America could vote for this weak, shouty, cry-baby is beyond me.
