@Adman The worst worst part is that 45% of the country refuses to vote, which gives us minority rule by extremists thus continuing the slaughter of human lives over hate and fetishization of guns.
It’s beyond personal protection. It’s a fetish.

1. Across the country, right-wing activists and politicians are pushing to ban hundreds of books from libraries.

It started off with school libraries, but now there are efforts to remove books from public libraries as well

Then they ran into a problem: The First Amendment

The Roberts Court doesn't interpret the Constitution.

They impose their own extreme policies on the rest of the country, the Constitution be damned.

From Trump being indicted, to DeSantis being humiliated by Disney, to Finland being admitted to NATO, it has been a pretty good news day. And it is only 4:00 PM, Pacific.

Happy Indictment Day, Y’all!🥂

Sitting here rewatching Picket Fences on Hulu I’m just amazed how timely it was in the early 90s and how predictive it was to what’s happening now. Just a well written show all around.

I think it was a dare knowing it would also be profitable, give himself the news cycle and an attempt to spook Bragg into backing off, and so far it worked.

@auscandoc @mcnado thank you for the feedback 💚

Critical in response to last boosted toot: America does not keep falling for what Republicans are selling. WHITE Americans do.

Our fundamental political problem is racial. White people will destroy the entirety of democracy for a chance to fuck over Black and brown people.

That feeling when you wake up to read Fox News and Rupert Murdoch could face fines for espionage smaller than what they make in an hour

When the wealthy only face fines for corruption? There is no law for the wealthy.

Hugh Hefner was not really a hero or icon if you ask me but more like a public sexual pervert

❌ Eli Lilly lowers the cost of insulin in U.S.
✅ Eli Lilly reluctantly complies with Democratic law that caps out-of-pocket cost of insulin

Eli Lilly is a global corporation that actively participates and defends its role in the insulin oligopoly. Eli Lilly isn't capping the cost of jack squat. Eli Lilly was forced to stop exploiting patients－ that's the story, and the headline. Do better, editors.
