How embarrassingly ironic that we let a minuscule minority of #sociopaths destroy the habitability of our #planet in their quest to profit from machines that think better than we do -- when the most important moral, ethical, and subjective questions can't be answered by machines because they mimic the sociopaths that built them.

"Nota bene: Donald Trump is a person who thinks it is entirely reasonable to fire people who ask for their overtime pay in favor of those who won’t. He’s made that clear. He is not on the side of the workers, he is on the side of the employers and always will be."
-- journalist Robyn Pennacchia

Russian law could ban the child-free lifestyle.
Russians who promote 'child-free movement' could soon face hefty fine, Putin says woman's purpose is to birth children and basically, being childless is a threat to national security and state longevity
They are trying to consolidate that the woman’s role boils down to exclusively bearing children

Sane Republicans are valuable for Harris, Georgia's former lieutenant governor praises her prowess & excoriates #TFG, in an op-ed for the Atlantic Journal-Constitution.

Trump's patriotism towards Putin has never been clearer.
Trump's plan for Ukraine was to roll over, play dead and capitulate to Putin.
Nearly three years after Putin's aggression and killing began, Trump continues to NOT BLAME RUSSIA, but blame President Zelensky and President Biden for DEFENDING their democracy and sovereign country
This video is perhaps the most vile ever recorded

The Biden-Harris admin record is outstanding:
The IRA has transformed the economy. The act invested “~$370B to combat climate change” -spurred “>$100B in prv. investment & ~100K new jobs created in clean energy MANU. The IRA & Chips Act offer >$400B in funds focused on jump starting MANU IDU, reducing emissions & providing cleaner electricity to the economy.”

When the very elderly become bedridden, their already fragile skin is prone to bedsores, even with the utmost attention to frequently turning their bodies to alleviate pressure. They must have other people clean and feed them.
I say this in recognition of the now heroic will to live long enough to cast his one, last vote for Kamala Harris, not to “score” some centennial goal.
That is the character of Jimmy Carter.
Everyone needs to vote for Democrats so we can return to normalcy, even if it's a compromise vote.
Staying home or voting for a third party candidate just perpetuates the slide into more authoritarianism.

Trump Says People Criticizing Supreme Court Justices Should Be Jailed
Donald Trump, who earlier this month threatened to jail his political opponents, said people who criticize SCOTUS should be jailed.Charisma Madarang (Rolling Stone)
So apparently the #Trump supporters are shooting at #Harris campaign offices now, and I think it really underlines something about the #violence that Trump has inspired this election cycle, and how there is this clear split in how it's being carried out.
Trump has inspired two people to shoot at him this summer: an anti-election anarchist, and an elderly man with a criminal record. While this is obviously really bad for reasons that have already been enumerated, it's also targeted entirely at a single person with power.
Trump has also inspired numerous people to shoot up schools, churches, synagogues, Walmarts, and now a Harris campaign office. These pro-Trump shooters aren't even targeting people who might have the power to do something, they're just targeting bystanders.
I hope this doesn't scare people away from publicly showing support for Harris, and that people remember that, if nothing else, they can't see who you vote for.

"Voters need to never leave any line on their ballot blank. That's a big part of the problem here. Especially in presidential years. We know that a lot of people will go to vote for the Democratic candidate and leave the other lines blank, especially judicial races.
If they want to continue having a functional representative democracy, they need to fill in every bubble in every race on that ballot, or else they are going to inadvertently relinquish their own ability to act as citizens engaged in democratic self-governance."

He is sworn in on January 20.
He pardons himself.
[EDIT: Oops, he can't pardon himself for state conviction! See below.]
Five Supreme Court justices say that's perfectly fine.
The Republicans in Congress refuse to impeach him or, if he is impeached, to convict him.
Whether or not the GOP controls Congress, the damage he will do in his second term is incalculable.

While the 649-page document names every identified Palestinian killed in Gaza, many of those killed cannot be identified.
