Expanding the Supreme Court is legal, constitutional, and has happened before. Next time (if ever) Democrats are in a position to do it, they must stop the Court's attacks on democracy and expand the Supreme Court. It's much less "extreme" than allowing conservatives on the SC to destroy democracy.
Jeff Bezos has made CHOICES
He chose to buy the @washingtonpost
He chose, despite his conflicts, to intervene in the paper's editorial decisions and spike an endorsement of Harris
Bezos claims people who care about journalism have no choice but to accept his decisions — and trust his benevolent leadership
He's wrong
The Post employs tremendous journalists
But it is also possible to produce meaningful work without being under the thumb of a conflicted billionaire.
#PPOD: The first galaxy pictured here is NGC 4565, which, for obvious reasons, is also called the Needle Galaxy. First spotted in 1785 by Uranus' discoverer, Sir William Herschel (1738-1822), this is one of the most famous examples of an edge-on spiral galaxy. It is located some 30 million light-years away in the constellation Coma Berenices (Berenice's Hair). It displays a bright yellowish central bulge that juts out above the most impressive dust lanes.

"Biden administration officials are sweeping aside hundreds of reports of Israeli forces using U.S.-provided weapons to slaughter civilians in Gaza, new reporting finds, flouting the administration’s own policies regarding weapons to give Israel a pass.
"According to a new report by The Washington Post published Wednesday, the State Department has received nearly 500 reports of U.S. weapons being used in attacks that caused 'unnecessary harm' to civilians amid Israel’s genocide. But, despite policies requiring these reports to be urgently investigated, hundreds of the cases are still unresolved, former and current officials cited by the Post said."

Hmm, something seems a little... off.
Here is Special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese presenting her new report to the UN General Assembly today: youtube.com/watch?v=jFDhwmsToq…
"Gaza is now a wasteland of rubble, garbage and human remains, where survivors hold on to life amid widespread deprivation and disease."
She covers violence in West Bank and examines Israel's genocide through a triple lens approach.

ABOUT GEORGE W. BUSH
Dubya's grandda, Prescott, most likely bought his way out of a life in prison when his bank was closed down by FDR because he was the main banker to the Nazis.
this from the Guardian, back in 2004:
"How Bush's grandfather helped Hitler's rise to power"
theguardian.com/world/2004/sep…
the Senator for Connecticut got away with it and that ushered the era of USA nazis hiding in plain sight, in and outside the government.
The Bushes are literal architects of American #Fascism

I wish to clarify the remarks I made on @cspanwj this morning and apologize for any offense I may have given to the hard-working Americans who cultivate and distribute kumquats. I am well aware that kumquats, however tart they may be, provide a rich source of Vitamin C, dietary fiber, and various micronutrients.
My point was simply to highlight the comparative double standard applied by so many in critiquing the proposed policies of the major-party presidential candidates.
RE: threads.net/@aaron.rupar/post/…
.@gtconway3 on C-SPAN: "People are saying, 'Well, Kamala Harris was very unclear on her policy on kumquat farming.' It really is just a double standard created by the fact we've been watching an absolute lunatic who knows virtually nothing ... he's held to a lower standard"

I suggested Beeperz and my personal favorite, JRR Token.
But more seriously, I like the current name.
My new term (and prayer) for the election is "Appomattox." Followed by 'malice toward none and charity for all."
As the best Southerners thanked Blue America for rescuing them from eternal damnation, for slavery... you are rescuing the Republican Party. From the very same.
A UN report has stated that the RSF and allied militias have committed “staggering”levels of sexual violence during Sudan’s ongoing civil war.
The report alleged that victims have ranged between 8-75 in age, with widespread incidents of rape and sexual slavery observed.
Many of the cases were documented in the West Darfur region, where RSF troops regularly target Masalit civilians with ethnic killings. - Popular Front
your auntifa liza 🇵🇷 🦛 🦦
in reply to your auntifa liza 🇵🇷 🦛 🦦 • • •so when i tell you George Bush#1 was in cahoots with the Saudis to "soft" coup Jimmy Carter with:
1. Oil Embargo
2. OPEC Crisis
3. Iran Hostages
4. Iran-Contragate
5. Dollars for Oil
Y'ALL BETTER START PAYING ATTENTION BECAUSE I HAVE NOT BEEN WRONG ABOUT THIS FASCIST COUP SINCE 2015
what the petromafia did to Carter was a coup like nobody had seen. the crisis BushCo created ended up legitimizing Reagan, having him win in a landslide.
the petromafia will do it again with or without Trump
