Now that I think of it, it's difficult for toddler bones to break. They're not nearly as ossified as older children and adults. That in itself should be damning to the situation.
Mother Jones@motherjones.com · 1h ago"A broken clavicle or collarbone in a toddler—very, very common." Watch Rep. Max Miller downplay his child's broken collarbone when questioned by Ohio detectives about domestic violence accusations in video footage obtained by Mother Jones.
God I hope others with the same proper knowledge and resources are doing the same. At least mirroring things before they go down.

Gaza pre 7/10 wasn't a concentration camp. Which isn't to say the situation was good, just or fair, it was none of those things. But not a concentration camp.

Another damn MSM article about Trump’s vandalism claim that omits the essential fact that it is delusional. There never was any vandalism of any kind. He just couldn’t accept his own fuck-up. And anyone who went along was just telling him what he wanted to hear. apnews.com/article/trum...
No evidence? No problem. Trump pushes ahead on false claims that Reflecting Pool was vandalized
Jeanine Pirro this week found out there’s a trade-off between loyalty to President Donald Trump and being loyal to reality.

It's not just MO, but everywhere. Poll after poll shows ppl love Dem policy but not the Dem label. This is the result of decades of propaganda from Limbaugh to Fox News etc. The failure of Dem leadership and Dem comms to combat this is the real problem, not the voters. Cut the victim blaming shit.

In the 80s hiking through woods in Jackson Co MO, I stubbed my foot on one half buried in mud. Since had it confirmed as "highly likely" Civil War by a local museum scholar. Ang Lee's "Ride With The Devil" was about that era in MO/KS. I keep it in an old tea cup. Basically a 6lb baseball ⚾
The New York Times@nytimes.com · 6d agoAt an airport in Alabama, TSA discovered five Civil War-era cannonballs in a passenger’s checked luggage.
PBS pointed out last night that the Trump admin has a long history of saying one thing in public and another thing in court. Fox News dutifully repeats whatever Trump says, unless it's about Smartmatic, a company that filed a $2 billion defamation suit against the network.
If they're not Far Side cartoons, they're often Aesop's Fables-ish.

Vision Zero Vancouver@visionzerovancouver.ca · 8h ago"The impact of being hit by an e-scooter could certainly result in life-altering injuries or death, especially for seniors.

Israel as a liberal/social democratic outpost standing against genocidal Arab conservative monarchies or authoritarian nationalist republics was very much the early narrative and the Palestinians themselves basically seen as irrelevant.
"But, I must admit, there is something to our headless structure as well. Authoritarians tend to simply jail opposition leaders, to great effect. Does anyone believe that simply jailing Chuck Schumer would do much to demobilize the American opposition?" www.liberalcurrents.com/editors-note...

Seth Cotlar@sethcotlar.bsky.social · 11h agoIn Tucker’s recent interview with his favorite Holocaust-denying “historian,” TC is shocked to learn that the Bolsheviks erected a statue to Judas in Moscow. The only problem is, there is no evidence that this ever happened. But who cares about evidence when you have a fascist narrative to push?
