Do we get a 70% Trump disapprove by November?
The Captain@thoreau.bsky.social · 21h agoNEW AP NORC Poll today puts Trump at 31% APPROVAL!! He is absolutely plummeting in the polls. and Democrats have a serious chance at a meaningful SENATE AND HOUSE MAJORITY. He's at net -28 overall in the @fiftyplusone.news average.
I have of course not seen the evidence but if Tish James took the case you have to figure they have enough to get several of the young men, at least one administrator and maybe some police.
It's so funny how Trump's case for Paxton is "He's an ugly moron and a jackass but he's our ugly moron and a jackass"
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 17h agoTrump campaigns for Ken Paxton in Texas: "He can be a pain in the ass sometimes, I'll be honest. Is he here, by the way? Oh, there he is. I didn't even know if he was here! I don't care."

The Next Day@incompetusrex.bsky.social · 22h agoI don’t think $0.38 on gas and $0.47 on diesel will be enough. It also seems several month too late.
If I went to Switzerland and won a Swiss watch precision contest, I would literally never talk about anything else
Katie Mack@astrokatie.com · 2d agoI went to Geneva a few weeks ago and spoke on a panel about the nature of time for a Geneva Watch Days event. While I was there, on a lark, I entered a competition to most precisely calibrate a Swiss watch. And today I found out that I won! 😃 www.instagram.com/reel/Dd6hUTB...

Semafor@semafor.com · 2d agoVisitors to the US are on track to drop by almost two million year-on-year. “We’re the only major country in the world losing visitation,” the head of the US Travel Association said. “It’s mind-boggling.” www.semafor.com/article/09/2...
The whole atmosphere must be DISINFECTED of ALL TAINT OF OPPOSITION TO THEM before they will CEASE TO BELIEVE that all their troubles proceed from US
This, and only this, will satisy them: Cease to call them wrong, and join them in calling themselves right Silence will not be tolerated We must place ourselves avowedly with them We must arrest and return their fugitive slaves with greedy pleasure We must pull down our free state constitutions

I know this raises hackles, but by those criteria firing squad is far and away one of the most (relatively) humane options they either need to be willing to put up and go there or to shut the fuck up and accept abolition
It is tragicomic how inept the people who commit executions in this country are, especially in southern states. Abolish the death penalty now.
