Two studies—one by Brooke Nichols (at BU) & the other by Charles Kenny & Justin Sandefur (at CGD)—both point to roughly the same mass death outcome: Musk’s killing of USAID (which he called “feeding USAID into the woodchipper”) led to about 700,000 deaths within one year (of whom 500,000 were kids)
Anthony L. Fisher@anthonylfisher.bsky.social · 6d agoThat’s the thing. DOGE didn’t dot any i’s or cross any t’s. They ransacked the govt illegally, destroyed careers, got many people killed, then burned all the documents on the way out the door. Demanding criminal investigations — including of libertarian-god-king Elon — is the moderate position.
This is what voter suppression looks like. Ohio Republicans passed a law allowing only ONE early vote location per county, no matter the county size or population. Shoutout to the people that waited in line for hours to vote. Vote for Amy Acton and Sherrod Brown Ohio, let’s have a Blue Wave!
Raskin: We now have the first-person accounts of five different women saying that they were sexually assaulted by Trump. And then we have another six women, for a total of 11, who link him to the whole network of sex trafficking of Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell.
Boarding a flight from Houston to SD. TSA is checking IDs at the gate and in the jetway. I asked if we were at an elevated threat level, and the agent said “we were told that we have to check every flight to San Diego every day.”
Tomorrow, we add our voices to a story that started long before us. Generations fought, marched, and organized so that the right to vote could belong to all of us. Now it's our turn to carry it forward. Your vote decides the future of our country.
A Canadian girl describes how the Rest of the World sees us under Trump, the Republicans and a Supreme Court protecting our military fascism. Did she get it right? ==============
In Orange County, California, ICE goons pulled out guns and shot pepper balls at people, also hitting children.
President Obama is all in to elect Abdul El-Sayed to the U.S. Senate. “This country belongs to all of us. Not just the wealthy or well-connected—everyone. That idea is under attack, and Michigan is where we fight back. That’s why I’m asking YOU to support Abdul El-Sayed for U.S. Senate.”
A good segment on Jen Psaki's show tonight: There's a state where this year Republicans funded a fake Green candidate and multiple fake Dem candidates, none of whom live in the state (one is in prison in NY) to pull votes from Democrats in Senate and House races. Want to guess the state? Alaska!
Holy shit‼️ So while Americans are struggling with the cost of living, Trump is reportedly preparing to drag us even deeper into another disastrous war. And apparently, the election is the only thing standing between us and his next round of military madness.
When Trump says “WE” are making a lot of money this is who he means
