Notice DOJ doesn't talk about its efforts to obtain state voter files anymore. They are 0-20 in those cases and today is the beginning of the quiet period -- states can no longer do systematic removals of names from the voter rolls. TLDR: We won!🥳

Max Miller released audio recordings of conversations he has with his ex wife. In one of them, she accuses him of clandestinely recording their conversations. “I have never recorded our conversations” he says, while recording their conversation. This is domestic violence. Ask me how I know.

I think it also revealed just how quickly a bunch of otherwise very hard problems can be to solve with global collective action. The fuckin Ganga was running clear water for the only time in my lifetime because for 2 weeks nobody threw garbage in it. The canals in Venice had fish.

Covid lockdowns demonstrated, in a deeply imperfect way, the possibility of large-scale social solidarity for a higher cause. That is a prime reason why so many powerful people want us to run screaming away from them into the comforting arms of selfish individualist competition.

So Tillis and Cornyn’s position is that the slush fund and IRS immunity is disgusting, illegal, immoral, and unethical but they are willing to confirm the man who agreed to it as Attorney General of the United States as long as he takes it back.

“Should Max Miller resign?” Jim Jordan: “He’s a good man. I’m helping him get re-elected.” Kasie: “He’s accused of throwing boiling water on his ex, held a gun to her head, fractured their daughter’s collarbone…”🤔 Jordan: *stammers helplessly as she plays his Platner comments*

What's tricky about the dual loyalty thing is that it *is* antisemitic to assume that every Jewish person, politician and institutional organization is loyal to the state of Israel. But also, a number of them...are! And pretending that they aren't makes the complaint look fundamentally disingenuous!

I think the thing is is that these people plainly do have a dual loyalty, they will openly state that they do, and it's just considered impolite to point it out.

yay... destroying the environment and water in Alberta, for a US company. In case you're wondering why US interests are funding 'separation' BS. And when it says 'tied to' below, it means 'owned by'. The other bus names were just created to 'own the asset' that is the Alberta coal mine.

Permits issued for Alberta coal mine expansion despite possible environmental destruction of watershed upstream from Edmonton. No need for regulatory hearing, says AER, or a federal impact assessment, says Liberal government #yeg #yyc #yql #abpoli #cdnpoli #pollution www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Considering how badly Covid was mishandled, they're probably going to regret the decision to make Fauci's personal diary and journal public. We're going to see how it was handled from the insider, from Fauci's point of view... based on you know...science.
