Everything that's happening here just confirmed this poor kid was lynched by his own friends. Now every single white person in MS is trying to cover it up and ruin this family's lives.

Christine Wells Wonsley, the mother of Nolan Wells, has learned that the Mississippi Board of Nursing opened a professional misconduct investigation against her following an anonymous complaint, the family’s lawyer said. www.mississippifreepress.org/nolan-wells-...

Yeah, tell me polling as a thing isn't cooked after last night.

As we count the actual votes in the MI Senate D primary and look back at what polls were saying, I'm just going to point backwards to that TX Senate GE poll showing a 5% Talarico lead and encouraging people, once again, to not get their hopes up. My state will disappoint you and polls are bullshit.

Now look, Rep Max Miller pointing at how the police haven't arrested him and haven't charged him with anything? Is not a flex to anyone who has had an abusive partner or an abusive parent. My dad tried to murder my mom >0 times. He was arrested and charged with a crime 0 times. Cops protect abusers.

This guy is the dumbest man in America

🤯 Rep. Max Miller's interview with Jake Tapper was one of the most self-destructive things I've ever witnessed on cable news. Here's the whole thing:

I wish people in the country at large understood a simple truth which you know when you live in states like MO or TX or AL, MS, LA etc. We're already past democracy in these states. Your vote does not count and the elections are neither free nor fair. Not even a little. Feel like that should matter.

New: Missouri Secretary of State Hoskins, who dragged out his certification of a petition challenge to the state's new gerrymander until the very last day, now says the challenge is "insufficient." Not because there aren't enough signatures — there clearly are — but because it's "unconstitutional"

Yeah this jet? Approved by THIS pack of morons in DC? Death trap. People are gonna die.

The Washington Post@washingtonpost.com · 2d ago

After nearly a decade of review, the Federal Aviation Administration cleared Boeing’s 737 MAX-7 jet for production and eventual passenger service. The certification was delayed in the wake of two 737 Max jet crashes that killed 346 people.

Funny, up until now every health agency plus the entire media was saying this wasn't a fatal thing to worry about, just an unpleasant thing to try and avoid.

The first deaths linked to the nationwide cyclosporiasis outbreak have been reported in Michigan, where more than 11,000 people have fallen ill.

Anyone who fell for this kabuki theatre shit from these two, or thought for even one minute Blanche might not make it in or that these two would ACTUALLY show some amount of spine or backbone? Congratulations on being gullible as hell, come around to collect your prize.

REPUBLICAN SENATORS CORNYN AND TILLIS SAY THEY WILL SUPPORT TODD BLANCHE FOR AG

The fact medical science achieved a revolutionary milestone with the mRNA COVID vaccine which allowed the antivaxx folks to sit in the world we were given back and try to rewrite history to say the problem was the vaccine all along, I mean honestly it's literally insane. We were praying for it.

You know this is a dark time for trans rights, it just is. The assholes are driving the bus and they're trying to do as much as they can to bully and terrorize, and way too many people aren't willing to call it out. All I can recommend is endure, hold receipts, and never forgive or forget.

Anyone who falls for this is stupid or on the take

NEWS: Todd Blanche says he is rescinding his May 18 order establishing the “anti-weaponization fund”

It's sad and outrageous in equal measure both that we have a president that holds back federal disaster aid to states he personally dislikes, and that it's not a 24/7 media driven scandal. But, add this to the pile of things this one guy can do with impunity and no one bats a fucking eye I guess.

Yeah dude time to retire, fucking yikes. He's 0fer on endorsements by the way.

Bernie Sanders refuses to say whether he regrets endorsing Platner

Not sure if anyone realizes this yet but the Rs are just going to declare Mitch dead on Monday, immediately move to get some CHUD in that seat in some illegal way by Friday no matter what the weakass governor has to say, and pass the slush fund into law by the week after. Calling my shot right now.

It sucks SO MUCH that the Riley Gaines arc is now, seemingly, an established and recognized career move. The solution is to smother these people and refuse them oxygen in the news cycle but the MSM never met a kerfluffle they couldn't make louder to serve a bigot's ends.

The degree to which people and institutions are STILL kowtowing to these idiot bigots, who at best are 1/4 to 1/3 of the country, is as continually baffling as it is infuriating. They deserve to never know peace until they come to their senses. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

It's like yeah he was always racist, we've seen his parents fine sure. But he wasn't actively using a global communications platform to stoke race wars in foreign lands until somewhat recently. The internet loves flattening everything out so no context or circumstance can make them wrong ever.

Widow's Bay DSA@gonebabygone.bsky.social · last wk.

There’s a kind of guy on social media who acts like you’re a moron for believing in gradations. You say we’re teetering on fascism, they go “umm we were founded on genocide” You say Musk is having a racist breakdown they go “umm he was always racist” Truthers for the concept of things getting worse.

This guy gets paid WAY too much money to be driving himself fucking anywhere, let alone when he's had a few. Hire a fucking driver.

This is shaping up to be the greatest day in online Philadelphia history

To chip into the confirmation discourse happening today: when you're rules lawyering your affirmative vote for Trump pick for anything to us and explaining why that's the reason you don't own that vote and the results? Yeah miss me with it. No sale. You know a Don pick is bad because Don picked them

Is it possible a lot of why we are where we are in the US, politically, culturally and etc, is because the movie 300 turned out to be the most misunderstood, and thus most destructive piece of popular fiction of the last 30 years? Discuss.

Just call for a special election! Dare them to prove you can't because the seat is still filled with an alive person. Use the power you have.

Steven Beschloss@stevenbeschloss.bsky.social · 2w ago

The longer Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear fails to find out what’s happening or what happened with Mitch McConnell—and act—the more Beshear looks utterly incompetent and weak.

You know, I understand the idea that capitalism has utterly failed us and is in a state of deep decline and all that? But I feel the online left getting sucked down a drain of "Mao should be our North Star, actually" and I don't feel like enough good people are trying to stop it. Can we not?

What are your favorite adaptations that transcend their source material? Blade Runner springs to mind

Oh God...Central and South TX needs this thing to hook north and go away before it gets here really badly. The rivers already flooded, the lakes are full and there's nowhere for all this rain to go right now. People will die. Last year's floods started this way and without a flood the week before.

You'd think answering the question "Is a sitting Senator alive or dead?" would be easy, and yet...

Things really suck ass right now

Ossoff was right this is just blowing out sour grapes over the one election he lost into a profoundly cynical pretext to fully discredit elections generally in this country unless his party wins every time. This is easily the most cynical thing I've seen a sitting president do and that says a lot.
