61 years after the Voting Rights Act became law, Texans are still fighting to be counted at the ballot box. Yesterday, the voice of the people was so loud that the Tarrant County Commissioners Court had no choice but to table their attempt to cut polling locations before the midterm election.

i think el-sayed winning the michigan senate primary will permanently break the brains that were being held together by string since mamdani

Trying to lift weights a bit tonight to balance out my hormone levels (hard @ 47). I’ll try to get some sleep tonight & get up early for SOME cardio tmrw. It’s been hard to reach calorie deficit. Will try an #Asclepius ritual around the lunar eclipse, conjunct natal Asclepius asteroid. #astrology

Dozens of gas-burning power plants are being built across the country, solely to power data centers. These plants could emit as much planet-warming pollution as half of all passenger vehicles in the entire country in a single YEAR. We need a data center moratorium — now.

A 60 Minutes probe into Epstein's banking, with Wyden already interviewed, vanished right after Sharyn Alfonsi got pushed out under Bari Weiss. Same editor who stalled the CECOT migrant story until Stephen Miller got a say. CBS keeps calling it timing. Sure looks like a pattern.

Wyden revealed he was interviewed for the show in a Senate report alleging the country's largest banks turned “a blind eye” to Epstein's financial activity

TAPPER: Hold on -- hold on, 'cause I'm not done with the list of women who have accused you of violence. Are all three of them lying? REP. MAX MILLER: Yes. And I'm not getting out of the race because in 2016, President Donald J Trump faced the most extreme allegations in the world ...

“Hey honey, the Mafia Reality Show is on! Low-T Max just told Moreno to shut his mouth if he knows what’s good for him! Hey are we registered to vote? I don’t want to see him when season 2027 starts.”

whoa -- Max Miller on CNN threatens Sen. Bernie Moreno with "exposing a deeply and personal embarrassing matter" after Moreno called for his resignation

Cornyn: "As to the idea it could be revived in the future, I think it's highly unlikely that could happen without the cooperation of the DOJ. And I think Mr Blanche gave us the assurances that it was dead and would not be revived and in this case we have no alternative but to take his word" 🙃

It’s been far too long since I had a good rant on the field of #gifted studies & #giftedness, so I thought I’d share my thoughts on an article from, of course, someone not in the field: open.substack.com/pub/sarahswe... #GATE #TAG #intelligence

HUGE: Under Mayor Mamdani, New York City just recorded its safest first 7 months of a year in history—and its safest July ever. In July: Major crime dropped 13% Murder dropped 32% Robberies dropped 15% Vehicle thefts dropped 25% Democratic mayors are putting public safety first.

11 years ago today, Ken Paxton surrendered at the Collin County Jail on felony securities fraud charges. This is his mugshot.

When Uber Eats and DoorDash hid the tip button, delivery workers paid the price. Tips fell by 79%. In January, we changed that. Since then, more than $104 million has gone back into the pockets of the delivery workers who keep New York City fed.

Its embarrassing how many grown ass adults live in these fantasies where people work for some nonsense like the artificial cultures oligarchs manufacture over survival.

Voters: "My two biggest concerns are crime and the economy, this is why I will vote for the criminal party who crash the economy every time."

Not my native Asteroid Asclepius being the exact location of the lunar eclipse, ruled by my Jupiter in the 1st, and me already planning an Asclepius invocation during this eclipse season, which also coincides with my #Jupiter return! 😭😭😭 #astrology #astrosky

The lunar eclipse at the end of this month hits my 8th house of dying, which I'm not looking forward to either. But as my wife says: "Don't borrow trouble." If the weather forecast calls for rain, bring an umbrella. So I may go out and do some purification ceremonies this week, I'm not sure. /4

GOOD NEWS! A new cancer treatment has demonstrated unprecedented results in a large trial for cancer patients whose disease has become resistant to chemotherapy AND immunotherapy. Tumors shrank in OVER a third of participants, with 15 patients experiencing COMPLETE eradication of their tumors.

Life update (with an #astrology angle), a 🧵: It's 9 days until an eclipse in my 1st house of self & body. Eclipses are a time when the luminaries--the sun and the moon--afflict each other, the moon afflicting the sun in the case of a solar eclipse, and the reverse during a lunar eclipse. /1

Yup. You did. And cancer research for children was first to go.

I'm going to alienate some people now. Abortion is a critical part of gynecological care. Full stop. Hormonal birth control is used by many individuals simply to regulate difficult menstrual cycles. Legislators who don't understand the minutiae of reproductive biology should SHUT THE FUCK UP.

Corporate spending on elections has already topped $500 million this year. That's one third of the $1.58 billion in total that corporations have spent since Citizens United in 2010. Hawaii and Montana both have plans to neutralize this disastrous SCOTUS ruling. Other states must get on board.
