@hfinyow @GottaLaff Oh, Canada. It must be nice to live in a country with real reporters!

I may have missed it, but I don’t recall a single reporter asking Trump if he worked with Netanyahu to delay the Gaza ceasefire until after the US elections… which he almost CERTAINLY did.

@aral Hmm, I don’t think you understand what a “fact” is. That is clearly just an opinion.

@GottaLaff For decades, Republicans have claimed they need to lower taxes to “help small businesses.” It’s their reason for every single handout to billionaires.

Now they are PROVING they never, ever, EVER gave a 💩 about small businesses.

@kims Good lord. That entire piece with Healy and Stephens mansplaining to an actual professor as if they know infinitely more than her. She is amazing. I loved this quote:

Cottom: I’m both a professor and someone who has studied higher education as a system. There are two things that overlap my professional experience and my expertise. One is how much we insist upon conflating a handful of elite colleges with all of “higher education,” when the vast majority of institutions are not particularly rich, elite or prestigious. The other is how much the beneficiaries of the small, powerful set of prestigious colleges and universities enjoy bashing the institutions they pay an arm and a leg to be affiliated with.

@GottaLaff LOL it was only a week ago that John Roberts warned about the EXTERNAL threats to judicial independence. Maybe he should have checked inside the building first…?

@GottaLaff Wow so they CAN get plea deals approved when they want to! Who could have guessed? Thank goodness for @emptywheel for exposing this 🐂💩 in real time when it was happening. If anybody wants to know why Hunter’s pardon was absolutely justified (and then some) please read her brilliant analyses.

@StillIRise1963 Pam Bondi, the nominee for Attorney General, gets $115K per MONTH from Qatar as a part-time lobbyist. PART TIME. You can be certain the rich will be able to buy their way out of any crime they commit if she’s in charge.

@persagen Racism and misogyny… not just for old white men anymore. Young white men, you can benefit from this cruelty as well!

Racism is taught behavior. And the MAKKKA parents have done a great job passing it along to the next generation of Nazis.

@SNerd @nfl Or, Mahomes was faking?

@feld ok here’s a link https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/69234255/virginia-coalition-for-immigrant-rights-v-beals/

@feld Why would you post a link and not actually read the information at that link? You are making a LOT of assertions despite not having even a fraction of the facts correct.

If you make assertions, and present links claiming that they back you up… it’s not anybody else’s job to screenshot your own sources for you. Be an adult and read before you link to something. Or just be proven wrong by posting links you didn’t bother to read thoroughly. Which seems to be what you’re happy to keep doing,

@feld YOU posted the link to the court docket. Go to your own link and actually READ it. Are you too lazy to do so? You would rather make false assertions instead of reading the information at a link YOU provided. Wow.

@feld I found lots of answers to all these questions just by reading the case. I recommend you do the same, because you are just digging yourself deeper and deeper.

Some people reported their situation to plaintiff(s) in the case. At least one went public, talking to NPR.

You claim that there are no names of affected parties in the court documents. That’s wrong, I’m looking at 2 right now.

The defendants refused to release info. So it became the job of the plaintiffs to try and find affected people. They managed to find a few, and provided that evidence in the case… But there is little doubt there are many more affected who either weren’t found, or didn’t want to come forward.

Seriously, try actually reading instead of starting with a preconceived notion and sticking to it no matter how much evidence is presented to you.

@feld You are either truly dedicated to spreading a lie, or just really bad at reading. In the initial court filing you linked, you can see why the names of disenfranchised voters aren’t available. The state of Virginia hasn’t released the info, which the plaintiffs point out. Read the first document in the docket, section 30.

I am suspicious not of people trying to protect their rights, but of somebody dedicated to spreading mistruths. What motivation is there for your campaign of disinformation? Paid by Trump’s campaign or a PAC perhaps? Please let us know. Thanks.

@feld Election disinformation is a serious problem. I take it seriously and I’m calling it out wherever it appears. Everybody that reads your post now knows that it’s false, and they can read the linked article for proof.

@feld Here’s a quote from that article: “At least 18 U.S. citizens were wrongly scrubbed from the voter rolls since the new policy took effect, according to voting rights groups including the League of Women Voters of Virginia that filed a lawsuit on Oct. 7 in federal court challenging the purge.‘ Refusing to read the article does not excuse you from spreading lies.

@feld This is a blatant lie. You know it is because you were told in other posts. Disinformation is not welcome in the fediverse, so fair warning: this will be reported.

@feld @augieray @BalooUriza “First they came for the socialists…”. Maybe you should look up the rest of that. I heard an interview with a woman who had her voting rights stolen by this Virginia initiative. If you checked the wrong box at the DMV when renewing your license, they can claim you aren’t a citizen anymore. Then the law requires them to send you a letter. If you don’t reply in 14 days, they revoke your registration! In her case (and many others) they moved and the letter didn’t get forwarded. Voting rights stolen, on purpose. If anything, we are UNDER reacting to this.
