My wife agrees that the smartest thing I've ever done, besides marrying her, was adopt siblings right before this election. Any time I need an instant hit of copium I can just go find out where these two are wrestling. Happy #caturday.
#BirdFlu is killing 2-5% of infected cows and cutting milk production by 20%. 875 herds across 16 states are spreading the bird flu back and forth between flocks. Workers are being thrown into cull infected flocks without protective equipment and being infected. Surveillance is inadequate. Market actors that might know better refuse to do their part without state insurance from losses for it, plenty more don't when the state does.
Palestinians can't live anywhere without having their homes raided by one security force or another. Here we are in Springfield, Virginia and somebody (nobody knows who) tagged a sidewalk with a peace slogan and the police round this family up in their living room for six hours only to file charges that get thrown out, while two of the kids are barred from campus for four years not by the university but by the cops.
The Harris campaign sacrificed any opportunity to remind voters of Trump's intimate friendship with Jeffrey Epstein so they could lob a Lolita Express frequent flyer and credibly accused rapist onto the campaign trail to defend the administration's genocide in Gaza with messianic zionist talking points about who got there first. In Michigan. To people whose family and friends had been recently murdered by Zionists armed with American weapons.
Student protesters are facing a corrupt insider-Democrat campaign of legal vengeance for speaking their minds on Gaza and CNN and the NYT are letting the dipshits who blew an election against an orange pinata filled with bats complain about how it's the students' fault.
How could Democrats have possibly run a campaign more oppositional to Palestinian rights than what just happened? They were calling the cops on the peace Seders and sponsoring genocide on the campaign trail!
The Democrat in Arizona who ran an unabashedly woke campaign is beating Kari Lake by 2.2% while Kari Lake outpaced Harris by 1.2%.
Baldwin kept her seat in Wisconsin. I guess the first LGBTQ+ Senator must have buried her girlfriend pretty far back in the closet to outrun the woke curse!
Slotkin voted on the woke side of every trans bill in Michigan and outran Harris to win that Senate seat too.
It should have been trivial for the Harris campaign to keep this community in the party. Offer a little respect, give them space to air their grievances and plead their case. Instead they called the cops on them, denied them their rights let alone a speaking slot at the DNC, and sent in fucking Bill Clinton to lie to them about Oslo and insult them with zionist claptrap, so you can hardly blame them for casting their sorry lot with Trump. At least they backed a winner.
"The candidate was a cop, we funded the police, built the wall, abandoned trans people to the Law, and told victims of genocide it was ordained by god, but Republicans still say we're too woke! What ever shall we do?"
"Why don't we send our campaign managers out to the press to validate the Republican attacks, that'll show voters that even if we are too woke we're not too haughty to criticize ourselves for being too woke."
"Man has survived hitherto because he was too ignorant to know how to realize his wishes. Now that he can realize them, he must either change them or perish."Profile picture alt text: Nelson Mandela Muntz Sr anchoring the news and armpit farting at camera one, then turning to camera two with another breaking armpit fart.
