@RepKimSchrier Leadership in the face of horrors requires a voice of moral clarity on human rights, not this shameful, weak-kneed equivocation.

The tremendous suffering in Gaza, on top of nearly 2 years of a war that Hamas inflicted on both Gazans and Israelis, must end. That means an immediate surge of humanitarian aid to civilians. Israel and the U.S. must make every attempt to safeguard innocents. Hamas must release every hostage to their loved ones in Israel immediately, so this war can finally come to a conclusion.

I'd never ever heard of this. Like, ever.

@peter_godman The Democrats support both democracy and capitalism. A traditional tactic of fascism is to pretend that all who stand in its way are communists. This 1945 U.S. Army pamphlet calls out the lie. bsky.app/profile/sethco…

The election where the choice is between democracy and capitalism.

@JRittereiser There are no serious challengers. Unserious ones and chaos agents would just wreak havoc. People already voted for the ticket including Harris.

Still feels like we should have a primary.

Must read. Let’s have a primary. nytimes.com/2024/07/07/opi…

@tdierks Append the domain name, too, for uniqueness.

#passwordtips: need a password for a new account? Use a common word, say "Cat", then add your Social Security number, with dashes. Now you have letters, numbers, and special characters; it's easy to remember, and you know that nobody else will use the same password.

@andrew_vanstee Maybe not so much.

@awprokop All coverage focusing on the individual as president is misdirecting readers from the far more important issue of the competence and integrity of the administration appointments.

@peter_godman @HeidiHutner A recent episode of the Volts podcast explores these perceptions really well. volts.wtf/p/nuclear-perh…

@HeidiHutner Because anti-nuclear folks work really hard to make it expensive, so that they can write posts about it being really expensive, so that they can stop it from happening, because religion.

@sanazahari May Google Voice users one day have secure and modern messaging as well. 🙏

@shane_burley1 The story says the GoFundMe for the 2019 incident appeared days after, but it actually was created within hours, or maybe even before the incident. Ngo had been describing attacks as a type of fundraiser before it occurred. dailykos.com/stories/2019/7…

New from me: Despite losing the trial, the defendants who won still have to pay $40k in court costs, and three defendants, who claim to have no connection to what Andy alleges, are still on the hook for a totalyof $300k. *thread* truthout.org/articles/right…

@drvolts Stop by REI and check out their quick-drying travel clothes.

@ariehkovler A corollary is that if RFK Jr's plan is to play spoiler against Democrats by later running as an independent, he could end up spoiling the GOP instead.

The irony is RFK Jr would actually have a decent shot in the GOP primary and would be well-placed to win the General as a Republican nominee.

@CliffMass The WSJ piece has more of the same silly notion that in extreme heat events, you can only attribute to climate change 2F because that is its average increase. 🙈

@salumsden @CliffMass Even if backed up, it’s just more cherrypicking to deny that the climate emergency is important. A wide variety of wildfire factors are influenced by climate, but he’ll call out one element to pretend that seeking urgent climate action is alarmism and unscientific.

@CliffMass "Current research suggests no." Can you elaborate more here? Share data? Back up your argument? Please?

@DanteAtkins Protecting the wealth of the richest is also a GOP requirement, hence the support for Putin's Russia rather than the USSR.

@tdierks Good use case for a temporary credit card number.

While paying this fine does not require a fax, it does require me writing my card number and CVV on a printout and mailing it to the court along with a self-addressed stamped envelope.

I'm not sure why I'm surprised, but it was surprisingly transactional for a lawyer to convert 48mph-in-a-30 into "unsafe opening of a vehicle door", 0 points.
