Hope you all had a great weekend! Here’s a little collection of stuff I’ve run across lately.
When we think about 9/11, what we really need to remember is how evil our current political enemies are. (Side note: Whatever young, hip aura Kamala Harris had during 2020 is long gone)
They are paving the way to call their political opponents terrorists and preventing them from running from office. Even Nate Silver is in on the act.
And how do we deal with dangerous election-deniers? Certainly not by debating them and proving them wrong with logic and evidence! We’re fighting for democracy here! (Just not the kind where you inform your voters before they vote)
While we’re at it, we need to be able to see who’s buying guns!

And wouldn’t you know it? Those totally private companies independently decided to do what the governor was suggesting! No constitutional violations here or anything, just another reason to freeze your bank account.
You can now see the FBI’s file on Aretha Franklin. I’m sure the agency has since straightened up and only tracks the ‘bad’ people.
Finally, one of the most disgustingly racist videos I’ve seen recently:
First of all, she’s wildly incorrect. There are certainly white children who are NOT fine, and there are certainly BIPOC children who ARE fine. Assuming knowledge based on nothing but skin color has a name……..
But even if this lady were 100% correct and all the white kids are fine and the BIPOC kids are not fine, WHY ON EARTH IS THIS THE FAULT OF WHITE PARENTS? If ALL your kids are having problems, maybe the issue stems from the home life in which those kids are raised! (Or maybe telling these kids the deck is stacked against them and they will never succeed isn’t working so well?)
I guess now and then these people show you who they are.
I'm not surprised that they are turning the so-called "Patriot" Act on people domestically. I'm surprised it took them twenty years to get this blatant about it.
Some of us knew this would happen right from the start and it's why we don't trust either side with power.
So Hochul (and Elizabeth Warren and the other fascist Karens in on this) are claiming people are trafficking firearms by purchasing them at gun stores using credit cards? So you fill out the background check, get approved, buy however many firearms your state law allows per month, and then traffic them? I’m sorry, but it’s evident these horrible people don’t give a $hit about gun violence. They are either completely ignorant or (my vote) ruthlessly exploiting this platform to attack and handicap the people they perceive as their political foes precisely because they know how law abiding and respectful we are.
