The DeKalb GOP has announced it nominated Gail Lee and Bill Henderson. Both have been actively involved in the Elections Board proceedings, filing numerous unsuccessful challenges to voter eligibility.

THIS FUCKING GUY. Reinstating Medicaid asset limits, which kept elders and disabled people in a state of enforced poverty, is some outright cruel rightwing shit. This man is an embarrassment. Killing elders and disabled people for a 'balanced budget' is rancid.

The emperor is recruiting for stormtroopers

This is the reason I don't think having cameras everywhere is a good idea.

The pattern we're apparently not yet tired of: 1. Trump announces dumb thing that hurts ppl 2. Trump totally caves on dumb thing 3. Entire world laughs at Trump 4. Trump loudly declares victory 5. Men who can’t spell “you’re” praise Trump’s genius

Hey Fiona is a friend I like a lot and she's looking for a place to live. She's basically open to moving wherever in the US but needs a place with an open room. Anybody got one?

He's delusional

A lot of people are replying on the assumption that this is the Trump administration. This is an initiative of Governor Gavin Newsom. A $2K limit on assets in a state where that would not cover monthly rent for most.

Someone ask Gillibrand why she’s ignoring the serious charges against Andrew Cuomo when she insisted the comparatively minor allegations about Al Franken required him to step down

Please please let me be an NPC in your game please I want to be hanging out somewhere looking suspiciously nicely-rendered and standing out a little from the background while people hunt around and finally realize "Wait, can we talk to the beetle? Does it talk?"

This is literally just throwing trans folks into the dark maw of fascism and then lying about it. It’s genocide by another name. Third way democrats are just fascists in blue. They want the same people dead the republicans do they just want to do it “civilly”

100% boycott Nothing is worth supporting Rowling's hate agenda

the people here probably already know this but really spread this far and wide: tell your normal offline friends and family to stop using ChatGPT for legal advice. it's happening constantly now. I'm always explaining to people why the advice this silly thing gave them is not real legal advice.

funny how when the court wants to be activist it finds it easy to do so

Really interesting feature on nomadic people in Georgia (the country).

For decades, we’ve had a vicious cycle of 1) Republicans gain power & wreck the government & economy 2) Democrats win but can’t fix major problems due to GOP obstruction & an electoral system biased toward GOP 3) GOP wins back power by blaming Dems for problems the GOP largely caused 4) Repeat

A tiny but wild snapshot of the current chaos

@tkingfisher.com Saw this and thought of you Two artists' South African rock and succulent garden with many aloes It starts 40 minutes in I mean, the other gardens he shows are fine and all But this one ... Playing in the garden indeed www.youtube.com/watch?v=ShkZ...

Ok so I didn’t really need that in my adult beverage but thanks for sharing

Yes, I’m going to have some tea. For morale.

i do just need to remind everyone that as fun as this all is there is a rule that special government employees can legally serve in that capacity for 130 days and today is day 129

When it comes to my fellow permalancers, a lot of us (myself included) have our healthcare through the ACA Marketplace (on top of the myriad of other reasons this shouldn't pass). CALL YOUR REPS!

It's never too late to start wearing a mask again! Wear them in public, in almost any context but especially when you're indoors, when 50%+ others present aren't masking, if you're in close physical proximity with others, and/or if there's scant ventilation (including lack of wind outdoors).

Aside from the fact that anyone can get seriously ill from COVID, a key point they are deliberately hiding when removing access is that COVID vaccines reduce transmission. People choose to get vaccinated to protect other people. It is wrong and harmful to take that choice away.
