sylver_dragon , in Arizona Supreme Court reinstates near-total abortion ban from 1864

Cynically, while being terrible in the short term, this may be a long term, positive outcome. Arizona is going to be an important state, electorally, for the 2024 Election. It's one of the few States which can reasonably be called a "toss-up". While it has been trending Democratic in the last few elections, that is not a guaranteed outcome. However, a total abortion ban and a ballot initiative to fix it may be really good at driving Democratic and Democratic Leaning voters to the poll. While there, they could well hand the State's 11 Electoral Votes to Biden as well as sending a Democrat to the US Senate. This is why:

Some Arizona Republicans also expressed concerns about the ruling.
Kari Lake, a close ally of Donald Trump and a Republican candidate for the state's seat in the US Senate, said she opposed the decision.

Polling has her just about tied with the Democratic candidate (Ruben Gallego). Anything which increases Democratic turnout is bad for her.

Horsey ,

reporting in from Pima County, AZ:

We're generally just shy here in Pima County of a 60/40 democratic lean. On the ground it feels like more and more people from Cali are moving in and voting blue all the way down ballot. Biden himself isn't very popular, but the Democratic policies are however very popular. I'm in my 30s, and nearly 60% of the people I know are voting blue, with people in Phoenix seemingly trending more blue since 2020. A down ballot abortion issue (it looks like it'll make the ballot in November) will absolutely cause a surge that will push the election over the edge as I know how pro-abortion most people are here. The Democratic Party here is running canvassing and getting people involved; I feel cautiously optimistic about us going blue again this cycle.

Yeah, we're going to look back on this era as the time when we still had good weather.

Devi , in Elephant kills 80-year-old US tourist in Zambia

That's so sad. People do tend to forget that this kind of thing is dangerous. The risks are low but they're definitely there.

I'd like to know what happened before the video started and if the tour guide was breaking any protocols.

Fuck Israel.

While it may not have been their direct intention to murder relief workers, the relief withdrawal certainly plays to Israel’s advantage.

phoneymouse ,

I mean, at this point haven’t enough innocent people died to satiate Israel’s thirst for blood? 1200 Israelis died. 30,000 innocents and now relief workers. Israel is even killing hostages themselves. It’s all so damn senseless. What the hell are they trying to achieve? What ever it is, it isn’t justified.

pennomi ,

Very close to 33,000 now, out of 2.1 million total residents, or 1.57% of all citizens. That is a terrifyingly high number.

livus ,

It is. In under 6 months it's already halfway to the percentage in the Bosnian Genocide, which was in 2 years.

DarkShaggy ,

Don't encourage them!!!

NoneOfUrBusiness ,

It definitely was. This was a precision strike.

pennomi ,

I mean there’s a lot of reasons why it could’ve been an accident. Most likely a breakdown in communication channels that mark the target as off-limits. Could also be intentional, of course.

But even IF it was an accident, it shows that Israel is not responsible enough to have these weapons, and the US should immediately stop sending more.

NoneOfUrBusiness ,

Most likely a breakdown in communication channels that mark the target as off-limits.

I mean that'd be possible if it was one time, but nope. More than 200 aid workers have been murdered by the IDF in Gaza.

style99 , in Trump is about to get $3 billion richer after deal is approved to take his company public. But it won’t solve his cash crunch | CNN Business
@style99@kbin.social avatar

The number of Truth Social’s US monthly active users on iOS and Android is down 39% year-over-year, according to Similarweb data shared with CNN earlier this month. Truth Social remains much smaller than X (formerly Twitter), which is also shrinking but at a slower pace.

And yet Trump Media is being valued north of $6 billion on a fully diluted basis, which includes all stocks and options that could be converted to common stock, according to Jay Ritter, a finance professor at the University of Florida.

Ritter said the current market price is hard, if not impossible, to justify.

“It is grossly overvalued,” said Ritter. “It qualifies as a meme stock for which the price is divorced from fundamental value…Meme stock investors are usually buying on the basis of the greater fool theory of investing: It is overvalued today, but I hope to make money selling it to an even greater fool tomorrow at an even higher price.”

This is the story of Trump's entire life.

unmagical ,

How do you discover that something is alleged? I get that you gotta slap that shit in there somewhere so ain't get sued, but why the fuck not "flight attendants allegedly discovered both pilots asleep in the cockpit."

CaptObvious , in U.S. Military Ship En Route to Gaza to Construct Port Infrastructure

Too little, too late?

NoneOfUrBusiness ,

I mean not too little if it actually works as intended, but probably roughly 1 million people dying to starvation too late given they'll take two months to build it.

CaptObvious ,

And not enough to salvage re-election campaigns in the US.

NoneOfUrBusiness ,

Biden has the lesser evil card, so he might have a chance if he salvages this mess and does a good job until November.
