Winning elections apparently means making#ClimateCrisis policies weaker 🤦🏻‍♀️. It shouldn’t.

“In a concession to automakers and labor unions, the Biden administration intends to relax elements of one of its most ambitious strategies to combat climate change, limits on tailpipe emissions that are designed to get Americans to switch from gas-powered cars to electric vehicles”

I agree with you in principle, but take the long view that another four year term, and more importantly, defeating the forces of fascism, makes some sacrifices necessary.

I stand by what I said earlier today.

I have not heard any evidence during the hearing that would justify DA #FaniWillis being disqualified.

Short of Trump, and current murderous dictators like Putin and Kim Jong Un, Musk is steadily, IMHO, making
himself one of the most

Georgia Congressman Casually Endorses Throwing Migrant From Helicopter 😶

And by referencing #Pinochet and his over the top cartel murder methods, Loudmouth Republican Representative Mike #Collins (GA) was “parroting a meme that’s been popular among #whitesupremacists & #neofascists like the #ProudBoys for the last 7 or so years.” Just buy HIM a ticket on Pinochet Air.

They're now saying out loud what they thought quietly in the past. Like we knew back from 2015, the orange turd has enabled these sick maggots (no offense to true maggots, still used in some medical procedures) to crawl out of the woodwork.

Wish i could share with you ladies some of the big pot of three grain, two fruit porridge I just began cooking. Don't normally eat breakfast so early, but missed supper last night, and I have zoom meeting at 11 that tends to run on and on.

Dear pals, 1/

TY for kind words over my non-existent COVID.

I’ve used “via” since 2006, learned it from newsies, never had issue b4 this

I use it bc takes up no space. Even “ takes up space, esp on threads you seem to apprec.

• time. When I post breaking news, even typing “ puts me behind while juggling coverage from multi-sources

• bc of 20K followers, wading thru replies takes an hour+ every am. I won’t ignore your replies, as someone sugg. I read/care about them.

Hope that helps❤️

E Jean's lawyers are simply awesome.

👀 Via Klasfeld:

News

#EJeanCarroll's lead attorney threatened SANCTIONS against Trump lawyer Alina #Habba over her "utterly baseless" claim that a federal judge had an undisclosed conflict of interest. #legal #Trump

Habba's conflict claim is based entirely on a single-anon source story in NY Post.

Carroll's lawyer ques how the tabloid came to publish it & if the supposed partner at Paul Weiss — the firm where she and the judge both worked— "even exists."
