Good morning! It’s been a rough week of bad news out of Texas, shameless Supreme Court power grabs, and more media putting its thumb on the scale for Trump.
Don’t get too disheartened, though. We’ve been beating back traitors and fascists every couple of generations since this country was founded. It just happens to be our turn now. Are you up to the task? I know I fucking am.
Monday: The Liberal’s Prayer in full effect: May and yours be the victims of your ideology.
Republicans Are BIG MAD About Prison Conditions (Now That THEY'RE Going To Prison)
Tuesday: Republicans are a death cult and this is one of the worst things they’ve ever done.
Republican Abortion Ban Led To The Deaths Of Over 200 Texas Babies
Wednesday: Podcast!
Thursday: Alito, Thomas, and the rest are political animals waiting until after the election to murder more women.
Friday: I still can’t believe this is real. Thank you, everyone!
Friday: Am I mad that Biden had an off night? Not really. I’m fucking furious that the press is using it to help Donald Trump the convicted felon, though.
5 Things (plus 1*) That I Found Interesting This Week:
The MAGA GOP's “New Model” for America is the Old South - The Hartmann Report by Thom Hartmann
How right-wing media is legitimizing a nonsensical and nonexistent lawsuit - Public Notice by Aaron Rupar and Judd Legum
Democrats are the Party of the Working Class - Enough Already by D. Earl Stephens
Dirty Tricksters - Lorraine’s Substack - Lorraine Evanoff
Why won’t media sound the alarm that Trump is unhinged? - Stop The Presses by Mark Jacob
*The Imperial Judiciary - Today’s Edition Newsletter by Robert B. Hubbell
It’s funny - the SEDM described by Mr. Hartmann in his article sounds remarkably like the European Model of the 1200s, complete with a dominating religious structure and manor-born elite and a broad base of serfs tied to their masters by illiteracy and poverty. Coincidence? 🤔
I love the picture of Captain Von Trapp ripping up the Nazi flag. It’s my favorite scene in that movie. It may be time for theaters to start showing it again, as a reminder.
