As does Supreme Court kingmaker Leonard Leo, who has stacked the court with Catholics who either belong to Opus Dei or are thickly connected to it. Opus Dei was born in pro-fascist reactions to communism in Spain, and uses stealth and money to push theocracy.

Paul Waldman on why Kamala Harris' laugh enrages Trump and Republicans:

"Harris’ laugh clearly fills conservatives with fear; to paraphrase Margaret Atwood, men are afraid that women will laugh at them, while women are afraid men will kill them. …

"When you laugh you’re momentarily not in control; you might even reveal some part of yourself. This is what Trump and others on the right hate about Harris’s laugh: She thinks she has the right to laugh whether they like it or not, and not behind her hand with a little 'tee-hee-hee' but with real joy. That makes her 'crazy,' as Trump says; a woman who laughs must be a lunatic, or maybe a witch with terrifying powers."

"On Sunday, just hours after the historic announcement, a group called Win With Black Women, founded by Jotaka Eaddy in 2020, organized a Zoom call that drew 44,000 viewers on Zoom and a total of 90,000 across various platforms.

Within three hours they raised $1.5 million for Kamala Harris’ presidential campaign.

Black men followed suit the next day, and I was on the call with more than 20,000 other Black men for the Win With Black Men event."

It’s Schadenfriday, so let’s review and enjoy the truly terrible week Trump is having. …

Trump may not have grasped it yet, but Harris’s meteoric rise not just in politics but as a pop culture icon will soon rival or even eclipse his own, especially with him stuck in the same grinding, rambling and grievance-laden speeches."

"Harris is ready to put that passion [for labor rights] on display as the Democratic nominee. If she couples it with an embrace of Biden’s call to tax the rich in order to expand Social Security, end medical debt, and otherwise tip the balance in favor of working Americans, alongside her commitment to defend abortion rights and democracy, she will be Trump’s worst nightmare."

"In a bid to discredit Chris Wray, Donald Trump has invited journalists to (finally) start demanding the medical records from his post-shooting hospital visit. ...

If Trump is going to make claims about what the hospital report says, then by all means he can ask them to release his records, including the CT scan results, and give a press conference."

"Perhaps now — almost two weeks after the attack — journalists will start asking him for those records? …

It is inexcusable that Trump’s failure to share his medical records has been largely ignored, even as the same press scrum was chasing conspiracy theories that Biden was hiding a Parkinson’s diagnosis."

"Trump did not like what Christopher Wray had to say about the shooting at a Pennsylvania rally. ...

I n the nearly two weeks since the attack, Trump’s team has not released an official medical report on Trump’s injury, only a memo from Trump’s former White House physician, Texas Representative Ronny Jackson. Still, Trump has continued to double down on his claims that it had been a bullet that grazed his ear."

Authoritarians use children as hostages to their parents good behavior.

Innocents are used in political pressure games. Threatened. Followed. Biden's children were menaced. Diaries stolen. Arrested.

Children were threatened at school. Trump's people have done it repeatedly to judges, prosecutors, elections officials, opponents,.

Child separation & child theft is also a tactic of indoctrination. Russia has used that to good effect for a century. So did Stephen Miller.
Hmmm. So Vance wants to treat someone that's childless as 3/5s of a person.

Now I wonder where have I heard that before? 🤔

Uh Oh!!! Damage is permanent

By law, all bikes should have a decently loud bell.
And cyclist should be given a mandatory 3-day training on how to use said bell 😀

@uberprutser Some research was shared with me (but I can’t find it now! ) that the available bells are of the wrong frequency and are in fact ineffective at announcing approach. Need to be lower frequency.

And, as others have noticed, the ear buds filter out any warning. Even if I yell “on your left”.



The musical moments (so far) during the Olympic Opening Ceremony in Paris


The rainy opening ceremony featured a Parisian performance from Lady Gaga, a heavy metal moment with a headless Marie Antoinette and a golden performance from one of France's most popular performers.

"“As it always does, the press has been digging up the VP choice’s comments over the years for political scrutiny, and the Ohio Senator turns out to be a target-rich environment.”"

Police departments are offering big raises. Does it work?


Police officers in many U.S. cities have recently gotten large pay boosts. Departments are offering these raises to combat understaffing, but some say the money won’t help.
