100% we'd love to see more people drop Twitter completely and move to the decentralised alternatives, but a lot of people (especially nonprofit orgs we hope to work with) can't do that.

Until then, we'll be encouraging them to try it out so making the move comes easier later.

The Obamas endorsed Kamala Harris bright and early this morning. Here’s their statement:
THE OFFICE OF BARACK AND
MICHELLE OBAMA
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
July 26, 2024
Statement by President Obama and Mrs. Obama
Endorsing Vice President Kamala Harris
This week, we got a chance to catch up with a friend who we've known for more than 20 years.  … We couldn't be more excited for her -- or more thrilled to
endorse Kamala Harris as the Democratic nominee for
President.
We agree with President Biden -- choosing Kamala was one of the best decisions he's made. She has the resume to prove it: As a prosecutor, she defended the Constitution and fought for folks who deserve a fair shake. As California's AG, she worked hard to ensure everyone was treated fairly, no matter who they are or who they love. As a Senator, she was one of the strongest voices holding the Trump administration accountable. And, as Vice President, she helped lead the charge on expanding the Affordable Care Act, combating climate change, fighting for reproductive freedom, equality, and the rule of law.
But Kamala has more than a resume. She has the
vision, the character, and the strength that this critical moment demands. There is no doubt in our mind that
Kamala Harris has exactly what it takes to win this election and deliver for the American people. At a time when the stakes have never been higher, she gives us all reason to hope.
We know over the next few months, Kamala will continue to make her case directly to the American
people - Democrats, Republicans, and independents alike. As she does, she will have our full support - and we look forward to watching her unite our party and our country around a vision for a brighter, fairer, more prosperous future.
We're going to do everything we can to elect Kamala Harris the next President of the United States. And we
hope you'll join us.

With so much attention on individual politicians’ temperaments and on the country’s political temperature generally, it’s easy to forget that US governance is based around structures. These structures are being undermined, but they also have design flaws, if you will, that have been present from the start--as explored in a new book by this week's CounterSpin guest.

In my case, it was my dad's youngest brother. When I was a kid he was interesting and clever; he was an electronics engineer, and used to help me with physics homework. Then toward the end of his life he became a full-on extreme-right nut-job with all the faux-patriotic "lest we forget" crap, and it was so sad to me. His kids, my cousins, were infected with it as well, so I've lost them and their families as well. Sad.

You know how i *know* #CollectiveEconomicAction scares #capitalism more than violent uprisings do?
Because media never talks about it, but loves to hype the threat of violent overthrow.
Plus, violence is always profitable to the billionaires, and Strikes+Boycotts+Community deprives billionaires of what they need in order to stay On Top.
Seems obvious what we need is to boycott selectively first, then across the board once we dismantle the worst offenders.

#Poilievre is trying to make a mountain out of a decriminalization molehill. What he says is a secret plan to decriminalize hard drugs was posted onto an open government website, and only states that the Trudeau government will work with any jurisdiction that wants to use decriminalization to reduce opioid deaths in the area. It isn't a national plan at all. #CanPoli #CDNPoli

@crispius I think the part to 🙄 at isn't the decriminalization side, it's the idea that this is a "secret plan" that Trudeau is going to "force" on the country.

This is (at least) the second time this year that the cons have run the "secret Liberal plans" script, and rather than explaining every time how gov't works, the response needs to be making fun of them for being fools.

I have plenty of prejudice. It's okay. You do too, and that doesn't mean you're a bad person. What decides your character is what you choose to do about it. Fight against it. Choose to reject the easy route and actively work to counter your own prejudices. In fact, you should assume that everything you think and do is informed by your prejudices, and adjust accordingly. It's not easy, and you're going to fuck up. I do all the goddamn time. But that doesn't mean you shouldn't try every goddamn time.

We can all be better than we are. That's terrifying and awesome and hard and impossible some days, but it's worth it when you break down some part of yourself and realize what that wall was hiding from you.

And fuck it, even if you get nothing out of doing the work, you've got to do it anyway because that's what you have to do. Because other people matter too. If they stop mattering, what's the point?

TIL that in the 1630s there was a song only played in the Sistine Chapel. The Vatican kept the composition of "Miserere Mei, Deus" secret for 140 years until 14-year-old Mozart listened to it 2 times, transcribed it from memory, and produced one of the earliest records of musical piracy.

By that time it would have become public domain even in the US, so no piracy.

".... could have also landed somewhere else. But I believe we’ve accounted for all of the shots in the cartridges."

I hate being right. I kept hammering on number of shots, who was standing where, who got hit in what order, because it tells us what Crooks was aiming at and if he misjudged windage/bullet drop or was just a shitty marksman.

If we know how many shots were fired, then we'd better find an equivalent number of bullets. Behind DJT was a grandstand of people on a stair-stepped stage, but only four out of 5-10 shots hit anything? Where are the other bullets? Did someone from the campaign conceal evidence to support the courageous-hero-rising-defiant-and-unbowed narrative?

These are details I would expect the FBI/USSS to know.

So I'm sitting down, weeding my pollinator garden (I'm plagued with crabgrass but I refused to spray, paranoid about chemicals hurting bees and honey) and my husband says, "See I'd have no idea what was a weed."

Russia would lose up to 1.8 million troops and take 5 years to capture the 4 Ukrainian regions it wants: UK army chief

I am afraid Putin will see this as a bargain.
Gen. Sir Roly Walker said he'd based his estimation on the "current rate of attrition of dead and wounded" faced by Moscow's forces in Ukraine, according to UK media. [...] "If they carry on as they are, it would probably take the Russians five years to grind their way to their minimum objectives of the four oblasts," he added, referring to Donetsk, Luhansk, Kherson, and Zaporizhzhia.

It's only 2024 though, and federal judges still let you sue when Texas does it. This one is even a Trump appointee, but we'll still be much safer with VP Harris-nominated judges.
