My commas are like my sarcasm, applied inappropriately, and far too often. Re-posts are not endorsements, usually, maybe.

My mother died in a red state in January. It took us 5 months, a meeting with a lawyer, and probably 100 phone calls to get an accurate death certificate mailed to us.

In red, and even purple states, the lack of (what blue states consider) basic public services is astounding. When you elect people into government, that hate the government, you end up with shitty, corrupt, and dysfunctional government. It's insane.

The brain worms are spreading. "Billionaire for President" is *not exactly* what the Dem base has been looking for. I have a hunch that his economic policies wouldn't be very middle and lower income friendly.

The people telling you that you're "overreacting" are the same people that have been slow-walking us into fascism for years. The slow-walking is over. We are entering the speed-running phase now.

It definitely shouldn't. man's whole life was ruined. We found this guy not guilty. It took us longer to fill out the paperwork than it did to reach the verdict. I was young, about 25 when this happened. I've never looked at our system the same since.

*If* you can afford bond. I was on a jury where the defendant sat in jail for 6 months awaiting trial, only for the state to produce experts that testified that: The fingerprints and footprints found DID NOT match those of the defendant. Police testified no witnesses saw the suspect at the scene.

With his new powers, Joe Biden should: Pull Donald Trump's *entire* Secret Service protection detail. Then tell Republicans that he had to send them to the southern border for national security reasons, as part of his core duties as President, of course.

A president supporting court packing for the explicit purpose of reigning in presidential power, including his own, after a Supreme Court made a wildly un-American, precedent-breaking decision to expand it, would be making the best case for a president to support court-packing.

For the "But Trump is incompetent" folks, Heritage Foundation will be in charge of replacing Federal employees (per Project 2025). Stephen Miller will be in charge of Cabinet appointments and White House staff. Mike Flynn wil be overseeing the Intelligence community and the Armed Forces.

It is *imperative* that anyone who can possibly vote in-person, do just that. Based on recent events, it is clear that the courts are poised to throw out as many ballots as possible. The low-hanging fruit is mail-in ballots.

I'm glad Biden spoke about SCOTUS' immunity ruling today from the White House. But at this point, the only statement I want to hear from him is "Give me a firm majority in the House and Senate in November and I'll expand the court."

To keep a steady flow of workers, they lobby for things like • abortion bans, • contraception bans, • lowering education standards, • keeping a college education unaffordable, etc. These things trap people in low paying, dangerous jobs, which means more profits for the shareholder class. 3/

• If the miner gets too sick to work, put his/her children and spouse to work. • Once they are working, they are trapped in the same cycle. • The mine owners lobby lawmakers to keep public services and social safety nets to a minimum. This keeps the desperation and financial instability going. 2/
