So Tiafoe, child of Sierra Leone refugees, is headed to US Open semis. I assume gems like Stephen & Katie Miller & former ICE goon Greg Bovino are in mourning, wondering how we prevent such a travesty from happening again. To further rub salt in the wound, he’s next facing a mixed-race opponent.

I’m always struck by the number of posts with people complaining about how terrible all the candidates are. Well, if you feel that way, run! Or serve as a talent scout to recruit “good candidates.” Not everyone is cut out to be (nor wants to be) a politician, so the options will always be limited.

AP on Trump now, and Biden in June 2022. For Trump, declining to 36 percent approval is “good news.” For Biden, holding steady at 41% is “a source of concern.”

Utterly deflating for all those voters who turned up to support Democrats around the country and felt at least some degree of power over their fate to now watch Democratic senators sell them out. So they’ll throw a little money into an FSA account instead? How much could that possibly cover?

Epstein & Maxwell’s victims are about to be victimized for the umpteenth time. There’s no way she doesn’t say whatever they want in hopes of a pardon. And remember, this is the pimp who said of the underage victims “they’re nothing..they’re trash.” A pardon would say the justice system agrees.

So when Third Way says it doesn’t want to go for small dollar donations does that mean by extension it thinks it can win without those voters? Seems penny UNwise and pound foolish. Also looks silly to disavow small-dollar donors while simultaneously claiming to be all about the “working class.”

Have there been any immigration raids in Texas yet? I suspect businesses highly dependent on their labor and whose owners/management talk glowingly about Trump won’t be touched. Quid pro quo.

The plan to stop & roll back all efforts toward battling climate change while simultaneously urging people to start making more babies is quite the take. Those pushing such a POV will be long gone but the oodles of kids they insist be born will be left to suffer on an increasingly unlivable planet.

The question now is with both X & Facebook becoming (or already being) cesspools of misinformation, how many platforms can fact/truth-tellers access to compete for such a big audience? That’s the challenge; Facebook & X have a juggernaut. I did my part (left both!) But it’s an uphill battle.
