Medium sized city in a very red part of a blue state: turnout was estimated to be 5000+ and huge amounts of support from honking drivers in the busy, adjacent multilane street, for 2 hours straight. Great energy/vibe, lots of outrage and creativity, and a very multi-generational turnout that shows that not just one age group hates MAGA, they ALL do.

Counter-demonstrators were next to none and getting shouted down. One Christofascist was dressed up like the Christ he's seen in picturebooks and was dragging around a replica of a full-sized cross and getting laughs and sneers for his efforts.

We're driving the Trump citizen-fascists underground, lets keep it up.

24-Year-Old Who Miscarried After Massive Public Pressure

Women need to "just say 'no'" to pressure campaigns. And Massive Public needs to get a different hobby.

The proposed changes to Georgia’s Open Records Act were tacked onto another bill, Senate Bill 12, late in the day Wednesday in the gatekeeping House Rules Committee, bypassing the usual legislative committee process and shortcutting public debate on the measure.

Under the new proposal, police departments would be able to shield almost all information about officers’ stops, arrests and incident responses, says Sarah Brewerton-Palmer, president of the Georgia First Amendment Foundation.

Additionally, the bill would create broad new exemptions to prevent public disclosure of the General Assembly’s activities, including communication with other parts of state government, she said.

I had the Covid shots too. They all had powerful side-effects. My whole life, I've never been able to catch measles. I didn't get sick from Covid. I probably won't die from measles now either. That's right, they took away muh Freedumb!

Yep, had my 1st measles shot in the mid-60s, a booster in '74, and now this year found (via a blood test) that my immunity had waned to a point that another shot was needed. Got it. Five stars, no pain, highly recommended.

How well would US Xian nationalists (Christofascists) get along with the CoE? Is the latter, like the former, actively attempting to acquire absolute power over social matters in their country? Would the two be of like minds w/respect to doctrine?

Slightly related perhaps, at least if you're an HBS grad.

Streisand effect time. I would never known about the book if not for this bit of news, but now I see that my library has it in their catalog though it's not yet available. Hold placed.

It’s difficult for Vetrini to see the rhetoric espoused by right-wing media and not feel hurt. Since going viral, Vetrini has been subject to vulgar and offensive comments from people who disagree with her perspective.

“Those comments are really hard to deal with, mentally. The hardest part is my dad feels the same way as these vitriolic commenters,” she said.

But she still recognizes the qualities in her father that remind her of Walz. Those are what keep her maintaining a “complicated” relationship with him.

After her TikTok went viral, Vetrini called her dad to tell him about it – hoping to hear it from her first rather than a news show.

“He responded exactly the way I would predict he would respond. Which was to remind me that socialism will ruin America,” she said.
