If Biden doesn't run in November, the Heritage Foundation and their allies will stage another Brooks Brothers Riot to keep the replacement Democrat candidate off the ballot in every state they can reach. They'll shop for Federalist Society judges and tie them up using procedural delays until after the election. The result will be a victory for Trump by default. If any cases *do* get to the supreme court, Clarence Thomas et al will rule in their own self-interest.

This is how you get a coup.

You don’t hear a lot of prominent women of color calling for Biden to step down. Here are a few reasons why:

1. Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson
2. Secretary of the Interior Deb Harland
3. Vice President Kamala Harris
4. More Black women appointed to federal circuit courts than all previous presidents combined
5. $16B in support for HBCUs

Think about who is calling for him to step down. Our job right now is to focus on reelecting Biden-Harris. If you care, that’s your job, too.

Convo between me and my Nigerian American dad a few years ago:

πŸ§”πŸΏβ€β™‚οΈHey Pops! How much do you know about cryptocurrency?

πŸ‘΄πŸΏ It sounds like scams. Is it scams?

πŸ§”πŸΏβ€β™‚οΈOK, so you know about crypto. Anyway, most countries have banned crypto mining, because it taxes energy grids. Texas' grid is already fragile, but your governor is inviting more crypto --

πŸ‘΄πŸΏSo we should buy a generator? Like in Nigeria?

πŸ§”πŸΏβ€β™‚οΈOr solar. Because crypto --

πŸ‘΄πŸΏ Why are you making the story so long? Crypto is scams. Buy generator.

I’d vote for someone who can’t finish a sentence over someone who should be serving one.

This election is "nothing short of a referendum on our 248-year democracy, and a choice between a trustworthy public servant who upholds American values and a serial liar who wants to push the country into authoritarianism."

My goal as a middle aged woman is to participate in trends in such a cringe way that it makes the trend itself cringey.

Has anyone watched the show "Geek Girl" on Netflix? I'm watching it now. The lead character is autistic. The circumstances aren't my life - I've never been a model - but the feelings, the struggles, the questions? Oh yeah, that's me.

8 July 1941 | A French Jewish boy, Charles Bernath, was born in Paris.

In September 1942 he was deported to Auschwitz and murdered in a gas chamber.

Shark Tank but, in this version, the investors are placed in literal tanks with sharks.

It should not even be this close, right? If the US were that serious, that mature, stable, law-abiding country as we like to claim ourselves to be, that racist, convicted felon would not be anywhere near a party nomination.

Putin is raining missiles down on Ukraine, while dumbfuck MAGA cultists want to make his greatest working asset the president of the United States, again. What a fuckin’ world.

That ecstatic feeling when voters defy right-wing media noise and turn out in unprecedented numbers to tell the fascists to crawl back into the sewers they crawled out of. Republique Square in Paris yesterday, photo by Olympia de Maismont.

Hopefully, after Joe Biden's latest statement on the matter they'll retract their calls for him to step down and start working to help keep the GOP from accruing anymore power for their #Project2025 Putsch.

"You'll never be unhoused in Americaβ€”if you're a car."

There are a quarter of a billion cars in the U.S.β€”and 2 billion parking spaces.

The nation now builds more 3-car garages than 1-bedroom apartments.

@GottaLaff @emptywheel As long as NYT and other MSM keeps flogging the Biden-is-old story 45 is happy not to be the center of attention. Starting to listen to his advisors, for once.
