Via Americablog, I picked up on Editor & Publisher confirming that the person who briefed Shrub on the infamous August 6, 2001 PDB (the Presidential Daily Brief entitled “Bin Laden Determined To Attack Inside the US”) was his new Supreme Court nominee Harriet “I don’t need no steenking judge experience!” Miers. No word yet on whether she helped Chimpy sound out the big words.
There was a fantastic turnout on 6th Street for the No Kings Day protest in Grants Pass, Oregon. Protestors lined the block in front of the Josephine County Courthouse, where 63% of voters picked Donald Trump in 2024.
Wisconsin’s Democratic Gov. Tony Evers creatively used his veto powers to make a Republican-approved education budget increase last for four-hundred years, and the liberal state Supreme Court has okayed it.
This year, Idaho legislators tackled a vexing problem. Some places in the state were flying the rainbow flag, the symbol of gay pride! Determined to ensure that visitors to The Handmaid State didn’t confuse Idaho as a place that would be welcoming of LGBT people, they passed House Bill 96, which only allows the American flag, the Idaho (or other states’) flag, the city flag, and military flags to be displayed by any government entity.
I used to be a Twitter power user (22K followers), but since Elon Musk turned it into a Nazi pub, I then migrated to Threads, until Mark Zuckerberg began throttling political speech and forced me off that, Facebook, and Instagram. Then TikTok went and kissed the Felon’s ring, so bye bye, there, too. You can find me primarily now on BlueSky, where I’m verified as @RadicalRuss.com. I’m also on Mastodon, kinda, and YouTube with our live stream and video archive.
