➡️ You stood by [Trump] after he was accused of rape

Happy Moldovan Independence Day! 🇲🇩

Expelling Russian occupiers from Moldova is another of the preconditions for peace being restored to Europe. This crime of aggression by Russia has been ignored for 31 years.

Imagine if trains were so frequent you could say "oh this train is really busy, I'll wait 15 mins and take the next one" all because the train service was so frequent you never needed to worry about a time table. There were no advance tickets, so you didn't have to stress about catching that one train you booked. Just walk onto the platform and get on the first train to your destination that met your balance of arrival time and busyness.

“‘He was targeting people based on their race. That is totally unacceptable,’ DeSantis said.”

Hey, Ron. It’s entirely acceptable in your party. The Republican Party in your state and every state across the US cultivates hate, fosters hate, and rewards hate based on race.

Whether it's eliminating or watering down Black history or gerrymandering to strip Black political power, the message Republicans are sending is clear. And people like this pick up on it.

Young people: The GOP is floating an amendment to raise the voting age from 18 to 25. Vivek Ramaswamy is openly promoting it. They’re scared of your votes and want to silence you. Act appropriately in 2024.

"Due to the war in #Ukraine, we decided at one point not to sell these F-16 fighters, but to keep them available. Now, we are transferring almost all of them to Ukraine, except for a few aircraft that will be used for the training of Ukrainian pilots. In total, we have 42 aircraft. A small portion of them will be used for training, and the rest will go to the Armed Forces of Ukraine."

If it was about money, corporations wouldn’t spend more than $400 million a YEAR union busting.

They’re literally so scared of worker power.

Oh, so-and-so gave millions to charity? I don't care.

I will be impressed when they give up ownership of their companies to the workers and put literally all of their money toward fighting climate change.

In other words, when they are no longer billionaires.

City of Hope in Duarte, California, has maintained masking requirements, and this has prevented hospital-acquired #COVID19 there entirely, according to Vijay Trisal, MD, chief medical officer at City of Hope.

“Our policies enabled us to achieve zero nosocomial infections, zero outbreaks.”

Lock Him Up? A New Poll Has Some Bad News for Trump -

A new POLITICO Magazine/Ipsos poll provides some bad news for Trump: Even as he remains the clear frontrunner for the Republican nomination, the cascading indictments are likely to take a toll on his general election prospects.

The survey results suggest Americans are taking the cases seriously — particularly the Justice Department’s 2020 election case — and that most people are skeptical of Trump’s claim to be the victim of a legally baseless witch hunt or an elaborate, multi-jurisdictional effort to “weaponize” law enforcement authorities against him.

Furthermore, public sentiment in certain areas — including how quickly to hold a trial and whether to incarcerate Trump if he’s convicted — is moving against the former president when compared to a previous POLITICO Magazine/Ipsos poll conducted in June.

US “strongly condemns the Hong Kong authorities’ ongoing harassment of family members in Hong Kong of democracy advocates living overseas, who are being targeted simply for their association with their loved ones.”

Exciting #news for folks seeking to start a #union! From an NLRB press release this morning :

"...if an employer who seeks an election commits any unfair labor practice that would require setting aside the election, the petition will be dismissed, and—rather than re-running the election—the Board will order the employer to recognize and bargain with the union."

Given how common intimidation attempts have become, in tech especially, this sounds like a big deal. #labor
