28%? Seriously? That is utterly horrendous! Anything near 10% is really bad. This is insane.

ZOMG John Roberts is such a hero!

No. No he isn’t. He’s a fucking monster who is hollowing out our democracy in the name of fascist oligarchy. Occasionally leaving some protections for ultra-wealthy gay people doesn’t make you even a vaguely good person.

Ah yes, but 28% will give us “herd immunity”! Right Mr. Tegnell? Or are we only aiming for herd immunity on Tuesdays and Thursdays?

He also voted with the liberal wing on the recent abortion case… that actually helps protect my right to bodily autonomy. :woman_shrugging: I think noting his good decisions isn’t treating him like a hero, it’s being glad a bare minimum of human decency is being shown for the rights of people historically denied them. The trans case was not just about the ultra-wealthy either. None of the people who were involved in the law suit were “ultra-wealthy” they were people who got fired from their jobs for existing.

Nothing to do with Trumpvirus, but wow, profiles in courage…

An aide for Collins told the Post that she will not travel to Jacksonville for the RNC next month, but denied that this is a change in plans due to how the Maine senator has never attended national conventions during years when she will appear on the ballot.

“i have never before attended a convention in the year 2020. and therefore i will not be attending this year’s convention either.”

Mostly that whenever she goes up for election she likes to pretend that she’s not a Republican.

While I hope she’s voted out by the good people of Maine, I really hope that she’s never again welcome in any establishment in that State.

We’ve moved well beyond “they’re going to get people killed” and are now deep into “they’re actively striving to kill as many people as possible” territory.
