Here we are, more than 48 hours later.

No announcements have been made about forthcoming testimony under oath from Ornato, Engel, or the driver.

Some corroboration of pieces of Hutchinson's testimony, but none under oath, any more than the critiques of her have been.

AS usual, Red leaves out the details, and the link to his phantom news "item". The link I have provided leads one to draw a more nuanced view of the Administration's actions, today.

But he's a lying partisan cocksucker.

He is letting too many republicans get away with too much murder. We want to see the long arm of the law beat the ever living crap out of you treacherous republican bastards because we know you will keep trying to illegally seize power as long as we still leave you a leg to stand on.

If President Biden declared the republican party the terrorist organization we know it to be and pursued its destruction like Shrub pursued Al Qaeda, his popularity would be higher than 60 percent right now. We all know that without republicans streets get safer and the standard of living goes up for everybody.

Here's more: Biden has quote opened the door to selling new oil and gas drilling leases...in a move likely to anger climate activists pushing to see a domestic ramp down for fossil fuels end quote.

Not sure why you buy into the lies RED tells. Wait, I'm sure. You're an idiot.

Speaking of Jefferson on this Declaration of Independence weekend.



Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes, and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed.

Sensible actions in the NY State Senate, banning guns from Times Square, houses of worship, libraries, schools, government buildings, public parks, zoos, mass transit, homeless shelters, and polling places.

Mississippi Legislative Update:

Today's discussion was about putting dogs in airports that can sniff out pregnancy.

No, not satire. I'm sorry.

Today, 7/1/2022, in Virginia, SB36 went into effect whereby ALL behavioral incidents at school are to be reported to the police. There are no exceptions for disabled children or disability behaviors.

My high supports needs, ID, autistic son had a meltdown on the bus this morning, 7/1/2022. Rather than working with him and calming him through the incident, the school district instructed the bus driver to call Fairfax County Police. I was just called to pick up my son, the bus stopped in the middle of a busy intersection with rush hour traffic all around, surrounded by police cars, and police telling me the bus attendant hasn't yet decided on whether or not she'll press charges for assault and battery on my disabled son.

My son was terrified and had no idea what was happening. He didn't understand why his bus wasn't taking him to school, or why there were cop cars with lights flashing all around him, why he was surrounded by strangers and police. He sat alone, strapped into a bus with no air-conditioning, when it's humid and probably at least 90F on his bus.

This is acceptable treatment for a high support needs disabled child to my county and state. They didn't safely clip him into his seat and now he may pay for it legally.

That's why we screamed about this law and tried to stop it from passing. Here we are, day 1 of enforcement of SB36, and my disabled son might be looking at assault charges. He has no way to convey his side of the story. Why his seat strap wasn't locked. What was done or said to him or what sensory issues that might have set him off. I know being on a hot as hell bus with all windows closed for someone with intense sensory issues isn't ever a real good plan.

Day 1 of officially criminalizing disability, and I got that phonecall from the police all caretakers of people like my son dread.
Fortunately they didn't cuff or detain him THIS time because he was cooperative. What happens the next time if he's not?

Elections have consequences. Fuck every single fascist fuck who voted for these fascist fucks holding every lever of power in our state now. 65% of incarcerated minors are disabled. It's laws like SB36 that criminalize disability and race, and incarcerate people for being born disabled.

This is always what happens when dumb fascists make the rules. That is why we gelded our republicans here in California. I suggest you all do the same.

Many republicans may be busy gelding themselves.
