Strange takes on Mayor Zamdani swearing his oath on the Qu’ran. It has nothing to do with church & state. The point of the oath is for the person swearing in to do so upon some text that is sacred TO THEM. Some Presidents swore in w/o any book. John Quincy Adams was sworn on a law book. His choice.

Have you ever driven one? Evs are so much fun to drive. They are better
I don't drive an EV, I don't particularly want one. Though I am excited to see that Tesla is being smashed in sales worldwide.

Typically, once a person dies they cannot be tried posthumously. But Jan 6 is different. Even if Trump is dead when the next Dem POTUS takes over the White House, I want Trump tried for his crimes. History has to record him as a criminal!

Trump and Stephen Miller are actually failing in crucial ways. Deportations are lagging behind their goals, courts are mostly functioning, and their fascist, ethnonationalist cruelties have unleashed a countermobilization of unexpected scope and power.

Oh my goodness, this Wall Street Journal piece about Trump's ailing health that includes an interview with him (gift link). There are a number of ridiculous details in it and I'll put a few of them in this thread. (1/6)

Please give a thought to people whose New Year’s Eve was spent in bomb shelters because a criminal invader was trying to destroy their energy infrastructure.
‼️ How Russia attacked Ukraine on New Year's Eve: a map of the flight of enemy targets.
Main directions: Lutsk, Volyn, Odesa, Konotop, Zatoka. The main target is energy infrastructure.

Powerful Practice from Thich Nacht Hanh. First, connect to your personal suffering. That allows you to feel compassion for the suffering of those around you. And that brings about compassion and connection to the whole world.

This snippet perfectly illustrates why we need to completely reform the Supreme Court
Because it was a SCOTUS packed with MAGA judges-chosen by Trump himself-that shamefully deprived America of its rightful justice by granting him immunity and destroying any chance Jack Smith had to prosecute him

Jack Smith: I believe we had proof beyond a reasonable doubt in both cases.

If I ran a local TV station, I’d replay best-of vintage NYE coverage rather than throw some cheap schlock together or rely on the same old out-of-town stuff.
Or maybe I’d air a “SCTV” marathon.
It doesn’t take a lot of imagination — or money — to improve on what’s out there. Honest.
