"..The correct way to write this headline would have been: "House GOP unveils baseless articles of impeachment against Mayorkas".
Journalists should be pro-democracy and anti-fascist. There are things it's OK to be "unbiased" about and things it's not. These fall into the "not" category.
Newspapers SHOULD have opinions about anti-democratic political acts. They SHOULD express those opinions.
We punch Nazis, we don't debate them.."

"..Yes! Bobo’s first campaign experiences in the pitiable new Colorado district are going abominably for the insufferable gunslinger. 

“Representative Lauren #Boebert did not receive the warm welcome she was hoping for after switching #Colorado districts, with her rivals accusing her of being a “#carpetbagger” during the first primary #debate.”.."

"...To ask if you could live outside the International Space Station (ISS) is rhetorical at best — but could any living organism on Earth manage it?


One unassuming toughie did, and provided at least rough proof of concept that life could exist on Mars.

Lichen from Antarctica’s McMurdo Dry Valleys survived 18 months on a platform attached to the outside of the ISS’s Columbus module, Futurism reported. Though they emerged in worse shape than temperate lichens tested separately in “Mars-like conditions,” many still survived.


Damaged but not destroyed
The study authors focused on the success of the species in the Martian simulation.

“The most relevant outcome was that more than 60% of the cells…remained intact after ‘exposure to Mars,’ ” said Rosa de la Torre Noetzel of Spain’s National Institute of Aerospace Technology (INTA) and co-researcher on the project.

Survival in outer space itself was lower. Only around 35% of these lichen’s cells retained their membranes throughout the experiment..."

We need some of this.

"..exterm

It's so refreshing and heartwarming to see the protests against fascists and neo nazis going on in Germany right now. Tens of thousands of people on the streets, repeatedly, for almost two weeks so far.."

Hmm, this reminds me of a poster we have here on TU

"..Reactionaries love to say the left is imagining various forms of societal oppression while also actively trying to create new forms of societal oppression.."

"..It's Biden or fascism.

Having trouble voting for Biden? Boost another ticket in the run up to 2028—when the incumbent is ineligible.

In 2024, a vote for ANYONE BUT Biden/Harris IS A VOTE FOR THE GOP. 

Sit it out?  That’s a vote for GOP.

Democrats are far from perfect.  Change the system; but If you choose to destroy it, you may not see democracy again in your lifetime.  Trust the collective history of third-party and other spoilers.."

"...“To the outside world, none of the logic behind any of these decisions makes sense. All they can see is that the American political system has been hijacked and rendered dysfunctional by a radical, pro-Russian faction led by Trump—a disgraced ex-president who used violence and deceit to try to remain in office.”..."
