Thursday Stuff


Don Winslow reminds us about everyone who has yet to be served a subpoena from the 1/6 Commission, or any other governmental or legal entity for that matter (such as a grand jury)...



Update: More here.

...and Thom Hartmann tells us about all the ways that Not Your Father’s Republican Party is trying to strip women of political power (as far as Thom can recall, the SCOTUS has only taken away rights once, and that was against African Americans in Plessy v. Ferguson, which were basically won back in Brown v. Board...why any woman would go along with living in Texas unless they did so at gunpoint, which would be awful, is something I will NEVER understand...and I didn’t know about all of the cases of red states that have already prosecuted women on criminal charges who ran into catastrophic health issues while trying to give birth...I don’t think all of Thom’s numbers are correct here, but they’re damn scary enough...and of course, if our corporate media weren’t completely and utterly asleep...rock a bye baby...maybe THEY would try reporting on this stuff too!!)...



...and I now give you the latest installment of “This Day In Doomsy History” (no, I hadn’t forgotten about it) from 12/9/13, in which we hear about a report from the AFT on the state of public education...among other things, the report made a pretty solid case for funding of public schools, particularly in middle-to-high income areas, though we need to implement that across the board regardless of income of course, something to keep in mind in light of more BS from that death eater Sen. Mr. Elaine Chao (here)...



...and HORRORS! David Doel tells us that the Fix Noise Christmas tree was burned recently, which surely now means that our democratic experiment is coming to an end (hope I’m being snarky only on that...as Charles Pierce pointed out on the Twitter machine, Our Lord didn’t have such hot luck with trees...and the tree stands for Hanukkah??? Ummm...very slightly NSFW/H)...



...and I suppose that's as good a transition as any to more seasonal selections.
