What follows is a video on the latest mass shooting in this country, this time at the Club Q “gay nightclub” (as described in media accounts like this one) in Colorado Springs, CO (more here, here, here, here, and here...and doesn't this figure? – and once more, to quote The Onion, this represents a difficult, thorny issue that pretty much every other freaking industrialized nation on earth has managed to effectively resolve EXCEPT US! And of course, you can throw "hating teh gay!" into this toxic stew for good measure)...
Update: And right on cue, here comes "Strip Search Sammy" Alito to pile on here, after having revealed SCOTUS opinions in advance to his pals (here).
...and allegedly, “Curtsy Kyrsten” is somewhat of an LGBTQ presence in the U.S. Senate, but I wouldn’t depend on her for related issues; actually, I don’t think she can be depended on for a damn thing, as Dem U.S. House Rep Ruben Gallego pretty much says straight up, particularly given Sinema’s total absence in campaigning for Dem candidates in AZ in the most recent cycle – Farron Cousins tells us more...
Update: And by the way, since Arizona will eventually get a Dem governor sometime next January, Sinema could just quit after that happens and I'd be fine with that, knowing she'll be replaced by a Dem for real - she'd be doing us a favor (so of course she won't do that).
...and David Doel features an interview with Just Stop Oil activist Phoebe Plummer; yeah, I thought the whole soup-splattering stuff with the Van Gogh painting was kind of dumb, but she’s 100 percent, spot-on correct in this clip on the urgency of climate change (and Doel is also right about how the media in general treats the critical issue of climate change as kind of “meh”)...
...and Beau gives us his take on AG Merrick Garland’s decision to bring prosecutor Jack Smith from The Hague to go after Our Ochre Abomination...I’ve read that U.S. House Repugs are going to do everything they can to try and bring our government to a halt to prevent any investigation into #45, which sound like something out of their wretched playbook all right, even though that should deter absolutely nothing...for whatever my take is worth on this stuff, I’m not sure what took Garland so long, though he absolutely needs to do this (If he thinks he has a case of course...and with Trump, how could he not?) because one of the first things McCarthy will do when his party takes over the House will be to break up the 1/6 committee, and it sounds like Smith is exactly the right guy for the job of holding the head of Cult 45 to the full account he deserves...
...and Ana and Cenk of TYT tell us about citations against Packers Sanitation Services Inc. employing kids at meat packing plants, working third shift in a lot of cases apparently and, in one instance in particular, a child suffered burns on his body from a cleaning solvent (and according to the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938, companies aren’t allowed to employ kids under 14, regardless of whether or not they’re Hispanic)...
...and given the horrific story in the first video, I thought this tune was particularly appropriate.
