ALL PIPELINES 8/03 - STOP GENOCIDE & it’s not in Gaza/Ecosystem Attack/StandWithUkraine/climate/Human Rights/ProtectSacred Sites

Not a surprise at all. That orange menace, that crazed convicted felon continues to put us in danger. He is so freaking stupid, just acting trying to look tough. He’s a WEAK OLD guy who knows nada who continues to do whatever comes to mind in order to distract us from Epstein. What he continues to ignore is whatever he tries is a failure. - Russia Prepares Strike on U.S.: Putin Deploys Oreshnik Missiles After Trump Sends Nuclear Subs

This is worth reading. Some of this was mentioned yesterday in Simon’s post. This is just one thing that stands out: "But we enter this August break with Trump flailing and us beginning to find our mojo.” Of the links to previous discussions given, I have to agree with Simon about the discussion with Leah Litman. I’ve learned a lot not just from that but also from her book I’m currently listening to, including things that previous presidents have done before this monster we now have making many of us crazy tho we ARE stronger than that fool. You also are given info about where to find Simon’s podcasts and interviews so if you’ve missed any or want to revisit any here’s where you can find them. We most need to begin thinking now that 2026 is NOW. We have to begin doing whatever we can to make sure the Republicans who are richer than us are DEFEATED. - Sunday Hopium - Some Notes On Where We Are Today And The Path Forward

Great to see Tex Dems working for their Texas Dems.  Food for thought: "'This is not a decision we make lightly, but it is one we make with absolute moral clarity,' said Gene Wu, chair of the House Democratic Caucus, in a statement.” Need another reason why your vote in elections is so important? This article shows you why. - Texas Democrats leave the state to block vote on redrawn House map backed by Trump

The title alone here should raise red flags. It’s not something that isn’t asking for funds. Just think wht it would be like to have what we have faced thus far with this orange menace in office. Is this the life you want for yourselves, your kids, or your grandkids? Common sense opposes such an action IMO. Something to think about is this: "And on Friday, SCOTUS ordered new legal briefings from the parties on whether or not the very concept of Black majority districts violate the 14th and 15th Amendments to the US Constitution.” And then there’s more food for thought because this follows: "This matters because if SCOTUS finds that these Black-majority districts do violate the Constitution and that the VRA is actually unconstitutional, then there is no federal prohibition to stop states under Republican control from re-drawing their maps without the required opportunity districts.” This post also discusses more about the issues going on in TX with their attempts to gerrymander even more. Something really needs to be done about these right wing justices like now. IMO this is an important read that should be shared. - Supreme Court poised to permanently entrench Republican rule

So happy to see scientists rebelling against that fraud that the convicted felon put in charge of the HHS. We need to see so many more like this. Excellent byline for sure. This is so right in everyone else’s benefit: “In a sharply worded commentary, published in the New England Journal of Medicine, the ousted experts say they no longer trust what the committee has become and are now proposing alternative ways to ensure US vaccine policy remains grounded in scientific integrity.” Read to see why. The commentary is linked here. Do I really need to say anymore? Please share. - 17 Vaccine Scientists Are Rebelling Against RFK Jr’s Anti-Science

Something to be concerned about, but then when does anyone really need a reason for disagreeing with this regime and their actions. The byline explains it all. Greenhouse gas emissions are a danger to all of us, even those idiots in this regime. This too is enough to alarm many of us: "The rollback proposal also cites a new Department of Energy report authored by climate contrarians who question the scientific consensus on the causes and dangers of unchecked global heating.” Nothing this felon’s agenda is in our best interests. - EPA Moves to Roll Back Endangerment Finding, Threatening Climate Action

This should bother you if you care about democracy and your right to vote: “We commemorate its 60th anniversary in a moment when it has been and under a sustained attack, with the president, Republican members of Congress and other elected officials, and even the Supreme Court denigrating the need for ongoing protection for Black and other minority voters.” The statement that follows this is even more upsetting, at least for me. I’ll let you find out for yourselves. Want to more what’s at stake, then read this piece, and share it with others of like minds. It’s not a short read, but if you care anything about being able to vote you’ll want to read this. - The Week Ahead

This is quite a read. Amazing how other so-called higher ups dissed and more. I’m really drawn to the Raleigh, NC protests and maybe even more so with Ron DeDevil’s event interrupted by protesters. Yay, y’all, all of you across the country who were able to get out and protest. I love those attending GOP town halls they're given hell by their constituents. Rage against these GOP who have forgotten what they’re elected to do, work FOR their constituents. Please keep it up as much as you can. Please share. - You Gotta See This Great News That’s Terrible For Trump
