Thanks to a $2m donation from Elon Musk and $16m from other megarich donors, Republicans flipped 23 appeals court positions across cities in Texas. GOP won 31 of 32 races, an unprecedented sweep. This does not bode well for criminal defendants in Texas. [news.bloomberglaw.com/litigation/t...](

That didn't take long. https://oyster.us-east.host.bsky.network/xrpc/com.atproto.sync.getBlob?did=did:plc:c7ozmxoc5b2ky4iam2o36uic&cid=bafkreicxiqjo6ntmdbbhncdx5wx7fp7u3aaxzlplf7regbdols42lpttfy
In addition to the vaccine whackjobbery, I’m really worried that RFK Jr. as “health czar” means less availability of antidepressants, ADHD drugs, and other psychiatric drugs in favor of woo. More needless suffering. [www.agencyiq.com/blog/trump-m...](

Biden should commute all federal death sentences. He claims to oppose the death penalty now, the risk of a political backlash is now moot, and it would be a historic, legacy-making move.
Fearing most: - mass deportations, police state required to try it, resulting death/suffering - severe recession or depression from tariffs, deportations, ensuing civil unrest - violence against protesters - weaponization of DOJ, IRS, FCC - “unleashed” cops & vigilantes - Baltics, Poland, Taiwan
Missouri and Arizona voters passed abortion rights measures (as did 57% of FL voters, to no avail), but then voted to give power to the party that overturned Roe and wants a national abortion ban. I guess hating immigrants and trans people is more important.
Fascinating. But this is the path most “heterodox” thinkers take. Their hatred of the left ultimately displaces and distorts whatever allegiance they had to liberalism. The idea that Harris poses a proportionate threat as Trump on on speech, democracy, etc. just isn’t serious. https://oyster.us-east.host.bsky.network/xrpc/com.atproto.sync.getBlob?did=did:plc:c7ozmxoc5b2ky4iam2o36uic&cid=bafkreibyowhvdatrdm2ds5355tayqvosxn74uf6swich5jwftv2thnhk2a
Can’t overstate how dangerous it is that vaccine denial has completely captured one of the two major parties. We’re an election or two from unraveling one of humanity’s greatest achievements. The potential long tail damage is millions of preventable deaths. Just absolutely bonkers.
Real red flags, here. The only evidence linking this guy to the crime scene is an *unspent* cartridge that a state firearms analyst says could only have come from a gun found in his home. So she's matching one bullet to one gun based only on marks left by the extractor. [www.wthr.com/article/news...](
