Let’s have more of it. OK. I’m going there, because "Another Republican" was trending on Twitter last night, with more than 19,000 tweets. Republican Judge and Kentucky Chair of TRUMP CAMPAIGN Timothy Nolan Pleads Guilty to Human Trafficking of MINORS for Sex, Rape, Prostitution, etc, etc, etc… —Republicans— Making America GAG Again Not an LGBTQ, not a drag queen. Just one Republican after another, day after day after day…Please, Sir, may I have another? x Another Republican pedophile sex fiend. pic.twitter.com/8bsUlJ92wK — San Cho (@Sancho1549) April 6, 2023 x No news here, just ANOTHER Republican pedophile.

As a judge and Wisconsin Supreme Court candidate shows that we made the right decision because we now know he doesn't believe in upholding the law. Who else agrees? ✋💙 pic.twitter.com/BB8qMCEEx2 — Rich from CA (@TheRichFromCali) April 6, 2023 x Idaho has become the first state to make it illegal for minors to leave the state to get an abortion without parental consent. The new law would create a crime called “abortion trafficking,” carrying a penalty of two to five years in jail. https://t.co/rffwlWbI5e — The New York Times (@nytimes) April 6, 2023 More abortion medication. More lawsuits. More Underground Railroad. More voting. Tennessee House moves to expel 3 Democrats after gun protest Resolutions have been filed against Reps. Gloria Johnson, Justin Jones and Justin Pearson after they led chants from the House floor with supporters in the gallery last Thursday. The resolution declared that the three had participated in “disorderly behavior” and “did knowingly and intentionally bring disorder and dishonor to the House of Representatives.” Irony has long been dead in the Wrong Wing, but this is record-breaking. OK, then, more protest everywhere. x A current Republican State Representative was arrested for fraud, theft and bribery, and the House took no action. Three Democrats raised their voices on the floor about gun violence, and they are being expelled. Bone chilling. https://t.co/ikDABrh3BV — Chris Murphy (@ChrisMurphyCT) April 4, 2023 If the GQP overreachers say that protest chanting without being recognized by the Chair is grounds for expulsion in Tennessee, then we can get much more serious about expelling insurrectionists from Congress and barring them from public office. Are you with me? Mike Pence’s lawsuit to get out from Jack Smith’s subpoena has been firmly rejected in court, giving him legal cover from the haters to testify against The It. When he was in the House chamber presiding over the Electoral College count he was covered by the Speech and Debate Clause, but not while hiding from the rioters who wanted to hang him. x Mike Pence will testify before the grand jury investigating former President Trump’s effort to subvert the 2020 presidential election. “Vice President Pence will not appeal the Judge’s ruling and will comply with the subpoena as required by law,” spokesman Devin O’Malley said. pic.twitter.com/RThSgNKKXD — Tony - Resistance (@TonyHussein4) April 5, 2023 Well, President Joe the Coolest of His Name, can we have more diverse and honest judges? Of course we can. And lots more subpoenas, too. x My D.C. sources are telling me that @USSupremeCourt's Justice Thomas's wife @Ginni_Thomas could be receiving a subpoena from one Mr. Jack Smith any day now! @GOP, #MAGA. pic.twitter.com/sJrnJnK5gS — Anthony W. Walker (Tone) (@awwalk) March 29, 2023 Ooooh, definitely more of that. Dominion clearly wants to continue generating misleading stories from their friends in the media to distract from their weak case. Demanding witnesses who had nothing to do with the challenged broadcasts is just the latest example of their political crusade in search of a financial windfall. Fox Statement I count seven lies in that one sentence. They’ve been practicing. I hope that statement gets introduced in evidence to show that the malice has not abated. We don’t even have to do anything to keep getting more and more evidence, to be used in many more trials. The Murdochs will have to testify when subpoena’d in the Dominion lawsuit, per Delaware Superior Court Judge Eric Davis. US judge says he ‘would not quash’ subpoena from Dominion Voting Systems requesting testimony from mogul and son Lachlan Yes, more lawsuits and indictments, please. x THIS is the reality the GOP is facing. Gen Z is the antidote to gerrymandering. I will keep saying it I til it sinks in. WE NEED TO SYSTEMATIZE our Gen Z engagement at an industrial/national level. pic.twitter.com/xvAie8Lmez — Pam Keith, Esq. (@PamKeithFL) April 5, 2023 Yes, they are saving the nation while hordes of them still don’t vote. Imagine them with effective GOTV on guns, abortion, education, jobs, healthcare for all, and systemic hate. We can do much more of this. Trump’s call to defund DOJ, FBI puts Senate, House GOP at odds I don’t have to explain the insanity level shown here, do I? The Progressive plan for letting the Wrong-Wingers pwn themselves is working splendidly. I don’t know how we get them to talk out of turn even more, but I would if I could. Dominion is good with it. Jack Smith is good with it. Fani Willis is good with it. Alvin Bragg is good with it. Jean Carrol is good with it. Her defamation suit over being raped goes to trial this month. The statute of limitations on the original rape ran out, but The Galloping Id publicly defamed her constantly. Please, Ma’am, may I have another? There is vastly more of the insanity, but that will have to do for us today. You can read and hear and see much more of it elsewhere. Normal Good News Meanwhile, "THE BEST IS YET TO COME" was also trending on Twitter. Both sides are claiming it, the one with the delusional revenge fantasies, and the one based in reality. Yes, more best, please. x The Best Is Yet To Come 😆🍿🍿 pic.twitter.com/kRfifaKlrO — ShepGirl 💯💙🇺🇸 (@mrusk745) April 2, 2023 I don’t normally give Newsmax or Gorka himself oxygen, but I do highlight this sort of self-pwning when I can. Now, actual humanity. Dad Creates Bespoke 3D-Printed Toys for Kids with Disabilities Nick Hardman is a single dad and 3D printing hobbyist who loves a good project. In 2020, he made PPE during the COVID-19 pandemic and soon found himself transitioning to a new endeavor. “I’m Nick, and this is the 3D Toy Shop Teddy Hospital,” he says in a viral TikTok. “We make toys that don’t exist — like little pacemakers and little tracheostomies so children who are going through the hardest time can have a friend like them.” x Dad Creates Bespoke 3D-Printed Toys for Kids with Disabilities Nick Hardman is a single dad and 3D printing hobbyist who loves a good project. “I’m Nick, and this is the 3D Toy Shop Teddy Hospital,” he says in a viral TikTok.https://t.co/JnuVEQ4hWW — Mokurai Delusion Fighter 🇺🇦 🇺🇦 (@Mokurai) April 6, 2023 x 'A Win for All Living Beings': Appeals Court Tosses Mountain Valley Pipeline Permit https://t.co/YoPRBCxLXG — Tom Williams (@tommyboy0690) April 4, 2023 More, yes? A U.S. appellate court panel on Monday unanimously struck down a key water permit for the Mountain Valley Pipeline, a nearly completed fracked gas project long opposed by people living along the over-300-mile route through Virginia and West Virginia. Three judges from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 4th Circuit vacated a Clean Water Act certification from the West Virginia Department of Environmental Protection (WVDEP), without which the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers cannot allow ongoing MVP construction at stream and wetland crossings. How movements can keep politicians from selling out By understanding how mainstream political culture co-opts elected officials, grassroots groups can help them resist. Sometimes. Often enough to matter. Let’s do more of that. Animals! Science! Weirdness! JapanFest 2016 - Kabuki Entertainment Group Miyabi-ya Japan (Theater Performance) The story depicts the severe physical training the shishi cub must undergo at the hand of its parent. In order to foster courage and strength the parent kicks its young over the edge of the ravine and must wait anxiously to see if the cub can climb back up again. This is said to be a great test of the actor's abilities for he must portray fatherly love as well as a strict sense of discipline. The pair of Kyôgen actors dance the story of the shishi parent and cub, one with white hair representing the parent shishi and the other with red hair to represent its child. A shishi is a mythological lion-like animal said to be the king of beasts and always associated with the Buddhist deity [Bodhisattva of wisdom] Monju. For this reason, any portrayal of the shishi should not only bring out its wild, beastial nature, but also a sense of dignity and authority that goes with this divine status. The shishi is in many ways a spiritual creature. x The Bodhisattva Monju, 13th century#buddhism pic.twitter.com/HpJ4pMhQKT — Masterpieces of Japan (@JapanTraCul) April 3, 2023 We meditate to be aware of our bestial nature, and not let it control us. Speaking of beasts, Scientists create meatball from DNA extinct woolly mammoth As cultured lab-grown meat gains steam, scientists from the Australian company Vow created a meatball with DNA from a woolly mammoth more than 4,000 years after it went extinct. Scientists at Vow used DNA from the woolly mammoth and an African elephant, the animal’s closest relative still alive today, to create the first meatball meat blend. The Australian alternative protein company is trying to change how people think about cultured meat to help fight against climate change. Cultivated meat, also called cultured or cell-based meat, is made from animal cells. Livestock doesn’t need to be killed to produce it, which advocates say is better not just for the animals but also for the environment. They say that the don’t want to try eating it, for fear of allergic reactions to the unfamiliar proteins. I say, come on, you know how to test food under FDA rules, and besides our ancestors certainly ate mammoths. All of them, in fact. More, please. They also want to do dodoes, but the museum specimens don’t seem to have viable DNA. Well, vat-grown chicken is on sale in Singapore, and going through FDA testing for the US. x The JWST Advanced Deep Extragalactic Survey has identified the farthest and therefore earliest galaxies.
