CDC ditches 5-day COVID isolation, argues COVID is becoming flu-like
Fuck you CDC. Long Covid is real.
Just leave 5 days as a recommendation. What's the harm in that? fuckers.
Ed: CDC could do better to protect people, but instead bend to capitalist (mostly GQP) forces to ignore that edict and get sick people back out working.

A Judge Finally Found Fraudulent Votes. They’re All From a Republican.
Reply in thread
Worse than that, she asked and was told by an election official it was ok to vote. Then was arrested and imprisoned.
I believe she was recently released thankfully but damage done.

South Korea’s population dips below 50M

UK’s Sunak promises mandatory national service for 18-year-olds if elected [26 May 2024 | Al Jazeera]
What a weird choice to offer: 12 weekends community volunteering, or a full year of your life in the military.
Ed: guessing there must be a pay difference.
The poors will self select the paid military gig because they can't afford the time off from low pay sustinance jobs to volunteer.

Greater Idaho movement: 13 counties in eastern Oregon have voted to secede and join Idaho
Yea this might have something to do with it

At least 66 members of far-right group in rural Oregon standing for office
Revealed: anti-government People’s Rights Network, founded by Ammon Bundy, appearing to follow ‘entryism’ strategy
At least 66 members of an anti-government group founded by far-right militia figure Ammon Bundy have attempted to win local positions of influence in the Republican party in Oregon, the Guardian can reveal.
The candidates stood for Republican precinct committee person (PCP) slots in three central Oregon counties in this week’s elections, with some facing no opponent and thus winning their positions by default. The role of PCPs includes electing the executive of the county-level GOP apparatus.
The move is part of what appears to be a coordinated attempt to capture the local Republican party infrastructure, following a far-right strategy of “entryism” into more mainstream political bodies.

'A lot of money': Trump owes $87K in interest per day until he pays the fine in his civil fraud case
This could really hurt his other legal cases. Lawyers will be less enthused to represent him if he might go bankrupt on them and not pay the bill.
And they will be more likely to demand retainer at onset. One recently demanded $3M retainer before starting.

Live Updates: Trump Held in Contempt Again as His Criminal Trial Speeds Along
Sentence him to community service, picking up trash on the side of the highway in an orange jumpsuit. 40 hours per count.
He wants to be jailed for his fundraising wet dream, so don't give him that.
Ed: looks like it's getting some traction! (gift link)

Biden trolls Trump for boasting about golf trophies: ‘Quite the accomplishment’
Reply in thread
It goes right to the point that there is a well oiled Biden machine team that makes things run and the contrast is stark.
Orange shitstain's team of racist Christo-fashists is hard at work too and out to destroy democracy.
