BComplex's JournalThe 6 lawless members of the Supreme Court need to be impeached.
Full stop. This country will be forever ruined until we get rid of these compromised and corrupt justices. There is no other way to deal with the corruption that is being loosed on the people of this country, and totally contrary to the intentions of the founding fathers.
My personal hero, Senator Sheldon Whitehouse, and the folks on Legal AF today spell it out perfectly. THIS is where we need to start protesting in the streets by the millions. If we don't, we will never be able to right this ship that is now going down.
THIS is what America SHOULD be doing with health care! At 2:52 on this video
you will see the most important information about the way forward...what it should be. The whole video is good. Starts out with Jon Stewart and friends, leads in to Mamdani on the news, and then this Mr. Weissman speaking before congress (he starts speaking at 2:52). Just common sense.
Common sense does not feed the billionaires, so it will probably never happen. But getting these greedy insurance companies OUT of our healthcare system is imperative. Check it out!
Just got a call from my drug insurance provider for medicare part D. (Aetna)
My monthly bill for part D (prescriptions) went up last year from $5.00 to $40.00. That's an increase of 800% for no extra benefits. This was BEFORE the new ("big beautiful" sic) law was passed.
Now, however, it is going from $40.00/mo. to $90.00/mo. No extra benefits. Welcome to the republican rulership.
This supreme court ruling makes law enforcement shoulder more responsibility
This video is explaining the recent supreme court ruling that brings the second amendment and the fourth amendment under the same constitutional umbrella. It was a 9-0 ruling that said, instead of police being able to say they "felt threatened" at the moment they pulled their gun and started shooting, the entire event has to be taken into consideration.
This feels really important to me, personally, because my Godson is in the worst prison in the western United States because of this type of gun violation. (On edit: no, he did not kill anybody!) Apparently, a lot of convictions might be overturned due to this ruling. It applies to anybody with a gun; not just the police, but also gun owners. The whole scene has to be taken into account, and the actions leading up to a gun being drawn/used.
This video by Legal AF is amazing in how the republicans have corrupted
our politics way before trump, the criminal in chief, arrived in Washington. Lisa Graves talks with Sidney Blumenthal and Sean Wilentz about how the oligarchs created our supreme court starting with the GW Bush theft of the 2000 election.
John Roberts is every bit as nasty as Kavanaugh or Thomas or Alito.
It's about a 30-minute long video, but well worth the listen.

Ooopsie trumpsie!
My husband has Apple lost/stolen insurance. He lost/got stolen his phone. You'll never guess
what he needs to file a claim! His phone! Which is not available or we wouldn't be having this conversation.
He doesn't have any other Apple device, so his email was on his phone. We called the Apple store in a town an hour away and they said to come in and file his claim. So we went. When we got there, they said that he had to file it online. They said they couldn't do it for him. (My husband is almost 70, and has no computer ability whatsoever. It's a miracle he can get his text messages or answer a call.) So I tried to file the claim on my computer, where I can access his gmail account.
As I went from double-speak page to double-speak page on Apple's website, I kept getting a message that they would send a "confirmation code" to his phone. Well, he doesn't have his phone or he wouldn't be filing a claim. So I called Tech help with him sitting there on speaker phone confirming that he is who he says he is and that I'm authorized to help him.
To make a two-hour long phone ordeal story shorter, the tech person, after getting onto sharing my computer to "help us", he told us that we have to go to our phone carrier (US Cellular in this case) to ask to have my husband's phone ADDED to my iphone so they could send him a "confirmation code" to HIS phone number (on my phone, which supposedly now has two phone numbers). However, it is Labor Day, so US Cellular is closed -- of course they are. But their website says that if you need to add a phone number to your phone you have to go there in person. So that is an hour's drive in a different direction than the Apple store.
Does all that make sense to anyone? I'm so mad I'm shaking.
Am I late to the party? Has everyone already watched this video about the 2024 election lawsuit?
It's a long watch, and it doesn't really get pretty much mind blowing (which comes on slowly) until about half way through, but the first part sets it up. By the end of the video, I was shaking.
I've been saying for a long time that this election was totally rigged, and stolen from us...from our country and from the world. This video is the tippy tippy top of the iceberg, but it's going to court, and this group needs donations to move forward.
Please share it on BlueSky and Reddit and Daily Kos or Facebook or whatever. I'd sure like to see it get more exposure.
About how Trump & Elon stole the November 2024 election
This tells us all we need to know about the 2024 vote, and why the entire world was in shock when it came out that trump won. He didn't.
Does anyone know if having a VPN makes it harder to get in and out of websites? On or off-line?
I think I should get a VPN, but I know absolutely nothing about them in actual practice. I know what they are supposed to actually do, but I don't know about the day to day use of them. I'm of the age that I didn't grow up with computers, but I'm willing to learn new stuff.
I wish DU had a Computer for Dummies forum.
