In my interview with Randi Weingarten, we talked about how the real motive of right-wing attacks on schools is privatization: “To create a universal voucher movement, you have to create great distrust in public schools .. they said you have to be ‘brutal and ruthless’ about it.”

Biden Blasts Lindsey Graham's 'Riots In The Streets' Threats
Source: Crooks and Liars
“Where the hell are we?” President Biden said in response to Sen. Lindsey Graham’s thuggishness.
August 31, 2022
Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you probably know that Sen. Lindsey Graham warned on Fox News that Donald Trump should not be prosecuted for stealing classified documents or for trying to steal the 2020 election because “there will be riots in the streets.”
As if prosecutors should be threatened out of bringing criminal charges against an obvious crook.
Tuesday, during his speech in Pennsylvania, President Biden shot back:
BIDEN: No one expects politics to be a patty-cake. Hey, sometimes, it gets mean as hell. But the idea you turn on the television and see senior senators and congressmen saying if such and such happens, there’ll be blood in the street. Where the hell are we?

I think it came from the heart--not on the teleprompter There is discussion about this.
Lawrence really ripped Lindsey last evening--said he went on Fox news and LIED about what he said.

Concerns about violent content keeping Trump's Truth Social off Google devices: report
Source: raw story
August 30, 2022
Android users still aren't able to see Donald Trump's meltdowns on his Truth Social network because Google still hasn't approved the app for distribution.
Truth Social CEO Devin Nunes claimed last week the decision was "up to Google," but the tech giant said it had notified the social media upstart of "several violations of standard policies," including having effective moderation for user-generated content, before the app could be offered on Google Play, reported Axios.
A source told Axios that Google's concerns were related to content that featured physical threats and incitements to violence, and Truth Social's banners warning of "sensitive content" were insufficient for Google.
A post last week by an account called "TheVictim24," in response to one from former Trump national security adviser Michael Flynn, was cited as an example of content Google found objectionable.....................

As Colorado River Dries, the U.S. Teeters on the Brink of Larger Water Crisis

As Colorado River Dries, the U.S. Teeters on the Brink of Larger Water Crisis
The megadrought gripping the western states is only part of the problem. Alternative sources of water are also imperiled, and the nation’s food along with it.
https://www.propublica.org/article/colorado-river-water-shortage-jay-famiglietti
by Abrahm Lustgarten Aug. 25, 5 a.m. EDT
The western United States is, famously, in the grips of its worst megadrought in a millennium. The Colorado River, which supplies water to more than 40 million Americans and supports food production for the rest of the country, is in imminent peril. The levels in the nation’s largest freshwater reservoir, Lake Mead, behind the Hoover Dam and a fulcrum of the Colorado River basin, have dropped to around 25% of capacity. The Bureau of Reclamation, which governs lakes Mead and Powell and water distribution for the southern end of the river, has issued an ultimatum: The seven states that draw from the Colorado must find ways to cut their consumption — by as much as 40% — or the federal government will do it for them. Last week those states failed to agree on new conservation measures by deadline. Meanwhile, next door, California, which draws from the Colorado, faces its own additional crises, with snowpack and water levels in both its reservoirs and aquifers all experiencing a steady, historic and climate-driven decline. It’s a national emergency, but not a surprise, as scientists and leaders have been warning for a generation that warming plus overuse of water in a fast-growing West would lead those states to run out.
I recently sat down with Jay Famiglietti, the executive director of the Global Institute for Water Security at the University of Saskatchewan, to talk about what comes next and what the public still doesn’t understand about water scarcity in the United States. Before moving to Canada, Famiglietti was a lead researcher at NASA’s water science program at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California, and a member of the faculty at the University of California, Irvine. He pioneered the use of the Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment satellites to peer into the earth’s mass and measure changes in its underground water supplies. The Colorado River crisis is urgent, Famiglietti said, but the hidden, underground water crisis is even worse. We talked about what U.S. leaders either won’t acknowledge or don’t understand and about how bad things are about to get.
Our conversation has been edited for length and clarity.
Let’s start with the Colorado River because it’s in the news. The federal government has put some extraordinary numbers out there, suggesting water users cut between 2 and 4 million acre-feet of water usage starting this year — roughly 40% of the entire river’s recent flow. How could that possibly happen?
It’s going to be really hard. We’re looking at drastically reduced food production and the migration of agriculture to other parts of the country and real limits on growth, especially in desert cities like Phoenix. My fear is that groundwater will, as usual, be left out of the discussion — groundwater is mostly unprotected, and it’s going to be a real shit show.
Remind us how that happens. States and farmers cut back on the Colorado River, and California and Arizona just start pumping all the water out of their aquifers? .............................

I will never understand why people do not want to protect themselves and their families and friends from a severe virus. Never.
I am hoping this case never reaches the the SC given its make-up now.
Sotomayor denies NYPD detective's plea to block vax mandate

NEW YORK (AP) — U.S. Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor on Monday denied an appeal from a New York Police Department detective who asked for an emergency injunction to keep the city from firing him over its mandate that municipal employees be vaccinated against the coronavirus.
Detective Anthony Marciano has a lawsuit pending against the city in a federal appeals court, and his attorneys last week had petitioned Sotomayor, who oversees emergency appeals from New York and some other states, for the injunction while the case is being resolved.
Marciano is part of a small group of employees who didn't qualify for a medical or religious exemption to getting the shot, but still refused.
There have been more than 1,000 New York City employees fired for refusing the vaccines, and some requests for exemptions have yet to be decided.

House conservatives prep plans to impeach Biden
Source: the hill
by Mike Lillis - 08/30/22 6:00 AM ET
.............................
A number of rank-and-file conservatives have already introduced impeachment articles in the current Congress against the president. They accuse Biden of committing “high crimes” in his approach to a range of issues touching on border enforcement, the coronavirus pandemic and the withdrawal of U.S. troops from Afghanistan.
Those resolutions never had a chance of seeing the light of day, with Democrats holding a narrow control of the lower chamber. But with Republicans widely expected to win the House majority in the midterms, many of those same conservatives want to tap their new potential powers to oust a president they deem unfit. Some would like to make it a first order of business.
“I have consistently said President Biden should be impeached for intentionally opening our border and making Americans less safe,” said Rep. Bob Good (R-Va.). “Congress has a duty to hold the President accountable for this and any other failures of his Constitutional responsibilities, so a new Republican majority must be prepared to aggressively conduct oversight on day one.”
The conservative impeachment drive is reminiscent of that orchestrated by liberals four years ago, as Democrats took control of the House in 2019 under then-President Trump. At the time, a small handful of vocal progressives wanted to impeach Trump, largely over accusations that he’d obstructed a Justice Department probe into Russian ties to his 2016 campaign. The idea was repeatedly rejected by Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), not least out of fear that it would alienate voters in tough battleground districts. ...................
