Good news for Democrats, taking back school boards around the country

Dems are taking back school boards from Maga extremists around the country, reported in the Guardian:


Rightwing extremists defeated by Democrats in US school board elections
Republican-backed culture warrior candidates fare poorly in Illinois and Wisconsin, offering hope to the left

Scores of rightwing US extremists were defeated in school-board elections in April, in a victory for the left and what Democrats hope could be effective for running against Republicans in the year ahead.

In Illinois, Democrats said more than 70% of school-board candidates it had endorsed won their races, often defeating the kinds of anti-LGBTQ+ culture-warrior candidates who have taken control of school boards across the country.


Republican-backed candidates in Wisconsin also fared poorly. Moms for Liberty, a rightwing group linked to wealthy Republican donors which has been behind book-banning campaigns in the US, said only eight of its endorsed candidates won election to school boards, and other conservative groups also reported disappointing performances.

TN Speaker Sexton FAFO

It seems that Speaker Seton of TN has brought the spotlight onto himself and others in the legislature and what did they find out? Apparently Sexton is having an affair with the wife of Gov Lee's communications director and it seems to be all over twitter now. Perhaps his wife will kick him out and send him back to his condo that is actually located in his district.

On MSNBC now Trump sues Cohen

Trump has launched a lawsuit against Michael Cohen for breach of contract and breaching client/attorney privilege. What an idiot, he is still lashing out, thinking it will help him. No client/attorney privilege in the advancement of a crime.

Trump is trying a new stall tactic in the E. Jean Carroll trial

Trump thinks the public and potential jurors need a cooling off period between his recent indictment of paying off a porn star and his rape trial. What a whiny bitch. Here is the letter sent to the court from Tacopina.

Substack notes is now open - competition to twitter?

I just got notification from Substack that notes are now available. This is what Musk is so afraid of, notes gives a snippet of substack articles and "You can share links, images, quick thoughts, and snippets from Substack posts."

I am curious to see where this goes and if more people use it in a replacement for twitter.
