In Case You Missed It: May 19, 2022

With so much going on in our world, we sometimes miss important issues. Please feel free to share any headlines we may have missed or new developments providing they come from reliable and credible sources. We won’t accept any parroted, Russian propaganda from far-right ‘news’ sources unless you’re trying to point out that the far-right extremist in our country and elsewhere actually believe their own BS or Russian disinformation. Nor, will we except any parroted far-right BS regarding issues occurring here, at home. We also ask that you provide a link to your source so folks can read it if they want. Please do not make any claims that you cannot factually validate or verify.

this statement is even more astounding upon second reading. The Minnesota Republican Party wants you to believe they didn't think an image of Soros as a puppet-master is antisemitic. Are they painfully stupid or lying? Maybe both? https://t.co/dGCtWi0uJe

Reminder that Jean Schmidt's "rape is an opportunity" was not a slip of the tongue. It is the actual policy of the Republican Party and the anti-abortion extremists that support them. https://t.co/Piwf2VHlMZ
