Well I don't like that

From the comments, it seems likely this was not a nuclear test.

According to the US Geological Survey, the depth of the quake was at 10 km, which is too deep for an atomic test. https://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/eventpage/us6000nwr9/executive

I totally hear that, but at the same time it's really important for a functioning democracy that the vote be secret. For one, it empowers a suppressed class to vote against their suppressor's interests without fear of retaliation.

ProPublica is the journalism we need, in a time when we really need it most

Eta:

Three investigators for the Heritage Foundation have deluged federal agencies with thousands of Freedom of Information Act requests over the past year, requesting a wide range of information on government employees, including communications that could be seen as a political liability by conservatives. Among the documents they’ve sought are lists of agency personnel and messages sent by individual government workers that mention, among other things, “climate equity,” “voting” or “SOGIE,” an acronym for sexual orientation, gender identity and expression.

The Heritage team filed these requests even as the think tank’s Project 2025 was promoting a controversial plan to remove job protections for tens of thousands of career civil servants so they could be identified and fired if Donald Trump wins the presidential election.

Syria better be on alert. I really feel like Bibi is eying the Kingdom of David at its largest as far as potential war targets go at this point.

I appreciate the irony of a so-named "news" corp keeping the terms of the settlement secret

He'll say the same to Taiwan, too

I sure hope no one shares that link, leading to a subsequent spike in traffic and possibly taking the site down as a result. That would be a really shameful thing to see happen.

More post-birth abortions. Who's the villain performing these, again?

Then-Missouri Gov. Eric Greitens (R) paused Williams’s execution in 2017 and charged a board with collecting evidence about whether he was innocent. Current Gov. Mike Parson (R), who succeeded Greitens, later disbanded the board and last year began a push to set an execution date.

The cruelty is the point

This murder will be an actual example of a post-term abortion that the right has been pretending to be scared of, ironically enough

Sounds like terrorism to me
