Pearl clutchers should note that MEPs turning their backs to Ode to Joy dirge is nothing new. There was same faux outrage in 2014
Also that those protesting the exclusion of separatist Catalan MEPs refused to stand for the anthem, which has an odious (geddit) past
The official arrangement of Ode to Joy is different from Beethoven's original and was by Herbert von Karajan, who had a tainted past as a card carrying Nazi
It was the official national anthem of racist Rhodesia. It was played to celebrate Hitler’s birthday
This only version worth listening to

Top job candidates
Von der Leyen, past her sell by date domestically, an elegant and convenient departure
Michel, a national election loser looking for work (although a nice guy)
Lagarde, high priestess of the international capitalist order beloved by the French one per cent
Borrell, least remembered president of EP, cheerleader for repression in Catalonia and Spanish Brexit baiter in chief over Gib
Timmermans/Vestager, already in place, overhyped
EP prez? Who knows? Who cares?
A snapshot of the EU's political caste - it ain't pretty

Means another summit - new name, new #EUCO
There's a remorseless logic here.
1st Weber, lead spitzen needs to be killed off. S&D and ALDE MEPs don't back him as principle of the thing as they should if serious...
2nd Timmermans, the 2nd spitzen for S&D. EPP won't back him 'cos he's not one of them, hammering final nail in spitzen coffin. Takes a summit to kill him off and float some new options who did not stand as spitzen on party lists

There's a new vibe - whether it's just a bubble in the bubble remains to be seen
There's talk of summit on afternoon/evening of 30 June to finalise after a bit of fixing in the sidelines of G20. EPP for EC prez, liberals for council is one of the spun permutations - I don't buy it yet
Apparently, European Parliament does not have to choose its president at the first session - it can appoint longest serving MEP as an interim in the post

#NEW: @aurabogado reports that DHS is farming out children of migrants.
One of those places is Bethany Services in Pennsylvania, about which I have reported.

The US is quietly opening shelters for babies and young kids. One has 12 children and no mothers revealnews.org/article/the-us…
Bethany Services is linked to Betsy DeVos and has been involved in abuses of kids, and has disturbing anti-LGBTQ policies. This is not a good agency for any children to be housed by, but has numerous sites nationally.
Read Aura's piece and her thread. 📌📌📌 This just gets worse and worse.

#NEW on @OANN: Former Pres. Bill Clinton has issued a statement responding to the recent indictment against Jeffrey Epstein.
#FactCheck: Flight logs show former Pres. Clinton taking at least 26 trips aboard Jeffrey Epstein's “Lolita Express”--even apparently ditching his Secret Service detail for at least five of the flights.
#Update: The statement specifically says Pres. Clinton accompanied Epstein on “trips” and not “flights,” suggesting there could have been 4 occasions made up of multiple stops.

Just to take this one step further...

Worth noting that federal prosecutors chose to make public an indictment which has little prosecutorial value on its face (since Veselnitskaya is out of reach).

There’s a method to this madness and it may well be...

1/
1) Shining a spotlight on the Trump Tower meeting about “adoptions”

2) Putting into the public domain evidence that Junior, et al, were indeed meeting with the Kremlin by proxy

3) Providing corroboration of the criminal quid pro quo alluded to in Paul Manafort’s mtg notes

2/
4) Establishing that all attendees fully knew what the Russian objectives were in supporting the Trump Campaign

5) Providing a supporting indictment of the foreign actor in the Trump Tower meeting in advance of Mueller indicting Junior for lying to Congress about the mtg.

She starts w/this.

"When I considered writing about the toll of autism I was determined to do so only if I had something new to say."

Sorry, this book, so far, is just another 'autism martyr parent' book. It's just more graphic, & hence, more harmful.

#KaeEditsAUWE #ElmoMum
You're still touting bad information and revealing how abusive many parents actually are to their autistic kids.

You're still using poor language references WRT autism.

'has autism', 'with autism', 'people with autism'.

You're exposing methodologies
