Glad this was vetoed. We agree this bill injected politics into a function of government that should remain nonpartisan. Governor Katie Hobbs vetoed SB1439, which would have created a special β€œTurning Point” license plate and directed $17 of the $25 fee to Turning Point USA.

Eerie timing for this post: Chancellor Adolf Hitler, blaming communists, used the fire to justify suspending civil liberties.

The Climate Intelligence Assessment the Government Doesn’t Want You to See Washington, D.C., February 28, 2025 - For 17 years, the U.S. Intelligence Community has refused to declassify one of its first investigations into climate change as a national security threat.

For 17 years, the US intel community has kept classified an assessment on the security implications of climate change. Why has the IC kept it a secret? My latest on why the @nsarchive.bsky.social is calling on the ODNI to prioritize the report's declassification: nsarchive.gwu.edu/briefing-boo...

I just want to live in a country where the leader can’t enrich themselves with our tax dollars, the government does what the people want, and the wealthy have to follow the laws.

You know, like a democracy.

Transgender people make up an estimated 1% of the US population.

Since 2014, there have been 5,644 mass shootings.

6 had shooters who were identified as transgender.

That's approx. 0.001% of mass shootings.

99.999% were cisgender.

Jesse Jackson brought his presidential campaign to a church in Tipton, Iowa, in 1988. I was reporting for @inthesetimes.com and took this at the reception following his speech His message then is just as timely today: #KeepHopeAlive!"
