NEW: DOJ sued Washington State for access to the state's unreacted voter data. However, it failed to file proof that it served the complaint. So now the federal judge has asked DOJ to show cause as to why this case should not be dismissed. www.democracydocket.com/cases/washin...

George W. Bush may not have been the sharpest tool in the shed, but he knew enough not to disrespect our military or their families.

Then there's Convicted Felon Donald Trump. A narcissistic sociopath, who couldn't care less about our troops.

What a US$ 345 million judgment means for Greenpeace - Greenpeace International A US court has just sided with fossil fuel pipeline giant Energy Transfer and ordered Greenpeace International and Greenpeace entities in the US to pay US$ 345 million.

So let’s be clear: this type of corporate bullying is designed to rob us of our rights and freedoms.Β 

But we will not be silenced.
