With fear for our democracy, I dissent. The details of my life are quite inconsequential. "I hope that in the future, we are going to remember that there can be no compromise at any point with the things that we know are wrong.” - Eleanor Roosevelt
It’s gonna be a pretty solid weekend if social media is flooded with clips of Laura Loomer getting her ass handed to her in-person by Indian journalists. Shout-out to Rajdeep Sardesai for kicking off the festivities.
The cynicism from the AIPAC-backed SuperPACs is jaw dropping, but I don’t think “tricking voters” is a viable long term strategy.
Search-and-rescue crews were “flying blind” trying to rescue survivors from deadly tornadoes that hit the Midwest last week.
Why? Because Kristi Noem hadn't approved FEMA’s $200,000 contract with a tornado-tracking tool.
But she had time to spend $220 million on anti-immigrant ads. Priorities.
HOLY SHIT.
A dark money group, hidden behind a bunch of shell companies, is paying influencers thousands of dollars PER POST to attack @katmabu.bsky.social on social media a month before her election.
Thank you to the people who declined the money and went forward with this. So who's behind this?
He is just making things up, and the whole world knows the truth. The United States has never looked weaker because of these lies and his complete lack of a plan or strategy. Wars cannot be won with gaslighting and Truth Social posts.

Venezuela, Iran, Cuba, Greenland, Canada, and on and on and on. Lindsey Graham says they are “marching through the world.”
They don’t care how many US soldiers they get killed. Meanwhile, they’re building concentration camps at home for Americans to die in. What will it take for people to wake up?
BREAKING: Judge rules Kari Lake's appointment was ILLEGAL for many months & a bunch of her actions are void
We & great partners win again!
H/t to my @democracydefendersfund.org colleagues plus AFSCME, AFGE, Emery Celli, Democracy Forward & more. Wow, just wow.
This is *nothing* dignified about wearing a cheap baseball cap that promotes yourself to the otherwise solemn ceremony to receive the bodies of the troops you had killed to distract from your bad economy and rampant pedophilia.
There are a lot of posts out there with the close-up visual of Markwayne Mullin on January 6, but this is a better perspective.
He’s not protecting others; he’s protecting himself and hiding. You can see plenty of people at the entry door, ready to take on the insurrectionists, but not Markwayne.
gramps is banged up
He's yelling at the dumbass Fox News guy. Definitely starting to feel the heat. Will it matter? Who knows, but he's not comfy right now and that makes me feel good.
Free and fair elections are the cornerstone of our democracy. But right now, they’re under attack.
Several Republican-controlled states have redrawn their congressional maps to give themselves an unfair advantage in the midterm elections.
JUST IN: A federal judge has barred Gov DeSantis from designating CAIR as a terrorist organization and punish those who associate with the group.
“Once again, Florida chooses political posturing over the First Amendment,” Judge Walker writes.

Haha! They’re throwing Vance under the bus.
Americans rise up against your government.
It's a Republican tradition.

This statement can be attributed to Freedom of the Press Foundation (FPF) Chief of Advocacy Seth Stern: > “Ellison has already shown his cards. When the Trump administration unconstitutionally demanded editorial concessions from Ellison’s Skydance in exchange for government approval of its takeover of Paramount and CBS News, he obliged, even appointing a Trump loyalist as a so-called ‘bias ombudsman.’ CBS has since repeatedly censored journalists or altered its coverage to please Trump and his allies. There is no reason to believe that this proven capitulator will behave any differently this time around – in fact, he’s already reportedly promised Trump ‘sweeping changes’ at CNN, including firing people Trump dislikes. > > “Ellison will readily throw the First Amendment, CNN’s reporters and HBO’s filmmakers under the bus if they stand in the way of expanding his corporate empire and fattening his pockets. But censorship is bad for business. WBD executives and shareholders should recognize that selling companies that depend on the First Amendment to a censorial White House puppet is not only morally wrong but harmful to their bottom line. And lawmakers, state attorneys general and anyone else in a position to intervene should make clear that they will not stand by as the Trump administration abuses its power to unconstitutionally extract content-based concessions from news companies.”
