This isn’t about accuracy. It’s about erasure.

The census isn’t just about political representation. It decides who gets funded and who gets ignored.

This move will starve communities of color of federal money for healthcare, education, disaster relief, and emergency response.

A decade of Supreme Court rulings have given states increasingly unfettered power in redistricting For now, the Voting Rights Act imposes some restraints, but the court has also signaled it could further weaken the landmark law that protects minority voters.

The Perito Moreno Glacier in Argentina has been thinning at a sharply accelerated rate since 2019, scientists reported on Thursday. And if the thinning doesn’t slow, it could kick-start a series of changes that might cause the ice to shrink even faster. nyti.ms/4lgguR2

The next part of the plan to steal the midterms and/or the 2028 election - an attempt to do a mid-decade census to take seats and electoral votes away from blue states. I knew this was coming.

I believe all the survivors & truly think there are so many more who just are afraid to come forward. Who would blame them? This woman, Alicia came forward & nothing happened. The rich and powerful in this Epstein case need to face the consequences of their actions NOW! #Releasethefiles!

Texas House issues arrest warrants for Democrats who left state to block congressional redistricting The warrants apply only within state lines, making them largely symbolic as most of the legislators in question decamped to Illinois, New York and Massachusetts.

Following up on our last post, things are getting more crazy by the day. Using federal law enforcement to go after your political opponents isn’t democracy. It’s authoritarianism. Call it what it is fascism.

At a time in history when the most influential leaders of the U.S. need to stand up loudly and clearly for the rule of law, democracy, and decency, they are leading the charge in the opposite direction β€” fawning over the most dangerous authoritarian America has ever witnessed.

Fact check:

mRNA vaccines for respiratory viruses are meant to prevent severe illness (bad Pneumonia).

This means beefing up our immunity in the *lower* respiratory tract, eg the lungs.

Kennedy talks about the *upper* respiratory tract and vaccine efficacy in nonsensical gibberish.
