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.

Kinda weird that the party that controls the House, the Senate, and the White House claims there's rampant voter fraud.

Don’t Be the Useful Idiot They’re Praying For A hard look at why calls for violence feel righteous, fail historically, and get innocent people crushed

ICE IS REGROUPING and looking for another city to create the INSURRECTION they need in time for elections.

“Minneapolis did something rare in modern political life:

They metabolized it.

They protested.
They documented.

EPA reverses long-standing climate change finding, stripping its own ability to regulate emissions The agency announced it is repealing its 2009 conclusion that greenhouse gases warm the Earth and endanger human health and well-being.

There are so many fucked up things with the current administration that it's hard to focus on one but this recent move is basically a death sentence for the planet. I've been involved with more boots on the ground actions over the years than I can count and this really bums me out.

You’ll notice that not one single reporter stood up for/defended CNN’s Kaitlan Collins as she was being verbally attacked by the orange felon in the bulldozed White House. They can’t even stand up for one of their own so there’s no hope of them ever standing up for democracy.

FWIW, declaring martial law does not stop elections.

Trump abuses his power when people believe he can. If enough of us erroneously believe it, it only gives him more power.

Hugo Lowell told MSNOW that the Trump administration expects that the murder of Alex Pretti will "blow over and go away." They believe that Americans will forget about it in a week or so.

Whistleblowers just shared a memo showing DHS instructing ICE to force their way into peoples' houses without a proper warrant. Why is this not on all the networks right now? This is a criminal conspiracy to violate rights under color of law.

This video is the perfect encapsulation of the illegal, thuggish, unprovoked, violent conduct of ICE. Rep. @benniethompson.bsky.social, I trust that you and the House Homeland Security Committee will have interest in this.

ICE rammed into a car at 34th and Park And then began to question the immigration status of U.S. Citizen Latino’s they crashed into.

They also deployed chemical irritants into the eyes of the press. Abolish ICE now.

My First 72 Hours in Minneapolis and How I Got an ICE Agent to Scream “MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN” The activists on the ground are doing the work, that should give you hope.

"Here are the demands we all need to make: Use the National Guard to protect our citizens. Arrest agents who commit crimes. Charge police, National Guard, and ICE with crimes when they commit or refuse to stop them. . . . Do it now."

This is very good from WaPo. Note position of officer's feet to side of car when first shot is fired. I think everyone defending this should be asked: Was it not even an *overreaction* to fire those shots, especially 2 & 3, into her face point-blank with the officer clearly not in danger? Really?
