RFK Jr's ACIP Committee has scheduled a meeting next month, but instead of surging measles cases, they will discuss long COVID and use VAERS reports to frame it as a vaccine injury! bit.ly/3MOBbIX #StopAntiVaxPropaganda

Shady JD Vance in 2024: "β€ŠOur interest, I think, very much is in not going to war with Iran. β€ŠIt would be a huge distraction of resources. It would be massively expensive to our country."

Two women convicted of stalking ICE agent during Los Angeles immigration protests Two protesters were convicted of stalking a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent in a case that could test the limits of furious protests against the Trump administration's immigration raids...

This conviction sets a dangerous precedent for people doing ICE watch work.

Don't let their legal scare tactics stop you from doing the important and constitutionally protected work of observing law enforcement in public!

Clarence Thomas Just Struck Another Blow to Black Power In his majority ruling in a sleeper case about mail delivery, Thomas opened the door to a new way for Republicans to suppress the Black vote.

In an overlooked decision this week, the Supreme Court ruled that the post office can refuse to deliver your mail, which is KIND OF SIGNIFICANT if you choose to mail your ballot.
To do this work, the anti-democracy wing turned to their favorite β€œblack friend,” Clarence Thomas.

More than 17k Korean Adoptees in US Lack Citizenship. Many Live in Minnesota. For the more than 15,000 Korean adoptees in Minnesota who lack citizenship, recent immigration raids have caused immense fear and anxiety.

Thousands of Korean adoptees lack citizenship because the U.S. adoption system brought them here but failed to secure their legal status. When adoptive parents didn’t complete the paperwork, adoptees face barriers to work, licensing, benefits, and even the threat of deportation. buff.ly/TA1UYq8 πŸ₯š

The leaked Trump Voting Takeover E.O. requires ALL voters to RE-REGISTER in person (except disabled).

Re-registering everyone in just months is a nightmarish unwarranted suppression tactic, and will crush local election staff. THEN, there will be more purges with checks against sketchy databases.

How Kansas Republicans weaponized the law to target 300 trans driver's license holders SB 244 was put into effect virtually overnight, causing chaos, panic and fear in the trans community.

New β€” I spoke to eight trans people in Kansas about the new state law that invalidated their driver’s licenses overnight, what’s it’s like to live there right now, plus details of two DMV emails exclusively obtained by The Handbasket that shed light on the law’s chaotic and cruel rollout:

Even election officials who like voter ID have issues with the SAVE America Act "It's a classic 'show your papers’ law designed to make it harder for US citizens to vote," Sec. Jocelyn Benson said.

Even some of the SAVE America Act’s cosponsors are misguided about the bill’s identification requirements for registration, mistakenly believing a state driver’s license compliant with the 2005 REAL ID Act would be sufficient. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Republicans choose power over people. The SAVE Act 2.0 blocks registration, demands passports or birth records millions do not have, οΌ† sets up mass voter purges. They fear turnout, so they’re trying to stop it.

I don't know why this is so hard. Fighters winβ€”we see that over and over, because often it's *not* about their politics! Trump was perceived as a fighter!

The most effective way to reduce Trump as a foe is undermining his narrative as a tough guy... by fighting him.

Civil rights stories removed from Border Patrol’s website during Black History Month Historical accounts of women, Black men, and the agency’s deployment against segregationists in the sixties have disappeared from the official Customs and Border Protection (CBP) website.

NEW: As Black History Month comes to a close, CBP appears to have scrubbed stories about Black people and marginalized groups' contributions to the history of the agency from an official page.

Archived versions show the changes happened the first week of February:

If you aren’t Jewish and don’t get how this is antisemitic, I’ll do a short TLDR;

Jews sometimes refer to gentiles as goy or goyim. That’s not a slur, even if it’s derogatory.

If you’re a gentile saying it, specifically self-deferentially or defiantly , it’s a guaranteed Nazi dogwhistle.

Stop repeating the lie. No such authority exists anywhere in the Constitution.

This is (another) attempt to illegally subvert an election. If you’re not calling it out, you’re complicit.
