It is a practice in conflict with the principles of transparency & accountability that are central to the concept of democracy.

βThis is the most massive secrecy grab in Texas since the adoption of the Public Information Act.β
Last week's top story: This bill would supercharge cops' ability to hide misconduct.
The ratio of CEO pay to worker pay is almost 300 to 1.
Are we really supposed to believe CEOs work 300 times harder or create 300 times more value than us?
The Palestinian Health Ministry said Monday that more than 62,000 Palestinians have been killed in the 22-month war in Gaza.
The ministry is staffed by medical professionals. The UN and other independent experts view its figures as the most reliable count of casualties. https://to.pbs.org/45pmdQ9

249 years since we declared independence from a king, the work of living up to our founding promise is more important than ever - and it calls on each of us to do what we can for our country.
May this Fourth of July remind us of where we came from, of what weβre fighting for, and of who we can be.
Organize.
Mobilize.
Resist.
Power to the people.

Voting has begun on the GOP plan to cut off health care for working-class Americans and slash taxes for the wealthiest.
Adding $3.3 trillion dollars to the national debt while denying health insurance to 12 million more people. This might be one of the worst bills out of congress in the modern age.
