Memento Mori Me

Voting systems should be handled by a non-partisan entity to ensure trust.

We stand with Rep. Jasmine Crockett in calling for an end to voting machines owned by Dominion. Our voting systems should never be controlled by anyone aligned with MAGA politics. It’s time to push for statewide bans on these machines.

The rec center as oasis Although technically on vacation, you could find Herman Harried walking through the doors of East Baltimore’s Cecil Kirk Recreation Center most mornings this summer. He wasn’t there on the clock, but ...

A great piece in @baltimorebeat.bsky.social on the history & revival of rec centers for youth in Baltimore. A critical community infrastructure with deep roots in Black neighborhoods given new life by @mayorbmscott.bsky.social.

We need not point out that a president posting a video depicting his opponents as prey for the Grim Reaper and zombies outside the ‘unemployment office’ is the opposite of what we expect in a healthy democracy.

Trump mandates all federal agencies send email blaming Dems for potential gov’t shutdown Workers call the partisan email "a vile slap in the face."

Terrifying and illegal. Big Brother is not only watching, he's dictating what your emails can say and then getting into your account and changing them if you don't follow orders. Broken by @marisakabas.bsky.social 1/2 www.thehandbasket.co/p/trump-omb-...

Trump Canceled 94 Million Pounds of Food Aid. Here’s What Never Arrived. ProPublica obtained records from the Department of Agriculture that detail the millions of pounds of food, down to the number of eggs, that never reached food banks because of the administration’s cut...

NEW: ProPublica obtained records from the Department of Agriculture that detail the millions of pounds of food, down to the number of eggs, that never reached food banks because of the Trump administration’s cuts to an aid program.

Federal agents reporting to Secretary Noem have spent weeks snatching up families, scaring law-abiding residents, violating due process rights, and even detaining U.S. citizens.

They fail to focus on violent criminals and instead create panic in our communities.

Israel committed piracy by illegally intercepting the #GlobalSumudFlotilla in international waters.

Human rights defenders, from 46 countries, including Greta Thunberg, were abducted as nearly 40 vessels carrying aid, for genocide & starvation stricken Gaza, were stopped. #3E

Sanders: These projects have been appropriated. They were signed by a president. It is illegal to rescind them. And to say to people in Vermont, in New York and California, oh, you didn't vote for Donald Trump, we're going to take away funding that was supposed to go to your state… illegal

I really, really love this.

Hegseth orders rare, urgent meeting of hundreds of generals, admirals The Pentagon has summoned military officials from around the world for a gathering in Virginia. Top generals and their staffs don’t know the reason for the meeting.

Imagine the response if a Dem Administration removed every top general and admiral from every US military post all around the world (including conflict zones), in order to force them to attend a big in-person meeting in DC (with a former cable news co-host).

A war between Russia and Europe if it lasts more than a week will not be regional, Canada*, South Korea, Australia and Japan would also engage Russian forces and other allied nations would send supplies and troops from all over the world. It's a world war.

ICYMI from Tuesday’s show: We took a little trip down to the National Mall to check out a Trump-Epstein statue dedicated to their “friendship.” We found a steady stream of tourists and local residents who had to see it for themselves.

Justice Department Sues Six States for Failure to Provide Voter Registration Rolls Today the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division announced the filing of federal lawsuits against six states — California, Michigan, Minnesota, New York, New Hampshire, and Pennsylvania — for fail...

Because of repeated defeats in special elections, Trump’s team is escalating legal battles to force access to voter data a move that is a direct attempt to undermine privacy and control future elections after being rejected at the ballot box.

The lawsuits target California, Michigan, Minnesota, New York, New Hampshire, and Pennsylvania, following earlier cases filed against Maine and Oregon. All of these states have rejected previous demands to hand over statewide voter rolls containing sensitive personal information.

Across the country, special elections keep going against Trump and his allies and that backlash is exactly why his administration is doubling down. The Department of Justice sued six states, including Pennsylvania, the nation’s biggest presidential battleground, in a push to seize voter data.

I stand with PBS.

I stand with NPR.

I stand with Stephen Colbert.

I stand with Jimmy Kimmel.

I stand with the First Amendment.

PERIOD.*

"The path that leads someone to a potter’s field as their final resting place is a complex, layered, messy one. Actually, there isn’t just one path, but many, which often begin long before the death bed." www.pangyrus.com/essay-memoir...

Trump floats pulling TV licenses after Kimmel suspension Trump said networks critical of him could lose licenses, echoing threats before Jimmy Kimmel's suspension.

Trump said that federal regulators should revoke the broadcast licenses of late-night hosts who speak negatively about him.

Federal officers took 11 Democratic officials into custody inside a federal building in Lower Manhattan after the group demanded entry to Immigration and Customs Enforcement holding cells where migrants were being detained.

The head of the Federal Communications Commission even suggested ABC’s broadcast license, as a Disney subsidiary, could be at risk. Aren’t late-night shows supposed to pushing the envelope? Yet Fox News can claim we kill the homeless through involuntary lethal injections and it’s met with crickets.

They want to shut you up. To crush dissent. To end free speech. This is un-American.

It’s crucial to remember-Susan Monarez was appointed CDC Director by Trump

She’s not a Democrat they can claim has some agenda

She’s MAGA

And she’s saying that RFK, Jr is ignoring science about vaccines

Which will cause more epidemics like the measles outbreak in Texas

So more children will die

Yeah this!!!

A&M Dean removed following student complaints over curriculum The Department of Justice has also acknowledged the situation and said it would be investigating.

Faculty in red states are being punished for failing to signal in their course descriptions that their classes will include content on "gender ideology."

Remind me again which party was appalled by idea of "trigger warnings"?

Rep. Massie is dropping nuggets.

The Trump regime is targeting US veterans specifically.

He sent his goon squad to arrest a patriot for conspiracy, and the conspiracy? A peaceful protest against ICE.

All he has to do is label them terrorists and he’ll murder them too. #3E

Trump: “It’s time to end the Democrat Epstein Hoax.”

This is pure panic.

I think we can safely lay to rest the entire mythos around Trump being unable to call up the National Guard on January 6th.

read trump's new executive order on domestic military dplymt + vigilante "portal." one of the reasons i am happy to be an independent journalist is so I can say that this is crazy, fascist, brownshirts shit without getting pulled into a meeting with PR for "opening us up to criticism from the right"
