Mandatory annual online re-registration. Requiring anyone casting an absentee ballot to find a notary. No dropboxes. All post-election disputes federalized. 😟

It sucks that an authoritarian is using corruption and strongarming to consolidate legacy media brands under the control of friendly oligarchs. But it's also going to show how weakened those assets are. It's the old regime consolidation playbook. They matter a lot less than they imagine these days.

Now do the same for the Jones Act.
When you boil it down, None Act opponents make the same arguments
Which makes sense since often they're the same people.
(Well the same think tanks actually)
I guess one upside to the authoritarian takeover of all streaming, cable, and broadcast media is all the money I'm going to save stealing content instead of paying subscription fees to fascists.

To win over Trump, they canceled Colbert, blocked a 60 Minutes CECOT investigation, and blocked Talarico. Much more will follow. Block this rotten deal.

Minnesota is a donor state, getting back only $0.71 in federal dollars for every federal tax dollar its people pay. So if we're gonna talk about being "good stewards of the American people's tax money" it isn't Minnesota we should be looking at.

Democracy is dying in America.
ICE is a murderous secret police force. We’re about to bomb Iran for Israel. Your kids are shot at in school daily, and pedophiles run our government. There’s no healthcare, and your food is poisonous.
We need real leaders - not career politicians.
Because Republicans.
How do you spell misogyny?
They beat a blind refugee who speaks no English for failing to obey police commands he could not understand. Then instead of apologizing, they charged him with possession of a “weapon”—HIS WALKING STICK. Then they dumped him miles from home without notifying anyone, after which he was found dead.
