THESE HORRENDOUS TIMES

🚨PROP 50 IS SO IMPORTANT 🚨

BALLOTS HAVE BEEN MAILED

Dear Californians please help tell your friends and neighbors to VOTE YES ON PROP 50

Many of us are phonebanking to California Voters & we need your help !
Tell them YES

Our country has been hijacked by mob bosses who use corruption, extortion, and intimidation to instill fear and submission into all of us.
 
When we reopen the government, we must fight to make sure it’s working for you, not the mob bosses in power.

A 17 y/o guy ran down two 17
y/o girls in his car, killing them both. The reason he murdered them was because one of them spurned his advances and the other insulted Charlie Kirk. He then laughed about their deaths on a gaming site.

He was NOT arrested. He was ticketed instead.

KFF Donate Q What Are the Origins of the Comstock Act? In 1873 - at the behest of anti-vice crusader, Anthony Comstock - Congress enacted a law banning the interstate mailing and receiving of "obscene, lewd, or lascivious" writings, or "any article or thing designed or intended for the prevention of conception or procuring an abortion." In 1909, Congress enacted a similar law banning the use of express company or common carrier (such as FedEx or UPS) to mail "any drug, medicine, article, or thing designed, adapted, or intended for preventing conception or producing abortion, or for any indecent or immoral use." These laws came to be known collectively as the Comstock Act. The scope of what constituted obscene or lewd material was far broader at the time, and in the late 1800s and early 1900s, the Comstock Act was used to prosecute a wide array of violations.

How the Comstock Act became inactive for books • Passed in 1873: The original Comstock Act made it illegal to send "obscene, lewd, or lascivious" materials through the U.S. mail, which was interpreted to cover a broad range of publications, including anatomy books and classic literature. • Obscenity standard narrowed: Over decades, court rulings progressively narrowed the scope of what is considered legally obscene, limiting the act's reach. Key Supreme Court decisions, including Roth v. United States (1957) and Miller v. California (1973), established a more precise definition of obscenity, making it much harder to prosecute the mailing of books. • Free speech protections: Subsequent First Amendment challenges further protected free speech rights, rendering the Comstock Act obsolete for censoring non-obscene publications. As a result, the mailing of most magazines and books is now considered common and legal. • Modern focus is different: Today, enforcement of the Comstock Act's obscenity provisions is focused almost exclusively on child and violent pornography.

For Monday of Banned Books Week, we explore the Comstock Acts, enacted in 1873 and 1909. While we tend to think of this federal law today in terms of efforts to restrict access to birth control and abortion medications, they originally targeted literature as well. (Thread)

Illinois Governor JB Pritzker explains what he believes is Donald Trump's real goal in normalizing a military presence in U.S. cities by dressing ICE and Border Patrol agents in military gear.

Watch:

Taxpayers which include immigrants who pay the same in their paychecks as the rest of us. Yes they deserve healthcare because we are a civilized country, or we use to be. #momsky

Our nation is in the clutches of a large club for men who cannot regulate their emotions, cannot find a way to be important on a level playing field, and need to repackage harm as heroic because they can't be heroes the noble way. Real impressive to show the vulnerable whose boss, fellas.

This says power and privilege felt by agents, We the People have the power. #momsky #disability

Our money the government is using while we need healthcare, hospitals, Medicare, Medicaid and lower priced prescriptions.

1 pound of ground beef at Walmart is $8.47 via the app

How crazy is it that a pound of ground beef can cost more than most states minimum wage? In Indiana minimum wage is $7.25 per hour. And this is the cost of a pound of ground beef at Walmart via the app. #Trumpflation

No Kings On June 14—Flag Day—Donald Trump wants tanks in the street and a made-for-TV display of dominance for his birthday. A spectacle meant to look like strength. But real power isn’t staged in Washington. ...

All these organizations advocate for non-violent protest and resistance.
If 11-million+ USAians participate in a #GeneralStrike, change can be made.

Next big protest: SEPTEMBER 1

If they come,
Meet them head on. But don’t play their game. Do as LA ; music , dance , don’t let them think they have you.
See a road block advertise it , you see ice advertise it. Avoid violent confrontation, but confront. Record all you see.
Stand up
Do your part

Shame on us for repeating this horrific history.

No, wherever you are make a no sign. Shout No! Let's show them from everywhere what they should be voting, No!

The Gutting of America’s Medical Research: Here Is Every Canceled or Delayed N.I.H. Grant Some cuts have been starkly visible, but the country’s medical grant-making machinery has also radically transformed outside the public eye.

"Tanner, a chemist at the Univ. of Mississippi working to develop a novel approach for treating glioblastoma, was notified in April that the grant was terminated.

“I would like to cure brain cancer,” Dr. Tanner said. “I think that's not particularly controversial.”
