The "Accountability" issue is getting muddled and we should be clear about what it is and isn't. I don't need Democrats to post Trumpian memes and say swears on TV, I want them to impose legal consequences on our criminal president and his accomplices. Until they can, they should cheerlead for it

Getting shown up in the arena of elite impunity by *the British monarchy* is an incredible β€œAmerica at 250!” achievement

declaring β€œwe will win”. it’s gonna take work, lots Yes, we’re tired. But sign that ballot, check that voter registration, listen to folks in your communities, be there for them and then be there for the candidates you believe in, run for something, donate, show up, never give up. It’s up to us.

So, the US govt approach is:
*We are going to scan tourists social media accounts and deny visas because of content we dislike, like mocking Trump
and
*We are going to allow foreigners a work-around to consume social media content their governments have banned, including hate speech

This is an extremely common thing and a serious reckoning with informed consent needs to take it into account. Also the fact that *the child's interest is more important than the parent's right to be an idiot*

This is well put. So *many* technologies are joyous and progressive. The web was invented in a PUBLICLY FUNDED UNIVERSITY! It is, in fact, an aberration that the fascist VCs think they're the default with their approach to tech. They were only ever supposed to be a tiny fraction of the ecosystem.

And the Republicans refused to fix our path to citizenship process for decades bc
1) allowed corps to exploit workers
2) fears that immigrants might vote Dem
3) sheer racism

Meme by Brian Tyler Cohen with picture of Senator Chris Coons with his quote: "Trump and the entire Republican party have spent 6 years searching high and low for voter fraud in the 2020 election. They've found nothing. Nada. Zilch. So why do they want millions of citizens to fight through bureaucratic red tape just to solve a problem that doesn't exist?"

The SAVE Act is VOTER SUPPRESSION.

Non-citizens NEVER influenced the outcome of ANY US election. This FACT has been proven over & over. THEY DON'T VOTE BECAUSE IT'S ILLEGAL.

Republicans hope to make voting much harder & more expensive for millions of citizens.

Their bill is a poll tax. 🀬

Molinaro leaving Trump administration to run for NY Assembly Marc Molinaro is leaving the Trump administration to run for a state Assembly seat that represents a large swath of the Hudson Valley.

Remember #MAGAMarc? He sees the writing on the wall and is jumping ship with a lot of other rats who've pocketed taxpayer funded $$ & perks for enabling cruelty & chaos. Bad news for #HudsonValley.
