Hero’s of the day - In a small town of Beckley, WV, Kendra Sullivan staged a one-woman No Kings protest. She was confronted, had the police called on her, but stood her ground. She was physically threatened. Police came more than once and protected her right to protest. This is how we do it.

One Republican Now Controls a Huge Chunk of US Election Infrastructure Former GOP operative Scott Leiendecker just bought Dominion Voting Systems, giving him ownership of voting systems used in 27 states. Election experts don't know what to think.

Gee, I'm sure this is nothing to worry about.

I visited the apartment building ICE raided on Tuesday today. Story to come, but you can walk right in. Half of the apartments have no doors on them. Children's stuff abandoned in some flats. *Citizen* residents told me they were arrested and held for hours in zipties. This is America

This Program Rescued Army Recruiting

Interesting article, both to learn about this program and where some of the participants are coming from in terms of background, desperation, and their evident determination.

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."

SCOOP β€” The White House instructed all federal agency leadership on Tuesday to send out a mandatory message to workers blaming the impending potential government shutdown on House Democrats, The Handbasket was first to learn. Absolutely no modifications to the email were permitted.

Why trying to hide history of World War II Japanese American imprisonment is an affront to liberty OPINION: The Trump administration’s bid to whitewash history, to muzzle those who suffered in the service of a flawed ideal of national unity, is dangerous, Karyl Matsumoto writes.

Well-written. If we can't reflect on our history, and consider how society or opinions have changed over time, we can't grow.
