Just a concerned person.
Texas is preparing emergency resources for wildfires and floods. The Texas National Guard should be THERE β not in Illinois.
We stand ready to support their return home so they are best positioned for helping Texans respond to any natural disasters.
We are in a time of frightening darkness but people are still stepping up and doing the right thing.
We must keep kicking at the authoritarian darkness until it bleeds daylight.
No one is covering the threats to our democracy like the 20-person team at Democracy Docket. No venture capital, no corporate overloads, no compromises. Just pro-democracy news, information and analysis.
Help support their efforts to hold power to account and keep you informed.
The nationβs largest private prison company is asking the Supreme Court to give federal contractors blanket immunity from lawsuits β including human trafficking claims.
If they win, private contractors could operate with even less accountability than they do now.
Yes, truly!

βοΈRussia canceled its first Russia-Arab summit because most of Arab leaders would not attend it.
The summit was supposed to take place on October 15, but a week earlier, it turned out that only acting president of Syria and Prime Minister of Iraq confirmed their participation.
OK, Pete Hegsethβs an idiot. He left out the word βtrainingβ when he said weβre building a Qatari Air Force facility. So I get why people were confused after his announcement yesterday, but I keep seeing folks repeat some version of βQatar is building an airbase in Idaho.β
Thatβs not happening.

ICE abducted a 15-year-old autistic boy during a bathroom break and kept him hidden for nearly a week.
His mother thought he was missing. Even local police couldnβt find him because ICE never told anyone they had him.
He was selling fruit with his mom when he asked to use the restroom.
