Life moves fast, and the people we love don’t always hear how much they mean to us. Take a moment to say something kind, send a thoughtful text, or offer a warm hug. Small words can leave a lasting glow. 💛

You never know how much someone might need it today.

Other countries hold their leaders accountable Why can't we?

It sure would be nice if the 6 traitors on the subpreme court could see this.

It’s giving middle passage

Oh such truthful statements 💯💯🎯

HELLO?!?

We’ve only been saying this for 16 months now!!!!

The Conservative Legal Advocates Working to Kill Trump’s Tariffs The New Civil Liberties Alliance is mounting a constitutional challenge to one of the biggest policy questions of our time. Will others follow?

I wrote about some of them here. But there are so many other lawyers and businesses who stepped up.

They all should be celebrated today. Not the Supreme Court. www.newyorker.com/news/the-led...

Supreme Court finally realized they can’t entirely abandon their jobs and give 47 free rein??

Turns out there’s an economic cost to everyone hating us.

Report: ICE Officials Ignored Clear Warning Signs Before Killings ICE officials were well aware that their officers were using force in reckless and inappropriate ways before an officer shot Renee Nicole Good to death in Minneapolis.

Kinda weird that the party that controls the House, the Senate, and the White House claims there's rampant voter fraud.

I've been seeing a lot of people disparaging democracy as a failure. It has not failed us. We however as a nation have been failing it.

For it to succeed, it needs an engaged and informed populace. Which is why those who want power but not responsibility, attack Free speech and public education

It’s obvious that there are many many questions after Wexner’s testimony. But did Rep. @robertgarcia.bsky.social forget this? www.ms.now/news/greene-...

PROJECTION. ffs, it's everything they say. Control the narrative by accusing someone else of your crimes first.

Allegations in Epstein files may amount to 'crimes against humanity,' UN experts say Millions of files related to the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein suggest the existence of a "global criminal enterprise" that carried out acts meeting the legal threshold of crimes against humanity,...

Millions of Epstein files suggest the existence of a 'global criminal enterprise' that carried out acts meeting the legal threshold of crimes against humanity, a panel of independent experts appointed by the UN Human Rights Council says.

I couldn't forward the article but I think the headline says it all.

It seems that most politicians are sponsored by groups like AIPAC and the Heritage Foundation, so these politicians are going to serve the sponsor, and not the citizens. A democracy WILL NOT WORK unless these sponsorships are limited and made public, IF that is possible.

How to Compete in Unfair Elections | Journal of Democracy Opposition movements often boycott rigged polls rather than risk legitimizing an autocrat. It is usually a mistake. Here is the playbook for how one opposition seized the advantage.

"Leaders of electoral authoritarian regimes use unfair elections to deceive their citizens, create the illusion of popular support, & legitimize their rule...nefarious tactics include repressing the opposition &... manipulating the law, media, electoral administration, & campaign resources."

Veterans slam new VA rule for determining disability ratings The new rule states that a disability level must be based on how well a veteran functions while on medication and not on the underlying impairment.

I told you they’d come after Veterans’ benefits. www.stripes.com/veterans/202...

There’s only 1 person in Congress who doesn’t trade stocks, doesn’t take corporate PAC money, and has a public schedule. That’s me. And it should be the standard.

Right-wing influencers are going viral claiming voter fraud. The problem? They’re wrong “A lot of this is about homeless people, or people who are in sort of dire situations financially, living in buildings that are condemned… and moving, and therefore the building no longer exists. But ...

Right-wing influencers like Johnson were primarily taking aim at homeless and transitional housing — and exaggerating their “findings.” It’s a strategy state election officials have long been aware of. www.democracydocket.com/analysis/rig...

GOP Rep. Carter (GA): "We can't have a warrant every time"

You cannot be a "patriot" and be OK with lawlessness.

A photograph of the back of a man's head. He is wearing a gray baseball cap that says QUAKER in small white letters across the back. Around him we can see a crowd of protestors, some carrying signs criticizing the Trump administration and the invasion of Venezuela.

When I started this week’s message, I hadn’t anticipated that the language 17th-century Parliament used in a law that made Quaker meetings illegal would so closely echo the rhetoric our current regime employs to smear all antifascists as a “domestic terror organization.”
