Red States Target Voters in New Stealth Attacks Read more here.

Instead of high-profile battles waged in key states, we’ve seen a handful of mostly smaller red states — many of which already weren’t making things easy for voters — pass laws imposing new restrictions, and largely escaping serious media scrutiny. www.democracydocket.com/analysis/red...

AOC: "We need to be talking about ICE agents and the cowardly policy of covering their faces

The president has covered the Oval Office in gold, is planning a massive military parade for his birthday, and is now accepting $400,000,000 luxury planes from foreign powers as personal presents.

What the fuck are we doing here?

Just curious, what’s the tariff on a $400 million jet from Qatar?

Let's get to work, America!

It's tough to refer to someone as a criminal if you've given them no due process to determine whether they're a criminal. Like if you get arrested and get a trial and are convicted of 34 felony counts. That's due process. You can call that guy a criminal.

Kamala Harris: The courage of Americans who are speaking out to say, it is not ok to violate court orders. Saying it is not ok to detain and disappear American citizens or anyone without due process. The courage of judges to uphold the rule of law in the face of those who would jail them.

Peter Thiel is living proof that you can be rich, smart, and still be a soulless little freak who dreams of enslaving the world that made him.
He built his fortune in a free country — and now spends it like a brat king trying to erase the freedom he never deserved.

No more Amazon. No more silent paychecks to corporations funding fascism.
Walk out. Sit down. Log off.
They own the courts, the media, the ballots.But they don’t run without us.
Mass boycott. Nationwide stop work. Civil disruption.

Defy and disrupt are the hallmark techniques of civil resistance.

As @bankston.bsky.social so eloquently says:

Elon Musk may or may not fulfill his promise to step back from DOGE.

But his legacy is already clear: He is assembling a sprawling domestic surveillance system — the likes of which we have never seen in the United States.
