This is so troubling. He will probably sell the images to palantir to enhance their databases of information about American citizens.

Hope this can become law. The science is solid enough to support wins against this industry.

Undocumented immigrants have never received health insurance or other benefits, (other than emergency care through Medicaid) even though they pay INTO the systemโ€ฆ $97 BILLION in 2022 federal, state, and local taxes.

The SAVE Act is voter suppression disguised as preventing voter fraud. In a desperate attempt to stay in power, it's the fascist authoritarian Trump regime's NEW SCAM to give the illusion of caring about voter fraud โ€” which is virtually non-existent in US elections, at 0.0001%.

How Donald Trump is Planning to Rig the Elections

Donald Trump wants Republicans to "take over" state elections as they're trying to pass their latest voter suppression tactics. He won't leave peacefully or legally, and the majority must be prepared.

The president had his DOJ raid an election office and seize ballots. Now he is threatening to take over elections. Sadly, this is treated by legacy media as just another normal day.

His maximum support was 31.6% of the voting age population in Nov โ€˜24; it must only have been eroding significantly since then.

And I may have too much faith in the infuriatingly ambivalent undecideds, but I believe there are a lot of them who will participate this November, against Republi-scum.

I agree that paywalls are inhibiting the flow of information to society, and that is a serious concern.
The donation model seems successful sometimes (I can only come up with The Onion off the top of my head).

Street doesnโ€™t appear blocked. I would have tried driving in that lane too, but it did appear to be going faster than I would. If a car can drive in an open lane like that and the police arenโ€™t blocking the lane then itโ€™s fine.
