“They’re literally putting 🇺🇸 in reverse”

Ahem

Yeh. Where are they….

Trump is threatening to sabotage HIS OWN GOVERNMENT if there is a shutdown.

Ok. Thats dumb but you own that.

Why are we not hearing Dem leaders saying that? “Well that sounds reckless, Americans won’t be happy about that.”

Hundreds of Alligator Alcatraz detainees drop off the grid after leaving site As of the end of August, the whereabouts of two-thirds of more than 1,800 men detained at Alligator Alcatraz during the month of July could not be determined by the Miami Herald.

More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

When Billie sang Strange Fruit, she was stalked by the FBI.
When Nina shouted Mississippi Goddam, she was blacklisted and driven from the stage.

Where are all the corporate media headlines demanding his resignation? Where are the all the assumptions that about specialists visiting the White House meaning the president is dying? They did this daily with Biden. Why not now? Are they covering for their cash cow? Are they paid to cover it up?

Constituent: You talked about abuses in the medicare and medicaid system and I found interesting that the president pardoned someone that defrauded the medicaid system for $1.3 billion

But there are two sides

Democracy-and fascism

And the evidence is undeniable

Donald Trump and the Republicans are pushing for fascism

Military takeover of cities
Violating Constitutional rights
Dismantling federal agencies

Every time the press fails to point it out-they’re helping the fascists

Pritzker: To the members of the press who are assembled here today and listening across the country, I am asking for your courage to tell it like it is. This is not a time to pretend here that there are two sides to this story.

Directly donate to the candidates and causes you care about and skip the greedy, self enriching folks spamming you with texts

Crockett: My former colleagues from the Texas House—decided to get the hell out of Texas… breaking quorum is where they’re at right now. And they didn’t just do it by themselves—they went to Illinois, where there is a governor that gives a damn. This fight is going to take all of us.

Talarico and Texas Dems break quorum to Halt Gerrymandering Vote.

Some inspiration just for you, from James Talarico

MAGA Inches Closer to a Ghislaine Maxwell Alliance Is perpetrating heinous crimes against children too big a hurdle for a political alliance of convenience? Maybe not.

"Not even a month ago, the idea of Trump supporters openly embracing a convicted child sex trafficker would have been unimaginable." Well, Trump sure grows some folks' imaginations.

Germany gave people €1,200/month no strings attached.

They kept working, slept better, switched to better jobs, and even gave more to others.

Turns out, when people aren’t drowning, they swim further.

#UBI doesn’t kill ambition, it frees it.
