Jojo!

The psychology that twists coverage in Trump’s favor is transparent, once you accept that psychology plays a role. They want to be perceived as neutral by their peers, and they know their peers suspect them of anti-Trump bias. So they demonstrate independence by scrutinizing Dems and praising Trump.

Your local library is full of media that the president hates but can't use his regulatory power to get rid of.

Wow what an ad.

What a GOP Abortion Bill Would Have Forced Me to Do Just short of 23 weeks, I awoke to find I was having contractions. This was nightmare enough. A Republican bill would compound the nightmare for every woman in my position.

Today is my annual reminder that you know someone who has had a birth outcome Republicans across the country are attempting or have succeeded in criminalizing. Six years ago today, I lost a pregnancy late in the second trimester. You might not know that you know me or a person like me, but you do!

The wildest thing about this era is watching so many institutions say out loud yeah, we’re done committing ourselves to excellence, we’re going to specialize in the coddling of mediocre white men

STFU about middle and hs sports and stop being a weirdo. Be an advocate for human rights or lose votes.

Trans right are human rights.

TRANS RIGHTS ARE HUMAN RIGHTS

I recruit local candidates, phone bank for all districts, set recurring donations,etc. BUT If you scapegoat ANY human rights, I will never fight for you. I may apologize for you after your success (OBAMA GAY MARRIAGE). Prepare your volunteers for the consequences of your words and lack of action.

These are my standards:
1) You have enough friends that you have at least 5 people you can call at any time if you've had a flat tire (not a romantic partner), and they'll show up.
2) You have done enough community work that you can arrange a performance of "Hey Big Spender" within 7 days' notice.

64% of Medicaid recipients under age 65 work, per KFF. As for the rest, see below. There are not 34m potential agricultural workers on Medicaid just raring to go pick vegetables.

I was admonished. My reputation, besmirched. My good name, dragged through the mud. They said I fell for fake news.

Well look upon the truth and weep, cowards!

Because Black people know that there is no such thing as “identification” or “identifying yourself”. They aren’t saying Padilla didn’t identify himself as a U.S. Senator. They are saying that there is only one acceptable identity — credential — being white and, in these times, being pro-Trump.

This part!

There are a lot of people claiming to fight "fascism" that are trying to reinvent the wheel

They're new to this and don't realize many of us have been doing it for decades

If you don't know WHY they like to call everything "Communism" then it's time to be quiet & learn

Know Your Digital Privacy Rights with Esha Bhandari and Daniel Kahn Gillmor End-to-end encryption. Burner phones. Biometric authentication. Our technology is more advanced than ever, but what does that mean for our digital footprints—and how our data is tracked, whether we’re...

On this episode of At Liberty, ACLU experts join host W. Kamau Bell to discuss how protecting our data can help protect our freedom of speech and expression.

More of the GOP war on kids.

Love to see these initiatives. Profs whose courses have been canceled by universities bowing to the Feds, starting their own courses. People of a certain age may recall the 70s, under Reagan, Thatcher, Mulroney and Pinochet, when free universities became a resistance thing. History is never linear.

just a reminder that alito predates all this maga shit

he is on scotus because of george w bush, one of the worst people to have ever lived

and i am sick about liberals and democrats making goo-goo eyes at bush

The official White House Twitter account tweeted the following: "Fixed it for you, @NYTimes. Oh, and by the way, @ChrisVanHollen — he’s NOT coming back."

The sheer fucking arrogance here is just something else...

I was just reminded that this administration had no problem facilitating Andrew Tate's release from custody in Romania.

Why My Firm Is Standing Up for the Constitution Big Law should remain independent rather than have the government dictate who it represents.

"But there would always be a question mark in the client’s head: Is my lawyer saying this because he believes it—or is the lawyer saying this because he’s trying to preserve his law firm’s settlement with the government?" www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

We've reached the point in our descent into fascism where the Jewish governor's house getting firebombed on Passover by a guy trying to bash his head in with a sledgehammer is overshadowed by the story of the President saying he wants to build foreign gulags for US citizens.

MAGAs Are Punishing Women For Taking Their Husband's Names Here's how my wife Ayesha responded when I asked if she would change her last name to Rashid

Over the last nine Presidential elections, men vote red by about 10 points, and women are the opposite. So, MAGAs Are Banning Women From Voting Because Women Vote Blue

If your path to ‘win’ is voter suppression, it isn’t democracy you support, it’s dictatorship.

Stephen Miller, a white nationalist and racist, is the mastermind behind all this anti-immigrant cruelty and he's found the perfect vessel in Donald Trump, another racist, who seems mostly checked out during his second Administration. But, he's golfing on your tax payer dollar.

What would a general strike in the US actually look like? General strikes have been the final means to overcome tyrants around the world. What can be done to lay the groundwork for one in the US?

Some reading material on a general strike.
