Fascinating how this overlaps with the next scheduled protest.

🚨House Republicans just passed a bill that would disenfranchise 70 million married American women. Under the SAVE Act, women who took their spouse’s last name and don't have an updated passport or birth certificate would be turned away at the polls.

For no particular reason, here's some data from the last election

Did you keep your maiden name after marriage?   Does your birth certificate match your current legal name?   Do you have a valid U.S. passport?   If you answered no to any of these questions, you won’t be able to register to vote under the Republican SAVE Act.

"Pressed for evidence against Mahmoud Khalil, the government cites its power to deport people for beliefs" apnews.com/article/mahm... Wait, what?!

Leavitt confirmed that the WH is working on deporting US citizens to El Salvador

"The implication...is that not only noncitizens but also U.S. citizens could be taken off the streets, forced onto planes, and confined to foreign prisons with no opportunity for redress if judicial review is denied unlawfully before removal. History is no stranger to such lawless regimes..."

Also, please memorize this: "I INVOKE MY RIGHTS TO SILENCE AND COUNSEL AND WILL NOT ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS WITHOUT MY ATTORNEY PRESENT." That, "am I free to leave?", and identifying yourself in stop-and-ID states are the only things you should ever say to police. Ever.

🚨 BREAKING NEWS: the Republican-majority on the N.C. Court of Appeals rules to overturn the decision of the Wake County Superior Court (and the voters in the state) in a 2-1 decision to disenfranchise more than 65,000 voters from LAST year’s election. ⬇️ appellate.nccourts.org/opinions/?c=2&…

Just some things to watch out for on Saturday. From a Veteran who was at Standing Rock. We know there were paid agitators there. We know there were unpaid and paid agitators during BLM marches '20. They'll be out on Saturday. Stay safe, pay attention! #SheShed #MomSky #Voices4Victory

Know the signs of a paid agitator during a protest .. ... Call them out on video .. ... Do not let them start violence ..

Trump's former FCC chair is back to finish his job of waging war on a free and fair Internet — and corporate media is cowardly silent on it. Here's what you need to know, because it is too dangerous to remain ignorant to this massive assault on our free speech www.qasimrashid.com/p/we-cannot-...

Strom Thurmond and Elon both taking an L on the same day is a hell of a white supremacy bankshot

Susan Crawford ran directly against Elon Musk's millions & struck first electoral blow against Trump-Musk plan for oligarchy. Dems should replicate this in every race Progressives will now control WI Supreme Court through 2028 & can strike down 1849 abortion ban, Act 10, gerrymandered US House map

We reported on this a few days ago, but I want to point out this headline because this is where we are at. A bill in Arkansas would ban gender affirming HAIRCUTS for transgender youth. HAIRCUTS. This is a straight up North Korea state sanctioned hairstyle proposed law for youth.

“I'm horrified by what the Trumpists are doing and by the moral ugliness of it; but I'm moved and exhilarated by what a whole lot of the rest of us are doing, and the moral beauty of it. The horror and the wonder can coexist, just as the worst and best of us do.” @rebeccasolnit.bsky.social

news in america: you will have to drink shit in water. we are going to end education. we will deport you for having the wrong opinion news in any other country:

Anyone who votes to censure Al Green deserves to get hot grits poured on them

Only one man in that chamber understood the moment and had the courage to stand up to the bully, right to his bloated orange face.

Time to call your Democratic Representatives and tell them if they vote to censure Al Green you will devote your life to seeing them primaried

🧸

Democrats even *thinking* about joining Republicans to censure Al Green for having the courage to stand up while they sat down do not deserve to be able to generate a single fundraising dollar from a person of moral character ever again.

Any Democrat who votes in favor of censuring Al Green should be ashamed of themselves. Do not give Republicans one single Democratic vote. FIGHT!

Hard to believe that this has to be said.

Ok now this is how you do it. 40 days might actually have some impact.

Another day, another email from a cranky "AI" supporter having a temper tantrum over the fact that I'll ban them for using their favorite toy in our house. We do not allow the use of generative "AI" at all. That isn't going to change and you aren't being oppressed by our policy.

i don't like warner and i'd like to see him primaried out, but i think it's interesting that we're starting to see federal level dems openly admit to being wrong on national television (murphy did this recently, so did blumenthal). your calls are working.

Are your Congressional reps refusing to hold town halls? Tim Walz will come to your district and meet with residents instead.

There’s a vote for the REI Board! If you’re an active member you can vote at vote.escvote.com/REI/ The board has union busted and endorsed Burgum for Dept of Interior. They are unfit for their roles and need to be voted out.

When 'return to tradition' means rivers catching fire

These buildings provide data for virtually every weather forecast in the US. A recent study found that every $1 invested in weather forecasting provides $73 of value in return. Dismantling NWS infrastructure is one of the least efficient and most reckless things you can do.

The Supreme Court's first and only opinion today is San Francisco v. EPA. The majority substantially weakens the Clean Water Act's limitations on raw sewage discharge. It is 5–4 in relevant part, with Barrett, Sotomayor, Kagan, and Jackson dissenting. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/24p...

can't wait to see all the corn grown for ethanol and chicken-feed soybeans start showing up at my local farmers markets now that farmers can "have fun" selling their products domestically!!!!!!!!

dems are probably going to eat shit from fox & newsmax & the NYT for this for a news cycle. or until the recession hits. you’re going to hate that i’m asking this, but if you have a dem senator who voted to stop this, you should call & tell them “good job. we like when you fight. keep it up.”

Everyone who is tempted to downplay the authoritarian threat should remember how many made the same mistake last time.

As America moves from flirting with fascism to putting a ring on it, it is more important than ever that health care providers hold the line to protect patient rights. Our duty is to the patient, not the government.

“America First” has always been a cover to keep white supremacism in official policy
