While Big Tech abandons its responsibility to keep our kids safe online, Illinois has stepped in to force them to. Any time we send our children off, we take precautions to keep them safe — from strangers, environmental dangers, and anything else that might put them in harm’s way.

George Orwell step aside. The Republican Party is about to show you how it's done

In Soccer I believe that would be called an "Own Goal."

I remember when MAGA morons were pushing Russian propaganda from their Putin-paid influencers and calling us “warmongers” for supporting aid to Ukraine so they could defend themselves.

The SAVE Act was never about election integrity or keeping elections fair. It is about building a paywall around the ballot and hoping we’re too exhausted or too broke to participate. The SAVE Act is meant to keep us home so they can steal an election. jesspiper.substack.com/p/voter-pass...

And the fucking cops didn't even bring charges. Gee, I wonder why people don't trust the police?

NEW: House Democrats blasted both the MEGA and SAVE Acts — suppressive measures seeking to impose strict voter ID requirements to register to vote and cast a ballot — calling the proposals “the Trump election takeover bills.” House Republicans are rushing to deliver the measures this week.

House Republicans further voter ID bills that would disenfranchise millions

VA Senate president responds to Ted crying about VA’s redistricting, which should add 4 new Dem seats.

THIS IS THE TYPE OF PERSON THE ASSCLOWN IS OBVIOUSLY IN TOUCH WITH. THE 💩 NOW WANTS THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT TO RUN OUR ELECTIONS LIKE OTHER AUTOCRATIC GOVERNMENTS. WHAT COULD POSSIBLY GO WRONG??? WE LOSE OUR PERSONAL FREEDOMS! THE TIME TO RESIST IS HERE.😎

Heads are going to explode 💥 Cato Institute just nuked the lie. Immigrants have cut U.S. deficits by $14.5 TRILLION since 1994, slashing the national debt by a third. All that “immigrants are bleeding us dry” noise? Absolute bullshit. 1/3

Debate is healthy. Folks tearing each other apart on here is not. If you're in agreement on 75% of the issues, congratulations, you're allies. We should be focusing on fighting the Nazis, not each other.

And will continue to get worse and worse.
