Hawaii just passed the first state law in the country banning corporations from making political donations in state elections. Now a Koch-backed legal group is suing to overturn it. Big Money won't get out of our politics without a fight — one that we the people must win. (via @levernews.com)
Authoritarians go after elections because YOUR vote is their biggest threat. Elections are our most powerful weapon—and as long as we have them, we must use them. Fight back at the ballot box! They’re trying to keep us from voting. We must vote in numbers too great for there to be any doubt!
No amount of gaslighting will convince sane and rational Americans that we didn’t see what we saw on January 6, 2021. Let’s cut through some of the bullshit and lies…
FIVE YEARS & he has not been held accountable for one of the most disgraceful events in this nation's history. Trying to overturn a fair election in an attempted coup against his own government is the very definition of TREASON. We can never move forward until this is fully adjudicated. #ShameOnUS🇺🇸
We have a cabinet level Secretary of State, a diplomatic corps, Special Envoys, and Defense team to do this work. “Son-in-law” is not a government job. Kushner does not represent us.
it's time for journos to start asking Johnson meta questions "Speaker, on 5 occasions last week you said 'I haven't seen it' when asked about news events w/big implications for public policy. Do you ever read the news, and do you agree it's problematic for the Speaker to be so woefully uninformed?"
Rep. Rosa DeLauro: "On the food stamp issue, the money is there! Let them not get away with saying they can't do it. Their political will isn't there to feed the people who rely on the SNAP program which is the most effective anti-hunger program in the USA."
It’s amazing how all the reporting is just memory-holing this part
The richest man on earth owns X. The second richest man on earth is about to be a major owner of TikTok. The third richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post. See the problem here?
I mean, Biden & Obama never had to censor their critics’ TV shows. Just saying.
They cry “free speech” when it’s hate, violence, and lies. But the second we tell the truth or call them out, suddenly we’ve gone too far. That, my friends, is what you call selective outrage.
Here’s a story that’s becoming all too common: federal immigration agents using racial and ethnic profiling as a rationale for stopping, questioning and detaining U.S. citizens who they suspect are undocumented.

It’s murder. They need to be charged and brought before the ICC.
Adam Cohen (My Personal Views Only)@axidentaliberal.bsky.social · last yr.Trump could’ve intercepted the boat, seized the drugs and imprisoned everyone Instead he approved this Venezuela strike and killed all persons aboard The extrajudicial killing of 11 men and potentially provoking a war with President Maduro is an odd way to campaign for a Nobel Peace Prize
Pritzker: "Any rational person who has spent even the most minimal amount of time studying human history has to ask themselves one important question: once they get the citizens of this nation comfortable with the current atrocities committed under the color of law, what comes next?"
Pritzker: "When did we become a country where it's ok for the US president to insist on national television that a state should call him to beg for anything? Especially something we don't want. Have we truly lost all sense of sanity in this nation that we treat this as normal?"
The largest SNAP cuts in history went into effect yesterday, eliminating or drastically cutting food assistance for millions of Americans. And it’s all to pay for more tax cuts that primarily benefit the super-rich. Trickle-down economics isn't just a hoax — it's cruel.

What can be said that hasnt been said thousands of times before. We have a gun problem in this country. And we have a POTUS who wants military on the streets for show, he doesn’t really want to decrease crime. #gunreformnow
Frey: And don't just say, this is about thoughts and prayers right now. These kids were literally praying. It was the first week of school. They were in a church.
KILMAR IN BALTIMORE: “Never lose hope. Promise me you’ll continue fight for freedom — not just for me, for everybody.” He was just taken into ICE custody.
