BREAKING: Jesse Jackson dies at 84.

They came for the history and the ballot box.

A federal judge forced the government to restore slavery exhibits at the house where George Washington kept nine enslaved people because someone in this administration decided that story shouldn't be told anymore. The judge quoted Orwell and compared the government to a "Ministry of Truth."

Civil rights organizations including the NAACP filed suit in Georgia to protect Fulton County voter data that the FBI seized at White House direction. Given this administration's actions in Philadelphia and elsewhere, that seems prudent.

Congress is out but your representatives and senators still have offices and phones. Call or write them and tell them you see the racism running rampant through this executive branch. Demand they protect vulnerable communities.

11 - Blue states will not have a shitty named airport. Further, in his honor his name will be above, or in, urinals and toilets.

If he’s going to try to monetize an airport renaming, he’d make more money with trademarking the DJT Concentration Camps brand. JFC

so the story is now that Dulles was aspirational, but that PBIA, the one closest to Mar-a-lago, may actually be renamed.

"Keep the Bastards honest" uswd to be an Australian political slogan....
Honesty is only a redundancy when accountability and oversight is high.

My praise is all for the citizens doing what they can while their sole political option vacillates.
Good work George!

Jake Elzey, Lance Gooden, Nathaniel Moran, John Cornyn, "Fled" Cruz. All the politicians "close" to me, I call them every morning and tell them what kind of job they're doing. Remember, you can pick five and call them too! There is chicanery afoot so double check with your county clerk and vote! https://www.votetexas.gov/voting/early-voting.html

No notes.

1 month ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

That's at the discretion of the election official at your polling place: ". . . A new law also bans the use of wireless communication devices, like cellphones, in the same room where voting is taking place. Voters are allowed to use written notes to cast their ballot at the discretion of election officers, who determine if the material counts as campaigning. . . ."(Texas Tribune)

Rubio favoring the cancerous leech that is fat, stupid, corrupt Orban who's constantly and probably literally brown nosing in Putins worthless ass while syphoning money from the EU he is clearly wanting to ruin is just... not even surprising.

The Trump regime hates the EU, for the same reason Russian and China do: it makes it so much harder to pressure and intimidate individual countries. So they love traitors like Orban.

America is at war with Europe, same way Russia is. Some people are just too cowardly or delusional to admit it.

100% this...same why they always support the far right parties in european elections, they want the EU gone...

5 - everybody says that newsom guy is a corporate shill, but damn his advisors really lead him to making all the right moves...will be difficult for dems to find a candidate thats will be more appealing to the average aka badly informed voter...

Especially on the surface, Newsom is a really tough candidate to beat.

There are some pretty bad things too, but I'm always reminded that desiring the presidency should be disqualifying.

So, the airport naming thing. Doesn't that trademark pretty much guarantee that no airport ever gets named for him?

1 month ago | Likes 6 Dislikes 0

if the airport decision making comittee cares about the airport being profitable you are right...but in trumps plans obviously there are MAGA goons on that board that will happily funnel public funds into trumps bank account...

Thank you, OP.

I hate to tell you, but it is racism, misogyny, and corruption all the way down. But I do miss the days when the powerful folks were at least pretending to care.

1 month ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

I'm aware of the problems, quite sadly. When I was born, none of them had this much money or power. That's what I want back.

I want much, much more than that, but I want that back as part of it all.
