There is a fine distinction between sharing mis- and disinformation and fighting it. Make sure you do not share just to be sharing and by doing so exacerbating the problem. Anyone whose first interaction with me is a request for money will be blocked.

Georgia is removing the D and R designation so that you cannot just pick a party sight unseen, but you have to know the name. You are not allowed to use your phone, but you can bring a piece of paper, so you have to be prepared.

New Yorkers: Do you have a form of immigration relief called withholding of removal? Have you received an ICE letter summoning you to 26 Federal Plaza? Here’s what  you can do:

1. Call our Immigration Legal Support Hotline at 1-800-354-0365, or call 311 and say "Immigration Legal" for free, confidential help in your native language.

2. Fill out our intake form to get help from the Rapid Response Legal Collaborative: nyc.gov/RRLC

3. Make a plan. Make sure you have an emergency contact and that someone you trust has your A-number. Talk to a lawyer before making any decisions.

🚨BREAKING: Democrats sued the Trump administration Wednesday for using taxpayer money on campaign-style television ads promoting President Donald Trump. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Trump sued for using taxpayer money on campaign-style ads ahead of midterms
While Trump himself is not on the ballot this year, Democrats argued the taxpayer-funded ad campaign is part of an effort to bolster Republicans as they struggle to keep control of Congress.

When I was in middle school, I learned
there were only two genders.
When I did my bachelors in Biology,
I learned that there are also people who
are intersex and the importance
of the SRY gene.
When I completed my
Masters in Neurosciences,
I learned that sex is already hard
to define, and gender is
both social and in the brain
- making everything
a lot more complex.
When people say
"it's basic biology"
they are telling you
they haven't
moved past middle school.

Trump at 6:30 PM - "I have an
absolute right to use the military inside our own borders to crush political dissidents and rogue domestic enemies."
Barack Obama = at 6:35 PM - "The
United States military takes an oath to defend the Constitution, not to serve as personal enforcers for an insecure politician having a temper”

not wasted money on college and gotten a
real job, but if I have a blue collar job and
am struggling with low wages I should've
gone to college and gotten a real job.

Hear me out. All police misconduct cases paid out of police pension funds. Because as a citizen I'm really sick of public funds being used to pay these AND having to worry about a cop doing something shitty to me because they have no accountability.

KAITLAN COLLINS HAS A RESPONSE TO TRUMP'S "NASTY" INSULT
CNN anchor Kaitlan Collins went on air with a mug that reads, "America Needs Nasty Women." It's a pointed nod to Trump calling her a "nasty person" after she questioned him at a 2023 town hall and his more recent attacks on her. She keeps asking questions. He keeps making it personal.

Not sure if the point of Angela Paxton’s video was to cause people to search Angela Paxton’s name only to find out that she helped facilitate Ken Paxton’s corruption for many years before ultimately filing to divorce him on “biblical grounds”, but that’s what happened.

If you need some examples of people actually trying to drain the swamp. One example: “. Dohrmann is representing a group of FBI employees who argue they were unlawfully fired for using a de-escalation technique to prevent a riot in DC in 2020, after the murder of George Floyd.”
