For any candidates who might be listening (doubtful); I’m a 65 year old cis white guy and I will *never* vote for anyone who denies trans people basic human rights. Never. It’s not a purity test, it’s a humanity test. Fuck your harm reduction theories.

Sen. Susan Collins helped steer millions in federal defense contracts to Navatek, whose CEO illegally funneled thousands of dollars to her campaign. The FBI sought to launch a probe and was eyeing Collins and other lawmakers. Then Trump gutted the unit in charge. THREAD 🧵

The Trump administration is pursuing a multipronged strategy to quash those it perceives as its ideological opponents. Part of it involves using expansive authorities meant to combat foreign terrorist groups against U.S. civil society. bit.ly/4Ak6MWP

Trump Administration Linking Its Domestic Enemies to Foreign Terrorists
Falsely claiming that U.S. citizens and groups have ties to international terrorism could let the government turn tools intended to combat the likes of ISIS against its perceived foes at home.

Another attack on satire, this time by Melania Trump. And note that this is another example of trying to silence speech through control of the news media.

Far too many NJ voters, especially voters of color, face serious challenges when trying to vote. With the federal Voting Rights Act at risk of further erosion, NJ must immediately act to protect and expand voting rights by passing the John R. Lewis Voter Empowerment Act of New Jersey (S282/A1715).

Cops led us into the street as the new “protest zone” and then beat us repeatedly. Got hit in the face with a baton. Leaving to pick up my friends who were arrested. Stay safe out there.
This picture is from about 5 minutes after being hit. A visible bruise is forming on my right cheekbone and by my right eye.

I’ve always been against robbing artists of fair compensation for their work. But if your art supports the corporations that are robbing us all of our freedoms then I have an idea. Also, support *independent* artists, writers & journalists while you still can.
