I’ve voted every election* since 1972 (because at one point you had to be 21 to vote) in spite of moving all over the place. * Might have missed a local special election or two I didn’t find out about, since no VBM either back then.

The @houstonchronicle.com posted this video and it's pretty jarring. No matter that he was fleeing, law enforcement officers may not use deadly force on someone who poses no significant risk of death or serious injury to others. Deliberately hitting someone with a car is a use of deadly force.

For over 20 years, civilians in Afghanistan risked their lives to help us. The bipartisan Special Immigrant Visa program was a promise & a recognition of their service.   By dismantling this program, Trump is breaking that promise & sending many of these allies back into harm's way.

Democrats accuse Trump of stranding over 155,000 Afghans who aided the U.S.
A spokesperson defended the Trump administration's visa ban for Afghans, saying it’s “long past time to move past” the conflict and “look ahead to the future.”

Republicans will institute a Nationwide Abortion Ban, as Project 2025 instructs—either just before or just after Election 2028. They won’t call it an abortion ban; they’ll use the Comstock Act to outlaw shipment of med equipment and prosecute “criminal”doctors. I did try my best to warn people. 😔

Point of information: The Republican Party has already spent far more on protecting a single U.S. Senate seat in Texas than the TOTAL cost of the 2000 Presidential election for BOTH Al Gore and George W. Bush COMBINED. www.brennancenter.org/our-work/ana...
 The Republican National Committee and the Democratic National Committee together spent $79.9 million on television ads in the 2000 presidential campaign, far more than the $67.1 million spent by the campaigns of Gov. Bush and Vice President Gore, the study says.
