This is petty and least important aspect of this but: I reported on this years ago and the trump campaign falsely denied the reporting, and now via Hegseth they’re just doing it. Monstrous

The Fort Hood Shooting was horrific. At least 4 dead. At least 14 injured. But I bet you've never heard the name of Army Specialist Ivan Lopez, who was responsible for the 2014 Fort Hood shooting. Because you understand he reps only himself, but somehow Nidal Malik Hasan speaks for 'all Muslims.'

Trump has claimed that states are “merely an ‘agent’ for the federal government” and they must do what the president tells them. “Almost nothing in that statement is correct as a matter of law,” Marc Elias says. Keep an eye on the people trying to rewrite the rules: demdock.com/4rSKLdE

Don’t forget: billionaires are using their grip on social media and the news to convince us that peaceful protests don’t work, our vote doesn’t matter, and that both parties are the same. They’re spending billions on it.

Very much agree with this. The Trump admin has purposefully attacked mail in voting from multiple directions and continues to make threats of law enforcement at voting sites… their goal is to create confusion, distrust, and fear… to suppress votes.

The Trump administration’s actions resulted in the destruction of the largest ancient Cottonwood tree on Indigenous territory in Arizona. This tree, known as the “Grandmother Tree,” was 250 years old.

Arguably the biggest democracy referendum next month: Virginia is one of only three states where the state constitution says people should lose their right to vote FOR THEIR ENTIRE LIFE if they are convicted of any felony. This measure would allow anyone to vote after prison.

As we get thrust into an unnecessary period of fascistic violence, war over resources, and the stripping of basic human services and dignity, the appeal of AI for the powerful isn’t just planning or war making, it’s creating a system that will do what they want and allow them to shirk all blame.
