I watched Florida taken apart by corrupt rightwing governors who destroyed so much. Oregon might not be perfect, but it has a functional government that has preserved many human rights other states have lost. Please don't take that for granted-- reelect Kotek as governor. Hold fast.

In Pennsylvania it is illegal for police or soldiers to be within 100 feet of a polling place unless they are in the process of voting or for specific limited exceptions, such as when the polling place is within 100 feet of the police station entrance. Just so you’re aware. 25 P.S. 3047

It would be nice if elected Democrats start speaking up about the regime seeking to nullify the will of hundreds of thousands of voters in the city where masked armed agents did street executions in front of cameras

Her "immigration status" is that she's been a US citizen longer than either Melania Trump or Elon Musk. The Democrats SHOULD use this opportunity for 100% solidarity with one of their own, and throw the fucking kitchen sink at Trump and his Republicans. I doubt they will but would LOVE to be wrong.

a high ranking official (probably miller, blanche, or vance) is openly admitting this is a fishing expedition in national news. they just can't help themselves

The investigation is seeking information to see where it leads, the
source said. For example, if records, representations related to age
and immigration status contain false information, that would
provide material for investigators to scrutinize further. They could
also examine communications related to such matters.

We've gotta learn to believe these authoritarians are who they say they are the first time they tell us. Federal agents searched Rep. Ilhan Omar's home this morning. Her office says, "The Congresswoman has done nothing wrong." Here are some things I'm not seeing enough of in our online chatter. 🧵

Late here but: If Democrats actually want to "stop abortion bans," they have a moral and strategic duty to ensure that the government has no place in deciding who can get an abortion. No more viability limits. Abortion as early as possible and as late as necessary, because anything less is immoral

Hey California! Be careful this election because the big money creeps are trying to trick you (again).

There's a trap on your ballot in California. Here's how to get past it.
1. Prop 40: 250 billionaires pay with they owe so hospitals, schools, and food assistant survive the federal cuts. Vote yes.
2. Props 41 and 42: paid for by billionaires to cancel prop 40. Vote no.
3. Tell one person, because the confusion is the plan.
Yes I'm 40. No on 41 and 42.

Multiple things are true here. This is a fascist, authoritarian administration. It has not yet fully consolidated power. Some of its efforts to do so have been frustrated. Trump is a doddering, confused egomaniac who started an unpopular war that's costing everyday people a lot of money.

Some of the escalations we're seeing, including the attack on Ilhan Omar's home (I will not pretend this act was "investigatory"), are desperate acts. But we must remember that desperate people can be very dangerous. A domestic abuse victim, for example, is in the most danger when trying to leave.

I was once told by a cop, at a training triggered by a sharp increase in drugging and SA at large events in the 2010s, that their job was to disprove allegations, that 99% of victims were liars, and they were there to lock up people who made false allegations. Which was basically everyone.

The Republicans are going to become increasingly desperate and out of touch as November quickly approaches and their polling numbers only get worse. While the polls are good for feeling hopeful, it is still important that you actually vote them out.

Look, this is bad. Yes. But the Trump admin sent six (6) people to Maricopa and Pima. Where, by my count, there are 404 polling places, spread across 18,000 square miles (each county is ~9k sq mi). What they want is the FEAR to discourage the voting they can't actually prevent.
