🗣️ ATTN. Student organizers, young leaders: To help you counter the unique voter suppression tactics your generation is facing, we just *updated* the Gen Z Election Defense Toolkit. Take action. 🔗 protdem.org/genztoolkit
An image from the Gen Z Election Defense Toolkit, featuring three individuals engaged in looking at a booklet. The text reads, 'Responding to youth voter disenfranchisement. Not all election threats are created equal — here’s how to spot the difference.' A small flag graphic is in the corner.

I realize foreign leaders think they got to do what they got to do to appease Trump and avoid angering the psychopath. But it should be pretty clear by now that when you kiss his ass you only make things worse for your country and don’t help the opposition to Trump in the US.

Donald Trump is using the presidency to shape financial regulations for an industry that made him $1.4 BILLION. Listen to Scott Greytak of @transparencyusa.bsky.social lay out this obvious conflict of interest. Oversight Dems are ready to fight this corruption on day one in the majority.

So we are warring with Iran And Russia is supplying weaponry to Iran. And we are paying Russia to send us diesel fuel. Because we are warring with Iran the ships with the diesel can't get to us. So we are buying it from Russia, which... Yeah, this is some three-dimensional chess right here.

I grew up loving my country so much. I was raised in the Concord (MA) area; patriotism was everywhere. America meant courage, honor, and decency, and even our myriad sprawling moral failures didn’t preclude us from heading *toward* our ideals. I don’t recognize this country now.

Trump could nominate the worst person with a law degree in America and this Republican senate will confirm that person. That includes Susan Collins, who always confirms Trump’s justices. The only chance you have to keep that person off the court is to elect Democratic senators.

this is why i’m not interested in “Bibi told Trump to do this war so it’s Bibi’s fault.” Bibi had told every president since Clinton to bomb Iran. It’s the President’s job to know when a foreign leader is being a bloodthirsty idiot and NOT LISTEN TO THAT GUY. This war is because of Trump.

The fact that this was *previously used as a campaign ad during the presidential campaign* removes any real defense as to its purpose. Its not a public service announcement. Its a campaign ad that has become state propaganda.

l've been a SA advocate for decades:
NEVER go to campus resources for a SA. Call a rape care hotline/program (off campus), get a SA advocate (they're free), go to a SART hospital for care (and evidence collection if you choose).
They activate the police. Schools have NO business in this process and will minimize and bury it. It's a criminal matter, not an administrative matter.
Period. No exceptions.

From 16,000 to 185 to Zero. The Trump admin claimed as many as 16,000 noncitizens had been registered to vote in Nevada. Then DHS came back and said the number was actually 185. This week, Nevada told the admin every single person on the list was a lawful citizen.
