Thank you, Robert Reich, for the voice of sanity, and this time, of clarity. In case, we have forgotten just how the Democrats became so ultra disappointing to the blue-collar workers of America... www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Americans are backing progressives not because they want socialism, but because they want candidates who will fight for the working class

Alex Pretti was already restrained when federal agents shot and killed him in Minneapolis, a New York Times analysis of video shows. The footage contradicts the Department of Homeland Security’s account of the shooting.

Timeline: How the Shooting of Alex Jeffrey Pretti Unfolded
A moment-by-moment analysis of video from the scene shows that Mr. Pretti was already restrained when fatal shots were fired, which appears to contradict the federal government’s account of the event.

@indivisiblesantafe.org ICE is a paid assassin/militia, that goes against all tenets of our Constitution. I stand with Minnesota in memory of the murder of Renee Good, an innocent bystander. Here is today's wall of shame : These democrats voted to give ICE more funding.

“Hatred and Radicalism have no place in the USA.” So sayeth the President, who just halted DOJ investigations into police depts responsible for outrageous brutality and who has exterminated DEI initiatives intended to protect against white hatred and radicalism.

Activists in London posted ads at bus stops throughout the city telling people to delete their X accounts because Musk continues to allow radical racists on the platform - to post whatever they want without repercussion - while at the same time rapidly deleting anti-Musk accounts.

Voter ID legislation enacted in NH. Requires married women whose birth certificate names aren’t the same as the names on their passport or drivers’ license to “prove” that they were lawfully married and lawfully changed their names before they can vote. www.nhpr.org/nh-news/2025...
nhpr.org
NH’s new ID requirements send some would-be voters home to grab passports, birth certificates
The law requires all new voters to show proof of their U.S. citizenship. For some, that meant making multiple trips to and from the polls before finally casting a ballot on Tuesday.
