Essentially America has wasted decade on Trumpism and what do we have to show for it? Not one single tangible thing for the middle class an the poor. A President number one job is to take care of the people not himself.

Since the only Republican talking point for the midterm elections seems to be calling Dems communists maybe reporters can ask them a) what is communism and b) what dem policies are communist and why?

We spend a lot of time asking: “Did you vote?” Maybe we should also be asking: Do you know who represents you? Do you know what they voted on? Do you know how to contact them? Do you know when the next election is? Do you know what's on your ballot? That's political participation too.

Markwayne Mullin says ICE agents could be deployed “if there is a threat to that polling place or we’re serving a warrant.” Let me guess, they’re going to call in threats themselves and go intimidate people. They’re making mail-in voting unreliable and in-person voting dangerous.

We’re talking here about Col. Josh Gaspard, who parachuted into Bashur during the 2003 invasion as a 2LT, then a year in Afg, then company command in surge-era Iraq. His Columbia degrees aren’t even in the “woke” social sciences, they’re in industrial engineering and engineering management systems.

ICE went to a nightclub in Memphis around 1 AM and reportedly loaded more than 100 people onto buses and vans.
We are at the point where federal immigration agents can descend on a space in the middle of the night, detain masses of people, and leave families scrambling to figure out where their loved ones were taken.
This is what authoritarianism looks like.

Flock cameras have no place in Texas. They can piece together an exact map of your behavior — the places you went and how long you were there. Flock calls this “pattern-of-life” mapping. Texans call it something else: government overreach.

Lemme get this straight. Heterosexual males buy tickets to an WNBA game. They drive to it just to sit in the stands and throw dildos they also took time to buy & spend $ on? But not watch the games? They spending money to cosplay as a teenage bully & go to jail?!?!? Dont ever call women emotional.

The WNBA tells Front Office Sports that Enes Kanter Freedom and Royce White won’t be allowed to play in the league. League sources dismissed the players’ efforts to join as “publicity stunts” and said they won’t let “outside pressure or manufactured controversy” shape how the league operates.

Enes Kanter Freedom's Bigoted Stunts Have Nothing to Do With Protecting Women
The trans women in sports panic is nothing but a stalking horse for permitting violence against trans people--and we should celebrate players like Natasha Cloud who say so.

Just 10 billionaires have already poured nearly $670 MILLION into this year's midterms. In the entire 2008 presidential cycle, the last election before Citizens United, total billionaire spending was $16 million. If you're wondering what the real threat to "election integrity" is, it's Big Money.
