Saturday’s No Kings Day aims to spur massive voter turnout for the midterms
‘‘The point of No Kings on October 17th is not to send a message,’ says Indivisible’s Ezra Levin. ‘The point is to prevent an authoritarian from consolidating power.’

If it continues, Trump's pivot to support Putin w/out limits will go down in history as one of America's worst foreign policy decisions ever. I would think people like Rubio might not want to go down in history as a supporter of this decision and might try to reverse it. But no sign of that yet.

ICE is refusing to return personal items to people who've been released, including driver's licenses and passports, proof of immigration status, employment authorization documents, cell phones, wedding rings, cash, and more. This is illegal. The ACLU of DC and ACLU of Illinois are suing.

No amount of support for Russia can end the war, because Russia is the criminal aggressor. A modicum of support for Ukraine could, however, end the war, by making it impossible for Russia to continue. This should not be a hard choice.

The vote marked the second time the North Carolina State Board of Elections (NCSBE) denied students at the nation’s largest historically Black university, with over 15,000 students, a midterms voting site. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
democracydocket.com
North Carolina early voting begins, with students targeted by suppression schemes
Ultimately, voters described the roadblocks as a feature, not a bug, of the state’s electoral system — one that’s littered with so much confusion that some may decide to stay home and not vote at all.

This is about Ilhan Omar. But it's also about control, intimidation, & authoritarianism. The message is: we can do this to a member of Congress; no foreign-born American is safe. The administration is using fear as a tactic to discourage people from voicing opposition.

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.

Inflation is up again. Not because of a pandemic. Not because of a natural disaster. Because of Trump’s war, tariffs, and corporate tax breaks. It really is this simple: Republicans took over, and then drove up the cost of living in America.

I confirm that tonight SpaceX introduced a speed restriction on Starlink terminals while in motion.
At present, the restriction applies to the Star Shield
"military package" and is set at 100 miles per hour.
Our Defense Forces received no prior warning about this limitation, which resulted in the disruption of a number of missions.
Obviously, this cannot be a coincidence and is connected to the current political situation.
(Quoting Zelensky's miltech advisor)

Can’t Allow Elon Musk the Power to Intervene in Wars No individual should be able to disrupt military ops like Musk did with Ukraine’s. I wrote that when he did it in 2023. Was told the problem was contract rules. Nope. Happened again. The problem is too much power, esp for an enemy of democracy.
