“Vote blue no matter who” goes both ways, friends. Progs call out centrists for saying it. Now centrists are calling progs out for saying it. Stop letting billionaires divide us.

Todd Blanche was Trump’s personal lawyer through multiple criminal cases. Putting him in charge of the Justice Department would hand the president’s defense team control of the entire system. Tell your Senators to oppose his nomination.

I'm here to tell you that you don't need to read another Substack, watch another clickbait video, or doomscroll every night before bed to stay informed. What you need to do is FOCUS. There is so much power in our collective will to fight. Here's this week's video from us. Watch it. bit.ly/3QzMZk8

You're Not Powerless in the Face of Authoritarism-- You're Scattered
Ready to create meaningful change instead of just reacting to the news? Apply for a complimentary consulting call with The Ripple Effect Institute: https://bit.ly/3QZau6e Have you ever spent an entire day following the news, reading Substacks, signing petitions, and worrying about democracy—only to feel like you accomplished nothing to fight back against authoritarianism? The problem isn't that you’re powerless against fascism. It's that your power is scattered. In this video, I explains why so many people who care deeply about social justice, democracy, immigrant rights, LGBTQ rights, climate, and reproductive freedom end up feeling overwhelmed and ineffective—and how choosing a focus can transform frustration into real impact. If you’re ready to stop doomscrolling and to start building something that matters, this video is for you. ______________________________________________________________________________________ BOOK A RIPPLE EFFECT FIT CALL: https://bit.ly/3QZau6e SUBSCRIBE (and don't forget to hit the thumbs up and comment!): https://www.youtube.com/@RippleEffectInstitute READ MY ESSAYS ON POLITICS AND ACTIVISM ON SUBSTACK: https://newsletterwithecm.substack.com/ FOLLOW OUR SISTER CHANNEL ON POLITICS, LAW, AND BREAKING NEWS: https://www.youtube.com/@resistanceliveecm BUY MY BOOK: https://amzn.to/3jM8SMF JOIN OUR MAILING LIST to get updates: https://gaialeadershipproject.com/ LET'S CONNECT ON SOCIAL: BLUESKY: https://bsky.app/profile/ecmclaughlin.bsky.social INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/ecmclaughlin/ MEDIA and SPONSORSHIP INQUIRIES: https://gaialeadershipproject.com/contact *Disclaimer: Some links are affiliate.

Ken Paxton freed a man who raped a boy for 3 years, reducing his sentence from 6 years to 1 day. He also doesn't have to register as a sex offender. The reason: the perp is Paxton's college roommate and a loyal and active MAGA Republican.

Inside Ken Paxton’s plea deal for a child sex abuse case
Critics are pointing to two other serious felony cases that the attorney general’s prosecutors took to trial that ended in mistrials and, eventually, plea deals.

The biggest story in the world right now is that the president of the United States is a demented old man who takes pleasure in torturing and killing people and is committing crimes with impunity. And yet most legacy media outlets are too cowardly to tell it like it is.

Last year, Trump signed executive orders to fast-track AI data center construction and weaken state-level AI regulations. Now a new AI industry group says it will spend $100M+ on the midterms to push Trump's AI agenda. Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction. Be warned.

It should be bigger news that masked agents were filmed hours ago removing potentially inculpatory evidence from the ICE shooter's house, clearly lacking evidence tags or chain of custody stickers. Before we have word on whether he underwent a toxicology screen at the hospital following the killing

He didn't shoot her in the head at point blank range because he felt like he was in danger. He shot her in the head at point blank range because he was furious that she wasn't afraid of him. He shot her in the head at point blank range because he felt emasculated.

Pope Leo is said to have accepted Cardinal Dolan's resignation and to have picked his successor as New York archbishop. Will Dolan serve in retirement as spiritual advisor to Turning Point USA? In any event, his adherence to the GOP is far stronger than his adherence to the Catholic Church.

Well, yes, that’s what authoritarians pretty much always do - declare an Outsider to focus the forces of the State upon. It’s up to everyone who considers themselves “normal” to recognize that *they’re* also eventually on that list, and we’ll save a lot of lives if we fight now rather than later.
