Does anyone know why God the Holy Spirit is telling Speaker Mike Johnson to protect people who raped children? I can't figure it out.

Trump doesn’t like data. He wants investors, consumers, and everyone else to be in the dark, so he can lie without fear of factual contradiction. He can create even more of a fantasy world. He can pretend that he’s been wildly successful even when he’s been a terrible failure.

With Larry Ellison in control of TikTok, we now have right-wingers or looney far-right wingers in control of most of the major social media platforms.

Right-Wing Moguls Dominate Social Media. One Legal Fix Can Help Stem the Tide.

Revising Section 230 of the 1996 Communications Decency Act would make outlets more accountable for the content they platform.

Trump’s rationale for sending the military into American cities keeps shifting. But the purpose remains constant: intimidation. The Supreme Court and Congress must push back. bit.ly/3IWUMED

There Is No Insurrection

Troops are for national defense, not displays of presidential power.

🧵
ICE abducted a 15-year-old autistic boy during a bathroom break and kept him hidden for nearly a week.
His mother thought he was missing. Even local police couldn’t find him because ICE never told anyone they had him.

He was selling fruit with his mom when he asked to use the restroom.

I remember when we weren’t even sure we wanted to allow Canadians, and the British into our air space to HELP us. (We did.) This?! OMG NO!

More than 5,000 federal employees have received layoff notices. We’re working to ensure that the administration isn’t using state voter rolls to target registered Democrats for termination. More details soon.

Heads-up. Share this everywhere. ICE has created a fake "Stop Ice" app. They're trying to ensnare people to enter their information, so they can go after them.
Do NOT use stopice./org.

Sen. Sanders: No, Speaker Johnson, the #NoKings rally on Oct. 18 is not a hate America rally. It’s a Love America Rally. It’s a rally of millions of people who believe in our Constitution, in the American Freedom, and who’s not gonna let you or Trump turn this country into an authoritarian society.

We need a national media blitz to show all Americans who don't stay politically engaged, who don't watch the "news", what's going on. Reach them wherever they are! Young and old! Everyone, everhwhere!
