The video clearly violates the Hatch Act which prohibits government employees from engaging in political activities.

I took my pup and we talked to dozens of folks. It was very rewarding because so many voters don't know about Prop 50 and how important this election is.

I spent my afternoon making & passing out Yes on 50 flyers in front of Walmart & other stores in English & Spanish, and you can do it, too.

If you wanna save democracy, you'd better put your all into it!
I know that's high pressure, but this is high stakes!

The Spanish flyer is in the next post.

So far, the only media outlet that has signed Pete Hegseth's new prohibitive press policy for covering the Pentagon is One America News.

Even Newsmax and the Washington Times have rejected the letter.

Even Newsmax rejects the Pentagon’s new press restrictions ahead of signing deadline

‘Newsmax has no plans to sign the letter,’ the network stated on Monday. ‘We believe the requirements are unnecessary and onerous and hope that the Pentagon with review the matter further’

I'm sorry what www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/...

Many of the protesters described excessive use of force by federal agents. The Rev. Michael Woolf, senior minister at Lake Street Church of Evanston, said he was demonstrating outside Broadview when U.S. Customs and Border Protection official Gregory Bovino, who is leading his agency’s enforcement operation in Chicago, showed up. Illinois State Police began to push people back from the curb. He said that at one point a federal agent grabbed his neck and twisted his nipple “as hard as they could.”

“This is while I’m in a clergy collar,” Woolf added.

McLaughlin responded that “officers do not twist people’s nipples or use undue force” and are “well trained in crowd control tactics.”

Remember when Christopher Columbus cut off a woman’s tongue and had her paraded naked through the streets for the crime of saying that he was of low birth? He also had a guy’s ears and nose cut off for stealing corn. Great guy

#Octopuses are capable of experiencing pain, stress, and fear, yet octopus consumption remains prevalent globally. Opting for plant-based foods is the most effective way to support octopuses and all aquatic animals.

Live performance of "For What It's Worth" by Buffalo Springfield in 1967. The song was written in 1966 in response to the Sunset Strip curfew riots in Los Angeles. It became an anthem for generational conflict, civil unrest, and later anti-war movements.

"The lyrics are still so relevant."

The NYT, Atlantic, WaPo, CNN, Guardian and others have all refused to sign Pete Hegseth new rules on reporting from the Pentagon. As far as I can tell only OAN has signed it. I guess this is Hegseth waving goodbye to their access to the Pentagon and other DOD facilities.

ICE detained Isabela, a Delaware victim of domestic violence, despite her living with temporary protected legal status. In 2019, Isabela helped police find, prosecute, and deport her ex-husband, who stabbed her. If ICE had deported her back to her native country, her abuser would be waiting.

Spread this around. Missouri and Ohio Democrats need at least 100,000 valid signatures to take on Republican gerrymandering maps. This is the fight 🔥

Guardrails of Democracy @demguardrails.bsky.social · 2d

MO & OH Dems need us to help Rally support!

A commissioned poll shows nearly 1/2 of MO voters oppose the maps

The Dem committee needs over 100,000 valid signatures across multiple congressional districts before the state’s 90-day window expires on Dec. 11 to let voters decide on the maps.

Missouri Democrats have an opportunity to block a new congressional map. They say they’re largely on their own.

Despite relatively little investment from Washington, Missouri and Ohio Democrats are looking to block new Republican-drawn maps through uncertain avenues.
