Why has Dominion Voting Systems been settling defamation lawsuits with Trump allies who falsely claimed the company stole the 2020 election?

Because Dominion has just been bought by a company run by a former GOP election official.

Be warned.

“.. the first time a Republican governor has questioned the interstate deployment of National Guard troops over a governor’s objections.”

Ya think?!

Why not try?

Representative Raskin, I suggest that you perhaps think in terms of Netanyahu funding the war through Qatar and revise how you word things. How did you vote to fund Israel? Because it has US hands all over this horrific,horrific genocide.

Why haven’t we heard more about South Carolina judge Diane Goldstein’s house being blown up after ruling against Trump. Arson is suspected. Her husband and family are hospitalized. Do your f’ing job!

Why did Goggle and Apple cave? Ordinary citizens have more backbone than they do.

Good for you! I hope you can stick to your guns!

They just lie. What is the adage: "A lie can travel halfway around the world while the truth is still putting on its shoes". This is the Trump administration.

Body-camera video appears to contradict the government’s claim that Marimar Martinez, 30, drove toward officers before one of them opened fire at her late Saturday morning in Brighton Park, her attorney claimed.

Go California! We must counter the Republican effort to gerrymander and hold the house in ‘26.

Just horrible! It could be any of us but an 84-year-old hits close to home as I’m 74 and I’ve been in several protests. I wish her a speedy recovery and hope that she is OK.

Rachel, please do an in depth report on this. It seems that the building is owned by Trinity Flood as part of a development project and it was rent controlled. Follow the money and the corruption. Convergence with Wells Fargo calling the loan and someone calling ICE - it was a perfect storm!

Cali Oma @calioma.bsky.social · 5d

SAD

Cali Oma @calioma.bsky.social · 5d

Or money… this was a rent controlled property, and Trinity Flood wanted to develop! Who benefited from the raid?

The right kind of immigrants..?!

Cant believe I’m quoting her…

Cali Oma @calioma.bsky.social · 7d

Sure…

To me Asha, this is like people bringing their families to watch a lynching. We are literally watching/promoting Dancing with the Stars while around us ICE is terrorizing our communities. The juxtaposition of these two things seems so horrendous.

Cali Oma @calioma.bsky.social · 7d

Because our media is beholden.
