The conviction of Jimmy Lai under the National Security Law confirms the worst fears that Hong Kongers expressed when they took to the streets in 2020 - that Beijing will use this law to silence and crush dissent. 1/4
Hong Kong newspaper founder Jimmy Lai, an ardent critic of the Chinese Communist Party, was convicted Monday on three charges of sedition and collusion with foreign forces in a landmark national security case.
Hong Kong court convicts pro-democracy newspaper founder Jimmy Lai
The landmark case exemplifies the way Beijing, through Hong Kong’s national security law, has swept away any last remaining press freedoms and judicial independence in the city.

This hit me like a gut punch, because I lost a good friend to glioblastoma. I wish Jason Collins a speedy & full recovery, knowing that Stage 4 Glioblastoma has always been terminal.

Hoping for a cure.

We cannot let this be normal. A sitting United States President has called for ‘death’ to sitting Members of Congress.

Those who he targets — veterans, intelligence community, federal workers — must stand up and fight.

Dear Walmart,

Consideeing you have more employees on SNAP than any other company — instead of simply having a ‘cheaper’ Thanksgiving bundle, how about giving your underpaid employees who must rely on SNAP for survival, one for free? It’s the least you can do. And I stress, the LEAST…

I always find it interesting how the story changes when a lawyer gets to court. They can say anything they want outside of court without accountability but the rules are vastly different in court where you can get seriously penalized for lying.

This is really something! A federal appeals court, which recently ruled 2-1 (both Trump judges) to stop a lower court block on Trump deploying the National Guard to Portland, has stayed its own order after finding a "material factual error" in the regime's argument.

This morning, I was hit in the face by a baton.

I’m going to have a pretty gnarly bruise but we need to remember why this is happening: Trump and ICE are rounding up our neighbors, treating them as subhuman, and shipping them off to labor camps in foreign countries. It has to end.

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.
