This is so un-American. What kind of screwed up dystopia do we live in that comms staff felt comfortable creating this media for distribution?

The Brennan Center research shows that voting in person, early voting, and mail voting are accurate and secure. It’s paramount to ensure that every eligible citizen has the freedom to vote. bit.ly/4fLDlDa

Mail Voting Accuracy

Election officials use many checks to ensure mail voting is secure against widespread fraud and tampering.

Bravo to New Mexico on two fronts:

📌 Universal Childcare for every family

📌 Special Session next week to address Medicaid cuts and exploding insurance premiums caused by Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill and to take on the corporate hospital crisis

This should be nationwide!

At least 16 people have died in ICE custody so far this year.

At least 1,250 people detained by ICE are now missing.

Almost half of the people arrested by ICE have no criminal record.

This is fascism, and Trump made sure his oligarchs are profiting from it.

Why Fascists Fear Teachers is officially a NYT Best Seller. Thank you to everyone reading this book. It’s both a warning about the life we can lose and a testament to the teachers trying to help young people and their families have a good life.

"The tap water is cloudy, smells strange and upsets stomachs, the [detained] families told their attorneys. The hand soap the facility provides for showers has been causing rashes ... Children also struggle eating the food, like the snacks of graham crackers, apples, juice and milk."

"[C]loudy water, delayed medical attention and long periods of time children are being detained."

I think it's a sign of how cowed the American media is that we're getting pieces like "you have to understand, in Korean culture, it's considered very rude for someone to lock you in a brutal prison camp for a week for no reason." Like yeah, any free people would be offended by that?
