lol at the idea that the tent needs to be big enough for Trump-supporting fraudsters
Arizona Sen. Ruben Gallego defended his fundraiser with crypto investor and Trump ally Marc Andreessen during a town hall in Pennsylvania, arguing that Democrats have gotten too “pure” and need a bigger tent.

Trump defeated again and has caved to Canada as the Prime Minster confirms the old relationship with the US is over.

24 hours later Trump groveled to Canada via a tweet where he stopped calling it the 51st state or referring to the PM as the governor. #cdnpoli

Would like to see every signatory of that notorious Harper's Letter take a stand about the current crackdowns, arrests, defundings, firings, etc. (A pass for signers who have departed...)

I guess the arrests and deportations don't qualify as being "cancelled."

When I was 17, I opened my first checking account w/a couple hundred bucks. I didn’t meet the min monthly deposit, so they kept charging fees until I owed them money. It stuck with me—I still won’t bank w/BofA.

There’s no upside to this move for anyone who isn’t rich—just cruelty for cruelty’s sake

I’m gonna make it simple since it seems a lot of the liberals on this site right now are having trouble with this. It was illegal to protect Anne Frank and it was legally required to turn her in to the Nazis.
If your reliance on the law dictates your morals you have already lost to the fascists.

It’s the elephant in the room.

It’s what authoritarians resort to when the tide turns against them.

They're called public records for a reason. Starting today, WIRED will *stop paywalling* articles that are primarily based on public records obtained through the Freedom of Information Act, becoming the first publication to partner with @freedom.press to offer this for our new coverage.
Wired is dropping paywalls for FOIA-based reporting. Others should follow
As the administration does its best to hide public records from the public, Wired magazine is stepping up to help stem the secrecy
