It’s not like GOP politicians are constantly calling for violence and arming their own families for holiday photos.

Still waiting for Trump to sue someone for defamation about being accused of being a pedophile. Discovery & Depositions would be EPIC bc the greatest defense against an accusation is the Truth.

read online that someone set-up a premium rate phone number where callers get charged $3.99/ min. then they posted flyers in their neighborhood that said "call this number to report illegal aliens," but the number just puts them on hold with music. so far, they've made $17,000

I love this idea!
To process the chaos, I'm spending a few minutes each night stitching a news diary--embroidering tiny icons representing an important story of the day.
One month in, and it feels like I've already sewn a year's worth of news. But it helps me make sense of it all, so I think I can manage 11 more.

Dear @schumer.senate.gov & @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social…THIS is a winning message, not whatever milquetoast letter your overpriced consultants are peddling.
“When I go into Congress I’m going to fight each and every day to impeach Kristi Noem, to tear ICE up from the roots and to fix this country’s broken immigration system,” Mr. Menefee said in a victory speech on Saturday night”

BREAKING: Taylor Rehmet, a Democrat, just won the Texas SD-9 special election,
He just flipped a district that Trump won by 17 points and that hasn’t sent a Democrat to the legislature in 36 years.
Despite Trump’s personal endorsement and sustained push for Leigh Wambsganss, Republicans LOST!!

This is INFURIATING! The woman is asking about a warrant & these feckless thugs refuse to ID themselves, confirm they broke in, & confirm no warrant. Then they threaten the woman.

Hard to overstate how big a deal a Rehmet win would be. Tarrant County is the epicenter of Christian nationalism in Texas, an incubator for far-right policies, and nexus of billionaire Tim Dunn's network, which is riding hard for Wambsganss. Rehmet almost entirely funded by donations of $100 or less
‼️‼️ Still a lot TBD, but Rehmet is leading early vote count by **13 POINTS** in a district that Trump won by 17 points. I'll be updating in this thread throughout the night.
ICYMI: This Saturday, progressive Taylor Rehmet squares off against a billionaire-funded Christian nationalist for a +17 Trump state senate seat in Tarrant County, a hub of the far right. Rehmet already over-performed, and is confident he’s on the verge of a stunning upset in a bellwether county.

I can’t stress this enough. The state of 4th Amendment law is that the cops can’t force you to type in a passcode but they can force you to swipe your finger or present your face. Never stop using passcodes/passwords to unlock your devices. And consider additional code to unlock Signal.
The FBI was able to access Washington Post reporter Hannah Natanson's Signal messages because she used Signal on her work laptop. The laptop accepted Touch ID for authentication, meaning the agents were allowed to require her to unlock it. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

These truly are the Trump-Epstein Files. It's no surprise why Donald was so scared for these and more to get published.

We're living through a peculiar paradox: technology promised to unite us, yet religious fundamentalism and regional patriotism now travel at the speed of light through fiber optic cables, reaching into homes and hearts with unprecedented force.

1. The most extreme anti-trans bill ever proposed is currently rocketing through the Kansas legislature.
It would empower bounty hunters to search for trans people in bathrooms, even in private businesses, and sue them for large sums of money.
The House is voting on it today.
