Let's hope this year will bring the fall of tyranny in the U.S. I have long felt that complacency is scourge of our time. If nothing else comes of the this regime's abhorrent rise & dismantling of democracy let it at least lead to the peoples' realization that complacency is no longer an option.

Wait, did the SAVE Act already pass and they forgot to tell voters? No!
I’m going to need an update on this. I hope she was able to cast her ballot in the primary.
Texans, if this is happening to you, post your story with the polling location. Put it on blast. And report it.

Right-wing influencers like Johnson were primarily taking aim at homeless and transitional housing — and exaggerating their “findings.” It’s a strategy state election officials have long been aware of. www.democracydocket.com/analysis/rig...
Right-wing influencers are going viral claiming voter fraud. The problem? They’re wrong
“A lot of this is about homeless people, or people who are in sort of dire situations financially, living in buildings that are condemned… and moving, and therefore the building no longer exists. But ...

If this country was truly “pro-life,” we would have Medicare for All, a Green New Deal, gun reform, universal child care, and a living wage.

It’s not too late for states and Congress to stop Trump from subverting the midterms
With only nine months before the midterm elections, Trump is plotting to prevent Democrats from taking control of Congress.

My law firm is now litigating 85 voting and election cases in 40 states. This is the largest number of cases in the most states we have ever handled at one time. And, while Big Law firms mostly sit idly by, the need to protect elections in court is only growing.

“Maybe a better way to look at this is ‘people preparedness’. One way for people to be prepared (for the next pandemic) is to be healthier, eat better and exercise, so you’re less likely to get sick or have a poor outcome,” Powers added.

Medicare for All would save $450B a year.
Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity.
Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall.
It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford.
It’s about priorities.
