When the U.S. House passed the SAVE Act last year, historians told us it was Congress’ worst attack on voting rights ever. Well, this week the House approved an even worse one. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Sadly, ICE learned what not to do in Minnesota… they have not left… but are spreading out in disguise tricking and nabbing people before we can respond. We need a new plan….

ABC: Do you still have confidence in Pam Bondi as AG?
MASSIE: I don't think Pam Bondi has confidence in Pam Bondi. She wasn't confident enough to engage in anything but name calling in a hearing. So no, I don't. She was responsible for the document production.

Nobody can forcefully remove you from a bathroom. If they do call 999 (when safe to do so) and say you have just been assaulted. Sexualy assaulted if they so much as graze a boob or other private area. Nobody has the right to abuse you, and that includes security staff.

This is why electrification means more energy security:
In 2024, ~81% of EU electricity came from locally sourced fuels (57% excluding nuclear). Just 19% relied on imported fossil fuels.
Fossil fuels are mostly imported.

I wonder if it'd work if people (in general, rather than just us low-power individuals) treated those in the Epstein files* like:
"If you're in the files, make what you've seen public. Because we're going to treat anyone who doesn't like they were in on it all."
...and then see what comes out.

I hope people understand how it has been all leading up to this moment in history in so many ways. Think about how many huge sex abuse scandals have broken and the responses.

“Worst of the worst” is a lie used to justify mass harm.
You don’t terrorize this many people to stop a few.
This is an attack on Americans, deliberate, cowardly, and unforgivable.
