Just a reminder that Wikipedia is the only reliable source of information that isn't controlled by greedy billionaires, and they need your support. Even the minimum payment helps. If everyone who used it donated the minimum $2.75 they'd be around forever.

Brilliant. Should be a model everywhere
I've seen this go by a few times on TikTok now and I have to say, I love this idea. We need a way to convince people to keep running even if they don't win, maybe building the loss into it as a troll move is the secret.

Conservative education activists such as Moms for Liberty co-founder Tiffany Justice have access to the top levers of the government.

“If America’s public schools cease to exist tomorrow, America would be a better place,” Justice told ProPublica.

People of Illinois, we need your help.

Get your cell phones out – record what you see. Put it on social media. Peacefully ask for badge numbers and identification. Speak up for your neighbors.

We need to let the world know this is happening – and that we won’t stand for it.

The disappearance of America’s leadership class at a time like this means that the rest of us have to be leaders. We can no longer wait to be led by those with the power and authority to lead. You must lead, I must lead, all of us must lead. We are the leaders we’ve been waiting for.

DC/DMV folks: When Jimmy Kimmel fails to air at 11:35 tonight because Sinclair Broadcasting wants to punish him, light up the station’s switchboard and tell them you will be contacting and boycotting their advertisers.
The ABC affiliate in Washington DC is WJLA, a Sinclair station.
Their phone number is 703-236-9552

Here are some companies I've seen run ads on their news broadcast:

Guys, have you seen the ads ICE has been airing in "sanctuary cities"? They're aimed at disgruntled cops—cops upset they've been "ordered to stand down"—trying to get them to quit and instead join ICE for a $50,000 signing bonus.

A program in Flint, MI, gave $1,500 to any/all pregnant people and $500/month for the first year of their infant’s life.

Among the benefits, those babies experienced lower rates of prematurity and low birth weight, which resulted in fewer NICU admissions, saving the city of Flint $6.2 million/year.

Most people have no idea that there are already 32 federal law enforcement agencies with a presence in DC and more than a half dozen local law enforcement agencies. Violent crime keeps going down while Trump escalates his lies.
Breaking: Federal law enforcement officers will patrol the streets of Washington, D.C., for the next seven days, the White House announced on Thursday.

Of all the impeachable crimes over the last 6 months, and there are many, this may be the most reprehensible. The (alleged) crime is unspeakable, but the cover up is morally bankrupt.
The highest levels of the Trump administration are collaborating with the FBI and DOJ to cover-up evidence the President committed sexual crimes against children.

Unspeakably corrupt, and not a single Republican in Congress can be expected to speak out against it.
