SRK, an unabashed liberal, ready to defend the cause against a world-wide wave of concerted and directed right-wing extremism. And a cat lover.

I just followed back someone whose bio starts with "I believe in Love and Kindness 💙 for everyone". It made me ask myself if I was living up to my Brian Wilson maxim "Love and Mercy". Do I fight for justice with compassion or just anger? Bear with me and I'll do my best to protest but not rage.

When someone shows you who they are . . .
Kristi Noem: "When it gets to Election Day, we've been proactive to make sure we have the right people voting, electing the right leaders to lead this country."

Not sure who needs to hear this but the voter fraud rate is a mere 0.000003%. Anyone telling you otherwise is making shit up so they can take away your right to vote.

interesting that these people — and fellow travelers like bari weiss — insist on large, expensive security details. they are status markers, i suppose.

Possibly the most anti-democractic move so far by the Trump regime.
SAVE Act explained: Republicans' sweeping elections overhaul would impose strict new voting rules, potentially disenfranchising millions of voters. The bill was approved by the House, but faces long odds of being passed by the Senate. #SaveAct

You can't touch guns because something something Constitution but voting rights? Trample them at will.
Rep. Jason Smith: "Why should you ban ICE from being at polling places? Illegals are not supposed to vote in America. It does not make sense."

We cannot normalize the wanton destruction of norms and rules.
Attorney General Pam Bondi tells a member of a co-equal branch of government during a public hearing: “You don’t tell me anything, you washed-up loser lawyer.” The disdain for our own government is appalling. This administration is destroying our democracy.

More right-wing nonsense shot down: abortions are safe and do not increase breast cancer risk.
A new study has shown that miscarriage or induced abortion is NOT a potential risk factor for breast cancer, contrary to continued anti-choice propaganda. Even several abortions or miscarriages does not increase risk. The study used high-quality Finnish registry data.
Prior abortion or miscarriage not linked to increased risk of pre- or postmenopausal breast cancer
A prior abortion or miscarriage was not linked with an increased risk of developing pre- or postmenopausal breast cancer in a study published in Acta Obstetricia et Gynecologica Scandinavica.

Trump's tariff policy is sheer lunacy, and it's high time that Congress stood up up and said, "That's enough."
I just voted to cancel Trump’s reckless tariffs on Canada. This is a major victory for the American people and for Congress reclaiming our constitutional authority over tariffs. And, it's a defeat for Trump and Speaker Johnson, who for months blocked the House from taking this vote.

BREAKING: The House passed the so-called SAVE America Act which threatens to upend our freedom to vote.
The bill could disenfranchise millions of eligible voters by requiring documents like passports or birth certificates to register to vote and forcing voter roll purges. The Senate must reject it.
