I cannot emphasize how serious an assault on democracy this is. Any effort by the Trump administration to engage in false claims of fraud or mass voter suppression relies on this as a building block. As importantly, there is no legitimate reason DOJ would want this information.
🚨BREAKING: The Department of Justice (DOJ) sued Georgia, Illinois, Wisconsin and Washington, D.C. Thursday for unfettered access to the states’ voter registration records. The federal government has now filed lawsuits against 21 states, plus D.C.

This is a developing story...

OPPOSED to DATA CENTERS?
The Working Families Party has put out a recruitment call for candidates opposed to data centers.

As public awareness and movement against data centers and AI grows, more and more communities are voting them down.

Congresswoman Ilhan Omar's son was pulled over by ICE and forced to prove he is an American.

Two options:

1) ICE deliberately targeted him.

2) ICE is stopping all non-White people without any probable cause and forcing them to prove they are citizens.

Hard to say which option is scarier.

13 years ago 20 children & 6 educators were shot and killed at Sandy Hook. Yesterday 2 were shot & killed at Brown, 11 at Bondi Beach.

Having cleaned up such death, it tears me up every time. I pledged to help raise awareness around #gunviolence.
That we must keep doing so is tragic.

When the streets start telling the truth, it’s because the institutions won’t.

What’s become painfully obvious is that ICE agents aren’t trained to make us safer. They’re just recruits who thirst for power, violence, and cruelty.

If you’re looking for something to do, start working on overturning citizens united in your state. States control the power corporations have. Take their political power away with a ballot initiative. Here’s how: open.substack.com/pub/robertre...
How to Get Rid of "Citizens United"
We can do away with it without a new Supreme Court. Nor do we need a constitutional amendment. There’s a far simpler way.

Following the important issue of PFAS in Maine?

Trump's DOD pushes back timeline to deal with PFAS cleanup at 13 Maine sites.

Maine was first in the nation with a comprehensive approach to product bans, farmer assistance, and reporting, setting a benchmark for tackling PFAS.

The Department of Defense has pushed back the timeline to mitigate #PFAS at more than 100 military installations. #Maine is home to 13 active Superfund sites, several of which have languished on the list for decades. Read more for free 👇

According to a new study, members of Congressional leadership perform 47% better in stock market trades than their rank-and-file peers, thanks to access to nonpublic information.

Today would be a great day to ban ALL elected officials from trading stock, don't you think?
