Turning the military on citizens.

Attempting to rig elections.

Toying with the idea of declaring martial law.

Attacking political opponents and calling for their executions.

If this were happening in another country, what would you call it?

Here’s a candidate worthy of the vote & attention of women (& men) in Arkansas.
She’s also a role model for woman who asked “should I run for office.”
YES!
We are already a “safety net” for parents, husbands, kids, schools & our bosses.
Listen to @hallieshoffner.bsky.social!
We need a country that stops using women as the safety net for its failures.

That’s what I’m fighting for. Because when women have support, families stand stronger. Communities get stronger. Arkansas gets stronger.

"This war can be brought to an end, but the basic logic remains what it always was: the Ukrainians have to be supported so that Russia no longer aspires to destroy their country. That is the foundation. Negotiations will work when that has been achieved."
We hear that Putin and Trump (or their emissaries) have been secretly consulting about a settlement to the war. Given the inherent traps of allowing an aggressor to decide the outcome of his war, I try here to give a sense of how negotiations might actually work.

To recap: My law firm represented Black and Latino voters in striking down Texas' new congressional map.

The dissenting opinion mentions George Soros 17 times and me and my law firm 3 times (all about how connected to Soros I allegedly am). I have never seen anything like it.
In a remarkable and deeply unconventional dissent, U.S. Circuit Judge Jerry E. Smith unleashed a blistering and bizarre attack on his fellow judges after a federal court struck down Texas’ unconstitutional racial gerrymander. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

media coverage of this is already as pathetic as you might expect, usually failing to mention:

the FCC has no authority over the UK's BBC

the scandal was created by right wing media

the year-old BBC edits fall outside limits of UK defamation law

PBC, NPR never aired the documentary
Trump's censor in chief at the FCC, Brendan Carr, just sent a letter to the heads of BBC, NPR and PBS informing them he's launching a "news distortion" probe into the BBC's editing of a documentary on Trump's Jan. 6 activities.
