First post? It’s obvs gonna be my dog. This is Freya. She’s a Cattle Dog, Poodle, Shih-tzu mix (aka: a mutt) who was rescued from the Gordon County Animal Shelter in Georgia in 2015. She’s mad at the government and has gas from her new food, but she’s the kindest, sweetest pup you’ll ever meet. ❤️

This is the playbook, folks.
If you're not paying attention now and doing something about it, then you're going to have to sit down the rest of your life because democracy is being taken away.
Do not be quiet in this moment.

This is so dangerous. They want us to be scared and silent.
You’re about to see a push on the right to designate a bunch of nonviolent people on the left as ANTIFA because they don’t like their rhetoric.
Dangerous times.

After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like.

YES! The Union rises!
🚨GREAT NEWS! California, Oregon, Washington and Hawaii have created their own health alliance, saying the CDC has become “a political tool that increasingly peddles ideology instead of science.”
New York, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Delaware, Pennsylvania and Rhode Island have now done the same.

The concentration of wealth in the hands of a few isn't just bad for our economy. It's corrosive to our democracy.
When the wealthy and well-connected control our political system, regular people don't have a voice.
The result? The demagoguery and corruption we're seeing now.

I need you to understand that if you heard a song you liked in the 80s, you couldn’t Shazam it. You couldn’t Google the lyrics. You had to sing it to the guy at Tower Records.

This is misinformation to rile you up about Costco. Costco never sold it and ADF is claiming victory over nothing.
Very bad news from Costco. One of the groups orchestrating this pressure campaign is Alliance Defending Freedom, a Christian Nationalist law firm that is hellbent on reshaping US society.
The ADF coalition "now turns its focus to CVS and Walgreens."

A coalition of faith-based activists had pressured the retailer to not offer the abortion pill mifepristone in its pharmacy locations. The group now turns its focus to CVS and Walgreens.

Vladeck: There’s one video showing a DEA officer telling a D.C. resident he couldn’t drink alcohol on his porch—D.C. law says exactly the opposite. It also highlights how these officers aren’t even trained in the laws they’re purportedly enforcing.
