This is how we won a lot of anti-LGBT ballot initiatives over the past few decades: keeping them from ever qualifying for the ballot.

Keeping them off the ballot keeps them from being money-makers, win or lose. These things are cash machines for the Christian authoritarians, fundamentalists, and fash, but they don't rake in the real bucks until the fall campaigns.

And if they can't make money at it, they tend to go off and find some other way to do it.

Lon Mabon, who made a career out of torturing queer people with public hate and initiative campaigns, built a whole family business out of it. And it worked great until we started keeping him off ballot.

Now he sells BBQ sauce.

This guy, who ran and hid in the White House bunker when there were protesters outside? No way. He doesn’t get blood on his hands. He directs the mob to do his dirty work for him by making ‘suggestion,’ an inference. And his gang grovels and follows his obvious order,” #uspolitics #democracy #trumptrial

According to some recent polling, President Joe Biden has lost an extraordinary amount of standing with young and nonwhite voters. Is this because of the president's support of Israel?

Trump told donors he will crush pro-Palestinian protests, deport demonstrators

Block anyone who tells you not to vote. They are evil. Full stop, no exaggeration. To deny one's right to choose their own governance is evil.

@palestine

In the first 56 min, Max Blumenthal destroys Jake Sullivan and the State dept, talks about America First becoming Israel First, the GOP bill where the US cannot pause weapons to Israel, the new censorship measures targeting media, Juan Cole, Jewish Voice for Peace. The US will get to the point where anybody criticising Israel will be labelled as "terrorist organization"...Full blown McCarthyism happening right now.
