This is why I keep crowing about #TheStatesProject which is laser focused on these kinds of swing counties where your political contributions (money or activism) have a disproportionate impact. That and collective action through their Giving Circles program.
“Unprecedented in the History of American Republicanism”: Trump Verdict & GOP Extremism
Trump can still be president as a convicted felon & is poised to become the Republican nominee in July.
"One of the most dangerous things about Trump is that he’s not a one-man show. He’s the presumptive nominee of a political party in a two-party system. That in itself poses an immense danger to American democracy.”
“Trump’s entire persona is built around the facade that he is a powerful strongman, impervious to attacks and solely capable of defending his followers.
“Now he stands for election as a convict, a weak man too cowardly to take the stand who was bested by a local district attorney. The totalitarian edifice looks pockmarked.”
How America could vote for this weak, shouty, cry-baby is beyond me.
Biden has announced something that some Israelis say that he should not have announced...
some say he announced it without our approval...
and some say he announced it with Gantz’s approval as opposed to Netanyahu's
Netanyahu is detouring around Biden by speaking to the American public directly. That might have prompted Biden to come out public with a plan.
Future headline: To combat future wokeness, GOP promotes federal book ban ban bans.
"Don't let states tell concerned parents what they can't complain about and which minorities they can't opress" says RNC spokesperson with familial ties to Trump (we at Future News apologize for being unable to narrow down the speaker of this potential quote further).
And by that nonsense, I mean let's applaud Minnesota, Illinois, and Maryland for banning book bans.
“If you are concerned and you want a justice that’s going to stand for the working men and women in this country—it’s not going to be Judge Alito. If you are concerned about women’s privacy rights, about the opportunity for women to gain fair employment in America—it’s not Judge Alito...if you are looking for someone that is going to be a friend of the disabled—it’s not going to be Judge Alito.”
Arizona Republicans passed a bill that bans all use of public funds to combat climate change, on the grounds that this would be "pro-Marxist" and "anti-God."
Today’s the anniversary of one of the darkest moments in US immigration history, the day that the MS St. Louis, a ship full of German Jewish refugees, was turned back to Germany from Miami. Hundreds of the passengers were killed in Hitler’s death camps.
Today, Joe #Biden blocks asylum seekers from the US
Whether it's #trump using racial slurs against entire groups and sexist remarks against multiple women OR #Biden calling Trump unhinged... #bothsides have a name calling problem.
In a shock result, #India Prime Minister #Modi will likely have to seek a coalition government as projections indicate they will likely to fall short of the votes needed for a majority.
This could have significant policy implications in a country which has recently not been our favorite and a regime which has been secretly trying to assassinate dissidents of their regime within the US and other allies’ territory.
Not good. "The Proud Boys are back. Four years after the failed effort to overturn Trump’s 2020 electoral defeat, the violent all-male extremist group that led the storming of Congress on Jan. 6, 2021, is rebuilding and regaining strength as Trump campaigns to return to the White House..."
An amazing theory of change I just received in my mentions:
"If Democrats, Liberals, Progressives, and Moderates all united and voted in EVERY election for Every Democrat against EVERY republicans, states like Texas would be Blue over night"
