From poll taxes in the past to passport requirements today—the goal is the same: keep certain voters away from the ballot box. We won’t let the SAVE Act turn voting into a luxury. Spread the word and contact Congress.

Mitch McConnell may or may not be conscious or even alive, nobody knows why his wife is spending his hopsitalization abroad meeting with the vice president of China, but that's nothing compared to the cover up of Joe Biden's age.

I would not wear this but I *think* I appreciate that it exists?

I agree with Johnson that religion should not be the guiding principle in governing the country.

Journalist Obada Tahaina reports from Jenin, near the evacuated Ganim settlement that the pace of Israel’s illegal settlement expansion is accelerating as the Israeli occupation forces seize more Palestinian land in Jenin, displacing residents and tightening control over the area amid ongoing Israeli settlers attacks terrorism of Palestinians.

There was no National Guard looking over the parading masked NAZI thugs today, just saying!

Honestly, I’m just not feeling the 4th of July this year. Hard to celebrate America when SCOTUS is out here crowning a convicted felon and rapist king; especially one who openly plans on never leaving the White House.

Anyone else struggling to find the spirit today?

Never forget the names of the oligarchs who bought an election for a felon & rapist as a president.

They've bought a corrupt Supreme Court, a coup-plotting Congress, & kneecapped agencies meant to protect people from abuse & civil rights violations.

Many aren't even American oligarchs, they're Chinese, Saudi, Qatari, and Russian oligarchs

Physicians for Human Rights (PHRI) warned that Dr. Hossam Abu Safiya, director of Kamal Adwan Hospital, is facing an immediate risk to his life, following a visit by his lawyer Nasser Odeh at the underground interrogation section “Rakevet” inside Nitzan Prison.

According to the lawyer’s testimony, Dr. Hossam appeared with his hands and feet shackled, suffering from recent injuries and bruises on his head, face, and neck. He was also experiencing difficulty breathing and speaking, and a severe state of exhaustion that caused him to nearly lose consciousness more than once. It was also confirmed that he is subjected to daily assaults, has lost consciousness several times, and has not received the necessary medical treatment.

Dr. Hossam told his lawyer: “This is the last time you will see me… They brought me here to kill me. I do not see myself alive. This is the end.”

139 people died in last year's Texas floods. One year later: zero officials fired, almost none resigned.

The city manager whose weather alerts were off. The mayor who found out four hours late. All still have their jobs.

Meanwhile Camp Mystic just filed for bankruptcy—while running a GoFundMe to "rebuild."

Read the latest from Let's Address Texas State Director Saadia Mirza. As always, she provides clear ways you can get involved now.

To my American friends: I wish you a happy 250th birthday, and that you can get it back, it doesn’t belong to Trump or the wealthy!
For Trump’s birthday? He can fuck the eff.. off!

The Founders’ Warnings About Excess Wealth Have Come Appallingly True

@georgetakei It's called "government as a service". Pay the President and get services from government (such as an exemption for tariffs, having environmental regulations lifted etc).

Very business-friendly and far more efficient as a single bribe to the president gets things done very fast, compared to having to bribe all congress-critters and regulators and wait months.

Trump was elected to be business friendly, and that is exactly what he is delivering. And Congress is happy with this.

How does a president's net worth nearly triple in a single term? Trump's newest financial disclosure answers that plainly, if you know where to look: bribes, tributes, and self-dealing, woven so tightly together that each scandal fades before the next one lands. That's not an accident. It's the design. And once we see it, we can start dismantling it. https://thinkbigpicture.substack.com/p/trump-corruption-bribes-tributes-profit

Having to work with Adobe Acrobat on a daily basis (my employer is not giving me any choice), I just can’t believe how shitty that piece of software’s become!

MY ASS! :firepoop:

A decent “entry level” PC that won’t be obsolete in 3 years is 1500(CDN)$ these days, and at that price you have to put it together yourself, supply an OS, and be able to fix problems without outside help. That doesn’t even involve peripherals like a monitor, a keyboard or a mouse.

Obsolete in 3 years is a fallacy though, because I’m running machines that are older than that. It’s easy if you don’t have to run applications that are spying on you.
