I am sounding the alarm that the GOP is engaged in an all out attack voting rights and free and fair elections. Voter suppression, gerrymandering, and troops in blue cities are just some of the ways they are using to try to rig the rules to keep power in 2026 and beyond.

Pay attention and act!

The Trump administration is planning to change the US refugee system to favor white people. At the same time, they’re in the Supreme Court fighting to gut the Voting Rights Act.

It’s no wonder young Republicans are sending racist messages. Racism is the official policy of the Republican Party.

Nancy should have turned around calmly and told her,

"The D.C. National Guard is under the control of the President not the Speaker. That's a basic fact you are apparently unfamiliar with."

There’s 1,000 times more chatter about the Maine senate race in a year than about Maine’s ballot measure in 3 weeks that’d bring voter ID and crack down on mail voting… maybe let’s start there??? boltsmag.org/maine-questi...

A Ballot Measure Targets Mail Voting in Maine - Bolts

Question 1, on the November ballot, would set up a barrage of new restrictions on absentee ballots that would considerably affect older voters and people with disabilities.

ARE TRUMP'S "KINETIC STRIKES" on Venezuelan Sardine Fishermen a test to see if he can get away with "Kinetic Strikes" on Americans here?

Trump labeled the boats DTOs. He labeled "Antifa" DTOs. Coincidence?

I find it absolutely bizarre to say that Mills, the sitting governor of Maine, running for a Maine Senate seat currently held by a Republican, is "primary[ing]" Graham Platner, a guy whose highest elected office is, what, Bar Harbor City Council?

ElieNYC @elienyc.bsky.social · 2d

Not that anybody comes to me for Maine politics, but the fact that the Democrats successfully convinced a 77yo Governor to primary the 41yo progressive, is today's example of why the Democrats fucking stay failing.

Susan Collins is 72 and if Schumer gets his way, she'll be the YOUNGER choice!

I took it to LinkedIn and tagged… 💪❤️

My LinkedIn post that starts with a quote from the Politico article and ends with my comments: Quote They referred to Black people as monkeys and ‘the watermelon people’ and mused about putting their political opponents in gas chambers. They talked about raping their enemies and driving them to suicide and lauded Republicans who they believed support slavery. End quote

WHAT?!? THOUSANDS of private messages like this?

Wow… just wow… I’m not surprised these people lost their jobs or their job offers… who would want to WORK WITH THESE PEOPLE?!? 😡

Nearly all the staff in the Office of Special Education have been fired as part of Trump’s sweeping layoffs.

These are the people responsible for protecting the civil rights of students with disabilities and ensuring they receive an equal education.

More needless cruelty on display.

Pointing out hypocrisy is a waste of time and reflects a fundamental misunderstanding of what’s happening and what’s at stake. Fascism is not concerned with logical consistency or argument.
