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

AOC: You're damn right that it's a Democratic priority to keep people from getting poisoned, from dangerous chemicals

You're damn right that it's a Democratic priority to bring down the cost of housing

If they want to say that that's a Democratic priority, they're right,

California, please vote yes on Prop 50. And we need other states to follow. Every seat counts. DT must be stopped.

AOC: And they are able to radicalize a generation of young boys in particular, away from healthy masculinity and into an insecure masculinity that requires the domination of others who are poorer, browner, darker, or a different gender than them.

Border Patrol posted a hype video in August, featuring the “banned” version of Michael Jackson’s 1995 song “They Don’t Care About Us,” including its antisemitic slurs

It was removed today after accounts on X praised the video linking it to the Protocols of the Elders of Zion & paintings by Hitler

ICE is raiding in Gresham near home depot today and yesterday Hillsboro.

ICE frequently use the federal garage at Terry Schrunk Park.

In and out all day. Many of the vehicles filmed going in to ICE are spotted dowtown. They are at an extreme tactical disadvantage when exiting.

A devastating flood tore through Kipnuk; five months earlier, federal funding meant to help the village withstand disasters was abruptly cut. Lee Zeldin revoked the grant, citing a new push to eliminate what he called “wasteful DEI grants.”

A very incomplete list of DHS's lies:

Blue and white graphic with red text reading “DHS lied about” in blue, followed by a list of names and phrases in red: Mahmoud Khalil, Rümeysa Öztürk, Kilmar Abrego García, Andry Hernández Romero, Neri Alvarado Borges, Rep. LaMonica McIver, Los Angeles, Jaime Alanís, Sen. Alex Padilla, Portland, Brad Lander, George Retes, Francisco Longoria, Chicago, Silverio Villegas González, Miramar Martinez, taking the “worst of the worst,” and everything.

Tariffs are putting Minnesota farms at risk, with soybeans piling up as our trading partners look elsewhere.

They don’t want a bailout from the guy who caused the crisis. They want strong markets.

kavanaugh seems to be channeling bradley. “When a man has emerged from slavery, and by the aid of beneficent legislation has shaken off the inseparable concomitants of that state, there must be some stage in the progress of his elevation when he…ceases to be the special favorite of the laws.”

Justice Kavanaugh in the Callais oral argument keeps alluding to some longstanding requirement of strict scrutiny that use of race have a time limit. This is invented.
