Voter fraud is fake. Election fraud is very, very, very real.

DeSantis signed a bill restricting the ability for ethics boards to launch their own investigations and he did it late on a Friday night to minimize media coverage. A green-light for public corruption in a state plagued by public corruption scandals.

WTF. The electric company in Texas doesn't have a map of outages so people have been using the Whataburger App to figure out who lost power. This is like when Homer was using the Krusty Burger map when they got lost at sea.

The Chevron deference was a safeguard against Project 2025 and a complete corporate lobbyist takeover of our government. It was overturned because right-wing billionaires bribed the right-wing Supreme Court Justices. 👉🏻 Make Judicial Reform the priority.

There’s a reason Donald Trump doesn’t talk about how his policies will help the working class —because they won’t. All of his policies are put up for auction for corporations and billionaires to bid on. He’s the official spokesperson for corporate greed.

The Supreme Court just ruled that our Democracy can be a dictatorship if we decide to elect a wannabe dictator. This ruling is why right-wing billionaires rigged the Supreme Court, because fascism protects billionaires at the expense of morality, democracy and everyone else.

If a single billionaire can legally dump $100 million into an election, when the legal maximum an individual can donate is $3300 — that’s not democracy or a free and fair election, that’s an oligarchy and an auction. The corruption is killing our country.

Project 2025 will end Democracy.

Republicans aren’t shy about it.
It’s not a fairy tale or a hypothetical.
It’s their plan, spelled out in detail on their website. Read it.

The 1% evade $163 billion in taxes per year. That’s enough to end homelessness, and hunger, and pay for universal childcare, with billions left over. This is the crime wave we should be talking about.

If you steal $1000, you can be sent to prison. When health insurance companies steal $50,000,000,000, they get tax breaks, subsidies and government contracts, while the people they steal from die or go into debt. But keep blaming immigrants and poor people for rising crime.

Perhaps the SCOTUS needs to get out of their comfy offices spend a day sitting and doing their job in a West Virginia coal mine, on the roof of a skyscraper in LA, sip tap water in Flint, Michigan, and by a manure lagoon from a factory farm near Fayettville, NC. Just a thought.

We can’t restore Roe unless we unrig the Supreme Court. If a member of Congress or candidate doesn’t support Judicial Reform, then they don’t support reproductive rights — it’s that simple. Get your reps and candidates to support it on the record.

What's amazing to me about this graphic is that Trump's tax cuts for the rich cost more than the Infrastructure bill, Inflation Reduction Act, American Rescue Plan, CHIPs, PACT, student debt forgiveness, and funding the IRS COMBINED.

Citizens United turned elections into auctions.

There’s nothing democratic about a Republican-funded dark money group that funds seditionists pouring $17 million into a Democratic primary.

Celebrating this is celebrating corruption.

In Louisiana, black women were put in cells with male prisoners and some became pregnant. All children born in the penitentiary to blacks were property of the state. At 10 years, they would be auctioned off. The proceeds were used to fund schools for white children.

In the two years after Dobbs, there has been an exodus of OB-GYNs from abortion-banned states, and dwindling interest among future OB-GYNs to settle in those states. The result is worsening health outcomes for the vulnerable patients and moms who remain.

When listening to people talking about their pain, you’ve got to actually listen and do so respectfully, even when you disagree with what they’re asking for. Probably especially when you disagree. Even more so when you’re one of the people responsible for the speakers’ safety. (gift link)
