This is how it was— it's a return.
Despite all they sacrificed, Fannie Lou Hammer's Freedom Party, the first integrated Dem delegation, was denied seats at the DNC.
When they were offered two seats, which they refused on principle, the entire all white Mississippi delegation walked out anyway.
Rocky Myers, a Black man from Decatur, Alabama, is still locked up for a crime he didn’t commit. His lawyer, former corporate counsel for the United Klans of America, told me if he had to do it all over again, he’d seat an all-white jury this time. Please take a moment with this story.
they tried this with Italy too and they said no thanks we’ll keep the doctors www.reuters.com/business/hea...
....except the wrong blood is being spilled...
The war on Iran is unfolding alongside a wave of mass layoffs in the US. These are not separate crises. They are two sides of the same offensive by the ruling class against the working class.
There are a lot of posts out there with the close-up visual of Markwayne Mullin on January 6, but this is a better perspective.
He’s not protecting others; he’s protecting himself and hiding. You can see plenty of people at the entry door, ready to take on the insurrectionists, but not Markwayne.
For those who have forgotten the past 40 years:
Tax cuts for the rich
...don’t trickle down
Boosting military spending
...doesn’t bring peace
Slashing regulations
...doesn’t create jobs
Folks, we’ve seen this all before.
The killing of Iranian children during an illegal war is an impeachable offense (not to mention a grave crime) and Congress should really act like it.
15 Republicans in the Senate could end this nightmare before it somehow gets even worse.
"Stripping anonymity from the internet would constitute one of the most sweeping rollbacks of civil rights in recent history. It would allow for unprecedented levels of mass surveillance and censorship, endangering the most marginalized members of society."

AOC: “That’s one reason he must be removed from office - if the Epstein files have such a hold on Trump & this admin that they are willing to plunge us & risk world war in order to save themselves politically - that is the definition of someone who cant make objective decisions for the American ppl”
Shame him!!!!

🤬🤮
Free and fair elections are the cornerstone of our democracy. But right now, they’re under attack.
Several Republican-controlled states have redrawn their congressional maps to give themselves an unfair advantage in the midterm elections.
A couple things…
The “conflict“ in Iran *IS* a war.
It is a war of choice.
It is warfare without conscious.
It was unprovoked.
And I’m sick and tired of people suggesting & implying the only tragedies herein are that US Service Members have died. The people of Iran are innocents in this conflict!
Well would you look at that

Good news!
The Virginia Supreme Court ruled Wednesday, for the second time, that voters can decide whether the state can redraw its congressional map — clearing the way for a referendum that, if successful, could help counter GOP gerrymanders nationwide. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
McGovern: How the hell is this America first? You guys broke your top campaign promise. Good luck with that. I hope the defense contractor money was worth it. Shame on you all. The mask is off. You're all just a bunch of pathetic Neocon Warmongers.
BREAKING: DOJ confirms that 47,635 Epstein files have been removed, per The Independent.
Bannon's strategy was to "flood the zone with shit"
Trump heard, "fill the headlines with dead Americans"
ICE wasn't killing enough
The measles wasn't killing enough
Mass murderers weren't killing enough
So now he's launched a full scale war
That should do it
Huge slap in the face to democracy. Democratic Colorado governor, @colorado.gov, just publicly signaled clemency to Tina peters, convicted of election interference. If election crimes have no consequences, why would the next denier stop?
Full breakdown: youtube.com/watch?v=lTSCC_9-FpY
Just a random reminder that over 50 members of Congress collectively own millions of dollars in defense contractor stocks.
They stand to personally profit from wars that enrich these contractors.
Make no mistake, this is legalized corruption.
Watch how they vote this week.
WELCH: Mr. Yoho is also the husband of your former spokesperson, Tricia McLaughlin?
NOEM: Yes
WELCH: So your former assistant and her husband are the ones that got the DHS no bid contract for $143m. Any dispute about that?
NOEM: No.
Trump and everyone in his administration who has broken the law should be arrested, tried, and imprisoned for their crimes.
Patriots! Rise up! Vote YES! #vote #virginia #VoteYES
America’s foreign policy is now “How many people have to die before you stop talking about the Epstein Files?”
