Please #vote early, if possible & check your polling place at the last minute with a Dem website. Or local Democratic group. #TexasPollSwitch

When people blame President Biden for the Afghanistan 🇦🇫 evacuation disaster, please add that Trump had closed all but one of 6 or 7 airports, creating chaos.

‘Mass disenfranchisement’: The Slow, Methodical Attacks on Voting Ahead of Midterms In Dallas County on election night, mass confusion caused by a sudden rule change sent hundreds of voters to the wrong polling places. This is what modern voter suppression can look like: not always dramatic, but just confusing and discouraging enough to stop people from casting their ballot. Mother Jones’ Ari Berman weighs in “when you change laws and when you make voting more difficult right before an election, without giving people time to prepare, it can lead to the kind of mass disenfranchisement we saw in Dallas on Tuesday.”

Mass confusion unfolded at polling centers in Dallas County on primary night. That confusion was manufactured. It renewed fears of voter suppression ahead of the midterms. ProPublica's @dougbockclark.bsky.social warns "last minute changes to election laws can disenfranchise a lot of people." #Velshi

Public pressure brought down Kristi Noem – and it’s cracking Trump’s veneer of invincibility Kristi Noem’s abrupt firing from DHS reflects mounting public pressure across the country. Millions of Americans are protesting, voting in record numbers, and demanding answers, while lawmakers from both parties begin to push back. In other words, democracy is reasserting itself and growing pushback is forcing accountability at the highest levels of government– signaling a potential turning point in American politics.

Kristi Noem is out.

That’s no coincidence. It’s democracy pushing back, and it marks an inflection point. We've seen the evidence: Record protests, record voter turnout this week, and bipartisan pressure.

Democracy is reasserting itself– and cracking open Trump’s veneer of impunity. #velshi

Tim Snyder: ‘A democracy means the people rule’ Protests do more than fill the streets - they help to shape how institutions behave. The recent demonstrations against Trump’s policies inform judges, pressure lawmakers, and send signals throughout the political system. According to historian Tim Snyder, the scale of these protests, and the moral clarity behind them, can influence how institutions act. “A democracy means the people rule”, says Snyder.

Noem’s firing is proof that protests don’t just fill the streets, they can shape how institutions behave. And judges, lawmakers, and even Trump’s allies seem to be getting the message. Historian @timothysnyder.bsky.social adds, “a democracy means the people rule.” #Velshi

I am frankly more concerned about the apathy of the American public and even more importantly the lack of leadership in the Democratic Party.

This is not a dress rehearsal. Every single American must speak out against this Facist administration.

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.

Obama: "We are living in a time where it can be hard to hope. Each day we wake up to some new assault on our democratic institutions. Another setback to the idea of the rule of law ... but this man - Rev. Jesse Jackson - inspires us to take a harder path ... bc if we don't step up, nobody else will"

#VoteEarly in Red states. The MAGAS are exploring new ways to control the vote by separating voting venues by party & don't tell you until you've waited 2 hrs in line.

"[Trump's] calling it a war... [Republicans are] afraid that it makes them look even tinier than they already are.”

Rep. @ericswalwell.bsky.social says Republicans are afraid of looking “even tinier than they already are” as they try to claim the US is not at war when Trump is saying it out loud.

This is how we rebuild the middle-class.

USL emails players about union resignation procedures as strike looms The email, sent to all USL Championship players, includes an ‘FAQ’ section on crossing a potential picket line

The USL’s union-busting tactics won’t intimidate the players.

It’s time for the league to stop the games, negotiate a fair contract, and pay these workers a living wage. Solidarity with USL players!

Breaking news; New evidence shows that it was a USA bomb that blew up the school with upto 200 little girls. Motive not known yet. In Iran some people are saying the Epstein Class hates little girls they are either sexually abuses or killed.

Excellent. Nothing will change except Christie posing at concentration camps in a cowboy outfit.
