If we take a few minutes to look, we can see this with every politician that takes big money. They belong to their donors and will advocate for them.

Профиль VivelyTrump openly pardons convicted criminals and now wants to pay them off with great amounts of taxpayer money. Then you believe him when he wants to persecute massive amounts of innocent people by lying and saying they are criminals?
Aaron RuparTrump makes clear that he still supports the taxpayer-funded J6 slush fund: "I will always feel that these victims of govt abuse should be paid back ... Millions agree with me, as was proven in my landslide Presidential win, where this was a major subject of debate."
This is what you get when you vote for someone who takes money from AIPAC, AI, or corporations. They are obligated to them instead of their constituents. They belong to them! We see this time and time again.
Qasim Rashid, Esq.Mask fully off. Haley Stevens just posted a completely unhinged rant accusing Dr. Abdul El Sayed of "blaming all of America's problems on the Jews." This is disgusting, racist, false, and puts both Muslims and Jews in danger. Stevens should be ashamed of herself. Vote Abdul El Sayed for Senate.

ICE is ramping up arrests at airports. Here’s whyYouTube video by CNNyoutube.com⟳ Репост от skymom
“Pre-crime” means you have not committed any crimes but might. In my college law classes, it was always stressed that law enforcement is primarily a reactionary system in a free society. To be proactive in law enforcement means civil rights do not exist. That is what this is.

What is pre-crime? You need to be aware of what is coming.
Windy GirlPre crime = FLOCK & other public surveillance,too.

The more proactive law enforcement becomes, the less rights you have. And it is always administered in biased ways.
QuaranteganWhen we've hit the stage where "pre-crime" is being treated as a legitimate concern of the government, we have officially arrived in The Shit Has Hit The Fan territory. If you've been thinking of what's going on as a burgeoning threat or slide toward danger, you need to update your threat model.
"WIRED reported that new draft ICE detention contracts include language declaring that state and local laws “shall not apply” to detention facilities – a contract clause attempting to erase state authority with the stroke of a pen. "
Qasim Rashid, Esq.Yesterday in Chicago, nine state lawmakers from six states stood together and said it plainly: states are not backing down from ICE. That moment didn't happen by accident. It's a coordinated, winning strategy across 35 states. Read today's guest post from Gaby Goldstein, founder of State Futures.

Trump announced yesterday he will repurpose huge chunks of federal lands to host AI data centers. This massive giveaway to Big Tech comes despite surging public opposition to data centers— including among Trump's own voters.

Yeah so NYT asked me ~2 yrs ago to write an op-ed about how the Colorado is running dry, & what we should do to keep this exact thing from happening. I said "There's only one real answer. Bill farmers by how much water they use. Duh." NYT editorial staff freaked tf out & cancelled the piece.
Elias Thornesaw an article today about an az politician saying how great it was that we're now in emergency drought conditions because the farmers get automatic bailouts and I feel like way more Professional Rural Understanders just breeze by sentences like that. www.paysonroundup.com/news/arizona...

I don’t know who needs to hear this but never in human history have those who burned books been the good guys.
For those who embrace the term "illegal" more than they embrace their neighbor. Under Trump, 1.8 million have been ‘de-legalized.’ This is what they've also done to our Haitian brothers and sisters. Many were told Monday they no longer have a job, since they are no longer "legal"

My hope is that those who don't care about others will care about their pocketbooks. Even the self-righteous vote their wallets. I can take the higher prices if they will get fed up and vote out this evil regime.
Mike LevinMore and more Americans are buying groceries on credit cards and paying them off over years. A family charges food to a card, eats it in a week, and is still paying interest on that meal a decade later. The numbers are brutal.

The ground game is driven by people power. The Human Rights Campaign is itself investing 15 million dollars into flipping the House by targeting eight close races and making key strategic gains in the Senate (which could also flip!) Video: buff.ly/RUZSwGX
Go get them, Allison! Thank you for the work that you do.
Mueller, She WroteNEW: Trump says he’s not against withdrawing Blanche’s nomination, and Tillis says “looks like they weren’t being honest when they said [the slush fund] was inoperative.” Glad I haven’t dropped my lawsuit! news.bloomberglaw.com/litigation/m...
She advocates for Israel and not for us. What type of human wants to support a genocide?
AIPAC TrackerCurrent Affairs: Haley Stevens Is an Extremist, Not a Centrist "Stevens takes the radical position that U.S. support for Israel should “go unquestioned.” If never questioning support for a genocidal state is “moderate,” then our definition of “moderate” needs to change."
