Came over here looking for relief from hate speech.

"I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Counciler or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate, who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice ..."

Almost all of us are the descendants of immigrants who fled persecution, or were brought to America under duress, or simply sought better lives for themselves and their descendants. The GOP is desperate for you to forget this. Do not.

And years ago early in my Army training, I was taught to “lie, deny, & make counter accusations” when undergoing interrogation. Thankfully, I’ve never been interrogated but it has helped me to recognize similar behavior, particularly in Republican politicians who seem to use the technique routinely, like ALL THE TIME. It’s really something to recognize.
@IveyJanette @thepoliticalcat It's a quite clear choice:
You vote for Biden now, or you resign yourself to never again having a vote that's worth the paper it's printed on. If you have a vote in the future at all. The GOP wants to fundamentally make it so that only male Republicans can vote.

"Lack of shame is Republicans’ superpower. They ignore fact checks just as they ignore facts, so nothing gets effectively debunked. Clearly, fact-checking isn’t enough. We need fact-crusading. Journalists must directly confront liars and make them look bad, preferably in real time on national television. They must exact a cost for dishonesty. So far, they rarely do."

Media play dumb and amplify Jan. 6 lies

When journalists sidestep the truth, MAGA disinformation wins

Judge Henderson on #Trump's immunity claim: "I think it's paradoxical to say that his constitutional duty to 'take care that the laws be faithfully executed' allows him to violate criminal law."

The 5th district federal appeals court has ruled that ERs are not required to perform life-saving abortions if it would run afoul of Texas state law.

Texas is simultaneously arguing that a fetus has rights greater than the mother, and that a Texas Prison guard who lost her child to still birth death when her supervisor denied her a break cannot be compensated because a fetus has no rights.

This horrific ruling will kill women and children. This isn’t an opinion—it’s a documented fact…
