10 Ways We Can Prepare for Another Trump Presidency

We must resist perpetuating the autocrat’s goals of fear, isolation, exhaustion and disorientation.

Truthout

"Assign electors based on each candidate’s share of the statewide #vote: win 60% of the vote, get 60% of the state’s electors...

These changes would restore meaning to margins of victory and inspire candidates to compete in every state...

It’s even good for third parties. In 2016, under this scheme, #Green Party nominee Jill Stein would’ve won an elector in both deep-blue #California and deep-red #Texas."

A failing grade for the electoral college

A relic of another time, the electoral college distorts the results of our presidential elections and thwarts the will of the people.

Clarence Thomas hearing Trump's immunity case, when his wife Ginni was directly involved in efforts to overturn the 2020 election, tells you everything you need to know about the Supreme Court's new code of "ethics."

It's a sham.

Released documents sound alarm on emergency pregnancy care in U.S.

Complaints about pregnant women being turned away from emergency rooms spiked in the months after states began enacting strict abortion laws following the 2022 U.S. Supreme Court decision overturning Roe v. Wade. The cases are detailed in federal documents obtained by The Associated Press and raise serious questions about the state of emergency pregnancy care in the U.S. Federal law requires emergency rooms to stabilize patients who are in active labor and provide a medical transfer to another hospital if they don’t have the staff or resources to treat them. The Supreme Court is set to hear arguments next week in an Idaho case that could weaken those federal protections.

Reminder that Clarence Thomas’s wife organized and financed these very crimes. So does he recuse himself? Nah.
