#BREAKING: Sen Tammy Duckworth: “If you have a different name on your birth certificate than is on your drivers license, you CANNOT vote, and so for the 69 MILLION American WOMEN who took their husband’s names, you cannot vote. That birth certificate is not valid. By the way, military IDs will not be valid for you to be able to vote, neither will your REAL ID…So you have to go in with a passport that matches your current ID, and you know how hard it is to get a passport? Number one, it’s expensive and number two, theres such a backlog in the State Department, some people are waiting 3-6 months to get a passport. And so, think about the 69 million American women who married and took their husband’s name, you can no longer vote under the #SAVEAct…and in order to have housing for young people who…don’t see home ownership as being something that they can achieve, he’s going to hold women who are married and took their husband’s name hostage.” 🤦♀️
It's a complete coincidence that the 11 stars and stripes on this piece of junk happens to match the number of states in the Confederacy. Do not make with the conspiracy theories.
A lot of things have 11, and the North Carolina booth had a Confederate flag too, so no big deal.
Trump has been allegedly selling pardons for up to $6 million each.
Now he may sell another 250 and pretend his open call for bribes and corruption is in celebration of our nation.
Most corrupt president ever — and it’s not even close.
Elon dared anyone to name someone USAID cuts killed and Nicholas Kristof, who did research on this, told Elon a lot of names and now Elon’s crashing the fuck out
In the height of irony, I was detained at John Lennon International AirPort in Liverpool, England by anti-terrorism police concerned about my opposition to the Genocide on Gaza and the war on Iran. They seized my phone, computer, fingerprints and DNA sample. More to come . . .
Kansas City is preparing to put facial recognition on public buses.
Critics warn that once facial recognition becomes normal in public spaces, it rarely stays limited for long.
A bus ride shouldn't require an identity check.

Any member of Congress who votes yes today on the KIDS Act—empowering the government at parents’ expense and turning every American into a surveillance target—should be removed from office.
James Carville's net worth is $6M and he's married to a Republican strategist who was a top advisor to Dick Cheney. They both profit from the status quo of us not being able to afford health care, rent, child care and education.
Everyone talks about coyotes like they're criminals lurking outside plotting to murder your pets, steal your man, and commit tax fraud. Most of the time, they're just hanging out eating rats.
Coyotes now live in nearly every major city in North America. Chicago has studied them for more than 20 years. New York City has them. Los Angeles has them. Your suburb almost certainly has them.
But most people never see them because urban coyotes are extremely good at living around us without being noticed. Chicago researchers found they shift much of their activity to night, use greenways, rail lines, drainage corridors, parks, cemeteries, and other scraps of habitat, all to avoid you and your dog.
Despite prevailing belief, their usual diet isn't labradoodles, cats, and toddlers.
In many cities, coyotes mostly eat rodents, rabbits, fruit, deer carrion, and other available prey. They also help suppress opportunistic animals that boom in human landscapes: rats, mice, rabbits, geese, raccoons, skunks, foxes, and woodchucks.
When you remove top predators from a landscape, you don't get peace. You usually get more of whatever they were controlling.
But here is the honest part coyote haters and lovers need to hear: coyotes will take small pets if we make it easy for them.
A loose cat outside at night in coyote country is not 'getting fresh air.' It is prey-sized animal in predator habitat. A small dog wandering unsupervised near woods, parks, golf courses, creek corridors, or brushy edges at dawn, dusk, or night is also at real risk.
That does not make coyotes evil. They're predators doing what they do, and your pets are your responsibility.
If you live in coyote country, keep cats indoors. Go outside with your small dogs. Use a leash. Pick up fallen fruit. Do not leave pet food outside. Secure trash and compost. Never feed coyotes. If one gets too comfortable near you, scare it off: yell, wave your arms, make noise, make yourself big, and do not run.
Coexistence doesn't mean pretending coyotes are harmless woodland puppies, but some really simple actions can keep you, your family, and your pets safe.
BREAKING: Jared Kushner will brief members of Congress by phone about the Iran peace deal.
Kushner is not an elected official, does not currently hold a Senate-confirmed government position, and yet is being brought into one of the most consequential foreign policy conversations facing the country.
Congress has a responsibility to ask hard questions, demand transparency, and make sure the American people; not private networks, are represented in decisions of war and peace.
there’s still time. please please please call your representatives & your senators as much as you can, tell them you’re against KOSA and the KIDS act. Please don’t give up now, we cannot let this pass.
