Earlier I shared an article here about how Musk is destroying our disease-detection systems.

And how we will definitely regret it.

But Musk’s own social media megaphone throttled my post.

So I’m telling you here��I’m attaching a gift link in the post below.

Share it. Read it.

Trump hopes Americans don’t realize what the CFPB does.

So I wrote this piece on why CFPB exists, the billions it has saved us, & why dismantling it devastates working people. This is class warfare & we cannot afford to lose.

No paywall. Please share:

@soledadobrien @Variety @GeetaGandbhir Congrats!!!

This is how it’s done, Democrats!

Get in front of a camera, call out the lies that impact the American people the most, and keep it simple.

Over and over and over again.

This is Virginia Foxx, an 81 year old 10-term GOP Congresswoman from North Carolina. She voted against the Social Security Fairness Act, which would restore social security benefits for 2.5 million retirees.

RETWEET to let her constituents know she voted against Social Security!

[Nick Knudsen 🇺🇸 @NickKnudsenUS]

It would be a shame if everyone shared this post with videos of Republican Governors and Senators Tillis (NC), McMaster (SC), Kemp (GA), Kasich (OH) and more PRAISING the Biden-Harris Admin’s response to the devastating hurricane.

A real shame. https://t.co/9rgaEIwqML

If you go to vote and the clerk makes ANY marking on your ballot

DEMAND a new one. Extraneous marks could confuse the counting machine or cause your ballot to be rejected.

There should be NO EXTRA markings on your ballot. BE careful in filling it out.

BREAKING IN NORTH CAROLINA,

The Republican Party here is using its supermajority (received by just ONE vote when State Rep @triciacotham defected to the GOP after running as a Democrat) to forcefully give 463 million dollars to private school vouchers and nothing to public school teachers.

THIS is why the coming election is so important!

We MUST defeat them up and down the ballot so that they are no longer about to push Donald Trump's Project 2025 through.

PLEASE volunteer, canvass, call, donate, and VOTE!

All North Carolina families deserve better!

@michaelharriot Happens all the time. My wife was talking about something and as soon as she went on the internet there was an ad for it on her phone. As I told my cousin years ago, there’s no privacy on the internet or your phone.

Project 2025 would change the 40hr workweek to a 160hr work-month, so your boss could make you work extra hours with no overtime pay by cutting your hours later in the month. See page 592.

[Andrea Junker @Strandjunker]

I know there is a lot going on, but an unusually high number of CIA agents were killed, captured, or compromised after Trump stole classified documents about them.

Just thought I should remind everyone of that.

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

This is why you fund the IRS. It's also why Republicans don't want to.

The media isn't going to save us so we have to save ourselves. We're going to build Biden's digital army (no we're not going to attack the capitol) and win in November.

Here's how:
• retweet this (super super important)
• reply with #NoDemUnder1K
• Elon has disabled viewing "likes" so tap "reposts"
• follow everyone who reposts this
• tap the # and follow those accounts as well
• follow each other back (super important)

If you have more than 10k followers, retweet a few of the replies so they can find others as well.

Theoretically, you can follow ~375 other people per day. That's 2600+ in a week and 10k in a month.

If you start today and only half the people follow you back, you'll have over 1k followers in a week and 10k in two months if you're diligent and proactive.

It does require all of you to collectively be proactive and also reciprocal.

Make sure you comment on the posts of the people you follow. Build a community. Create groups of core friends/shared perspectives/vocal leaders. The more interconnected we are, the further we'll be able to reach.

The retweet button is your best friend. Retweet anything good regardless of how many followers they may have. Find your voiced, share your thoughts, and we can blow the media and the gop out of the water.

You can't singlehandedly change anything by yourself, but with enough of us working together, we can save our democracy, even if you only have a thousand people following you. But once you have the support structure of knowing people want to listen to what you have to say, you'll have more and more to share.

While that doesn't seem like much, 4 years ago, I was you. No followers. No voice. Democracy on the line. Feeling helpless. In that sense, you're neither unique, nor alone. And if you do feel alone, you won't be for long. If you do feel helpless, forget what you can't do and focus on what you can.

Help me build this thing. Help us save democracy. Help us win.

[Rev. Benjamin Cremer @Brcremer]

As a pastor, I’ve experienced this far too often in my ministry.

When the way of Jesus sounds “liberal” or “weak” to us, that’s when we know we have replaced his gospel with our own partisan politics.

1. One of the main drivers of inflation in the US is skyrocketing rents, which are up 30%+ over the last four years.

So, it's surprising that the recent FBI RAID on a corporate landlord based in Atlanta has received little attention.

The raid was part of a federal probe of an alleged CRIMINAL CONSPIRACY AMONG LARGE LANDLORDS TO JACK UP RENTAL PRICES

Follow along to learn how the scheme works
