Freedom House’s verdict was bad. V-Dem’s was worse. And today, Bright Line Watch’s is dire. trib.al/voOz01M
Experts using data and cross-country comparisons are universally declaring the U.S. is becoming less democratic at a much faster rate than other nations. But we can still turn it around.
The ‘unspecified’ is a soon to be released official Trump Proof of Citizenship Card
For the meager sum of $695 (plus & $47 handling & shipping fees) every person in the US can get their express voting right!
Disclaimer- the card automatically completes the ballot for Republicans only

That’s because the Democratic Party isn’t an opposition party. It’s a controlled opposition party that exists to undermine true resistance to the oligarchs.
Get this Dem out of Congress ASAP. When voters say there's no substantive difference between Democrats and the fascist Trump regime, it's precisely due to the behaviour of Democrats like Slotkin.
You have signed your own pink slip by allying yourself with the Trump regime, Elissa
Not just Trump.

1/4 The era of the US protecting its closest allies is over. A secret strategy of "civilizational realism" has turned the State Department into a machine for dismantling the European Union. This is the institutional rebuild no one is talking about YET. #DV1 #ProudBlue #Voices4Victory #USDemocracy
I will say this forever but ICE is both an ethnic cleansing machine and an ideological terror machine. It is entirely built as an extralegal goon squad that only cares about fealty to the regime.

"Trump’s Iran war has turned out to be unsuccessful and unpopular. Yesterday morning Trump signaled retreat...It’s important to take advantage of the moment. It’s important to hold Trump accountable for his reckless and incompetent war and to emphasize its costs."

As his network loses interest in the war in Iran Sean Hannity decides the real enemy was Miss Rachel a children's YouTube personality who is advocating for children in ICE detention. Also don't check the price of gas or Trump's approval ratings...Miss Rachel is the enemy.
When Homan talks about going after “money smugglers” he’s basically talking about legalized theft by “civil asset forfeiture.” No conviction in court is required to seize large amounts of cash. The money is assumed to be “guilty” and you have to prove it’s innocent.
They want to use AI:
RFK Jr. and Dr. Oz have a plan to save rural health care. Here’s the catch.

This is one of the most frustrating things living here. In my lifetime, every Republican controlled government has, without fail, resulted in a catastrophic economic event.
I'm not saying the DEMs are the answer, but the GOP formula clearly isn't it.
The GOP have their own propaganda network. Most Americans just go off of generic stereotypes without any kind of critical analysis.
They assume liberal = taxes. Conservatives = fiscal responsibility, because that is what their parents told them.
If I had read about the last decade in a novel, it would have shattered my suspension of disbelief because I would never have imagined people being so incredibly, willfully stupid.

New from me: by the end of the week, the war in Iran will likely have cost $25 billion, with Trump poised to ask for $200 billion more
Below is a writeup, but the meat of it is this table, which shows what an equal amount of funding could cover domestically

Breaking: Girlguiding has announced plans to kick out existing trans guides.
They previously barred new trans members, but this is a heartbreaking step to exclude trans girls from existing groups of friends. It will be devastating for members and volunteers

Iran’s negotiating posture has hardened sharply since the war began, with the Revolutionary Guards exerting growing influence over decision-making, and it will demand significant concessions from the United States

As time has gone on I've realized there is a still quite small but now non-trivial chance that the entire Iran War is simply an insider trading operation, creating repeated black swan moments and relying on markets continued willingness to gyrate wildly in the face of absurd and predictably ...
Also it is important to remember that Canada did similar and I never heard of it until recently
On this day in 1942, the United States evicted Japanese Americans from their homes in Washington and forced them into internment camps.

ICE agents aren't wearing masks at airports.
Why is ICE not wearing masks? Many theories, but Trump said he doesn't want them too.
