I don’t want to hear any criticism about what Black voters did or didn’t do when the majority of white voters chose fascism.

I’m not talking who is running, that can be found out from the find my ballot app, I’m talking information regarding these people. Outreach is so low that nobody ever knows who is even running.

There is nothing more frustrating then living in a district where voting information is so hard to get. I shouldn’t have to spend hours googling, calling and searching for primary information on state level representatives. Voter turnout in my area isn’t great. This is why.

A Providence police officer running for state office as a Republican punched his Democratic opponent, Jennifer Rourke, in the face during an abortion protest last night. He’s now being investigated and has dropped out of the race.

A lot of people, especially on days like yesterday’s SCOTUS rulings, ask me about hope.
Now is the time to stick together. Some thoughts from last night’s Q&A:

every senator and member of congress should be forced to watch this along with the segment just did about the little girl who smeared her friend’s blood on her so she could play dead - anyone not inspired to act is a monster.

Arming teachers is world historic stupid idea. Ask a teacher. Universal background checks, and moving the age for purchasing an AR 15 to 21 would be a reasonable start. If you want to do nothing, just say so. We will not treat every school like a Supermax prison.

Sen Chris Murphy (D-CT): “Spare me the bullshit about mental illness. We don't have any more mental illness than any other country in the world. You cannot explain this through a prism of mental illness because we don't – we're not an outlier on mental illness.”

Ben Sasse is asking where the “humanity and compassion” is…it was part of the H.R. 2471 bill and countless others you no voted. Put your money where your mouth is.

In an unanimous decision, The Supreme Court struck down a law ensuring a 35-foot “buffer zone” outside abortion clinics, ruling that it violated the first amendment preventing free speech of anti-abortion protesters.
Then the Supreme Court erected a fence around itself. Got it.

Fun fact, Manchin is from a state with about 1.8 million and only around 290k voted for him. Over 81 million voted for the policy agenda of the current sitting president.

NEW: Wisconsin Republicans are staging an all-out assault on the state’s election systems, trying to oust, eliminate and bypass the bipartisan WI elections commission and threatening jail for its commissioners so they can take total control for themselves.

"Americans say by a roughly 2-to-1 margin that the Supreme Court should uphold its landmark abortion decision in Roe v. Wade, and by a similar margin the public opposes a Texas law banning most abortions after six weeks of pregnancy"

I somehow missed the news that CPAC is going to be Hungary next year. Just wild. And another compelling answer to some of the questions I received about why it mattered that Tucker Carlson did his show in Budapest for a week.

Oppose us for as long as you want- we’re going to outlive you and replace everyone of you in every state legislature, the halls of congress and every court- we’re going to win
All because have the most important thing most of those that oppose us don’t have.

We’re apparently playing the “Things you can’t make up” game this morning. So Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett (speaking at a center named after Mitch McConnell, introduced by Senator McConnell) worries that the Court is seen as "a bunch of partisan hacks."

On August 4, there were 53,549 new covid cases reported. On September 13, there were 261,341 new covid cases reported. Interesting how the coverage of Obama's birthday was filled with outrage about the Delta variant but it's barely mentioned in coverage of the Met Gala.

Republicans have decided that the only way they can win is by preventing American citizens from voting. That should shock every American. But we can’t just sit back and watch their power grab. We have to fight back for our democracy by passing the #ForThePeopleAct.

Schumer intends to bring the filibuster showdown to a head next week, by forcing votes on a series of measures Republicans oppose, including one blocked by a GOP filibuster in 2014 that seeks to ensure women and men receive the same pay for equal work.

My anxiety has been replaced with sadness. This didn’t have to happen.
The video of Chauvin killing Floyd was horrific, but it shouldn’t take a gut wrenching video for people to value Black lives.
I hope this verdict doesn’t make anyone feel good about this country.

The charges Derek Chauvin faces:
1. Second-degree murder
2. Third-degree murder
3. Second-degree manslaughter
The jury may convict on any, all, or none of the charges.
The most serious charge can carry a 12.5 prison term for a first-time offender.
