Everyone should pay careful attention to the Maine voter ID ballot measure (Prop 1). It is on track to lose -- thereby proving that the GOP claims that voter ID laws are overwhelmingly popular is a lie. Perhaps now the legacy media will stop repeating that nonsense.

A message and a Lesson from Norway 🇳🇴 💙💙

ICE just reactivated its contract with an Israeli firm that makes phone-hacking spyware. Here's what you should know. #ICE #NewsUS #Hacking #spyware

“You simply can’t treat the airstrike group chat the same way you treat the friend’s girlfriend’s birthday brunch planning group chat. … I mean, these dumbasses are probably planning the invasion of Greenland on Snapchat right now.” www.instagram.com/reel/DHmZMV9...

Watch the 1935 Nazi film “Triumph of the Will”—and then go throw up www.dailymotion.com/video/x7wp10u

Crisis *MAY* be upon us??

Your vets are not up on this issue. If your cat gets a “respiratory illness” or if signs are not plastered all over the clinics warning owners not to feed raw meat to their cats, “because we haven’t heard anything,” make sure your cat gets tested

“You may think there’s some kind of psychic or moral merit in jumping into every conversation and saying ‘No, it’s over! He said he was going to be a dictator! He said who he was! Believe him! Don’t be so naive!’ But really that’s just rolling out a red carpet, the ultimate capitulation in advance.”

Stephen Miller’s likely playbook: Between 1933 and 1945, the Nazis revoked (“denaturalized”) the citizenship of tens of 1,000s of Germans because they were Jewish or “political opponents.” Besides seizing property, they also revoked the citizenship of Germans *who had left the Reich*
