Fraudulent Behavior. Where have we seen this before⁉️🤨

Just in case you thought the whole world wasn't privy to what's going on here in America in regards to 47. There is a literal site called the trump action tracker. In case anyone is interested. #SheShed

Well we all no the answer, but let the EAC wear egg!

“Can’t believe NYC elected a Muslim as mayor.” In truth—a Black American Christian woman swearing in a Ugandan American Muslim of South Asian ethnicity as his Syrian American wife holds the Qurans he swears in on, all while standing on the steps of a subway station—is the most NYC thing imaginable.

At year end, the dividing line in politics today is defined by dignity. Dignity is something that can't be taken away. It can only be surrendered voluntarily. We saw the most powerful business leaders willing to surrender dignity while everyday Americans stood tall.

Wow.

This is Trump’s long game. We’ve spent years cracking down on fraudsters. It’s a serious issue - but this has been his plan all along. He’s politicizing the issue to defund programs that help Minnesotans. www.cbsnews.com/amp/news/hhs...

Did you know? Last year, Minnesota eliminated prison gerrymandering. The law, signed by Tim Walz in the spring, ended the practice of counting incarcerated people where prisons are located, which skews political power within the state.

Today I wrote about how this year many large institutions -- media, law, business -- sacrificed their dignity for profits. It is more vital than ever to support independent pro-democracy outlets. Become a Democracy Docket member to access premium content and support its work. hubs.ly/Q03CbHTt0

“MAGA diehards and ‘America First’ ideologues have become so numb to the suffering of others that they see Trump’s transgressions and human rights abuses as cause for celebration rather than deep national scars and misdeeds for which we will someday be forced to atone.” open.substack.com/pub/noelcas

The right to vote is currently treated as second-class, unlike the right to own guns. Although the right to bear arms seems unrelated, developing new pro-democracy theories requires seeking inspiration in the most unlikely of places, Marc Elias writes.
