The very fact we have to say “vote against fascism” is a damning indictment of the failure of our democratic institutions and the rule of law. You shouldn’t be able to vote FOR fascism. Democracies that lack constitutional safeguards against fascism will, eventually, stop being democracies. When? At the last election. The one that elected the fascists. Democracy cannot tolerate fascism. Tolerance cannot tolerate intolerance. I’m afraid this is a lesson we will learn the hard way. Again.

Whether it’s the Biden economy’s record-setting job growth or Trump’s record-setting felony convictions, both presidential candidates are taking the nation into uncharted waters.

BREAKING: Senate Republicans just voted to block the Right to Contraception Act, which would enshrine the right to contraceptive access nationally.

When people say, "They'll never take that away," They're WRONG!!!

No Rights are Safe with Republicans in Office.

All nine Republican senators running for reelection this year just voted against the right to contraception:

John Barrasso
Marsha Blackburn
Kevin Cramer
Ted Cruz
Deb Fischer
Josh Hawley
Pete Ricketts
Rick Scott
Roger Wicker

So much for the party of "freedom."

This sounds -- not good.

"Almost four out of every 10 #journalists covering the #climate crisis and environment issues have been threatened as a result of their work, with 11% subjected to physical violence, according to groundbreaking new research.

Despite the breadth and magnitude of the problems, 39% of journalists surveyed reported having #SelfCensored – mostly due to fear of repercussions from “those undertaking illegal activities” or the government."

I ask this relatively regularly because I want to keep an eye on the landscape.

I'm a software engineer with a PhD in international criminal law. I am on the lookout for (open source?) projects that are useful to human rights researchers/activists/defenders. I am hoping to contribute as a volunteer software engineer.

If you know of a project like this, please get in touch. If you don't, please boost if you'd like!

🚨 Republicans have banned abortion even in medical emergencies.

Dems are running in 9 competitive legislative seats there.
Breaking the supermajority is the best Dems can hope to do here this cycle, but it's a start. Donate today.

HOWEVER...he's still gonna raise a shitload of money off of the verdict.

I'd strongly advise chipping in a few bucks to help President Biden & Senate Democrats.
