Of all the negation errors, "non citizens are not voting" is the MOST confusing one to voters in focus groups because it's a double-negative. People actually can't follow what this is meant convey. As ever, say what IS happening don't argue against what is NOT happening.
Hey Oakland!!! Tomorrow at 9am come to the Courthouse at 1301 Clay St. where trial begins to #BlockTheMerger between Paramount and WB.

Let's dispense with praising Roberts Court for affirming, in essence, words mean things. That they entertained debating & some ruled against plain language of Constitution is vile. Then there's this little gem from Roberts, which really tests boundaries of what a dependent clause does...
We must call every lawmaker standing in the way of legal abortion Senator/Congressperson/Assembly member Hanger, except when we call them Senator (etc) Pedophile. Everywhere they go, ask them: How many women do you want killed before you are satisfied?
The #BraveOfUs speak truth and stick with it not because we have no fear but rather because our conviction outweighs that fear. Kudos to Paigelynn, the NY poll worker who refuses to bow to ICE pressure to take down her post about murder of Renee Good.
Ah. The people desperate yesterday to not let "far left radicals" replace incumbents have moved from anger, through grief, to there was actually no difference between the losers they backed and the winners they insisted were totally unhinged destroyers. Got it.
Yes, point out Trump blocking housing bill because he only cares about seizing, increasing & holding power. But repeating "SAVE Act" goes against this. Not enough voters understand intent behind it and "SAVE America" sounds good. Call it "Voter Elimination Act."
A perfect encapsulation of what happens when you let oppo set terms of debate from username "peoplewithbluehairshouldnotvote" in Australia, where voting is compulsory.
Imagine if someone had subjected the Civil Rights Movement's messages, tactics and strategies to polling.
And...while you're watching know that 24 miles away, around 1500 people are held captive so that this corrupt convicted rapist and likely pedophile has a way to keep his base engaged & enraged. letthemgo.us
Update, the incredible folks at Children Thrive Action Network & TIRCC have been pushing hard, Gov. Bill Lee's office is getting flooded & he's claiming they will "fit it" next session. Kids will die in the interim. Keep calling now (615) 741 2001 & demand to stop the notices
Minnesotans were, are and will continue to be the #BraveOfUs showing up with and for their neighbors, facing down armed agents of the state with nothing more than their bodies.
Every time you hear Shakira sing "let's go" in this year's World Cup anthem, commit to sing "Let Them Go." This song will be on endless repeat (remember Waka Waka) and we can make it a demand to free the captives from the camps.
Let's turn what's sure to become an earworm from Shakira's World Cup anthem from "let's go" to a clear demand: #LetThemGo.
Near every stadium where fans are cheering, families are held captive simply for who they are. Find out more - letthemgo.us
Little wonder that a society that depicts pregnancy like this, the person carrying is treated as a vessel.
Going to go ahead and assume the Least Coast decides to weigh in on our election - and not, say, the MAGA crime syndicate keeping people from voting and votes from counting - because we are, indeed, the Best Coast.
The greater the ruling regime's desperation, the more people recognize their crimes, the more they seek to shift blame by dehumanizing. Nothing short of full throated support for groups scapegoated by regime can actually repudiate fascism. People must see there are clear sides.
