Two clips from The Majority Report.
DHS is using administrative subpoenas to retaliate against dissenters
The power of te federal government to make people’s lives miserable. This is an important story on how the tRump faist goveernment is using all the levers of power to keep people from speaking up. Imagine the expense of needing to get a lawyer to fight the US government. Hugs
‘The Librarians’ focuses on America’s book-banning battle
This is simply a push by religious groups to force their church doctrines on the rest of the public. I also they think if kids don’t see representations of LGBTQ+ kids people in media they won’t become LGBTQ+ or accept others who are. They are incorrect. It is about a small group of people trying to force the majority of people to be at like them. These people don’t like letting other people be themselves, they demand the right to run other people’s lives and to manage other people’s kids. As the report says this is pushed hard by Christian nationalists who demand the right to enshrine their church doctrines into civil laws and force their religious views on the entire nation. Hugs
GAY MARRIAGE UNDER ATTACK: New campaign targets hard-won rights
Every creditable study done shows that kids of same sex couples do as well if not better than the kids of opposite sex couples. And of course what tool do they use, we ust protect the children. Every culture war issue these christian groups attack hey use we have to protect the children. Trans rights issues, books and media depicting LGBTQ+, and drag queens are all attacked using that same trope of protecting the children. It is a dodge because where were these save the kids people when school lunch programs were slashed, when food assistance was cut to the bone, where were they when kids had underfunded schools among some issues that affect kids? Hugs
‘I won’t vote for any funding’ for DHS, ICE unless our demands are met: Sen. Blumenthal
A democratic senator is speaking out against ICE and doing so forcefully. I appreciate him doing this. Where is Chuck Schumer? At least he is not getting in the way of others trying to get the democrat’s message out to the people. Hugs
If You’re Rich, You CAN’T Be Guilty
Election clips including tRump’s racism saying it is corruption to have black people vote
2 MS Now clips on the administrations racism / ICE and attempts to whitewash history to remove words like racist. The goal is to erase anything that makes white people look bad.
Why a Republican plan could disqualify married women from voting in the midterms
The save act in congress won’t just hit married women, it will keep some married men from voting as well. One will be me. The save act the republicans are pushing would require your birth ceertific and driver’s license to match to register to vote. Also according to this report the photo ID must be a passport which I did not know, and if true most lower income people don’t have one. They cost over 200 dollars. Mine don’t because when we got married I took Ron’s last name. I think everyone can understand why. But my license has my married name of course, but my birth certificate has my adopting parents last name. Hugs.
