New records show ICE investigators gaining access to voter files in two counties

The host points out that despite the rhetoric coming from the White House and tRump there have been only 100 cases of non-citizen voting in 43 years. That is an incredibly small number. But the tRump administration wants to decide which citezens can vote and who can not. It is minority rule over the majority, it is single party rule like in dictatorships such as China. It is the end of democracy. All so tRump and republicans can stay in charge so the wealthy can raid the treasury and the entire wealth of the country leaving the people as slave labor to the upper class. Hugs

New reporting from Axios offers a window into just how far the White House is willing to go to pursue baseless claims made by President Trump for years. The group Democracy Forward obtained new records showing ICE agents went directly to local officials in Texas and North Carolina to obtain voter files. “We need to be very vigilant and we also need to be outraged,” says Skye Perryman, President and CEO of Democracy Forward. “It’s going to be incumbent upon every single American to make up their mind that we’re not going to have our voices silenced.”

‘Real men serve others’: Talarico fires back at ‘Low T’ attacks in exclusive sit-down

Texas Democrats have spent decades trying to flip the state blue. Now, Democratic Senate nominee James Talarico says this may be their best chance yet. In a wide-ranging exclusive sit-down with The Weekend’s Eugene Daniels, Talarico responds to President Trump’s attacks on his campaign, Republican efforts to make masculinity central to the race, and why Democrats think Texas is in play. Talarico also responds to attacks from Republican nominee Ken Paxton and shares his own definition of what it means to be a “real man.”

THE CENSORSHIP GETS WORSE | Armageddon Update

Trump’s Iran Ultimatum Explodes in His Face | Armageddon Update

Thank You, On Behalf Of All Kansas & Other Kiddoes Who Watch The Environment’s Weather!

It’s a big help to see things like this; it helps to understand why things are happening that don’t make sense. The other night, we had so much rain, my backyard was a shallow pond. Not a swamp, or rice paddies or whatever, but a literal pond. That hasn’t happened in years, for one thing, but I was mostly looking out and hoping it wasn’t going to turn into a brown ocean (which I learned of in another weather video on this site.)

A bunch of clips from The Majority Report on a verity of subjects

In this on Sam and crew show clips of tRump talking sexually about other world male leaders and make jokes about tRump’s sexuality. They also mention how he rambles disjointedly and his dementia seems worse. Hugs

Emma and Ken discuss the new memorandum on terrorism that targets activist, protestors, and people who post online. It is an attempt to stop people from expressing a negative opinion of the tRump administration and the horrific actions they are doing. They talk about how the administration really believes that just talking badly about ICE actions is doxing them and any doxing is terrorism. The administration feels that no one has 1st amendment rights and that anything done to protest the administration is terrorism. The fear it inspires is discussed along with the cost incurred by the defendants. Hugs

Sam and Emma are talking about how the tRump administration is using the FBI to attack and interfere with democratic voting groups who work to get voters to the polls, raise funds for democratic candidates, investigating civil rights some times with out warrants showing up on the doorsteps of volunteers implying they had committed a crime. The agents are demanding publicly sometimes in front of family members that people answer questions, give them communications, the agents are on fishing missions and intimidation. As Brian says telling people about an election is fraud. Hugs

I post this last one by Matt Binder filling in for Emma and Sam showing how Riley Gaines will say anything for money and just how stupid she really is. She has made money hand over fist using her hatred for trans people get right wing contracts and show deals talking about any talking point the right wing wants to push and emphasize. Hugs

This Has The Entire Establishment Terrified…

Three things I love in one video. I really enjoy The Majority Report, I love why they have Digby on, and I am very supportive of Platner’s progressive anti establishment corporate democrats policies. As Digby says the party is much more left today that it used to be since the 90s and the center is much more right than it was. She says we have to push back hard against the push to the right that the establishment cooperate democrat’s leadership has made. Hugs

Barred Owl

Tecolote Listado (Spanish)

About

The Barred Owl, a nocturnal dweller of mature forests in the United States and Canada, has deep, dark eyes and rich, chocolate-brown and cream-colored plumage. This large bird can easily evade detection in the daytime, as it blends in with the tree bark, flies on silent wings, and is quite sedentary. But there’s no mistaking its haunting, hooting song.

The song of the Barred Owl is an instantly recognizable, wild, and unignorable declaration of ownership to any creature of the swamps, woodlands, and suburbs they call home. If there’s a Barred Owl in your neighborhood, you know about it. Perhaps even more ear-catching is the caterwauling duet performed by mated pairs. Complex, highly variable, and spine-tingling, these coordinated vocal displays may give the inexperienced naturalist cause to wonder if a troupe of monkeys might have moved in nearby.

Very much an adaptable generalist, the Barred Owl occurs in a variety of woodland habitats across a wide and expanding range. Formerly confined to eastern North America, the Barred Owl’s ability to colonize the woodlands that sprang up across the Great Plains in the wake of fire suppression allowed this species to spread westward through the 1800s. By the mid-1900s, they had reached the Pacific Northwest. where they encountered the closely related but less aggressive Spotted Owl. Since then Barred Owls have outcompeted Spotted Owls for territories, and Spotted Owl populations have declined across their range. (snip-MORE)
