Everyone needs to see Randi Weingarten’s powerful and deeply personal endorsement of Abdul El-Sayed. At a time when fear and division are being weaponized, her message of unity, equality, and democracy deserves to be heard. Please watch and share. ❤️ #BlueWaveIn7Days

popularresistance.orgHundreds Of Thousands Protest In France Amid Heightened Police Security - PopularResistance.OrgParis, France – Hundreds of thousands of people across France have marched in a second wave of mass protests against deteriorating school conditions and the rising cost of living. France’s Ministry of Interior said 410,000 people protested nationwide on Saturday, including 110,000 in Paris. The CGT, one of France’s largest union confederations, put both figures at nearly double the official totals. In the capital, a cheerful demonstration started at Porte d’Italie before reaching the Porte de Vincennes, along the Boulevards des Marechaux, by 5pm local time (15:00GMT). Towards the end of the march, as night fell and temperatures dropped, the mood changed.

Kansas Dem Sen. nominee Adam Hamilton on trans rights: “I don’t think we should take a small group of people and bully them, pick on them, and hurt them. I understand one thing really clearly when it comes to transgender people, and that is Jesus told me I was to love my neighbor as I love myself”

"Trans people are a tiny group with no power" This isn't true, and I hope my trans readers can internalize this. You are more powerful than you think. Trans and gender expansive people are 2.34% of the US population in the latest survey. That is more than enough to swing a race.

Sen. Adam Schiff tells NBC that Pete Hegseth and "anyone who has knowledge of what happened" should testify before the Senate on Ukraine's Starlink disruptions. "Somebody is lying here. Maybe they're all lying in different ways, but we need to find out."

this is total gobbledygook? the process to decide who should be certified as the winner is the election, and there is no federal law that says the courts get to decide who that is.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

Blanche on CBS says his suit against Alaska is "asking the court to step in where the Alaska Supreme Court didn't, which is to look at federal law and if necessary to allow a process for Alaska to decide who should be certified as the winner." (So, the voters won't get to decide. Got it.)

Day 1 after the Conservatives won a super majority: white nationalists gathering across the street from the BC legislature. Gonna be a long and hard 4 years. Take care of each other, friends. Don't stop fighting back and standing up for what's right, but take care of yourselves and each other first.
