and since whining is not a strategy, we need to reform Section 230 cepr.net/publications... and promote alternative media cepr.net/publications...

cepr.netSection 230: We Really Should Talk About ItMost people are bothered by the ability of the rich to buy elections with their vast fortunes. They should feel the same way about the ability of the rich to control the media.

Elon Musk boosted the lie that James Talarico stayed at a mental hospital. Meta suspended No Kings’ Instagram account during nationwide actions. Staff at the Ellison-owned CBS News were reportedly told to tie Abdul El-Sayed to the Muslim Brotherhood and 9/11. Democracy dies in billionaire hands.

Dolly Parton’s sister Stella says the voting machines kept changing her vote back to racist MAGA lunatic Marsha Blackburn’s name and had to correct it a few times. Not surprised since the only things fascist republicans do is cheat, lie, steal, crime and destroy. Triple check everything.

🚨 WOW! Brett Meiselas absolutely RIPS into Trump: "This is someone impeached for an extortion scheme. And now he's extorting the American people." "He is a PREDATOR. He is now being a predator against the American people."

Brett Meiselas: This is why you don’t put a criminal into office in the first place. This is why we arrest criminals. This is why they go to prison, so that they can’t commit more crimes. Instead, we put a fraudster into office. What do you think he’s going to do? He’s going to commit fraud.

Russia is now exempt from the Lindsey O. Graham Russia Sanctions Act. The US government is clearly allied with Putin against Ukraine. Vote Republican enablers out.

Democrat John Lewis was jailed 45 times for peacefully protesting for civil rights for all Americans. Republican Donald Trump was never jailed for inciting a lethal riot with a knowing lie because he lost an election. Vote Blue. Because good trouble makes America greater than bad trouble!

Racist crook Ken Paxton was caught partying in Dubai with a woman who isn’t his wife and two literal fugitives from US justice. This is the same scumbag who was under criminal indictment in Texas for nearly 10 years and fascist republicans allowed him to remain the office of AG anyway.

I have lived in Texas for over 20 years. I have been amazed at the buffoons, cons, and crooks Texans will vote for as long as there is an (R) behind their name. Case in point, Texas voted for lying Ted Cruz (R) over Beto O'Rourke (D). #VoteBlue #VoteTalarico
