This is so true. All democracies, take heed. X, Meta, et al, are weapons. Time to respond accordingly.
Also it needs to become illegal to lie about election fraud.
Lula:
"We had to overcome foreign interference through digital platforms, which we will have to regulate. A crime in the digital world must be treated the same as a crime in the real world.
We cannot have monstrous companies earning millions... not paying taxes... wanting to steer elections."
Genuinely I don't know that it comes across to people who haven't been here to watch how almost unbelievable this was, just people taking something that looked impossible and dragging it kicking and screaming all the way to inevitability.
Political power is meant to be used to fight for the people you serve, not to line your own pockets and sell out millions of our tax dollars for a quick check.
I live in a blue state. Been voting for 42 years. Always a polling place in walking distance. Never had to wait in line behind more than 2-3 people. No bullshit. No hassle. No drama.
That’s what a functional democracy looks like.
Hungarian PM Péter Magyar:
"I have just spoken by phone with the leaders of the Students List, who won the elections in Serbia, to congratulate them... I assured them of Hungary’s support. I was delighted to hear how much strength our victory in April had given them during this difficult struggle."
In his acceptance speech, Lula says he will work to regulate digital platforms in Brazil. “Digital crimes must be dealt with like real-life crimes.” This comes after Meta directly interfered with the Brazilian elections, favouring Flávio Bolsonaro.
Any politician who’s willing to throw away one group’s rights is willing to throw away everyone’s rights. It’s that simple.
Every single consultant, pundit and candidate who’s shown a willingness to abandon trans rights needs to be shunned from the party forever
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”
As some of you know, a drunken driver killed my sister in 2002. My mother, now 83, has been a major MADD fundraiser and this is likely her final camapign. This is a link to her Facebook post on how to donate on behalf of my sister. If you can, much appreciated.

The pedophile protection party’s president is laundering right-wing conspiracy theories through the most corrupt DOJ in American history.
Whenever the news turns bad, this creep reaches for one name: mine. So let’s make it crystal clear. My name has always been Ilhan Omar.
Mr. President, our state is not yours to rename. Our history is not yours to erase. Our culture and identity run deep, shaped by generations of New Mexicans long before you or the U.S. were here at all.
We are proud of who we are and where we come from. Because we are New Mexicans.
"The decades I was catching violent offenders, Mike Rogers was voting and cashing out with the special interests. So yeah, this Trump voting Fed agent is voting for Abdul El-Sayed."

I met a Minnesotan who paid $18,000 out of pocket for dental surgery because Medicare just doesn't cover it.
Your eyes and teeth are part of your body. It's time to expand Medicare to cover vision and dental - then get to work passing Medicare for All.

Instead of standing up to Putin, Trump is using American power to protect Musk’s business interests.
TRUMP. IS. A. TRAITOR. 😎🇺🇸✨
Ossoff: "Maybe you saw that Donald Trump was in Dalton yesterday, oblivious to the collapse of his presidency. A crowd smaller than this one enduring two hours of senile babbling while the price of oil hit its 5 month high"
Rep. Delia C. Ramirez has introduced a bill that would abolish not just ICE, but the DHS altogether, repealing the 2002 law establishing the agency and replacing it with one focused on protecting civil and human rights.
For years, Beto O’Rourke has been knocking on doors, registering voters, and organizing communities across Texas. That’s what building people power looks like. No shortcuts, just years of showing up and doing the work. Thank you, Beto, for never giving up on Texas.
