These fascist-friendly 70- and 80-something billionaires would prefer to end democracy, destroy the planet, and condemn their granddaughters to a Handmaid's Tale-future if the alternative is paying slightly higher taxes. Sex, Lies and Election Theft
In 2016, Trump committed a crime that stole an election. Without it, there would have been no 2020 election interference, no Jan 6 coup attempt, no classified document theft. Give the "hush money" case it's proper due: It's the most serious crime of all. How Much Crime Is Too Much Crime?

Republicans insist that books and drag queens are the biggest threats to children. Meanwhile, they're exposing kids to the truly life-destroying effects of racism, bigotry, sexual abuse, forced births, gun violence, poverty, disease and climate destruction. Time to X-it.
As Elon has allowed formerly banned extremists, trolls and crypto scammers continue to run riot on X, the blocking feature has been an essential tool for many users, especially those being actively harassed, insulted, intimidated and threatened. Even if he doesn't go through with "Hitler Tactics"
“These are Hitler tactics, and something has to be done," said 98-year-old Joan Meyer shortly after the illegal August 11 raids on her home and the offices of the small-town Kansas newspaper she co-owned.

Before Moms for Liberty. Before DeSantis ran for governor. Before CRT became the latest racist GOP dog whistle.
