  1. It’s election season…so please remember: “Those who profess to favor freedom and yet depreciate agitation, are people who want crops without ploughing the ground…The struggle may be a moral one, or it may be a physical one, or it may be both. But it must be a struggle. Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never did and it never will.” — Frederick Douglass

    Organize, mobilize, turn-out to vote - as hard as they may make it. Energize and educate your friend groups & sympathetic co-workers. Join a phone tree, knock on doors; these are the things that matter. In the next weeks, there will be very little more important that GETTING OUT THE VOTE. You can ignore red voters, don’t waste your efforts. If we turn-out OUR voters, we win. There *will* be an undervote by Republicans, so turning out our people will make the difference. #USPol #USPolitics #Elections2026

  2. What is it with #Republicans and pedophiles? #NEWS - A pastor kicked off a recent campaign stop for Michael Whatley, the Republican nominee for Senate, with a prayer that asked God to bestow “integrity and honesty” upon the event and to right wrongs “hammered down on the conservative movement.” The prayer was hardly unusual by North Carolina political standards. What was surprising was the man who delivered it. Pastor Daimon L. King is a registered sex offender, twice sentenced to prison for convictions involving children, according to state and court records.

    ‘I’ve Never Seen This’: Massive Collapse in Support for #AIDataCenters Captured in New Poll

    “If you can think of a cohort of Americans, there’s a good chance they wouldn’t welcome a #datacenter in their area.”

    Brad Reed, Aug 20, 2026

    "A poll released on Thursday shows a massive collapse in support for building #ArtificialIntelligence #DataCenters among #Republican, #Democratic, and #IndependentVoters.

    "The poll, which was conducted by Embold Research and published by Heatmap Pro, shows that 75% of Americans now oppose building AI data centers in their area, including 61% registering strong opposition."

    "Just one year before, 42% of Americans said they opposed AI data centers in their areas, compared with 43% who expressed support."

  8. *Poof!* Years of #Trump Support Came Undone in 15 Minutes in an Airport.

    The case represents a new front in President Trump’s #MassDeportation drive: arrests at airports of people who have active immigration cases and no criminal history.

    "Mr. Jindra considered himself a #MAGA patriot until his wife’s detention."

    By Miriam Jordan
    Published August 16, 2026, updated August 17, 2026

    "#BrentJindra, a tech salesman, voted for President #Trump three times, drawn by his aggressive immigration agenda. He never imagined the crackdown would ensnare his own wife.

    "Last month, moments after the couple got off their flight in Burbank, Calif., a young man in a brown hooded sweatshirt stopped #GalinaBobreneva.

    " 'Congratulations, you’ve been chosen for secondary screening,' he told her, according to the couple’s recollection.
    The man was a federal agent, and after questioning Ms. Bobreneva for about 15 minutes, he led her away in handcuffs to an unmarked vehicle.

    “ 'I’m only doing my job,' he said. 'Everything will be OK.'

    "So began a 16-day ordeal: a night on the floor of a basement holding cell in downtown Los Angeles; two weeks in a Mojave Desert detention center and a frantic legal effort to win her release."
