The ‘scared majority’ could deliver a landslide victory for Trump (rant)

If you believe that Donald Trump & Co represent the working class, congratulations! They’ve successfully pulled the wool over your eyes! Trump’s tax cuts benefitted the rich and his tariffs (and Biden’s) hurt American consumers, not China!

The author is right about one thing—“fear”. The xenophobic fearmongering about illegal immigrants is outlandish, considering Biden has been deporting them on par with Trump (not to mention the ones being detained at GTMO)!

Another thing, for as long as I’ve been able to vote, neither party has represented the working class! Read about the Powell Memorandum!

Republicans Pump Brakes on KOSA After Realizing It Could Censor Them Too 🤭

For a while, we’ve been pointing out how terrible KOSA (the Kids Online Safety Act) is. Our main concern is that the bill would fundamentally lead to the suppression of all kinds of speech. That’s because the “duty of care” provision, while limited, would allow officials (mostly at the FTC, which can get partisan) to argue that certain types of results were due to a design failure, and companies would seek to suppress content, rather than face the potential liability.

LGBTQ community sounds alarm bells over Vance

In addition to a history of anti-LGBTQ statements, the Ohio Republican is the primary sponsor of at least two pieces of federal legislation threatening to sharply roll back transgender rights, including one proposal that aims to ban gender-affirming medical care for minors nationwide. 

That bill, the Senate version of Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene’s (R-Ga.) Protect Children’s Innocence Act, would charge health care providers who violate it with a Class C felony, punishable by more than a decade in prison. It would also prevent institutions of higher education from providing instruction about gender-affirming care and cut funding for health plans that cover treatment.
