The majority white council in Baton Rouge is attempting to remove a Black woman who chairs the Library Board with a less qualified white male. She has an MBA and parliamentary training, has led the library board well.  They didn’t say why they weren’t voting for Nicole, they just didn’t and deferred it to the next meeting when the missing white members will be in attendance. They didn’t have all 7 at the meeting so they couldn’t appoint anyone else.  Truth is, y’all listening to entertainers while folks playing with your tax dollars. The people doing this live in your city, and if enough of you show up you can evict them from office. Every member of the council but one is up for re-election this year.  Send them an email and let them know we are watching what they do in 2 weeks. Let them know people around the country see their racist ways on display. Their mouths say one thing, their votes and actions speak their truth. MetroCouncilMembers@brla.gov MetropolitanCouncilAides@brla.gov And for those in other places, understand that boards and commissions have power to impact your life. Not voting means letting other people decide who from the community serves on the board or commission.  Do your part so the quality of life in the community can change. Show up…  #KeepPushing #AlwaysRising

The Unexpected Victory of Marie Gluesenkamp Perez and Her Call for Electoral Reform

Meeting Marie Gluesenkamp Perez I first encountered Marie Gluesenkamp Perez in 2022 while she was campaigning for Congress in a predominantly Republican and predominantly rural area of Washington State. At that time, her candidacy was widely regarded as a long shot. In fact, just prior to the election, the polling aggregator FiveThirtyEight estimated her chances of winning at a mere 2 percent.…

Bernstein Predicts $90,000 Bitcoin Surge if Trump Wins 2024 Election

In a recent analysis from the $725 billion asset management firm Bernstein, Bitcoin may reach unprecedented levels if Donald Trump secures the U.S. presidency again in 2024. The firm projects Bitcoin could surge to $90,000, significantly exceeding its previous all-time high of $73,000, which was set earlier this year. This prediction is rooted in Trump’s pro-crypto stance, with his…

Olivia Nuzzi PUNISHED Over Criticism Of Biden

Sep 4, 2024 TYT Clip of the Day - Hour 1 New York Magazine’s Olivia Nuzzi criticized President Joe Biden and his deteriorating condition became apparent to the American people.

10:23 Olivia.

10:24 Totally agree. Know exactly what that's like.

10:27 The difference is that mainstream media organizations

10:29 tend to ignore bad faith campaigns against reporters led by the right.

10:33 I have no illusions about massive corporate media entities

10:37 and their tolerance for even the faintest murmurs of a PR crisis, so I can't say I

10:43 was surprised, but I was disappointed.

10:46 And then she says the following, which I think is the most important point here.

10:49 She says, I really believe that if you want to live in a world that is forgiving

10:54 and where people hold even those they disagree with to the

10:58 same standards they wish to be held,

11:01 you can't cave to mob pressures as a means to protect yourself, even

11:06 when it would be a lot easier to do so.

11:09 That's how this type of culture is formed and maintained, and as individuals, we get

11:14 to decide if we think it's worth enduring a little pain to fight against it.

11:20 Yeah.

yesterday, i cried my eyes raw. i grieved for my fellow trans and bipoc family, for women, for everyone affected, here and abroad.

today, i felt the sun shine a little brighter. today, the last chapter of dracula hit my inbox.

something about the timing— the conclusion to a story about enduring an evil alongside the people you love and trust, to keep on fighting even when that evil wants you to believe that all hope is lost…

i think it was a story i needed to hear right now. dracula daily is cyclical; the world will keep on choosing hate and evil.

but we must endure, like jonathan. we must love, like lucy. we must grieve, like arthur. we must seek the truth, like jack and van helsing. we must fight on, like quincey. we can’t do it all alone, we need each other.

more than anything, we must survive and tell our stories, like mina. we must survive.

Dare We Say "Murderer"?

I have long contended that, taking into consideration his knowledge of the pandemic, along with his reckless disregard for the consequences of his inaction, Donald John Trump is guilty of second degree murder. It’s clear he was more interested in his re-election and “legacy” than the safety or security of the American people. One of the primary duties of the President is to protect the national…

LIVE: Trump BLOWS IT with Devastating Confessions on Live TV SEPT.18,2023

"On this episode of the MeidasTouch Podcast, Ben, Brett and Jordy discuss a series of deranged interviews and speeches by Donald Trump, in which he admitted to various crimes, lied to the American public, and showed severe cognitive decline. We also dissect the media’s coverage of these moments and show how they enable fascism. Meanwhile, House Republicans are in complete chaos with a government shutdown around the corner a full-blown revolt within McCarthy’s caucus. Texas AG Ken Paxton was acquitted in his impeachment trial following tampering by Donald Trump — that he admitted to. We’ve got the receipts. We’ll also discuss the Biden administration’s securing of the release of 5 American citizens wrongfully detained in Iran and much more."

Joe Biden officially announces he's running for re-election as US President

US President Joe Biden on Tuesday officially announced that will seek a second White House term in 2024.

US President Joe Biden on Tuesday officially announced that will seek a second White House term in 2024. The 80-year-old Democrat - the oldest US president ever - could see him facing Donald Trump again as the latter announced his re-election bid earlier.

Sharing a little over three minutes video, Biden said, “Every generation has a moment where they have had to stand up for democracy. To stand up for their fundamental freedoms. I believe this is ours. That’s why I’m running for reelection as President of the United States.” The video opens with imagery from the January 6, 2021 attack on the US Capitol by supporters of former President Donald Trump.

“Freedom. Personal freedom is fundamental to who we are as Americans. There's nothing more important. Nothing more sacred. That's been the work of my first term - to fight for our democracy. To protect our rights. To make sure everyone in this country is treated equally. And that everyone is given a fair shot at making it,” Biden said in the video.

Slamming the ‘MAGA extremists’ (MAGA is the acronym for the "Make America Great Again" political slogan of Trump), Biden said that they are “lining up to take those bedrock freedoms away.”

“When I ran for President 4 years ago, I said we are in the battle for the soul of America, and we still are. his is not a time to be complacent. That's why I'm running for re-election. I know America. Let's finish this job. I know we can,” the 80-year-old Democrat added.

Biden's age makes his re-election bid a historic and risky gamble for the Democratic Party. While it has become a central attack point for the Republicans, Biden's supporters have asserted that his age “reflects the experience he has for the job.”

if you are in the united states, trump WILL be banning MANY books that were previously banned then unbanned. he will censor anything and everything that goes against his bigoted, ignorant rhetoric. these books will be taken off shelves for sale, and removed from libraries and public domains. if you have the funds, please buy these books or download them. get your hands on these books in any possible.

knowledge is resistance. resistance is power. do not let fascism win.

EDIT: here is the list i have compiled so far
