@cassandra17lina someone had to say it.
#Politics Here’s some unsolicited advice for #Democrats in “reliably red” districts or states. Instead of lamenting that there’s “nothing we can” do because of #gerrymandering (while you’re still hitting us up for money), show us what you WOULD do.
Set an aspirational vision. Tell us where we can direct our money to effect real change and help marginalized Americans, (somewhere other than your campaign coffers.)
Our Republic is burning; we can’t smother the flames with e-mails.
By Katie Benner and Glenn Thrush: For the past year and a half, the Justice Department has approached former President Donald J. Trump’s effort to overturn the 2020 election results with a follow-the-evidence strategy that to critics appeared to border on paralysis — and that limited discussions of his role, even inside the department.
Then came Cassidy Hutchinson.

Trump fires back after Musk says it’s time for him to ‘sail into the sunset’ https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/3557077-trump-fires-back-after-musk-says-its-time-for-him-to-sail-into-the-sunset/
Did you work in the Trump White House? Did you witness or participate in acts of treason or obstruction of justice? Did you feel guilty, but stick around for the sake of your lucrative book deal? Did you stay loyal to Trump but miss the window of opportunity for a pardon? Are you freaking out watching your colleagues testifying in front of the #January6thCommittee? Do you wish you’d stepped up to tell the truth?
No operators are standing by. Nobody’s coming to save you. You’re toast.
You'd think that having been caught with their pants down over participation in Trump's fake elector scheme, they'd tuck their tails between their legs and go home in shame. But they're doubling down, trying to change laws to allow them to use "alternate electors" any time they don't like how the majority of their constituents vote. They're following a false doctrine called the Independent State Legislature Theory, which is complete bullshit. F*ck these "originalists".... oops, I mean FASCISTS.
@ContentWarningVirusB42 I couldn't agree more. The last time these Repuglican fascists won the popular vote in a Presidential election was 34 years ago! No wonder they love the Electoral College so much... it keeps putting them back into power over and over again, by disregarding the will of the majority of Americans, so that once again, they can wreck our economy.
@LiberalLibrarian well, having just tested it out, it definitely works very well. One paywall that outline could never break was for the NY Times. Archive just powered right on through to the article I wanted to see. Thanks for this, I'm going to share it with friends!
@LiberalLibrarian Thanks for telling us about Archive dot ph. I've often used outline dot com, but an increasing number of websites have figured out how to render it useless.
Is there a story on your "favorite" news site, but you're out of your 2 free articles a month? Well, never fear! There's a website for that.
Archive dot ph will break pretty much any paywall. Even those with "hard" paywalls. There are some it won't break, but there are very few. So give it a try.
Don't mind me I'm just catching up from a busy workday.
This and the rest of them are amazing.
There is no chance we are the only intelligent life in the universe.
