A big part of the authoritarian playbook is war. War takes over the news. War blots out criticism. War divides a nation’s people, subjecting those against it to being called unpatriotic. War grants leaders all sorts of emergency powers. War consumes everything else.

We mustn’t let this war do so.

🚨BREAKING NEWS: President Donald Trump claimed Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei is dead, saying U.S. intelligence worked “closely with Israel” to locate and target him in a joint U.S.-Israeli operation. 

He suggested additional senior Iranian leaders were also killed in the strikes.

Trump urged Iranian military and security forces to seek “immunity” and to merge with what he called “Iranian Patriots” to restore the country. He also said heavy bombing “will continue, uninterrupted throughout the week or, as long as necessary” to achieve “PEACE THROUGHOUT THE MIDDLE EAST AND, INDEED, THE WORLD!”

The DoD now has more money than it knows what to do with.

Imagine if we spent that money on healthcare or housing instead.

Lawsuit filed over Ohio voter registration purging law The League of Women Voters of Ohio and CAIR-Northern Ohio have filed a federal lawsuit challenging the state Senate Bill 293, according to a release from the Campaign Legal Center, which is representing the organizations, along with the ACLU Voting Rights Project and the ACLU of Ohio.

We're suing to protect Ohio voters.

SB 293 is a direct threat to the fundamental right to vote and will disproportionately harm naturalized citizens across Ohio.

Social Security Disability Insurance is an essential part of Social Security.

Workers EARN IT with every paycheck, just like retirement and survivor's benefits.
