ALL PIPELINES 8/09 - STOP GENOCIDE & it’s not in Gaza/Ecosystem Attack/StandWithUkraine/climate/Human Rights/ProtectSacred Sites

This is an important listen IMO. Interesting road blocks sprang up thus the reason for the Voting Rights Act. The GOP have been working for “new found efforts to try to dilute the votes especially minority votes not necessarily based on voters of color who tend to, not always, but tend to vote Democratic.”  Let this sink in: “[T]he 15th amendment said that the right to vote can't be abridged on account of race. And it gave Congress the power in that amendment to pass legislation to effectuate the guarantee of the 15th amendment.” This is what this did: "First, it identified a whole cadre of states that had been engaged in really kind of wicked stratagems notwithstanding constitutional guarantees to keep especially African Americans from voting. And section 4 of it set up a way of determining who were the people that were sort of going to be in the penalty box, which states. And section 5 established a preclearance requirement.” He fully explains this here. Gerrymandering come into play here. Litman says, “You are a total politicized Republican-appointed commission, and you draw crazy lines in the state and it’s 100% clear what you’re doing. You’re trying to minimize minority—you’re trying to minimize Democratic participation." Now do you see why I said what I did at the beginning of this post? So much more is presented here. So much more is presented here. - Dismantling the Voting Rights Act —Is It Legal?

What stands out most in this post is what is said about Lawrence O’Donnell’s program on MSNBC. - Lawrence is standing strong against that orange menace. I know he has to appreciate his viewers liking him standing up just like Maddow does. Most of us won’t give an inch either to the lies told by that unhinged, incompetent corrupt convicted felon. - Trump’s Chaos Is Growing. So Is The Opposition

This is how I will always stand. I will continue to fight against those two and authoritarianism. Real patriots will stand with preserving our democracy. F*** Putin, Felon47, and authoritarianism. This is what is at stake: “Democracy or authoritarianism. Ukraine or Russia. The West or Putin. ICE or freedom. Sabotage or oligarchy or broad-based posterity and opportunity for all.” Let that sink in. Which is what you desire? The answer should be simple. I fully support Simon in this: “We will fight for democracy, for Ukraine, for Europe, for NATO, for our own national security and sovereignty, for maintaining American leadership of the global rules-based order built after WWII” and against the other ugliness that the orange felon supports. He will FAIL in his attempts to destroy us. We are STRONG. He is WEAK. We will also do whatever is necessary to preserve our democracy, fight for these four missions described in this piece. This is where it is for me as stated here: “[I]t may be now, in August of 2025, in these United States of America that the time has come to make clear where we all stand.” I fully agree with all that Simon lists in his bullet points here. If you stand as I do, please share this with your friends and other like-minded people in this beautiful country of ours. - I Stand With Ukraine, Europe and Freedom. I Stand Against Putin, Trump and Authoritarianism

I will say right off the bat as the saying goes that this is a great read. If any of those topics listed in the first couple paragraphs interest you, and if you want to read more, they’re presented as links to follow. Yes, these Texas Dems who left Texas ARE HEROES. They’re working FOR the people of Texas, not Felon47. This is SOOOOO true: "Trump is coming at this from a place of terror, not strength.” He IS WEAK. He IS a CROOK (always has been) as is obvious here: The felon "is bizarrely demanding a new census be completed (likely in an effort to tilt the scales for the 2026 midterms), despite the Constitution saying that the census shall take place every 10 years and the last was completed just four years ago.” But good news is seen as described in the next paragraph. What is shown here is what corruption this felon has been up to since entering office. I won’t say anything about him taking the oath of office because it’s been obvious since the beginning that he is not following what a president should be following as is in the oath. He’s a clown among other things, scared as hell. He should be. He is the most hated to ever occupy the Oval Office. - Texas Reps. Stand Up & Stand Tall

This corrupt regime in DC is determined to destroy whatever it can in its greed for fossil fuels in spite of what has been accomplished in the Arctic Refuge in spite of this: "More than a quarter if a million people have responded to the June 2 proposal from the US Bureau of Land Management (BLM) to follow back protections on the National Petroleum Reserve-Alaska (NPR-A), the largest track of public land in the US “. This is something that should continue to protest against this corrupt regime in DC. This is more evidence that this corrupt crap in the White House doesn’t give a damn about what the people want as is evident in this: “[T[he administration’s decision to start dismantling protections for the NPR-A before the comment period concluded showed ‘a lack of interest in meaningfully reviewing any input before taking action to allow unfettered industrialization across this landscape.’” To learn more, this is worth a read. - ‘Erasure of years of work’: outcry as White House moves to open Arctic reserve to oil and gas drilling

Several short videos are included with the text. How many more young women have been scared for life because of Epstein and Maxwell. Maxwell deserves absolutely no compensation of any kind, which does include allowing this sex trafficker something to shut her up re: the Epstein files. - Remembering Virginia Guiffre

The law should be going after those who deserve investigations into Pam Bondi who breaks the law daily. This  biznitch is going to waste our tax dollars to go after those who are not guilty of anything. Most of this country knows she and the guy she supports are the criminals. She and that individual she is using to do her dirty work will find nothing, but then this administration has no issue wasting our tax dollars. If you want to keep up with what this corrupt felon and his minions are up to, this is a read for you. I mean, give this some thought: "A 2-1 decision in the D.C. Circuit has deprived Judge Boasberg of jurisdiction to proceed with his inquiry into whether Trump administration officials should be held in criminal contempt for violating his orders and sending 130 Venezuelan men to CECOT prison in El Salvador in March.” Felon47’s appointed judges did that. This is not a surprise at all: “The dissenting judge, Obama appointee Cornelia Pillard, wrote the majority’s decision was legally unjustified and ‘a grave disservice’ to Judge Boasberg, who the Trump administration has gone after with an ethics complaint.” Read what else is said about this. The real issues with ethics points toward this entire corrupt administration. Many have been focused on the BS going on with the GOP in Texas as the felon pushes for more seats in Texas illegally. This piece is quite a read. And yes, it’s important that we fight for this democracy that the felon is attempting to steal from all of us. Screw him and the rest of the corrupt GOP! - A Tough Week For The Rule of Law

This should be happening, and continue t happen. Release the damn files. Interesting byline. None of us will allow those in the WH will never "outrun the Epstein scandal.” Dan Bongino’s podcasts & QAnon, hmmmmm. Maybe he will be the one to blow up this Epstein scandal. Something to think about either before or after listening to this video included: “In my joint investigation with the Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project (OCCRP), Lev Parnas became a key named source of our reporting exposing oligarchs, lobbyists, and alleged crooks behind Trump’s relationship to the Turkish government.” Parnas also goes into the differences in the two administrations of Felon47. He also speaks about Putin before and now. Whitkoff has gone to speak to Putin quite a few times since the felon took office. I have to laugh with Parnas that the felon wants to side with the strongest one. Does this fool think this will make him look strong? This interview is a bit over 40 minutes in length. - Lev Parnas: Ex-Trumpworld insider said White House Fracturing under Epstein glare
