Let’s address the false claim circulating about Bob Casey allegedly trying to count non-citizen or unregistered votes in Pennsylvania to change the outcome of the Senate race. This is misinformation. Here’s what’s really happening: 🧵

Alright, here’s the real story. Forget the despair; forget the blame games. Look around you, because history’s trying to give you a wake-up call, and it's got a nasty sense of humor. Picture this: Germany, early 1930s. No tanks rolling down the streets, no flags yet. Just a lot of regular folks looking the other way, thinking everything was just fine, until one day they found themselves wrapped up in a flag that strangled more than it waved. They didn’t see it coming because they didn’t want to, because the words sounded so comforting: “patriotism,” “strength.” By the time the crowd caught on, they were stuck in a cage, and the key was long gone. And it all happened 18 months after Hitler was appointed Chancellor. Now, ask yourself if today’s any different. You got this Project 2025(or whatever they will name it) creeping around, acting like it’s gonna “fix” the government for “the people.” But look closer. What you really got is a set-up to turn everything into a one-note opera where the only voice that matters is the guy with the biggest chair. Take away the watchdogs, and all you’ve got left are a bunch of yes-men and maybe a choir singing about “efficiency” and “security.” You like that? Does that sound like a democracy? Remember, power grabs don’t stomp in through the front door. They sneak in the back, with a smile, a handshake, and a couple of buzzwords about “making things Great Again.” Just like back in Germany, the signs were there, small at first, so easy to shrug off. Today, it’s the same song, second verse. We’ll be looking at a slow strip-down of the agencies meant to keep power in check. They’re telling you it’s all for your benefit, just like before. Well, history’s knocking, and the question is: are we gonna answer, or are we just gonna keep watching the rerun sitting in despair? Now here’s the kicker: democracy doesn’t get handed to you wrapped in a bow. It’s not some gift your grandpa left on the porch. It’s a fight. Every vote, every protest, every letter you write to some rep who’d rather be on a golf course. And Project 2025? This thing’s all about making sure that fight gets easier for them and harder for you. Less accountability, more puppets on strings. Let’s talk about what we can do. Because sitting around, waiting for the next guy to handle it? That’s the ticket to nowhere. Know Your Stuff! Don’t just scroll past headlines. Learn what democracy means, how it works, and what happens when it goes up in smoke. Don’t get played by shiny words and promises. Support the Real Journalists! They’re the ones digging up what the rest don’t want you to see. And the minute we lose them, the lights go out. Support local papers, independent voices, anyone who still cares about getting the real story out there. Defend them. Spread the word. They can't do it on their own. They need your support. Find Common Ground. we’re all getting played. The people pushing Project 2025 want us too busy arguing over left, right, red, blue, to notice what they’re sneaking in under the table. But look around. Across the board, Democrats, Republicans, independents, most folks are catching on. Three-quarters of Democrats, nearly half of independents, and even a chunk of Republicans are saying, “Not on our watch.” So, let’s get wise. If we dig up every part of this plan, show people what it really means, the spin falls apart. This isn’t about politics; it’s about keeping the power with us, not them. Together, we’re a force they can’t ignore, and they know it. Protect Voting Rights! If voting wasn’t powerful, they wouldn’t try so hard to make it harder. Support whatever gets more people to the polls, not less and defend and protect those rights. This requires us to organize and protest if we must. -Social media isn’t just memes and snappy one-liners; it’s a battleground for shaping reality. And believe me, right-wing and foreign bad actors know exactly how to work it. So here’s the move: push for transparency, call out disinformation, and sharpen your eye for manipulation tactics, no matter what platform you’re on. And don’t sweat the trolls; they’re noise, nothing more. The louder they get, the more you know you’re hitting the right nerve. Use them as a signpost. Speak the truth; let it sit. Lies need constant upkeep, but the truth? That stands tall on its own. Show Up and Speak Out! Town halls, protests, rallies. Get your voice out there and remind these folks that we’re watching. They’d love nothing more than for us to curl up, sit down, and shut up. So don’t. Stand by Whistleblowers. They risk their necks to tell the truth. They’re the ones who’ll tell you when the ship’s sinking before everyone else does. So, here’s the choice. Right here, right now. Are we gonna be the generation that let it all slide? The one that sat back, maybe typed a few angry words online, and then watched the lights go out? Or are we gonna be the ones who stood up, who didn’t flinch when history came calling? Because when the dust settles, and future generations are combing through the rubble looking for answers, they’re gonna be asking what we did when it mattered. Are they gonna find a country where folks turned their backs, or one where people stood shoulder to shoulder, righted the ship, and said, “Not today. Not on our watch”? If we mean it when we say we love this democracy, then we can’t sit around hoping someone else will step up. Not next week, not tomorrow, right now. The future’s pounding on the door, and it’s on us to swing it open, look it dead in the eye, and say, “We’re not backing down.” If you think this message hits the mark, please spread it far and wide. And if you don’t, then jump in and make it stronger. Because this is it, folks. The power players have a grip on all three branches of the government, much of the media, and social platforms. It’s up to us to hold the line, to stand up for what’s right. #StrongerTogether

Oh.

Growing up, Homelander dreamed of working at his local Vought A Burger. Recently, his wish came true, as Vought shut down a restaurant and staged pre-selected customers, so Homelander could “serve” “people” “food.” Thanks, Homelander, for showing everyone how you’re a true man of the people!

Outstanding account of your experience!! Well done, Marine. Oorah! — From a fellow veteran for Harris/Walz 🇺🇸

Fry cooks across America are excited for you to give their boss a tax break!

Listen to the people who worked closely with Donald Trump: the man is utterly unfit for office

"We do not need to see what an older, loonier Donald Trump looks like with no guard rails."

.@KamalaHarris has spent her life fighting on behalf of people who need a voice and a chance – and she's going to keep fighting for you. That's the kind of person I'm proud to vote for and that's the kind of president that we need.

Today I learned that the red panda is so unique, it has no close relatives. It's the only living species in its genus AND family.

Dear MAGA: If you dropped off your child as a boy and picked your child up as a girl, please return her back to the school, you picked up the wrong child. Thank you.

As someone who served in the Trump White House, I witnessed the destruction & chaos firsthand. A second Trump term will bring more turmoil. As a lifelong Republican, I may not agree with Kamala Harris on everything, but I trust her to protect our freedoms, uphold the rule of law & provide steady leadership on the world stage. That’s why I’m voting for Kamala Harris. #RepublicansforHarris

Can you imagine any Republican in Congress today talking about immigration this way?

Powerful #tornado with a jet like vortex at the ground!

Good news! Both husband & wife, Mike and Susan Coffey, made it out safely and have been reunited. Now that I have some more details, I believe the Lake Lure Assistant Fire Chief (Chris Melton) handled this very badly & should, at the least, be demoted. qcnews.com/news/investigatio…

🧵I’ve read through the evidence section—the first 85 pages—of Jack Smith filing on Trump’s private criminal efforts to stay in power despite knowing that he’d lost the election. The evidence is stunning. It’s clear why Trump did not want the public to see this testimony. 13 things jumped out to me on Trump’s attempt to defraud the American people and steal the 2020 election.
