@QasimRashid

And then who do #voters turn to?

Vote for #republicans who are actually doing the deeds?

#CancelCulture in this case is like a snake eating its tail.

No excuse for the lackies licking the heels of #Trump but there are:
#aoc
#elizabethwarren
#rashidatlaib
#ilhanomar
#ayannapressley

and others who, through no fault of their own, landed in the #Democratic party. In the US there are essentially two choices.

"If you choose not to decide you still have made a choice."

#Tlaib, #ACLU, and advocates warn #HR9495 could empower Trump to silence nonprofits and stifle dissent

#Progressives and #CivilRights groups sound the alarm over legislation that could allow President-elect #Trump to strip nonprofits of their tax-exempt status without evidence, threatening #FreeSpeech and #democracy.

By Alexis Sterling -
November 15, 2024

"The bill does not require officials to provide an explanation for designating a group, nor does it obligate the #TreasuryDepartment to present evidence of wrongdoing. This lack of accountability has raised alarm bells among advocates who see it as a tool for #authoritarian #suppression.

"#RashidaTlaib Tlaib has been one of the most vocal opponents of the bill, particularly given its timing amidst heightened protests over U.S. support for Israel’s military actions in #Gaza. 'This is authoritarianism,' Tlaib said. 'This bill is designed to silence dissent and give Trump #UncheckedPower to target groups he doesn’t agree with'.'

"Other progressive lawmakers echoed her concerns. Rep. #SummerLee (D-Pa.) called the legislation 'a giant threat to free speech,' warning that it would allow the government to “label any nonprofit as ‘terrorist-supporting’ without evidence or due process—opening the door to crush opposition and silence dissent.' Rep. #IlhanOmar (D-Minn.) added that 'no one person should have the authority to silence organizations that dare to challenge government policies or speak uncomfortable truths.'

"Rep. Jamaal Bowman (D-N.Y.), who is leaving Congress after losing his primary to a candidate backed by the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (#AIPAC), described the bill as 'extremely dangerous.' He cautioned that it 'will sink us further into #authoritarianism. It is an extremely dangerous bill that would give the government unlimited power to stop the work of #humanitarian groups and target political enemies. All without transparency or evidence.'

While the bill is widely seen as a response to criticism of U.S. support for Israel, its potential impact goes far beyond organizations advocating for Palestinian rights. Costello warned that 'the danger is much broader than just groups that work on foreign policy. It could target major liberal funders who support #PalestinianSolidarity and peace groups who engage in #protest. But it could also theoretically be used to target #ProChoice groups, and I could see it being used against #environmental groups.'

"#JewishVoiceForPeace Action’s political director Beth Miller described the legislation as 'terrifying,' emphasizing its potential to suppress civil society across the board. “This bill should be a five-alarm fire for anyone who seeks to protect free speech, civil society, and democracy. This is part of a broader #MAGA assault on the right to protest that begins with attacks on #Palestinian rights groups and is aimed at outlawing the #SocialJustice movements that fight for progressive change. This is part of a well-worn authoritarian playbook to dismantle fundamental freedoms.”

U.S. Rep. Ilhan Omar, a member of the progressive "Squad," survives Democratic primary challenge in Minnesota.

AP reports: "Omar avoided the fate of two fellow Squad members. Rep. Cori Bush lost the Democratic nomination in her Missouri district last week, and Rep. Jamaal Bowman of New York lost his primary in June. Both faced well-funded challengers and millions of dollars in spending by the United Democracy Project, a super political action committee affiliated with the American Israel Public Affairs Committee,"

On the subject of looking for excuses to erase progressive black female politicians out of public office, if i hear one more time about #IlhanOmar supposedly being #antisemitic because she said something or other about 'It's All About the Benjamins', I'll lose it! She was referring to $100 dollar bills. Not Jews! Not about conflating jews with money...NOT her point.

According to my mum, the #rap song called 'All About The Benjamins' came out in 1997 before I was even fucking born.

#BenjaminFranklin is on the face of a one hundred dollar bill

That's it.

BUT, ah, why does this remind me so much of the epic #FallOfTheRomanRepublic?

(Except forno female #Senators back then, of course)

Please Tell McCarthy to Keep Ilhan Omar on the House Foreign Affairs Committee.

actionnetwork.orgDefend Rep. Ilhan Omar. Keep her on the House Foreign Affairs Committee Speaker Kevin McCarthy’s attempt to strip Representative Ilhan Omar from the House Foreign Affairs Committee is petty, punitive, and wildly partisan. Rep. Omar is a progressive champion in Congress. She brings unparalleled lived-experience to the committee as a Somali-born refugee, and the first ever African-born member to sit on the House Subcommittee on Africa, Global Health and Global Human Rights in the history of the United States. A skilled legislator, she has introduced the Pathway to PEACE: a package of several pieces of legislation to re-center human rights and justice in U.S. foreign policy: including Stop Arming Human Rights Abusers Act which bans security assistance to countries that violate international human rights law; and the Global Migration Agreement Act which instructs the State Department to pursue the adoption of a binding global pledge to address migration causes and fund crisis response. We’re calling on members of Congress to release a public statement of support for Omar and commit to voting against any resolution that would remove her from the House Foreign Affairs Committee.
