Missouri officials directed county election administrators to make voters temporarily unable to vote if they were flagged as potential noncitizens by a federal tool.
But in hundreds of cases, the tool's determinations were wrong.

“Not Ready for Prime Time.” A Federal Tool to Check Voter Citizenship Keeps Making Mistakes.

I’m so happy to share my conversation with Namwali Serpell about her brilliant new book ON MORRISON. In addition to discussing the late great novelist, we also talk about how professors are failing students by not assigning more books. “Difficulty isn’t a wall, it’s a doorway.”

Here's a list of all the places Trump is building concentration camps to brutalize non-white men, women, and kids—including many in the US legally and some who are citizens.
Most will be sent to die in places they've never been to or to be tortured by Trump pals.

This is horrific. It’s cruel and unusual punishment. The U.S. president and his administration have no humanity or decency. I am so ashamed of this country.

They darkened her skin. They made her heavier. They made her look older. They made it look like she was crying when she was courageous.
I just wrote days ago that Trump hates no demographic in America more than Black women. How much more evidence does one need?
This is as openly racist as it gets.

PROOF EXCLUSIVE: Trump’s “Board of Peace” Just Became a Criminal Enterprise
Either the international organization Trump just launched and put himself atop is illegal under federal criminal law, or Trump isn’t planning to honor the result of the 2028 election if Democrats win.
