Each morning I wake up at 4 am to the latest corporate controlled headline$ on Scamalot, as #BIGNEW$ attempts to keep profiting off the demise of humanity and dignity by focusing on rating$ over truth. It's time to end the unfunny farce by forcing a Big Reveal on the "spammy" "messaging" sent by "Project Alamo" to the minds of microtargeted Americans, who didn't stand a chance of being able to sort through the real fake lie$ being pushed their way by $camalot's filthy lucre. (Part of a thinly veiled collu$ion of network$ to reboot the "greed is good" '80$.) "Project Alamo" is the gung-ho name given by its operator$, who were so arrogant and/or naive, they gave multiple collaborator interviews about their cybermindgames leaving just enough clues for investigative producers not currently shackled by corporations to see what they were really doing: disseminating propaganda through the cyberwarfare of fake news, paid trolls, bots and fake talking heads, just like it's done in Russia. These digihack$ were praised in media... from Forbes to Businessweek.... lauded for winning the election. They were praised in Texas newspapers for creating jobs, when in fact they were being paid handily to corrupt American minds with a Russian-military style manipulation of truth and disinformation campaign. In multiple billionaire-owned media reports, "Project Alamo" digi-groupie$ specifically explained the strategy: both named and unnamed sources said they "microtargeted" ethnic Americans, women and millennial voters with "dark" Facebook "spammy" ads that only the microtargeted users could see. In these same reports, Facebook indicated it won't release these ad$. One is described as a "South Park"-style cartoon microtargeted to African American Facebook users in Florida of Hillary Rodham Clinton, mi$branding her as a racist on a quote from 20 years ago (just a year after the #GOPModerne cottage-indu$try of ba$hing Senator/Secretary of State Clinton was born by a Nixon speechwriter in the New York Times). If ad$ such as those created by the marketeer$ of "Project Alamo" are merely garden variety political mudslinging, then why not release them? Let's force these clandestine operators out of their bunker$ and into the interrogation light, because it's time for citizens to see how their minds were twisted away from the truth by a gaslighting regime that only knows one racket: money. Cyber Mind Crimes are War Crimes, we've just never experienced Big Data enabling corruption of this magnitude. It's the first time a cyber misinformation war was waged on American soil, affecting the outcome of a presidency, which many Americans feel is not a legitimate presidency but part of a much larger con.

More bombs won't end the crisis in Syria. After more than six years of war in Syria, with millions displaced and a death toll of nearly half a million people, it’s clear that there is no military solution to this crisis. But for years the U.S. has bombed Syria, and on April 6, the U.S. expanded the war by bombing a Syrian government airbase. This week's abhorrent chemical weapons attack was an act of unspeakable violence against civilians, and we are heartbroken over the deaths of Syrians, including many children. The Trump administration’s escalation is not the solution, and will only cause more killing and suffering for Syrian civilians.

Steve Bannon is the head of Breitbart news, which spews racist, anti-semitic, & xenophobic propaganda. As a self-described "Leninist," who wants "to destroy the state," he never should have been appointed to anything in the government, much less given any kind of security clearance.

Many women rely on services, such as Planned Parenthood, due to the gender pay gap (78 cents to the male dollar) and the barriers they face to obtain affordable family planning and related preventive health services. This petition supports the protection of federally funded grants allotted to agencies in order to assist women in need.

Donald Trump just ordered dozens of Tomahawk missiles to strike Syria. It's an illegal and unauthorized escalation that could have devastating consequences: killing innocent Syrians and costing the lives of U.S. service members. Let's be clear: There's no doubt that Bashar Assad is a brutal dictator who has slaughtered his own people and is complicit in the use of chemical weapons. But the solution is not to entangle the U.S. in yet another war in the Middle East, possibly even drawing in Russia and Iran, which have been close partners of the Assad regime. The U.S. cannot bomb its way to peace, but it does have an essential role to play in the world, including 1) welcoming increased numbers of refugees fleeing Syria, 2) fully supporting international relief efforts for those most affected by this brutal civil war, 3) engaging in multilateral diplomacy at the United Nations to isolate Syria, and 4) sanctioning Russia and other nations which enable the Assad regime. But none of this will be possible unless we first halt Trump's march toward war. Please add your name to this emergency petition calling for Congress to act.

Exxon has known for decades that burning fossil fuels causes climate change. Yet instead of acting on their own research, they misled shareholders and funded climate change denial. All the while, Exxon kept drilling and selling the product that they knew was driving the world closer to disaster. Several states have launched investigations into Exxon's deception, and as you can imagine, Exxon is fighting back with all they've got to derail these investigations. With such powerful foes, it takes resources and strong alliances to fight back. California has the resources to aid in the investigations, but so far Attorney General Xavier Becerra hasn't publicly committed to join. We need to change that. Tell Attorney General Becerra: Join the investigation into Exxon's possible climate fraud.

Budget cuts at UMass Boston are having a devastating impact on students, faculty, and staff.

1. This is required by the US Constitution. 2. Our national leaders have lied to us too many times. 3. The people have a right--and a duty--to hold members of Congress accountable.

There’s a lot of work ahead if we are to have a truly clean Democratic Party that can effectively oppose the fossil-fueled agenda of Trump’s Republicans. In Virginia, we’re going to have to get our state Democratic Party to turn off the Dominion Power dirty-money pipeline. Virginia is lagging behind its neighboring states on the renewable revolution because of Dominion’s influence-peddling. And now politicians on the Dominion payroll are supporting the fracked-gas Atlantic Coast Pipeline and Mountain Valley Pipeline projects. It’s crucial that the Virginia Democratic Party knows that climate hawks all over the nation will support a decision to ban corrupting political money. Add your name: tell the leaders of the Virginia Democratic Party to support a ban on political contributions from Dominion Power and other fossil-fuel companies.

Each week brings new revelations about Trump and his colleagues' ties to Russian efforts to sway U.S. elections. But we still don't know the extent of contact, or even collusion, between Trump campaign aides and administration officials and Russian intelligence, or Trump's own financial entanglements with Russia. From former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn to Attorney General Jeff Sessions, the deception continues to unfold. Americans deserve to know the truth. But the Department of Justice, even with the recusal of Jeff Sessions, can't deliver a truly independent investigation. And congressional committees have similarly demonstrated that they too are incapable of thorough independent investigations. Republican House Intelligence Chair Devin Nunes stepped aside after unethically, and potentially illegally, meeting with Trump; and Republicans have voted again and again against independent investigations. That's why, amid the near-constant drumbeat of news related to the Trump/Russia scandal, Congress must create a special, independent commission to lead an investigation, and the administration should appoint a special prosecutor charged with getting at the truth about Trump and his associates’ possible collusion with Russia.

President Trump insists that American companies stop outsourcing production. Yet, he and his daughter continue to outsource production of their merchandise, with no commitment to stop. They continue to benefit financially from outsourcing. He is in effect saying,' Don't do as I do; do as I say.' This is the height of hypocrisy!!!
