Donald Trump has re-ignited his racist smear campaign against President Obama. At the same time, he’s working to raise millions of dollars to elect Mitt Romney. Mitt Romney has refused to discredit Trump’s baseless attacks, and is actively seeking Trump’s support.
Mitt Romney is sending a clear message: he’s fine with his supporters launching racial attacks on President Obama. We can’t let this stand. Please join us in publicly confronting Mitt Romney.

Another Godless Goddess: OK Rape Victim Denied Emergency Contraceptives: Doctor Cites Religious Objections
Doctors across the nation are now free to refuse medical care to women on the basis of their own personal beliefs. What follows is a particularly egregious application of these “religious conscience” laws, and underscores why women nationwide are standing up and fighting back:

Super-virus Flame raises the cyberwar stakes
Gee - just think of the possibilities: The NSA/CIA/EffaBeeEye military-industrial cabal get to muck about with Iran’s computer systems, while at the same time laying further groundwork for a “tightening” of cybersecurity here at home - meaning more intrusive surveillance, invasion of (near non-existant) privacy, and general snooping on otherwise “good ‘Merkins.”
H’ray for the Daddy State!
Not.
ThinkProgress: Virtual Blackout From National Media On Voter Suppression In Florida
These scumbags are trying to get away with this *again*; if you care about democracy, get on the phone and tell them to knock it off!
Florida Governor Rick Scott (R) has directed his administration to purge the state’s voting rolls of thousands of registered voters prior to the November election. But his list, which purports to include only “non-citizens,” targets mostly Democrats and Hispanics and, as ThinkProgress has documented, may disenfranchise hundreds of citizens who are eligible to vote.
The story of a sitting governor of a state with a history of presidential election shenanigans knowingly purging his own, eligible constituents from the voter rolls is the definition of major news, and yet remarkably, in the first five months of the year, The Washington Post, The Wall Street Journal and USA Today have published a total of zero articles about Scott’s actions. The New York Times did slightly better, printing one story on page 16 of the Friday, May 18th edition. The article ran under the credulous headline: “Florida Steps Up Effort Against Illegal Voters.”

Not sure that I’ve ever been so honored to introduce someone as I am right now.
Gac Filipaj is a refugee from the former Yugoslavia. For the past twelve years, he has worked as a janitor for Columbia University. His job title is “Heavy Cleaner,” which includes emptying the trash and cleaning the toilets.
During this time, he worked until 11pm every night during the week. After his shift concluded, he would start studying. This weekend, after twelve years of study, Gac graduated from Columbia University with a Classics degree. Rarely have so many qualities I admire been wrapped up in a single person.

Meet Bill: The 91-Year-Old Decorated WWII Veteran Targeted By Florida Governor Rick Scott’s Voter Purge
Three weeks ago, Bill received a letter from Broward County Florida stating “[Y]ou are not a U.S. Citizen” and therefore, ineligible to vote. He was given the option of requesting “a hearing with the Supervisor of Elections, for the purpose of providing proof that you are a United States citizens” or forfeit his right to vote.
This decorated World War II veteran is just one of hundreds of fully eligible U.S. citizens being targeted by Governor Scott’s massive voter purge just prior to this year’s election, according to data obtained from Florida election officials by ThinkProgress. The purge list, according to an analysis by the Miami Herald,targets mostly Democrats and Hispanics.
Dear Republicans (and your terabagger asshat cronies):
Really? How much lower are you nitwits gonna sink in trying to steal *another* Presidential election? Weren’t two ENOUGH?
Just bugger off…
Neoliberal democracy. Instead of citizens, it produces consumers. Instead of communities, it produces shopping malls. The net result is an atomized society of disengaged individuals who feel demoralized and socially powerless.
In sum, neoliberalism is the immediate and foremost enemy of genuine participatory democracy, not just in the United States but across the planet, and will be for the foreseeable future.

And you wanna vote fer this chucklehead *why*?
Looks like Mitt Romney is running for President of the United States of “Amercia.”
In an embarrassing blunder, Romney’s campaign misspelled the word “America” on its new “With Mitt” iPhone app, launched Tuesday.
The app has a transparent skin that allows users to take a photograph and superimpose the slogan “A better Amercia” on the image.
The presumptive Republican nominee is taking heat on the Internet for the error.
“Whew, I hear Mitt’s updating that misspelled Amercia on his app. He’s just going with Untied States now,” read one tweet.
“Does Mitt Romney believe that Obama was born in Keyna,” another tweeter jabbed.
