Middleboro Review and so on

  Corrupt Attorney General Pam Bondi capitalized on the murder of an ICU nurse, Alex Pretti, in Minnesota as an opportunity to demand access to sensitive voter roll data ahead of the 2026 midterm election. Using Pretti’s murder by Border Patrol agents and ICE’s unprecedented violent surge in Minnesota as pretext, Bondi offered to “restore the rule of law” if Gov. Walz allowed the DOJ to gain access to Minnesota’s voter registration records:     MAGA is sowing chaos and murdering people on the streets in order to extort blue states into handing over sensitive voter information.  Bondi’s sick ransom note to the State of Minnesota reveals the true meaning behind all of Donald Trump’s domestic agenda:  MAGA will do  whatever it takes  to interfere with the 2026 Midterm elections to prevent being defeated at the polls in November. This incident is a warning for those hesitating to fight back with equal force and passion against Trump’s interference in our elections—i...

  Let me understand this - The Federal Government, Department of Justice,Pamela Jo Bondi is Blackmailing Governor Walz of Minnesota??????? Blackmailing Walz that she will remove Ice if he gives her Minnesotan Citizens Voter records, private data?????? That is breaking at least 4 LAWS! Not only Impeach Bondi, she needs to go to Jail!

If a federal agent uses their power to force a governor to perform or refrain from an action through fear of economic or reputational harm, this act is violated. Extortion by Employees of the United States (18 U.S.C. § 872): This statute...

  Support our nonprofit journalism   January 2, 2026 Happy New Year. My name is Julia Métraux, and I’m a disability reporter at  Mother Jones . Last year, the disability community lost a leader, a treasured friend, and an oracle: Alice Wong. There’s so much to remember Alice for, so any list would not do full justice, but I’ve admired her dedication to advocating for Palestinians and also co-creating  Crips for eSims for Gaza , which helps provide access to the internet. Her advocacy on this issue has received backlash, but as someone who embodied the principles of disability justice, Alice kept fighting the good fight. I’m going to miss her insights on how disabled people can fight back on Medicaid cuts, including to home and community-based services, as Alice has been a crucial voice on the importance of disabled people living independently. She was also very encouraging to me and others:  When I was very much an up-and-coming disability journalist, Alice was alway...
