“Being a first-generation #American 🇺🇸 with my #immigrant parents means #voting is more than a personal choice; it is a way to represent my family that doesn’t have a voice at the ballot box.” 👉🏽 latinonewsnetwork.com/opinion/the-re… - #Democracy @LatinoNewsNet_

“As a #Latina, I’m frightened by how my community is being treated in times when #democracy seems to be fading. When hard-working people live under constant threat, it’s hard to believe those promises were ever meant for us.” 🇺🇸 latinonewsnetwork.com/opinion/what-d… - @LatinoNewsNet_

Why It Matters: The controversy underscores a broader tension between #government #accountability and #political damage control. #Citizens can’t make informed decisions if public officials operate in secrecy or sidestep scrutiny. thefulcrum.us/ethics-leaders… - @fulcrum_us

Native-themed mascots often rely on caricatured imagery, portrayals that distort reality and reduce diverse Indigenous cultures to monolithic, outdated tropes. thefulcrum.us/pop-culture/do… - #Trump @Commanders @CleGuardians @fulcrum_us

Governments may use laws or funding to reward favorable coverage and punish criticism. Political influence on media isn’t just a behind-the-scenes power play—it’s a force that can shape the very soul of a nation. thefulcrum.us/media-technolo… - #stephencolbertcancelled @fulcrum_us

#Illinois Senate President Don Harmon fined for improperly accepting campaign cash. I mix it up on the latest edition of #Chicago Newsroom 2.0 on @cantvchicago (segment begins at approximately 31:20) 👉🏽 youtu.be/MVJKE7gdY4Y?si… - #government #politics

Poll: Spanish speakers in the U.S. are likely to feel like they don’t have enough independent #news sources to make informed decisions when it comes to #voting. thefulcrum.us/media-technolo… - @freepress

Did #Putin play #Trump? What was once a murmur has become a chorus, with even #conservative voices acknowledging that @POTUS may have misjudged the #Russian leaders intentions. thefulcrum.us/governance-leg… - #UkraineWar @fulcrum_us

“I didn’t inherit #American #democracy. I was made an accessory to it. As a young adult raised in the #UnitedStates with limited legal protections, I’ve watched my presence in this country debated, politicized, and dehumanized.” thefulcrum.us/governance-leg… - TheFulcrum.US

Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill used hidden cuts, legislative tricks, to hide who really benefited. thefulcrum.us/governance-leg… Tax cuts (mostly for the rich) will kick in BEFORE Nov 2026 midterms. Cuts to Medicaid, food assistance, student loans, clean energy programs kick in AFTER…

#MAGA faithful moan over the complete release of the #JeffreyEpstein files despite #DonaldTrump claiming Epstein is “somebody that nobody cares about.” thefulcrum.us/ethics-leaders… - @fulcrum_us

Frustration to inspiration! "I was initially motivated to do this bc I saw that civics wasn't really taught actively, it really didn't engage with the students…lectures and PowerPoints aren't really the most exciting way to teach things” thefulcrum.us/civic-engageme… - @fulcrum_us

“I felt safe to live here, but I don't feel safe with this administration, because for me, being a #Latino, #gay, I had some concerns about the situation for my community, for myself too” thefulcrum.us/governance-leg… - #community @fulcrum_us
