Let us recall that tRump appointed the USPS Postmaster. And if tRump asks his personal postmaster to slow or stop mailed voter ballots, don't we think the postmaster will obey tRump? tRump destroys our democracy any way he can.

Now that we are spending money and blood on yet another war based on constantly shifting pretexts, "journalists should double down on their commitment to finding out what the Pentagon does not want the public to know rather than parroting ‘authorized’ narratives," @seth-stern.bsky.social says.

BREAKING: A federal judge ruled that the Trump administration's restrictions on journalists at the Pentagon are unconstitutional. The government doesn't get to decide what news the public has access to.

An instantly ICONIC sequence in St. Louis to send it to overtime between Santa Clara and Kentucky. Nothing beats this tournament. NOTHING.

Sadly, I am starting to think Hobbes had a point in regard to the nasty, brutish default setting of humanity. Exhibit A: Trump, Trumpism, and Trump Voters.

Since this is messaging for bigoted Fox News viewers, they will get around to "the Jews" after the inevitable blow-up that will happen between Israel's clever mob boss and the USA's idiotic mob boss. Expect the tried and true tradition of blaming so-called "liberals" to be enacted, too. #StupidMAGA

The secret goal was to knock the Epstein files off the front pages. Done and done. Now, keep it going for so long as Trump is under scrutiny. That's the plan. It just can't be stated as official policy. For official war goals, just do some focus groups to decide what to say each week. The scam #Iran

Ask Them: #MAGA will think Trump's crass comment about Pearl Harbor was brilliant. I don't know how this can be fixed while the kind of people who aren't embarrassed and appalled are still allowed to vote. #TooStupidToVote

Sweden’s V-Dem Institute warns that the US is no longer a liberal democracy. And autocracy is creeping across Europe too www.theguardian.com/world/commen... V-Dem a "...core group of a dozen researchers in Gothenburg [that] works with 4,200 researchers in 180 countries"

🚨 More reporting; no paywall. This is really good news, folks. "The decision Monday halts an order by Kennedy...to end broad recommendations for all children to be vaccinated against flu, rotavirus, hepatitis A, hepatitis B, some forms of meningitis, and RSV." www.medpagetoday.com/pediatrics/v...

🚨🚨The White House is pissed off about this ad so you know what to do, share it everywhere! ICE is disappearing people just because of the color of their skin! No Warrant! No Due Process! This is not who we are as Americans! #MAGAKidnappers want an all white America, fuck that‼️

Trump has threatened to invade one NATO member🇬🇱, colonize another🇨🇦 and now he’s started a war unilaterally and expects NATO to clean up his deadly, catastrophic mess. No human in history has be so lacking in the capacity for shame or embarrassment.

Homer describes MAGA's #antichrist approved theology: "...What I see is a campaign to make cruelty theologically and politically respectable. What they’re really attacking is the democratizing impulse that postwar #empathy discourse embodied..." medium.com/p/the-anti-e...

I don't know how #America can function properly when one out of three voters isn't cognitively qualified or emotionally mature enough to make adult-level decisions that affect other people. They are the root cause. Unfortunately, there is no fix that allows these naughty children a say in government

This was always going to happen: Trump, and the Supreme Court, turned DOJ into an extension of the president's will. Now, judges trust DOJ about as far as they can throw it. The immunity decision and unitary executive theory breed corruption and ineffectiveness. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

"'I wanted to thank Mr. Lauro for admitting the emperor has no clothes—the rule of law is dead because the people in this room and the Department of Justice pissed off President Trump,' … said @mitchellepner.bsky.social, a former federal prosecutor …. "Attendees in the conference ballroom clapped."

#2ndAmendment acknowledges that self-defense against illegal attacks is an inalienable right, and the defense of the innocent from criminal bodily harm is a civic and moral duty. However, it requires learning skills, strategic planning, and practice to be effective. see> forward.com/fast-forward...

An appeals court has ruled an elementary school violated the First Amendment in a case involving the speech rights of 1st graders. Great piece on students' speech rights by @brieannafrank.bsky.social @USATODAY.com www.usatoday.com/story/news/n...

South Burlington residents formed a human tunnel to rescue a three-year-old from an ICE raid without a warrant.

Our rights aren't up to ICE agents to decide.

The stench of the rotting body politic is impossible to ignore, but MAGA pretends that it's the smell of victory.

Republican administration pardons another fraudster ... #GriftersLiarsANDThieves #UNequaljustice

Former Republican House Speaker John Diehl received about $380,000 in federal loans for his law firm between 2020 and 2022 through a program intended to help cover operating expenses for businesses affected by the coronavirus pandemic.

This isn't #justice because it isn't equal. There are at least six de facto tiers of legal standards: 1) White Upper Middle-class People, 2) Government Officials, 3) Multi-millionaires, 4) Billionaires, 5) Very Famous People, and 6) The remainder, who face higher scrutiny and harsher penalties.

This. He knows it's game over when it comes to the Epstein files if we take back Congress. This is his last desperate play.

This #WinslowHomer painting captures what it feels like for a decent, responsible adult trying to push through life in the United States during the #Trump regime's reign of stupidity and terror. Keep going. Survive. Help others survive. Rebuild when it's finally over.

NEW: Trump says he will not sign any other bills until Republicans pass the SAVE America Act — escalating his push to force the voter suppression measure through the Senate. He also repeated demands to include a mail voting ban and anti-trans provisions.

#SHTF preparation can mean being ready to actively work to resolve the overall problem rather than merely survive it. A hypothetical example would be foreseeing an unlawful, rogue crime syndicate taking over your government. Here, it would be the duty of free citizens to prepare to force restoration

The so-called Save America Act is the burning match the fuse has been longing for. Will the fuse be lit? What will the fuse set off? The inevitable #SHTF scenario is only a matter of time. If not, this will be something else, and soon. Preparation, with determination, is my word to the prudent. #law
