We really need nationwide recall provisions for electeds who gained their seats through absolute fraud.

I don't think it's going too far to call out the entire Federalist Society project here. No one should be fooled anymore about the whole "we don't take a position" BS. Look at leadership—they are uniformly reactionary conservatives.

Here's a thought: how about we just get rid of it. We could even think about coming up with a concise yet catchy slogan for it.

What's happening in Minnesota is one reason the Reconstruction Amendments banned insurrectionists from holding office. Unfortunately, the originalists on the Supreme Court interpreted the plain language of the amendment to mean its opposite.

AOC: "An ICE officer had violently pushed a woman to the ground and he had come over to help get her up and that is what precipitated this incident that very quickly led to an execution in the streets. What we are seeing here is a momentous pivotal moment for the United States."

The way the forces of media are aligned, as well as the constitutional method for amendment there is no way anything liberals want would get through. Hell, we can't even pass an amendment stating that *women have equal rights*.

Deleted a couple of posts as too speculative regarding the killing today in Mpls

It says something that the two people ICE has managed to kill in broad daylight are named 'Good' and 'Pretti'. (And as I say this, I don't mean to take away anything from the many people who have 'died' in ICE custody during the past year.)

I do not understand why the Democrat establishment is not calling for national mobilization. Everything the government is doing is unpopular (poll-tested), Americans want to fight for their rights, and for their neighbors, and for NATO, all of it. Democrat leaders are failing and I don't understand

Showing cross-racial solidarity is a potential death sentence. There are few things white supremacists hate more.

District judges of all backgrounds (Dubya appointee) continuing to hold the line on the rule of law, make appropriate discernments based on facts and law, and proceed accordingly.

Waiting for the facts to come out and have no idea whether the victim was carrying a weapon or trying to unholster one, but never, ever trust a statement coming from this administration.

Yes, it is.

A measure of how low the Washington Post has sunk.

The initiative to develop a significant number of primary candidates against establishment Dems should be further along than it is. One reason for this is the amount of blowback to this line of thinking from Dems who see no problem with the current direction of the party.

Bad people doing bad things again today. Wait for reports. Don't escalate and play into the narrative ICE wants. Channel motivation constructively.

Reveal has done great coverage on this issue. You can also listen to their episode on the selective and opportunistic radicalization of Riley Gaines here: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/w...

Despite publicly stating otherwise, the Trump admin is telling the courts that Kavanaugh Stops are a vital tool in their toolbox.

Why do I post about the Constitution and the rule of law? Not because I think these things are self-enforcing! But because it is our duty to live up to them. And one goal of the Trumpist movement is to make such bold assertions of power that we are disoriented and forget our rights and liberties.

This is a good idea other states can use

Four-time Grammy Award nominee Jesse Welles performs his song "Join Ice." Bob Dylan once said a single folk singer could defeat an entire army. Ladies and gentlemen, I think we have our man.

"The movie nobody asked for The story nobody wanted The grift nobody approved of" Jeff Bezos' desperate attempt to bribe Trump now torturing us all in:

Judges continuing to rule against the Trump administration. The judicial wall gaining strength as the Trump trend of losing in the (lower) courts gains steam.

“In the interest of greater strategic independence from the US, the Bundesbank would therefore be well advised to consider repatriating the gold.” www.theguardian.com/world/2026/j...

Todd Blanche is some fucking piece of work

You understand how that makes it worse, right Greg?

Colin Allred ran from trans issues in 2024. Lost by 8 points. James Talarico is doing the opposite—reframing Republican attacks instead of accepting their terms. Early polling says it's working. New post on what changed. aridrennen.substack.com/p/democrats-...

It would be really nice if John Roberts actually understood TACO. slate.trib.al/YFnGefI

Whether Wurman was a respected scholar in his area of expertise prior to now I can't say (though I suspect he was). Regardless, something has clearly changed, and he's abandoned his profession to become a partisan operative. The quality of his work and refusal to engage honestly with criticism—

If and when the time comes where we can investigate these deportations as the crimes they are, I will sign up for that job. I don't need to know a salary, just where and how to sign up.

Two weeks ago Trump warned Iran that if they harmed protesters the US military was “locked and loaded” and would come to their rescue to save them. Thousands were killed, Trump did nothing. Now this.

Shame on all those university administrators, particularly at the most privileged institutions, who barely needed any pressure to shut down their (already weak) DEI measures.

The best use of this is in the court of public opinion. Remind people every day that this administration lies.

Good article on a topic that deserves more coverage. No mistake though - there is simply no feasible way to mass deport 100 million people—or even 10 million. If we assume (and there is no reason not to) that the Trump admin will follow through on its goals, the implications are terrible.

They are all of them deeply damaged people. The administration attracts them. The distract from the pain of their own psychological wounds, they have built an edifice designed to harm others. If it ever once mattered *who* they harmed, it doesn't anymore. Anything or anyone to help them forget.

Yes you too will be able to vacation in the place where Palestinian families—women and children—were killed indiscriminately. Bon voyage!

The only people who should feel ashamed about the historical fact of slavery in this country are those who want to bring it back.

Weird framing. How about: "A federal judge has rejected claims by a conservative group that Northwestern University's law school discriminates against white men in faculty hiring"?

The notion of charging a black journalist under the KKK Act because he covered a pro-immigrant protest at a white Christian nationalist church is just so cartoonishly goddamned sinister. It also won't go anywhere. But they're absolutely relishing it. www.yahoo.com/news/article...

Threatening to prosecute a Black man for KKK Act violations is the definition of sadistic evil. Literal clown show malevolence. People this sick can't help but overplay their hand. Harmeet is a badly damaged person.

Fitting for a guy who struggles to pass as human

I'll say yet again: Trump & his party do something virtually every day that constitutes a more violent & alarming suppression of speech than anything that happened during the entire alleged tyranny of woke. Every day. Yet the entire Free Spech army has just vanished into mist.

I would just like to hear Jack Smith and Dems say that they were following procedures pursuant to a criminal invedtigation, and if that turned up phone toll records of people in Congress, then that was as it *should* be. Chip Roy more concerned about phone records than the actual insurrection

What they should be reading from the NYT and WaPo every day, and hearing about on cable news.

WTF happened to the Epstein files? Full release was required December 19 by federal law. Today, 99% are still undisclosed. Initially, there were rolling releases. Now, nothing in weeks. REMEMBER: The DOJ said the review of these documents was complete in JULY.

We used to mark today with celebration — today, we must mark it with action. Since Roe v. Wade was overturned, Illinois has safeguarded and expanded existing protections for medical professionals, as well as made contraception and the abortion pill more accessible.

Another fantastic Biden appointee to the bench.

New: Another judge has rejected a DOJ subpoena served on a hospital providing gender-affirming care, calling it a "pretext" to end the practice. "The Government seeks to fulfill its policy agenda through compliance born of fear," Judge Julie Rubin in Maryland wrote. www.reuters.com/legal/govern...
