I *LOVE* my Congressman! (I had already been a voter for nearly 20 years when he was born and was a voter for about 45 years before I could say that.)

These camps were engineered by Ron DeSantis the Gov of Florida. Ron was a military torturer who tortured prisoners at Guantanamo Bay. He is a sadist. So is Stephen Miller, lucrative contracts with (ICE) to track and manage undocumented immigrants. It's a giant human trafficking ring.

I'm confident that many folks on Bluesky appreciate Aaron's efforts. I could not sit through countless hours of Trump and the Republicans in order to distill their insanity down into more palatable, compact posts. We need to remain aware of them, as much as they repel us. Support Aaron if you can.

Justice Alito, the pseudo-intellectual prolapse of the Federalist Society, is vile, but Rep. Levin is simply wrong about recusal here. Federal law does not require a judge to recuse because their child works for a government agency or department … /1

I didn't even think of that, but it could very well be. I just assumed this was because his black hole of an ego took such a beating yesterday. The narcissistic collapse is when they're the most dangerous. Adding seeing one's end approaching could make it so much worse. He might do anything.

He's not planning on leaving. That's what the ballroom bunker equipped with drones is for. It's why he's calling for Thune to fire the parliamentarian who's refusing to allow the $1B for the ballroom in the reconciliation bill. It's why he's paying the insurrectionists with his slush fund.

In 1872, the Chicago Evening Post published an absolutely brutal editorial mocking people who objected to sharing public spaces with Black people. Still some dated language but a remarkable piece. “Hire a carriage and you can sit all alone by your own sweet self for $2 an hour.”

This is such a great way to illustrate why Calhoun and other spokesmen of the slave-owning class hammered white supremacy into the minds of the white population. We have been paying this tax in so many ways ever since.

The John Roberts Court has done more to reduce the political power of poor people and Black people while enlarging the voting rights of rich people and corporations than has any court since Roger Taney was Chief Justice in the 1800s. I opposed his nomination in 2005, and I stand by that.
