The self-described "Goon Squad" was a criminal gang of Mississippi deputies who tortured, abused, shot and sodomized poor citizens, falsely accusing them of crimes. Brett McAlpin, Christian Dedmon and Hunter Elward. Bottom row: Jeffrey Middleton, Joshua Hartfield and Daniel Opdyke.

Imagine the arrogance of coming to another country as an immigrant, becoming a citizen, and then having the audacity to publicly say you're ready to destroy their constitution. He should have lost his citizenship awhile ago.

Pope Leo XIV just went viral belting out “L.O.V.E” with Michael Bublé at the Vatican’s Concert with the Poor, a Christmas event where the front rows are filled with homeless and low-income guests. Michael Bublé called it “the greatest night” of his career. The full story is below.

I am not live posting the whole argument here because I want to listen closely to Trump v. Slaughter. But the solicitor general for Trump just said the point here in killing the independence of agencies like the FTC is that executive branch officers must “fear and obey” the president. Wow. #SCOTUS

The practical effect of overturning Humphrey’s will be that Republican presidents can stack the formerly independent agencies with their copartisans and SCOTUS will be cool with everything they do but when a Dem POTUS does the same Roberts et al will declare all those agencies’ actions unlawful.

The notion that independent means unaccountable also reflects fundamentalist christian thinking. They can’t imagine a relationship where, say, a husband and wife are independent people who also are accountable to each other.

right! or that laws can't be changed ! That congress and hte president can't work together to make alterations - that only the court can speak for the people.

hey a fun thing is that if congress is delegating authority to an independent agency then by definition that agency is not "unaccountable." it is still accountable to congress. and it is interesting (read: extremely frustrating) to me that these people just write congress out of existence here.

the whole structure of this argument — independent agencies are politically unaccountable therefore the president must have removal power — treats congress as if it were a total nullity, or as if only the president truly represents the public.

Justice Jackson to Solicitor General Sauer (just now, in Trump v. Slaughter arguments):

Both Trump and Lindbergh’s grandfathers fled their homelands, a step ahead of law enforcement, a factual inconvenience that their grandsons never mentioned in their campaigns against others fleeing similar dire circumstances. Read: www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Garrett Berna, LHMC, has been recorded conducting a great deal of the usual Patriot Front bullshit throughout Worcester County MA with other Patriot Front members.

I sincerely hope that Berna is a professional, that his neo-fascist organizing and counseling practice do not overlap. If, however, you are personally familiar with his work and have bad news for me, I STRENUOUSLY recommend filing a complaint with the MA Bureau of Health Professions Licensure.

I will not hesitate to point out that Garrett Berna, LHMC, appears to have joined Patriot Front AFTER members assaulted a local black musician in 2022, and that Berna remains a member while a $2.75mil judgement hangs over Patriot Front for said crime.

I allege that Garrett Michael Berna, a licensed mental health counselor out of West Brookfield MA & practicing in Newton MA (lic. #LMHC10304), is dead certainly a member of Patriot Front and the New England Active Club. He's likely been active with both organizations since April 2024, if not before.

This must be the most outrageous example of Farage's racist bullying. A 17-year-old Farage bullying a 9-year-old lad – NINE – for being black, and even waiting at the school gate to heap more abuse on the little lad. What an absolute f***ing scumbag. Deeply shocking, even by 1970s standards.

By the way, at least half the time someone proposes a ban on dual citizenship in the US or UK, if you scratch the surface it’s antisemitism

We need to talk about the massive loophole that the Supreme Court just carved into election law over the shadow docket—giving states a free pass to enact patently unconstitutional voting rules within nearly *one year* of an election. A stunning new limit on judicial review. slate.com/news-and-pol...

The Supreme Court's conservative justices are the most powerful Republican political strategists in the country

In South Minneapolis, Minnesota, nearly two dozen neighbors confronted and surrounded ICE goons after rapid-response alerts were issued. The goons were questioning an East African man when the situation escalated, and they eventually left the area without making any arrests.

No. Not as bad as Bannon but you’re not talking to good people. If he wants more civility he should denounce the party of domestic terrorism that he represents. I’m not listening to this interview. Just rethinking my monthly NPR donation. You can not both sides autocracy and fascism Steve.

Thanks for this. You are responding to a quote from a Republican.

BREAKING on MS NOW:   Brian Cole Jr., the suspect accused of being the Jan. 6 pipe bomber, confessed to agents that he planted the bombs and has indicated he supported President Trump, according to two people familiar with his interview.

WaPo is reporting that Bradley told lawmakers that Hegseth DID give a kill order.

The Trump Administration is once again stealing directly from the Nazi playbook. Just substitute Jews for migrants. Trump (along with Bannon & Miller) has been pushing this “migrant crime” hysteria since his 5th day in office. See this story from March 2017: www.thewrap.com/der-sturmer-...

Voted yes on RFK Jr when he could have voted no. Continues to hedge, when he could act.

Next week the Supreme Court will hear another engineered case with fake plaintiffs, which presents another opportunity for the GOP justices to blow a hole through what remains of our campaign finance laws—this time, by turning political parties into a conduit for bribes. slate.com/news-and-pol...
