Citizens United decision by SCOTUS broke our elections Corporations are NOT people and campaign donations are NOT an expression of first amendment rights The predictable outcome of that decision is Super PACs funneling millions into campaigns It doesn't have to be like this. Volunteer for Dems

This is our culture. Epstein isn't a freak exception, his elite friends aren't exceptions. He, and they, are a mirror. That's all.

These scales seem too unbalanced in favour of whining leftists and annoying, complaining women. What if we just… put our thumbs on this scale a bit, and… there. Much better and fairer, wouldn’t you agree?

Not just a billionaire class. It's pretty clear that this went deep into a number of other elite subclasses, and that it needed relatively little direct coordination, precisely because they already commonly understood that ALL OF THEM were in danger from #MeToo.

#GVerse #FuckICE stopped a vehicle in St.Cloud, Minnesota & detained the father & took a small child probably less than a year old wearing pink! They were separated in different vehicles also! Why weren’t they kept together this is disturbing & where is the child going!

One of the many many many many things that could conceivably happen under a Democratic administration that we trade for the filibuster

Americans, who don't know how immigration enforcement works, think that its basically the same for immigrants as citizens, and the more DHS picks up totally innocent Americans and renditions them to fucking Guinea without a warrant the more that contradiction will be heightened

To put this in no uncertain terms: if you are gassed enough without protection you may lose your ability to bear children entirely.

Since a lot of the coverage is omitting this detail: The Kennedy Center HAD a $250 million renovation and expansion just a few years ago, in 2019.

Historian here literally and symbolically Trump is hell bent on destroying the American republic, its constitution, and founding principles on its 250th. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

the Epstein files make it very clear why the MeToo backlash was so extreme and why so much of elite society preferred Donald Trump ruling us like a king to the barest hint of accountability

Diease is always rampant in concentration camps. It is what killed Anne Frank.

You cannot end genocide when you don’t acknowledge its existence. Russian genocide of Ukrainians exists. We have a moral and legal duty to stop genocide. We have a moral and legal duty to stop Russia. thestartingpoint.net/rants/663/ 13/13

People must stop sweeping the FACT of Russian genocide of Ukrainians under the rug. It is real. Every single legal test is met. 11/13

Russia's slow battlefield gains are evidence of Ukrainian strength and that the war is truly winnable. But it is NOT why RU attacks ALL of Ukraine. The attacks on Ukrainian civilians & infrastructure are not a consequence of battlefield failure, but part of genocide policy. 7/13

The argument that "since Putin cannot win on the battlefield, he is turning his attacks on civilians," is WRONG. Wrong, wrong, wrong. There is NO point in the last FOUR YEARS where Russia has NOT been attacking civilians and infrastructure. 1/13

READ. THIS. ORDER. “Civics lesson to the government: Administrative warrants issued by the executive branch to itself do not pass probable cause muster. That is called the fox guarding the henhouse. The Constitution requires an independent judicial officer.”

8/ Maryland joining the Resistance with its Baltimore oriole

In Printz v. United States, #SCOTUS held that the Constitution bars the federal government from forcing or otherwise compelling local or state governments to enforce federal law. The liberal squish who wrote the majority opinion in that case? Justice Antonin Scalia: tile.loc.gov/storage-serv...

Reminder that, as of the latest reports, Liam Ramos is still in prison in Texas - now for 5 days. His parents are legal asylum seekers with no criminal record.

As a matter of practical reality, the idea that the minute Trump invokes the Insurrection Act all resistance is futile, Trump has won, Game Over is nonsense. That’s just regime propaganda. Let us not perpetuate it. Make them earn every inch of creeping authoritarianism.

On top of all of this is a failure to consider that the very actions taken to push down this road alienate key supporters and push other groups off of the sidelines into the opposing anti-MAGA column. It is not a good plan.

damnit damnit that's misinformation. THIS is Curtis Evans. It's hard to keep the patriots being gassed by fascists straight

photographer is Jeff Wheeler at the Star Tribune. guy with the flag is Curtis Evans, a Marine veteran.

Do you honestly think people in the civil rights movement and other nonviolent movements faced no violence themselves? They practiced nonviolence because it works, because the oppressor wants a shooting war, which is the war it will win

Nonviolence is, in fact, working. This administration is weaker than it was a year ago. More and more of the public is becoming galvanized against it; its agents are being impeded.

american history has been a push and pull between these forces and it is neither unprecedented that the state would be captured by those that want to impose a racial hierarchy at the barrel of a gun and it would not be unprecedented for us to turn the guns around on them

/12 The Trump administration is a dishonest and despicable outlier for fabricating AI pictures of a defendant crying during a perp walk to humiliate her. The Trump Administration is as American as cherry pie to use pictures of a perp walk to humiliate a defendant and Other her.

Thesis: ICE is un-American and the Minneapolis protestors are real Americans. Antithesis: Ackshually ICE is operating in a long American tradition of racist terror. Synthesis: Minneapolis is now the epicenter of a clash between two distinct but historically grounded American political traditions.

Don't forget the Supreme Court's role facilitating ICE's brutality and racism in Minneapolis. SCOTUS lifted an injunction that limited racial profiling in immigration enforcement on Sept. 8. The federal assault on Chicago began the next day. Then came the Twin Cities. SCOTUS greenlit these horrors.

"The rule of law is not self-executing." This, from Smith's testimony, is the central reason this hearing and his efforts are so important. It's a reminder that the law is not being executed faithfully or consistently at the moment.

🚨HOLY CRAP. An ICE whistleblower just revealed a secret memo authorizing ICE officers to break into homes without a judicial warrant, which DHS's own legal training materials say is unconstitutional! ICE then hid the memo from the public, passing it along by word of mouth and private conversation.

Note: no one is saying that Trump may have used the mortgage fraud charge as a mere pretext for firing her. But everyone is thinking that.

I flew down to south Texas today to do my job - investigate why people are dying in ICE detention centers. I was just illegally denied entry to Dilley Detention Center. Because they have something to hide.

No one safe from #ICE This is a nightmare! What needs to happen at this point to end this⁉️

Ask not what your country can do to you. Ask what you can do to your country.

Two days ago it was Elissa Slotkin. Last week it was Jerome Powell. Before that, Mark Kelly. Weaponizing the justice system against your opponents is an authoritarian tactic. The only person not being investigated for the shooting of Renee Good is the federal agent who shot her.

NEW ICE FACILITIES LEAKED

While the pasty incels who work the federal agencies continue to churn out feeble, bloodless AI pastiches of Axis propaganda, here’s how a living breathing artist powerfully invokes design history. This is by illustrator Emily K in South Philly, a free poster-sized download on her website: →

It is possible that within our lifetimes population growth will stall even in developing countries. This is, however, fine. It is not the business of states how many people exist.
