Since Trump entered politics, hate crimes upon LGBTQIA have more than doubled.

You can be held personally responsible for breaking the law. Trump may get off Scot free but you sure won’t.

FEDERAL AGENTS TAKE NOTE… It’s not just Chicago standing strong. Other blue cities and governors are ready to unite against Trump’s federal invasion. I’m not an attorney, but this point seems huge: if federal agents break state or city laws, they can prosecuted. And Trump cannot pardon them.

So I imagine that folks who insisted it wasn’t ethnic cleansing, land theft, forced removal are lined up to apologize for insisting that this was just about defeating Hamas fighters and the return of the hostages.

No, he destroyed his reputation all on his own. Like Merrick Garland, James Comey, and, hell, Neville Chamberlain a privileged twit. IDK what blinds these people to the monsters. Whiteness? Wealth? Or maybe he knew what Trump was, which is worse. Either way, fuck that guy.

Case in point really. The muellers and garlands of the world would have been the ones to go to during a normal functioning democracy. And chamberlain? Don’t get me started. Remember when king Eddie was a literal Nazi? What if he hadn’t abdicated? Hoo boy.

Can the media STOP referring to Jeffrey Epstein as a “financier”? The money he made came from SEX TRAFFICKING MINORS, RAPING CHILDREN, and BLACKMAIL. He was NOT a financier. I’ve seen at least five stories from three outlets refer to him this way in the past week. This is the latest from the Times:

This is the second judge in a week that has brought up the fact that the government can't be trusted with clear instructions - likely because the government ignored Judge Boasberg's order to turn the planes around last March saying "verbal orders from judges don't count."
