Where has this ludicrous ECHR "debate" even come from. I've never once met an ordinary member of the public who's said to me, "Do you know what? We REALLY need to leave the ECHR." It's just a new right wing talking point because every other shit idea they've foisted on us has run out of steam.

The world needs to move AWAY from the idea of presidents; that is what has enabled figurehead leaders to become dictators. Instead, we need to think in terms of several, very qualified people in a committee form which is answerable to The People. That is, we need a rethink of the SYSTEM itself.

Judge Blocks Flights Sending Hundreds of Children Back To Guatemala โIt is a dark & dangerous moment for this country when (Trump) chooses to target orphaned 10-year-olds and deny them their basic legal right to present their case before a judgeโ www.politico.com/news/2025/08...
These two cases are really about the same thing: The Trump Administration wants to find as many ways as possible to just grab and deport people without any checks, due process, or judges of any kind.

Those of us who depend on Walgreens especially people like me who take multiple medications NOW is the time to START planning a plan B for your medications. Here in Manhattan NY they have been shuttering stores for the last few years. My local Walgreens has been wonderful to me. This is devastating.
People will die from lack of access to healthcare due to cuts and increases to premiums, people will have permanent PTSD from witnessing the cruelty and abuse towards immigrants and the continued mass shootings.

"If we cut FEMA to the bone, or dissolve it entirely, weโre not just undoing bureaucracy. Weโre leaving millions of Americans with no backup. Weโre telling them theyโre on their own.โ How FEMA cuts will kill. Small town supervisor, and former first responder, Kevin Patrick speaks out.
I feel that way at times. It would be funny if it wasnโt tragic. I found Jackie Kennedyโs Rose Garden w diff photos than l usually see. This white bench had been at WH since 1850. BEFORE the Civil War. Trump paved area over & added MAL umbrellas. Our History is gone. Trump doesnโt like grass.

Look at this graph. The share of national income going to the richest 10 percent was lowest (and share to lower 90 percent highest) when union membership was at its highest. As unions have weakened, inequality has widened. This is why we must build back union power.
This is required reading for anyone who believes that federal judges are underworked, overpaid, and do not deserve lifetime appointments. It's reprehensible that Emil Bove will soon join their ranks, as he is not fit to be Judge Sooknanan's law clerk, let alone a federal appellate court judge.
