BREAKING: Judge Charles Breyer finds that the Trump administration violated the Posse Comitatus Act by using the military for domestic law enforcement purpose in Los Angeles. He enjoins further violations of the Posse Comitatus Act ⬇️ storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
It's gonna be the animatronic trump from the hall of presidents, isn't it?
Already imagining a time in which all the unvaccinated anti-science warriors start dying off en masse from new preventable diseases and blaming the left for letting it happen.
Now we actually have a concept for how War of the Worlds ended due to the Martians catching a virus.
I do want the next Democratic president to be kind of radical. They are going to have to be radical to fix this shit. And do what's right.
Finally.
Nine former CDC directors - from Dem & GOP admins - blast RFK Jr as "dangerous." RFK Jr focuses “on unproven ‘treatments’ while downplaying vaccines, “canceled investments in promising medical research," & "replaced experts...w/ unqualified individuals who share his dangerous & unscientific views."
It's straight up a political decision. It wasn't founded on anything but politics.
I don't like this new rule. I much preferred a presidency subject to checks and balances. But thanks to Trump and the Supreme Court, we don't have that anymore. And Democrats aren't going to get it back by acting like the adults in the room. They'll only wind up ceding more power to the arsonists.
Oh, the courts might object? The courts that the Trump administration has defied with impunity? The Supreme Court that handed Trump a huge win in his battle to unilaterally repeal the 14th Amendment? Give me a break. The norms are gone. There's one rule now: The president does whatever he wants.
Everything I've seen about Democrats' version of Project 2029 is far too modest and weak-kneed. Democrats need to look at the precedents Trump is setting (and shattering) and figure out how a progressive can maximally wield the power that this administration is concentrating in the executive branch.
Where I live, in D.C., the Trump administration just effectively repealed our gun laws by refusing to enforce restrictions on AR-15s and public carry. It's a two-way street, right? The next Democratic administration should declare a nationwide ban on assault weapons. It's an emergency, after all.
NONE of these plans are any more extreme than what Trump is currently doing with the help of the Supreme Court. If Trump can shut down the Department of Education and CFPB, President AOC can shut down ICE. If Trump can kill green energy projects, President Newsom can kill the fossil fuel industry.
Other things the next Democratic president should claim a prerogative to do unilaterally: •establish Medicare for All •forgive all student loans •legalize weed •mandate nationwide non-partisan redistricting It's an emergency! And he's the duly elected commander-in-chief! That's how this works now.
I am serious when I say that none of those actions would be more radical than what Trump is currently using his executive power to do—almost always with permission from the Supreme Court. And if the judiciary stands in the way, why not follow Judge Emil Bove's maxim and "tell courts 'fuck you'"?
The next Democratic president should declare that the National Emergencies Act and Article II of the Constitution allow him to: •admit D.C. and Puerto Rico as states •abolish ICE •grant citizenship to any immigrant •disband the 5th Circuit •expand the Supreme Court Seriously: Why the hell not?
We are being governed by a cabal of pedophiles who protect each other. They rape children.
Impound ICE's funding and redirect the money toward mass refugee resettlement. Cut off federal funding to states with draconian abortion laws and use the money to build reproductive health clinics in those states instead. End oil and gas subsidies then funnel the money to green energy projects.

Listening to an NPR report on how it will be tough for Congress to fund the government by the end of the month because the Republicans and Democrats are divided and I feel like I'm losing my mind.

within the criminal justice system that disproportionately affect people of color. In short, UCR arrest data is being used improperly to imply guilt and to spread fear against Black people. Please be mindful of this the next time a racist throws crime statistics around. You're welcome.☕️ (end)

nearly 61% of exonerees in 2023 were Black, and overall, Black people account for about 53% of all exonerations since 1989, despite representing only 13.6% of the U.S. population. This indicates a significant racial disparity in wrongful convictions, with Black (cont)

For today's 2pm LIVE broadcast, the White House is applying Vaseline to the camera lens to give a softer, more approachable side of Trump. Please do not adjust your TV sets.
My kid and a bunch of his friends spent Saturday in Chicago and had a great time. No one was murdered, that we know of.
So Trump disappears for days and nobody sees him. Then he suddenly reappears and looks like...this? Are we sure that's not somebody wearing one of those full head masks? Kidding/Not Kidding.
Look everyone, I’m sure Jake Tapper is *very* concerned about the state of Trump’s health right now. The catch is we won’t find out about that concern until the release of his next book in eighteen months.

My uncle died a few years ago after rapidly declining from dementia. He couldn’t care for himself or find his way around the 1000sqft home in which he and my aunt raised a family. He no longer made simple decisions without frustration or anger. Not hard to see, Trump is doing much worse.

the point was to highlight that non-activist citizens can be activated when the mirror breaks and they realize they have the numbers
just because we apparently need to point this out in writing: yes, there were activist movements and people demanding it being taken down forever. without understating those movements at all, the trigger for it coming down that day was a mass of average citizens misunderstanding a press conference
