I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

SCOTUS is trash. That is all.

Just goes to show you that cult followers will continue bowing down to their leader, no matter what he does, even raping women and young girls

As a survivor, I can't think of a more fitting metaphor than a rapist creating loud noises with planes as a survivor tries to tell her story. I mean... just wow. Nevertheless, she persisted.

None of these people do anything because they are ineffectual, power hungry fools lacking in basic human empathy. They arenโ€™t actually looking at the future. Theyโ€™re looking at now and how they can hold onto their fucking seats. I hate each and every one of them with a hot and fiery passion.

There is not enough discussion, or any, about packing the courts. Our SCOTUS is corrupt and irreparable. We need to expand the courtโ€™s numbers and get some fresh, nonpartisan judges in there, who arenโ€™t trying to push their own personal conservative agendas.

Where is my candidate talking about packing the courts? Iโ€™m ready to go vote for them. Now. The majority of the SCOTUS are trash. I donโ€™t wanna have to live with this BS for the rest of my life.

Want to boost the birth rate?
Try affordable childcare. (Will end up paying $40k for 2 years of preschool in Seattle for my youngest.) Paid family leave. Universal healthcare. Reproductive freedom. Support for working parents. Basic dignity for mothers. You know, actual solutions.

Last night was the 250th anniversary of Paul Revere's midnight ride to warn the Minutemen of approaching British troops.

I want to take a moment to share an excerpt from the Declaration of Independence's grievances against King George III.

Remind you of anyone?

Defusing Showdown With White House, Judge Requests Updates on Deported Man Clashes โ€” both inside the courtroom and over the departmentโ€™s refusal to comply with her demand for a road map to release Mr. Abrego Garcia โ€” left open the possibility of a standoff in the future.

So what happens when they decide to just, not bring him back?

A timeline of the legal wrangling and deportation flights after Trump invoked the Alien Enemies Act President Donald Trumpโ€™s invocation of an 18th-century wartime law to deport hundreds of immigrants, most of them Venezuelans, to a prison in El Salvador has led to a showdown with the judiciary.

This whole thing makes me physically ill and distraught. The cruelty, the human rights violating prison they have been sent to, and the way this fucking administration, a bunch of white privileged men are patting themselves on the back for it is just sickening. apnews.com/article/trum...

Is Schumer so clueless that he doesnโ€™t realize he is signing his own exit papers? I cannot see New Yorkers standing for more of his spineless ineffectual bullshit. I hope they are grooming his replacement as we speak. Fuck that guy.
