If you’ve ever taken the oath to uphold the Constitution, this is the time to live up to it.

This proposed law is a travesty of justice and is designed to prevent legal voting. It actually will take away women's voting rights 😑

Tom Homan basically admits to a quid pro quo for dropping the corruption charges against Mayor Eric Adams in exchange for enforcing Donald Trump's mass deportation plan.

"If he doesn't come through...I'll be in his office, up his butt, saying 'where the hell is the agreement we came to?'"

Vile.

SAVE Act Would Undermine Voter Registration for All Americans Congress should reject this antidemocratic and ill-conceived bill.

Some 21 million Americans don’t have ready access to a passport, birth certificate, or naturalization papers. And the SAVE Act would require these documents to register to vote.

The big takeaway here is that Reuters won this case against the AI company on grounds they violated fair useβ€”the judge found the AI company was guilty because, in using copyrighted works to generate its output, it β€œmeant to compete... by developing a market substitute.”

Huge.

Instead, we see wide-scale affronts to the rule of law itself, such as attacks on constitutionally protected birthright citizenship, the dismantling of USAID and the attempts to criminalize those who support lawful programs to eliminate bias and enhance diversity.

We have seen attempts at wholesale dismantling of departments and entities created by Congress without seeking the required congressional approval to change the law. There are efforts to dismiss employees with little regard for the law and protections they merit, and social media announcements that disparage and appear to be motivated by a desire to inflame without any stated factual basis. This is chaotic. It may appeal to a few. But it is wrong. And most Americans recognize it is wrong. It is also contrary to the rule of law.

In a blistering statement, the American Bar Association describes "attacks on constitutionally protected birthright citizenship, the dismantling of USAID and the attempts to criminalize" diversity initiatives as "wide-scale affronts to the rule of law itself."

Read about men taking over finances from women. Women will lose all their independence. Husband will make all decisions and this means voting, btw
We are now a country of White Christian Nationalist extremists with women as subservient 2nd class citizens. 53% White women voted for this

It’s not an β€œexpression” to say that Donald Trump can’t run again.

He can’t fucking run again.
He’s a lame duck.

The ICC upholds international law

The ICC upholds international law

The United States has imposed sanctions on officials of the
International Criminal Court (ICC) who are investigating cases against the US or Israel. The move will also protect Putin’s Russia and the Taliban in Afghanistan as the US attack will weaken the court’s authority and sabotage key members.
