I want to be clear about what I'm saying here.

I'm not denying the danger.

Empathy is important right now. I'm not going to point and laugh at the MAGAs who are hurting. They're losing the same things everyone else is.
It's the brats, I mean voters, who chose to sit the election out that I'm disgusted with.

They're going to kill Libby and all your other library book reading apps, programs funded by Congress which the administration (and certainly not Elon or his teen Nazi psychopath goons) has no power to shut down.

BREAKING: We’re suing the Trump administration to block the president’s attempt to end birthright citizenship.

An executive order does not have the power to override the Constitution.

Biden says the Equal Rights Amendment is law. What happens next is unclear To come into effect, the constitutional amendment would need to be formally published or certified by the National Archivist who has declined to do so in the past. What happens now is unclear.
