I’m sure it was just Virginia and … oh, wait:

WaPo editorial board when TX imposes a legislative gerrymander: don't freak out guys! Not a threat to democracy!

When VA responds to TX with *referendum* on their own gerrymander: brass-knuckled hypocrisy, anti-democratic gamesmanship.

There is hypocrisy here, all right, but not from VA.

THIS! What were all these lawmakers and lawyers and law enforcement doing all this time? Busy being complicit?

The Epstein files read like decades of institutional failures and human rights violations.
Spiritual and psychological war.

Countdown to no lasting consequences once the dust settles. 3..2...1...

Republicans win also when liberal justices protect their rights. They just don't see it that way

In sum, the government’s proposed reading of the statute would mean that, for purposes of immigration detention, the border is now everywhere. That is not the law Congress passed, and if it had, it would have spoken much more clearly. I dissent.

Douglass makes it plain in dissent. But our court system is shit now.

"But, but, but they are only detaining violent criminals." /s
So people following the legal process are allowed to be put in a concentration camp. Ok
Cool.

fucking swine

Do it! Yes.

Let me guess, they'll pay the award using stolen worker tips.

NOW, he wants Dulles and another airport to change it's name to.

I have no doubt he’ll tear it down like the East Wing of the White House. He is a Chaos Tornado. He understands nothing but destruction. Mark my words.

And a pathetic attempt to hide how unpopular he is.

I'm still pissed that oligarchs through the decades have designed our society to make a general strike really hard (healthcare tied to job, low wages, decreased education, expensive childcare, reduction of social services, etc.)

“If you take away our democratic stability, we will take away the economic stability.”

Maybe they don't want to be on a stage with a man who has song lyrics about raping little girls.

And what's even MORE gross is that people who could DO SOMETHING about it have done almost NOTHING for decades. Sweetheart deals notwithstanding.

Sigh

"What you did was racist."

"Well ... you're fat."

Kind of proves the level of people we're dealing with.

This podcast rocks.

I rely on your podcasts to keep me sane. Thank you for your high-quality work and amazing sound quality! I am so grateful you do this for free with no ads! It's so relaxing w/o loud and sudden interruption. But you do deserve compensation, so I feel bad for you. Well, we love you, if that counts!

Viva the Patriarchy, I guess. Women aren't important; only the abuse of women is important if it can be used to politically derail someone. I'm pissed.

Is it just me, or do republican men ( and some democratic men) not really care about what Epstein and his smarmy international cabal did to women? It's like they can relate to him or something. MAGA only seemed to care about it when they thought the scandal would bring down all democrats.
