Targeting more than half the population of the US for a political reason is treason. No elected official or a member of his staff has the right to punish the American people for who they vote for. Withholding money for states that voted for Harris is tyranny and must be stopped now.

I have been unfriended due to my interpretation that the fourth amendment applies to all people. Good lord, no idea my old friend was such a maga snowflake. I wish her good health and enlightenment.

Arguing with a Facebook friend that the fourth amendment says “people “ not “citizens “. She told me I was using “woke speech “. I had no idea our founding fathers were woke.

To explain:

At the start of his opinion, Judge Young includes an anonymous note received by his chambers, which reads “Trump has pardons and tanks..what do you have?”

Responding to the note, Young says we have our “magnificent Constitution” and “here’s how that works out in a specific case —“

They just tear-gassed us. They tried to run us over in a van holding a peaceful protester. They shot us with pepper balls. They dragged another protester into the facility.

A free and democratic society cannot silence comedians because the President doesn’t like what they say.

This is an attack on free speech and cannot be allowed to stand.

All elected officials need to speak up and push back on this undemocratic act.

This is awful. I have not heard this anywhere. Can you link to more information.

I wasn’t around in the civil rights era, but the violence and rhetoric seems to rhyme with that period in time.

Next time someone on the right claims all the political violence in this country is coming from the left, not the right, do please show them this.

You're welcome

Thankful the 2nd threat in less than a month was another hoax; fight or flight response & fear for my colleagues & students is the same as if it were real. You remember those times when the threat was real & people died. Relief spills over you that no one was injured, but there is emotional trauma.

Don't feel like doing a repost that puts the murder video on the timeline yet again but do feel like repeating the point that the president just straight-up assassinated 11 people for supposedly doing something that wouldn't be a death-penalty crime if they were caught and convicted

I just compare to the institution’s standards/criteria.

I also hate it when they ask me if their candidate would get tenure based on my institution’s standards. Criteria, while having similar sections for review, can be quite different in what an excellent candidate looks like.
