Still waiting for @maddow.msnbc.com to speak about Matt Dowd….

Still no comment on your friend Matt Dowd? Disappointing.

Hey @msnbc.com, did he lie? Everything he said was true. He wasn’t being insensitive or inappropriate. He was speaking to the reality that we live in. Shame on you.

I’m so glad I have therapy this afternoon (but also…poor therapists in this season of America).

tfw you've just stripped healthcare from 17 million Americans and ensured the closure of rural hospitals

There are only three political positions in America today

1) I like the fascism

2) I'll acquiesce to the fascism (reasons for this one vary: cowardice, access, denial, misguidedly thinking that acquiescence is savvy, etc)

3) I oppose the fascism

The rest is details

"The rule of law is not a given in this Nation, nor any other. It is a precept of our democracy that will endure only if those brave enough in every branch fight for its survival. Today, the Court abdicates its vital role in that effort." β€”Justice Sotomayor

JUST HAPPENED: West: β€œYou can’t violate another country’s sovereignty.”

Jennings: β€œWhy? We do it all the time. Who’s going to stop us?”

He admitted America breaks the law constantlyβ€”and then dared the world to do something about it. That’s not journalism. That’s fascism on live TV.

is anyone reasonably prominent talking about the fact that the Israeli attack on Iran was entirely because they were finally losing support from Western leaders for their genocide?

I’m embarrassed and ashamed to be a white person most days. I try my best to use my privilege for good.

I started watching it and about ten minutes in got the alert that we bombed Iran. I guess I’ll finish it tomorrow?

Watching the Ohio State documentary on HBO. Clearly I’ll finish it later.

But nooo…law enforcement never escalates anything. Props to Matt Gutman for at least attempting to give them the benefit of the doubt (tired, hot, etc.).

The most important words of our Constitution are the first three: We the People. We have no Kings here, no monarchs, no slaves and no subjects.

Dear Members of the Military,

You can conscientiously object to his war on America.

Active U.S. troops deployed in:

β€’ Iraq - 2500
β€’ Syria - 1,500
β€’ Los Angeles - 4,800

Think about that for a minute...

ABC News fired reporter Terry Moran for criticizing Stephen Miller and Donald Trump, proving once again that corporate media is rudderless, cowardly and utterly complicit in enabling fascism.

BREAKING: Federal agents in plain clothes and unmarked cars tried to snatch 1st graders from LA elementary schoolsβ€”told staff they had β€œparental consent.”

They lied. When pressed, they HID THEIR IDS. DHS admits they sent them. This wasn’t a welfare check. It was a test run for a police state.

The Los Angeles Police Department has stated that demonstrations in the city have remained peaceful. Let that sink in.
