worth saying that some portion of the freed slaves were themselves illegal aliens having been brought illegally into the united states by smugglers. if the birthright clause applies to them, it applies to undocumented immigrants

I cannot wait for the investigations and trials.

Let's see these fuckers crying on the stand, begging the mercy they've never showed anyone else.

Piece of shit prize.

Any crumbs of credibility tariffs ever had got lost in the memeification of the so-called “tariff shelf.” 🤡

Dec. 5, 1925: Langston Hughes at work as a waiter at the Wardman Park Hotel in Washington, D.C. At around this time he comes across the poet Vachel Lindsay at the hotel and shows him some of his own poetry, an encounter that will lead to Hughes being published.

Trump's approval rating is plummeting as Americans are furious over his mishandling of the economy.

MAGA is finally recognizing the con that they've been sold, and it's about damn time.

Children give the Fascist salute in school material from the 1930s

Dec. 5, 1925: Benito Mussolini outlines a plan to indoctrinate the country’s children in Fascism through the public schools. “In all grades,” he says, “the Italian youth shall be educated to comprehend Fascism and the noble aims which Fascism proposes to accomplish."

Pipe bomb suspect told FBI he believed 2020 election conspiracy theories The suspect has been cooperating with the FBI, according to sources, and is expected to make his first court appearance on Friday.

And there's the motive.

In Maryland, it's only been in the last decade or so that we've managed to dump our Taney statues. It would be nice to think that if there's a republic that survives, its rescuers won't cast any of Roberts to hang around, shaming us for a century or more.

If you see John Roberts in person, be sure to tell him he’s a worse Chief Justice than Roger Taney (pronounced “tawny”). That’s a nerd burn that will hit him where it counts.

He really wants to be on the Fed. 🙄

hahahahahaa

BREAKING: White House officials have released the results of Trump´s MRI.

I mean, this is an execution

I'll say this in response to SCOTUS' corrupt TX ruling: Dems in Maryland, Oregon, Illinois, Colorado, New York, and New Jersey are all stuck in the mud when it comes to mid-decade redistricting.

The time to act was yesterday. Move your asses, now.

MD, OR & IL can all immediately draw new maps via their legislatures. Do it.

CO, NY & NJ require constitutional amendments. NY & NJ can pass via legislature. CO would need a ballot initiative. Do it.

CA did it. VA is doing it. Do it. Do it now.

It's good—very good, and very important—that district courts keep issuing these 100-page rulings upholding the law. It must be incredibly dispiriting to see them overturned in a two-page, lawless, unsigned order, but please, keep them coming. They expose SCOTUS' corruption like nothing else.
