“From the depths” by William Balfour-Ker. A lavish party of the wealth is interrupted by an upraised fist breaking through their dance floor; underneath we can see the entire party venue is built on the shoulders of the marginalized and lower classes.

My first introduction to Julia Whelan. Amazing!!!

The Chaos Agent, a Gray Man novel by Mark Greaney. It is the 13th of the series. If you like Tom Clancy-esque, you will like the series. A thriller with a bad guy as the good guy (he’s a professional assassin but only for the right causes). They are fun reads

Charlie Kirk. What a weird guy. 🤣🤣

Jeff Bezos of Amazon had a 50 million dollar wedding in Venice surrounded by billionaires, celebs, and the elite but the true threat to American workers and democracy is Zohran Mamdani and AOC, who want affordable housing, health care, and higher wages.

Imagine starting a car that hadn't run in 21 years, that's 15 billion miles away in interstellar space. That's what the NASA team just did with Voyager's thrusters. People are amazing. jpl.nasa.gov/news/nasas-v...

Blackwell to DHS official Tricia McLaughlin: "You suggest I am the one here who is focused on skin color, when the president has let in Afrikaners specifically, and I'm asking, how many of those who are actually facing genocide from Sudan and the Congo are being let in under some expedited path?"

So the issue Kagan flagged here is: What if a case never gets to the Supreme Court? What if all the lower courts are in agreement that the Trump administration is wrong and rule against his executive order? Well, if Sauer’s scheme prevails, the Justice Department could simply decline to appeal any of those decisions to the Supreme Court. Then the Justice Department could turn around and say: “Well, we don’t have to respect the decisions by these lower courts, except with regard to the named plaintiffs.” And everybody who’s not a part of the litigation gets screwed. If you aren’t a plaintiff, the government can take away birthright citizenship for your kids, deny them benefits, and deport them. And there’s nothing you can do except hire your own lawyer and slog your way to a new injunction that applies to you. As a practical matter, hundreds of thousands of people are not going to have the resources to do that.

The Trump administration has settled on One Weird Trick to avoid judicial review: Kill nationwide injunctions, refuse to respect lower court rulings, and keep cases away from the Supreme Court indefinitely.

Oddly, it was Kagan and BARRETT who hammered this yesterday. slate.com/news-and-pol...

500K Mexican-Americans served in the U.S. armed forces in WWII, as did millions of 1st and 2nd-gen immigrants, and 109K noncitizens.

Mexican immigrant Macario Garcia won the Medal of Honor in Normandy. When he returned to the US, he was was arrested for trying to eat at a segregated restaurant.

Reminder: the Taylor Swift and Bruce Springsteen posts are just to distract from the Qatari "gift" or the fact that he's trying to rip Medicare and Medicaid from millions of Americans right now.

Americans Wish Trump Happy Motherfucker's Day

Have you seen current pictures of his right ear? Nary a scratch that could possibly show where all that ketchup, er, blood came from

I grew up believing that we had learned the lessons of the German poem and Martin Luther King Jr's speeches. We would all speak out if we saw democracy threatened and the rule of law under attack.

I will always speak out against wrong. I will always stand up for democracy. I will not back down.

If as President you answer “I don’t know” when asked if you’ll follow the Constitution, you have violated your oath of office and should be removed.
