ICE are fucking traitors to this country and are committing crimes indiscriminately!

To ICE: ‘When the rapist felon is out of office you will be hunted and you will pay for your crimes!’

Good morning, friends. It’s okay to acknowledge you’re overwhelmed. It’s actually liberating. You don’t have to put on a brave face and pretend you’re okay. Embrace the support and help of others.

Colleges are not the only path to success. So many people thrive without them.

Still, this rapid decline in people's regard for colleges may reflect political discourse's coarsening and the rise of anti-intellectualism.

As though we weren't sufficiently disgusted by Hegseth before the Generals, this puts some icing on the pile. He doesn't know how many Generals he's fired, (8) or why he fired them. Leader of the armed services of the greatest nation in the world.

KFF Donate Q What Are the Origins of the Comstock Act? In 1873 - at the behest of anti-vice crusader, Anthony Comstock - Congress enacted a law banning the interstate mailing and receiving of "obscene, lewd, or lascivious" writings, or "any article or thing designed or intended for the prevention of conception or procuring an abortion." In 1909, Congress enacted a similar law banning the use of express company or common carrier (such as FedEx or UPS) to mail "any drug, medicine, article, or thing designed, adapted, or intended for preventing conception or producing abortion, or for any indecent or immoral use." These laws came to be known collectively as the Comstock Act. The scope of what constituted obscene or lewd material was far broader at the time, and in the late 1800s and early 1900s, the Comstock Act was used to prosecute a wide array of violations.

How the Comstock Act became inactive for books • Passed in 1873: The original Comstock Act made it illegal to send "obscene, lewd, or lascivious" materials through the U.S. mail, which was interpreted to cover a broad range of publications, including anatomy books and classic literature. • Obscenity standard narrowed: Over decades, court rulings progressively narrowed the scope of what is considered legally obscene, limiting the act's reach. Key Supreme Court decisions, including Roth v. United States (1957) and Miller v. California (1973), established a more precise definition of obscenity, making it much harder to prosecute the mailing of books. • Free speech protections: Subsequent First Amendment challenges further protected free speech rights, rendering the Comstock Act obsolete for censoring non-obscene publications. As a result, the mailing of most magazines and books is now considered common and legal. • Modern focus is different: Today, enforcement of the Comstock Act's obscenity provisions is focused almost exclusively on child and violent pornography.

For Monday of Banned Books Week, we explore the Comstock Acts, enacted in 1873 and 1909. While we tend to think of this federal law today in terms of efforts to restrict access to birth control and abortion medications, they originally targeted literature as well. (Thread)

An unusual 'village' aims to help people leave long-term homelessness for good Chronic homelessness is at a record high, but there's a shortage of housing, rehab and mental health treatment. One ambitious program in Utah is finding a way to offer all that plus jobs.

This used to be our attitude in America, now they want to arrest, or kill them.

The Conservative Way.

Lack of empathy or compassion.

We will NEVER be like them, NEVER!

Newsom, Pritzker threaten to pull out of National Governors Association over Trump’s troop deployments The governors accused the bipartisan group of going silent.

#Pinks #ProudBlue
If red state governors are too chickenshit to stand up to trump I think Cali and Illinois should pull out of the National Governors Association. The rest of the blue states should follow suit. Use your power. Hold the line.

Trump quislings like Mike Johnson think we will just forget that Donald Trump was Epstein‘s “best friend”. I have a message for all Republicans who are blocking the release. “Your time will come soon. You chose to protect and defend a pedophiles best friend. Explain that to the voters” #ProudBlue

#Pinks #ProudBlue
It is not us who are weak. Mike Johnson and the rest of the Republican Congressman sycophants are weak. We have never been the weak ones. Hell, we are the only ones with any guts at all.

It pisses me off that people are out here saying the Dems are weak. The GoP are the most spineless, cowardly, useless group of people I’ve ever seen. In. My. Life. They have the power to stop all this and release the Epstein Files but they’re too scared of trump to do it.

#ProudBlue
One of the issues that spurred Dems to take a strong stand on the Big Ugly Bill is that it came with armor: it can't be repealed or changed for 10 years by normal legislative process. A lot of people in both parties, in House & Senate (including MTG, for example) missed this.

Trump floats invoking the Insurrection Act The 1807 law, which allows the military to conduct civilian law enforcement activities under certain circumstances, hasn’t been used since the 1992 Los Angeles riots.

www.nbcnews.com/politics/don... #ProudBlue. Trump says he will invoke “Insurrection Act if courts are holding us up” The act is not meant to be invoked if a court rules against Trump or his unconstitutional over reaching regime. Stephen Miller declared “liberal judges” terrorists. They are targets

“The Hatch Act was passed in 1939, it restricts the partisan political activity of civilian executive branch employees of the Federal Government, District of Columbia Government, and some state and local employees who work in connection with federally funded programs.”

Trump lies “I haven’t heard the name in a long time” when asked about a pardon for his long time friend “Ghislaine Maxwell. That is a provable lie. Todd Blanche promised Maxwell a transfer and pardon. Trump knows it. Pam Bondi knows it. And the entire world knows it. Trump lies again #ProudBlue

Don't play their game. Do an end run & go direct to the voters, esp in Trump voter areas. Give them a fighting chance to save their affordable healthcare and prevent loss of even more local clinics & hospitals.

Democrat Senators, don't be Charlie Brown, you know what will happen!

Trump and Noem’s tactics:

Deploy troops to cities where there are peaceful protestors. Throw smoke grenades and shoot rubber bullets in crowd. Start pushing. And start the cameras rolling.

That’s the war zones they’re creating. And MSM should be clarifying that.

Trump's Plan To invoke the Insurrection Act

According to Robert Reich, "everything Trump is doing now is a preamble for his regime's real goal: to invoke the Insurrection Act. I don’t want to unduly alarm you, but you need to be aware of this imminent danger. It’s unfolding very rapidly."

SCOTUS is allowing Trump to end America and replace it with a right wing racist dictatorship.

Justices 'scared out of their minds' as game of 'chicken' looms with Trump: journalist The U.S. Supreme Court has critics pointing to how the high court has "utterly failed" and presented "disastrous consequences" for Americans with its right-wing supermajority handing President Donald ...

Many critical issues this year were decided by the Supremes on its temporary emergency docket: briefings are limited, & the justices don’t rule on the underlying legality of the issue. Now it's decision time, & many American freedoms are on the line.

Yep. One of their favorite tactics. Another is to cut taxes on the wealthy and then complain that the budget isn't balanced so the poor must pay more. That's the current GOP fiscal policy. #ProudBlue
