Enjoy some truth about the #TrumpShutdown @markwarner.bsky.social

In a Hitleresque speech, JD Vance says there can be no unity with the left and vows to use the government to dismantle non-profit NGOs and liberal civil society who he says promote violence and terrorism.

Charlie Kirk spent his life‘s work and all of his energy and time targeting out-groups while arguing for a world in which gun massacres would be easy to enact, plentiful, and inevitable, and he became famous and wealthy doing it, and we’re now not supposed to mention that because it’s not polite.

Donald J. Trump @realDonald Trump • 27m In honor of Charlie Kirk, a truly Great American Patriot, I am ordering all American Flags throughout the United States lowered to Half Mast until Sunday evening at 6 P.M.

NYC Mass Shooting Was Nearly Impossible to Prevent, Experts Say

Holy shit, they did it. They wrote the headline.

Oh hell yeah

Let the kids starve. As long as they use the right bathroom.

A bad President, for instance, has the power to do what? What can he not do? If he wanted to revolutionize this government, he could easily do it with this ponderous power; it would be an auxiliary power. He could cry “havoc, and let slip the dogs of war,”29 and say to the conspirators: “I am with you. If you succeed, all is well. If you fail, I will interpose the shield of my pardon, and you are safe. If your property is taken away from you by Congress, I will pardon and restore your property. Go on and revolutionize the government; I will stand by you.” The bad man will say or might say this. I am not sure but we have got a man now who comes very near saying it. Let us have done with this pardoning power. We have had enough of this. Pardoning! How inexpressibly base have been the uses made by this power—this beneficent power. It has been that with which a treacherous President has trafficked. He has made it the means of securing adherents to himself instead of securing allegiance to the government.

very fun to read frederick douglass accurately describe the problem with the pardon power in 1867

There must be in groups whom the law protects but does not bind and there must be outgroups whom the law binds but does not protect.
Conservatism.

This is the first year that Francisco has harvested mandarin oranges. He's working near Sanger CA and shares: The work is dangerous. I've seen other workers get injured so I'm very careful. The pay is low but I do it as my family depends on me. #WeFeedYou

A reminder that if the government can send migrants to a prison camp without any due process, it can send U.S. citizens there, too. I know because this happened to me and my family in 1942.

Cory Booker, winding down: "We need a greater love in this country a greater fight in this country a greater determination." And re: Strom Thurmond: "I'm not here because of his speech. I'm here despite his speech. The people are more powerful."

Just read this graf. Share it with people you know who don’t pay attention to politics or news.

Oh nothing makes me sadder than the agent lost his bladder in the.. Airrrrrrplane

Go birds.

Don't worry guys, prices will be wayyy lower after the collapse.

Trump said 67 people died in a plane crash because not enough white people work at the FAA.

Remember, this is the guy corporate America lined up behind.

Wishing you all a very merry Go Birds today.

Where are all my #bluelivesmatter friends today? How we doing? Just want to check in.

Go birds!

Not a chance with any more than 33 Republican Senators. There is no bottom to their obsequiousness.
