This is all John Roberts’ fault Trump owes his corrupt and abusive reign to one man.

“Roberts has been embedding white-dominant authoritarianism into the country’s source code for two decades. It’s impossible to imagine today’s crisis without the Roberts court having first undermined the foundations of our democracy.”

This all on the leader of the MAGA #scotus ↘️

Absolutely correct. So much of the discourse around restoring trust in the institutions is focused on decorum and civility theater. But why would anyone trust the institutions if, after the horror show that we are suffering through, they yet again fail to impose some measure of real accountability?

I’m thinking the Dems need to run on nothing less than remaking American democracy.

End Citizens United, totally reform the corrupt and broken SCOTUS, a new voting rights act, ban gerrymandering everywhere.

And give Trump figures who broke the law fair trials, and ban them from federal jobs.

"These breaks come in addition to the roughly $4 trillion package of tax cuts that President Trump signed into law in July..."

The deprivation of food is done with the specific intent to cause death, or with "malice aforethought" (extreme recklessness or "depraved heart" that shows a reckless indifference to human life), the charge can be first or second-degree murder.

The alleged shooter of the #Minnesota legislator killed this year was a minister steeped in Christian supremacy — the idea that certain theologies & churches should control all areas of our lives.

It looks like His Majesty is getting ready for war with Venezuela, just in time for the midterms. He’ll even kill your kids to stay in power. Think about that.

And they're living it up with dancing girls at Mar-a-Lago and drinking bubbly at the new Café de Rose Garden and hitting companies up for Trump's opulent ballroom and squeezing a 747 from Qatar and selling watches and crypto and sneakers and otherwise making a mint.

It shouldn't be hard at all.

“Democrats clearly won young men last night [and] they didn’t do it by pandering to young men. They didn’t do it by begging in broken fratboy speak. They didn’t do it by treating young men like special little boys who need their hands held. They didn’t do it by abandoning women and trans people.”

“The 3.5% rule is a concept in political science that states that when 3.5% of the population of a country protest nonviolently against a government, that government is likely to fall from power.”

If you can get to a No Kings rally this Saturday, please do.

AOC: The problem is that the Trump administration, they think that destroying our health care, making sure that housing is too expensive to live in, that jacking up the cost of our groceries—they think all of this is about hurting Democrats. What they are doing is hurting Americans

It's been 23 days since Adelita Grijalva was elected by the people of Arizona's seventh congressional district to represent them in Congress.

Mike Johnson still refuses to swear her in.

You are a DINO-a Democrat in name only. You voted to take away healthcare from people in America while the super wealthy get permanent tax cuts. You need to step down and let someone who will truly represent the people of Pennsylvania take over. You are not fit for office.

Anytime, anywhere you hear anyone say that democrats have shut down the government, kindly correct them. The republicans shut down the government.

Dear Democrats in Congress: Please stop taking about working with Trump. He is a fascist who is coming for our freedoms. You are normalizing his fascism by speaking of working with him. What we need is for you to take the FIGHT to Trump every day!
Thanks

Do not be bullied, cowed, or shamed by bad-faith right-wing actors and MAGA that are blaming "liberals" and everyone who isn't MAGA for Charlie Kirk.

Call them out for their hypocrisy. Go on offense. They are fine with political violence and mass shootings when it's against the rest of us.

For everyone saying political violence has no place in this country…

Remember two Democratic legislators were shot in Minnesota just this year.

And America shrugged and moved on.

When President Clinton banned assault rifles in 1994, mass shootings dropped by 43%. After Republicans let the ban expire in 2004, they increased by 243% — please don’t tell me bans don’t work, because I don’t want to hear it.

Charlie Kirk Says Gun Deaths 'Unfortunately' Worth it to Keep 2nd Amendment

Newsweek Charlie Kirk Says Gun Deaths 'Unfortunately' Worth it to Keep 2nd Amendment PUBLISHED APR 06, 2023 AT 05:39 PM EDT UPDATED APR 07, 2023 AT 08:44 AM EDT

Charlie Kirk in 2023: "It’s worth to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year so that we can have the Second Amendment."

He was wrong. No child, no moviegoer and no conservative commentator should have to die to maintain this perverted notion of the 2nd Amendment.
