“Law and order” was only ever code for “keeping Black people down”.

Having only recently discovered Louise Brooks I need to suggest there’s an amazing biopic waiting to be made.

So IOW as these white people don't want Black folks, POC, LGBTQ+, women to get the same opportunities they have just by being born white. Got it.

The difference between the former and the latter is the same difference as using water to grow plants from seed as opposed to pouring it down the drain.

If your counterpoint is to what Paul says here, I don't hear where he's stipulating that the House can't make their own rules. He seems to only be arguing that the House has abdicated its power and its responsibility to both the Constitution and to their constituents. Which is absolutely true.

He's "leaving" the way a jewel thief leaves a jewelry store after he's gotten everything he wanted from it.

The red lines begin: A dozen House Republicans say no to big Medicaid cuts A dozen House Republicans are warning GOP leaders that they won’t back a reconciliation package that includes massive cuts to Medicaid.

🧵1
House Republicans are cracking.
12 told leadership they won’t back Trump’s MAGA Medicaid cuts. Why?

Because WE made it politically toxic.

They’re feeling the heat—so turn it up.

Flood their phones.
Blow up their inboxes.
Make them regret coming for our care.

Funny how all of the Garland hate bots mobilize just at the time that the current AG is about to go completely rogue. It makes one wonder.

the Maryland citizen being detained in the prison our tax dollars are paying for. If El Salvador puts up obstacles to deny them access, then it needs to be the HIGHEST priority of every member shouted from every rooftop and plastered across ALL media until they are. No exceptions! /2

Apparently Kristi Noebbels was under the impression several Mar-a-Lago face operations would keep her anonymous in preparation for the 2029 international military tribunal for which she will be called to testify.

Apparently everything else he and we know full well about Trump after decades of pushing himself into our consciousness means nothing that a couple of hours of schmoozing can't completely upend.

A seamstress named Elsy Noemi Berrios was forcibly detained by masked agents who did not present a warrant.

Elsy is about 52 years old & has an asylum case pending in court.

Her teenage daughter filmed this terrifying scene.

If they can do it to her, they can do it to you.

Speak out now!

If Ukraine didn't want to be invaded why did they start a country right next door to Russia? We have to hold them to blame as well.

Would it surprise me that those who run the El Salvador prison would purposely kill him once it became a controversial issue? No, no it wouldn't.

He's already determined the "cause", he just wants to have money to spend for the next several months before he gets around to announcing it.
