It's not just that they're going to strike down a law against conversion therapy, it's that they're going to do it on behalf of made-up claims from a straw plaintiff who can't honestly show the law affected her at all

RAJU: You swore in 2 GOP members during pro forma session. Why not swear in Grijalva? Does it have to do w/her signature on Epstein petition?

JOHNSON: It has nothing to do with that. We'll swear her in when everybody is back

R: Why not now?

J: Uh - we'll schedule it, I guess, as soon as she wants

Secrecy is a huge factor in the tactics of tech companies carpet-bombing communities with oversized and destructive data centres.

ICE is hog tying protesters in Portland and removing them on Dollies.

This is dangerous and could cause serious injury.

The Department of Homeland Security thinks itโ€™s a joke.

Theyโ€™ve shared this video with the tagline โ€œRefuse to Walk? Weโ€™ll give you a rideโ€.

Stay strong Portland.

Beachfront home of South Carolina judge, ex-senator burned to ground, injuring 3 Ex-senator Arnold Goodstein, along with two additional people, were rescued by several neighbors and paramedics from a marshy, remote area behind the home after jumping from the fist floor.

No indication yet from major media that the FBI has any interest whatsoever in investigating this apparent attempted assassination of a well-known judge openly targeted on social media by the far-right activistโ€”Harmeet Dhillonโ€”currently calling herself Assistant Attorney General of the United States

She had no less than seven holes in her body from the shooting.

Martinez is a US citizen.

ICE agents shot a US citizen on US soil at least seven times. Her car was riddled with bullets.

I'm glad she's been released pending trial, but surely the agent who shot her should face charges?

Greta Thunberg On Her Detention: I'm "Not The Story" โ€” It's Israel Violating International Humanitarian Law โ€œI could talk for a very, very long time about our mistreatment and abuses in our imprisonment. Trust me. But that is not the story.โ€

Greta Thunberg, deported to Greece, says the targeting of the Sumud Flotilla is "not the story" @teenvogue.com โ€” instead, she says:

"Israel once again violated international humanitarian law by preventing aid from getting into Gaza while people are being starved.โ€

As we fall further we fall into fascism, protections like this will be seen as more and more unreasonable. So it will become more and more crucial to demand them anyway.

Do not let the absurdity of tyrants skew your view of what is possible, moral, and just.

There are plenty of mentally ill people who arenโ€™t evil fascist freaks.

Iโ€™m not saying itโ€™s sane behavior, but only referring to it as a medical issue is far too generous.
