Let me put an even finer point on this: Nancy Pelosi intervened in the House Oversight race to make sure a 74 year old cancer patient won over an up and coming, Latino womanโ€”right before Musk eviscerated the government.

Who do we think wouldโ€™ve done a better job at providing oversight?

One of the editors for my upcoming book asked me to explain this in DETAIL when I talked about what women in ICE detention go through and how absolutely none of these people have been convicted of a crime. And even SHE didnt know that seeking asylum is NOT illegal

I have the utmost respect for Clyburn so this isn't about him, but for congress especially - there is no way you remain the best person to represent a specific area of people over multiple DECADES. It just isn't logical.

The image shows a text post from a tumble user with the handle "theconcealedweapon" making an argument about the importance of protecting the rights of criminals as a safeguard against government tyranny. The post presents the following key points:

If you want to prevent government tyranny, ensuring criminals have rights must be your top priority
This is not meant as a joke or exaggeration
Without rights for criminals, governments can simply label people as criminals to strip away their rights
The post claims this has been a common tactic of tyrannical governments throughout history
The post concludes that believing people who break laws should forfeit their rights is effectively supporting tyranny

The argument centers on the idea that due process and legal protections for accused/convicted persons are fundamental safeguards against authoritarian government overreach.

being forced to watch the deliberate undoing of every single transformative gain my grandparents saw in their entire lifetimes within the last three or so decades of my own lifetime is really something.

we are literally seeing the American Century played back in reverse.

Starting to think maybe the most vitally important thing of all to teach a populace is history. Good, true history, with emphasis on things that went wrong and why and how we fixed them

Nobody would listen to someone who doesnโ€™t watch football, and has never played the game the talk about NFLโ€™s rule changesโ€ฆ but theyโ€™ll listen to someone who hasnโ€™t been to medical school about vaccine efficacy.

I would rather boo the white people that put us all in this hellscape or maybe some of the congressfolk kissing this adminโ€™s ass. Makes much more sense.

Honestly wasnโ€™t prepared for how lost and out of his depth Chuck Schumer is this interview. Doesnโ€™t seem like heโ€™s absorbed any new information since 2007. I donโ€™t know who Senate Democratsโ€™ best option is, but hard for me to imagine itโ€™s this.

I think some in the Senate have convinced themselves that the backlash to folding will be limited to โ€œthe leftโ€ and therefore ignorable.

Those people are deeply and profoundly misreading the moment and the stakes.

Virtually every swing district House Dem walked the plank to vote NO for a reason.

Itโ€™s really interesting to get constantly told that the Democrats donโ€™t need votes from the left as the reasoning for why theyโ€™re chasing the center, while at the same time constantly hearing about how the fickle left cost them the election
