This is not a minor issue: it’s a serious threat to democracy. We’re rapidly transitioning into a world where, as long as you support the president, you can be above the law; if you’re in the opposition, you have a target on your back. Opposition can’t survive under these conditions.

NEW: Rachel Maddow drops unseen bodycam footage of feds coordinating the arrest of Newark Mayor Baraka.

I REPEAT: the feds ordered his arrest even though he wasn’t breaking any laws.

Federal agent: β€œWe are arresting the mayor right now per the Deputy Attorney General of the United States.”

I believe there is growing evidence, that the White House is covering up the fact that Donald Trump has been dealing with TIA strokes.

AND that he likely had a more significant ischemic stroke this week.

i find this image so fascinating. it is both a literal example of authoritarianism but also a second-hand reproduction of the aesthetics of other authoritarian states. it's like a simulacra of authoritarianism whose purpose is to attempt to make the simulacra real.

CNN headline that reads: "Supreme Court allows Trump to block $783 million in National Institutes of Health grants for now"

CNN headline that reads: "Supreme Court allows Trump to block $783 million in National Institutes of Health grants for now"

The Supreme Court just greenlit Donald Trump gutting nearly $800 MILLION for medical treatments and cures.

Congress approved this funding for a reason: it saves lives.

This is disgraceful, and families will suffer.

U.S. Air Force to deny retirement pay for transgender troops being separated from service An Air Force spokesperson told The Associated Press that β€œalthough service members with 15 to 18 years of honorable service were permitted to apply for an exception to policy, none of the exceptions…

The U.S. Air Force said Thursday it would deny all transgender service members who have served between 15 and 18 years the option to retire early and would instead separate them without retirement benefits.

NY Times reported John Durham found the β€œClinton Plan” emails were likely created by Russian spies. Right-wing media are running with them as legitimate. The right-wing media ecosystem has exploded with false claims about a newly-declassified annex to special counsel John Durham’s report on Russian collusion with Trump’s 2016 campaign. Right-wing media...

Figures have suggested Clinton should be β€œbehind bars,” argued the debunked scandal will β€œmake Watergate look like a jaywalking ticket,” and likened it to a β€œsoft coup attempt” and β€œtreason”

CBS canceled Colbert’s show just THREE DAYS after Colbert called out CBS parent company Paramount for its $16M settlement with Trump – a deal that looks like bribery.

America deserves to know if his show was canceled for political reasons.

Watch and share his message.

A vintage style Florida postcard that reads 

β€œVisit FLORIDA 
The Concentration Camp State”

…with a sunset view of a beach and palm trees in the background. 

In 1930s-50s style, the capital letters of FLORIDA are filled with an illustration, but it’s a photograph of bunk beds surrounded by chain link cages at the horribly named Alligator Alcatraz concentration camp. 

The legend at the bottom says 

Questions or concerns? Email  PR@visitflorida.org or call + 1(850) 488-5607. (Press 1 to speak with a representative)

Wouldn’t it be interesting if Florida’s official state tourism agency found out exactly what people thought about their brand new concentration camp? (I made a thing - feel free to copy and share)

Got this email from Mike Johnson. He has a special message for me. But when you click on it, you're taken to the usual fundraising page. The box making your donation monthly is already checked. He's trying to con people into unintentionally letting them charge their credit card monthly. Grifter!

If you think it can’t happen here, remember that it already did. In 1942 soldiers came with rifles to our home and ordered us out. They put us in internment camps. Most of us were citizens.

A Rhode Island Judge Tells Trump "No" And it's a very important "no"

Today’s decision out of Rhode Island isn’t getting a lot of attention, but it’s very important. Trump tried to withhold fed’l funds from states that won’t help with his immigration policy & mass deportations. A Judge just told him he can’t do that. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...
