Genocidal political parties cannot be redeemed.
And this party in particular continues to demonstrate that even its most โprogressiveโ wing is complicit and comfortable with fascism.
Make your plans for #NoKings. This Saturday, October 18th.
Free speech is action. Protestors believe that action has meaning. Protestors are exercising the rights enshrined in the Constitution. For me, protest is about love of country.
I'll be there. Please join in.

It is really frustrating to see these narratives develop around with the administration without people pointing at the pardons for Jan 6 and saying, "you pardoned people convicted of assaulting officers. You literally do tolerate violence."

Law enforcement manufacturing evidence and testilying isn't novel to the Trump administration. It's not even more common. They're just worse at it so they're more easily caught doing it.

And another [non-Scotus, of course] federal judge in the ranks of those who stand up for rule of law.
Courage and principle are contagious. Stand up, and support others who do.
