The murder of Charlie Kirk was criminal, wrong, and should be condemned.

And Charlie Kirk was a horrible, hateful man who spent his life radicalizing young people to embrace their worst demons by targeting women, people of color, immigrants, and the marginalized.

I refuse to sanitize him.

Charlie Kirk spent his life‘s work and all of his energy and time targeting out-groups while arguing for a world in which gun massacres would be easy to enact, plentiful, and inevitable, and he became famous and wealthy doing it, and we’re now not supposed to mention that because it’s not polite.

Can someone in the legacy media explain to me how this is not front page news? How is it that only Democracy Docket is covering this unfolding authoritarian takeover? www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

it shouldn't be easier to get a gun in America than the covid vaccine

I’m just saying that when it happens I’m jumping out of bed, running to my window, and tossing a coin to a boy to buy the biggest goose in town

Pritzker: This is not about fighting crime. This is about the President and his complicit lackey, Stephen Miller, searching for ways to lay the groundwork to circumvent our democracy, militarize our cities, and end elections.

What Gives Me Hope Read more here.

When people ask me what gives me hope, my answer is simple: you do. Every person who refuses to look away. Every lawyer who files a brief. Every protester who shows up. Every voter who refuses to surrender their rights. You give me hope—not because victory is certain but precisely because it is not.

It's Time!

The DC sandwich guy has been charged with assault for shouting at a CBP officer, throwing a sub into his chest, and then running off.

"I did it. I threw the sandwich," he said while he was being processed.

OMG, that had me rolling. Thank you, it's the hardest I've laughed in weeks. 🤣

The US satire cartoon show South Park secured a five-year deal worth $1.5 billion with Paramount Global. They began their season with this clip, challenging Trump to sue them.

The fact we have secret police whisking people off the streets doesn’t get enough attention. It ain’t normal and we’re further down the road to authoritarianism than you think.

Sad, but true.

One Million Rising: Strategic Non-Cooperation to Fight Authoritarianism · No Kings Across the country, authoritarian forces are getting bolder and more dangerous. Trump and his allies are not hiding their agenda: mass deportations, rollbacks of civil rights, weaponized courts, and f...

Congress and the courts won’t save us. We are the only ones who can save us. Our next national effort is to train 1 million people in the strategic logic and practice of non-cooperation, as well as the basics of community organizing and campaign design. This is how we stop an authoritarian takeover.

I concur!!! It can be anyone who wants to cosplay any kind of agent!!!

So am I reading this court decision correctly? We now have 50 micronations with their own laws interpreting the U.S. Constitution wholly separate from one another? But there's one guy with private law enforcement who is immune from all punishment who can do whatever he wants in those 50 states?

The US is stupid for having Supreme Court judges for life. When judges are identified as liberal or conservative they no longer have the impartiality needed to dictate the law or justice. The supreme court should be filled similar to jury duty drawing from a rotating national fed & state judge pool.

The neighborhood is getting ready for tomorrow

The most important words of our Constitution are the first three: We the People. We have no Kings here, no monarchs, no slaves and no subjects.

We the People.

We will be participating outside the US consulate in Amsterdam. No fascist dictators!

Without comment. Keep hammering this.

I will be damned if I allow a bunch of Confederate-waving January 6th apologists give the American people a lecture on flag waving.

There is ZERO reason to enter an argument about patriotism with people who still worship traitors to America 150+ years later.

They. Are. Breaking. The. Law.

Everything that’s happened over the past six months has been a response to an imaginary crisis. There is no immigrant invasion. No trade crisis. No scientific or governance crisis. Just people completely high off their own supply trying to fundamentally reorder society. None of this had to happen.

The only time the federal government can take control of any State National Guard is with the invocation of the Insurrection act or martial law. Up until then, the states control the National Guard.
