Odd, how South Park is covering Kristi Noem and her ICE hooligans more accurately than The New York Times.

No. A thousand times, NO

A dozen or more transgender members of the U.S. Air Force who had sought early retirement to avoid being discharged for their gender identity have had those retirements canceled. Each has served between 15 and 18 years.

Being awful to Americans who honorably served the country for nearly two decades, just to be bigots.

Being transgender is not misconduct. These servicemembers have a reliance argument (contract law) that should succeed in court. Otherwise what’s to prevent any admin from just finding arbitrary reason to dismiss military people right before they retire??

Lesson 1: DO NOT OBEY IN ADVANCE

“Most of the power of authoritarianism is freely given. In times like these, individuals think ahead about what a more repressive government will want, & then offer themselves without being asked. A citizen who adapts in this way is teaching power what it can do.”

Where The Hell Is Alex Acosta? They ignored the victims. Protected the enablers. And handed the narrative to partisan hacks. This isn’t justice; it’s cover-up cosplay from a Congress that thinks you’re an idiot.

This is a very good question......

Pillard in dissent, 100% right: “The majority does an exemplary judge a grave disservice by overstepping its bounds to upend his effort to vindicate the judicial authority that is our shared trust."

Explainer: Can DOJ Access States’ Voter Data? It's Complicated Read about the fight for democracy from activists, elected officials, legal experts and others.

The DOJ's pursuit of states' sensitive voter data is concerning, given the department's prosecutorial power, said Maine's Secretary of State.

"How can Americans trust that they wouldn’t be investigating people based on political affiliation?"

Boasberg , the latest public servant, who for his integrity and dedication to duty winds up getting put through the wringer— distorted and even vilified.

GOP Utah Senate President Slammed After Changing Law To Help Relative Who Raped 13-Year-Old Absolutely horrendous.

This is absolutely horrendous.

A little math about that prison camp in Florida. $450 million per year for 3,000 people is $150,000/person per year. The cost for one person receiving SNAP for one year is $2256, yet they're telling us that's too expensive. threads.com/@unapologeticallyzae

Israel announces plan to take over Gaza City in another escalation of the war Israel's Security Cabinet approved a plan to take over Gaza City despite demands by families of hostages and mounting international calls for Israel to end the war.

Israel's Security Cabinet approved a proposal early Friday for the military to expand the war in Gaza and take control of Gaza City, one of the last areas of the territory not yet under full occupation.

This would never be happening if Harris were POTUS.

Full on authoritarianism on every front in Texas:

-Stealing five seats to help Trump rig midterms

-Threatening to arrest/expel democratically elected reps opposing election rigging

-Weaponizing federal law enforcement to illegally target elected reps

-SCOTUS preparing to kill Voting Rights Act

Hmm, what do ‘central camps’ and ‘final plan’ remind you of?

Vaccine’s bad!

Heroin good!!

The VA’s unilateral termination of union contracts for ~360k workers represents a loss of 2.5% OF ALL UNION MEMBERS IN AMERICA.
I’m not sure what it will take for the labor movement to get into crisis mode, but the crisis is here.

JFC what a bunch of freaking a$$holes. I hate these people.🤬

DelBene: They’re scared they can’t keep a majority because they’re not standing up for the issues the American people care about.

We should be making sure that voters pick their representatives—not politicians picking their voters.

They know they can’t win, so they’re trying to rig the system.

Perez: The governor's coordinating the Texas department of public safety with the FBI, the president—this is really the type of coordination that could have been used when Texans needed it during the recent floods.

Heinous.

Fox News hosts are furious that Big Balls and Holly got beat up and people just filmed it instead of intervening.

“Who stands there and watches as someone gets attacked?”

These same people are perfectly fine with ICE kidnappings.

This Is Not a Drill: When the FBI Hunts Lawmakers for Political Resistance...You’re in a Coup The coup isn’t coming. It’s underway. And unless we treat it like a five-alarm fire, we lose everything.

They’re not arresting criminals. They’re arresting resistance. And if that doesn’t shake you, read this twice.👇

Parts of the Constitution were erased from the Library of Congress website, including the section featuring the foreign emoluments clause.

The removal was blamed on a "coding error."

Here's a reminder of what the clause says, just in case Congress ever decides to enforce it...
