"We should not have to live in a country where the Government can seize anyone who looks Latino, speaks Spanish, and appears to work a low wage job. Rather than stand idly by while our constitutional freedoms are lost, I dissent." —Justice Sonia Sotomayor

Jones: I want to bring theology into this because you have all these people that want to give thoughts and prayers. But I was a minister, and that is a form of theological malpractice—when you pray for something you have the power to change.

Washington will NOT be bullied.

I can’t wait to see them hand Pam Bondi her ass.

They aren't all the same. Sometimes it goes across the horizon. Sometimes it is just the tip of the sun. They are all awesome.

Nice!

Jasmine Crockett delivers passionate call for Texans to come together

Moore: We were able to see historic drops in violent crime, and never once did I activate the National Guard to do municipal policing.

This is not about performance — this is performative.

They are now using the military as pawns in this process to feed into this military fetish
