The MAGA white Christian nationalist project is bound to fail. They dont have the numbers, and the world, specifically people of color and women, have gained more influence and wealth over the past 60 years. Still, they'll try and, in the process, destroy the country and themselves.

I feel the need to repost this today.

I think a lot about what it must be like for Justices Sotomayor, Kagan, and Brown Jackson to serve on this court. I think a lot about Justice Sotomayor describing going to her office to cry. I am very grateful to these women. This can’t be easy.

This is not about "left" vs "right" anymore — and it hasn't been for a long time. The oligarchy feels safer if people split along the old “left” vs.“right” battle lines, so they won’t notice they’re being shafted and won't join together to fight back.

"We fear that if this bill passes, a village in rural Alaska might lose its one-and-only grocery store because of a drastic decline in SNAP dollars. It might also lose its sole health care clinic or hospital because it cannot sustain its services with decreased Medicaid reimbursements."

Birthright citizenship is a Constitutional RIGHT. Any attack on it is an attack on us all. This is an attempt by far-right justices to attack immigrant communities and remove protections from any American who questions Trump. Your rights are nonnegotiable. We can’t compromise on that basic fact.

The number of manifestly psychologically unwell people in the highest levels of this administration should be unsettling to the world.

Most of this “press conference” is this lunatic yelling at the media. This guy is so obsessed with his press coverage that he can’t even function.

We need a new generation of leaders who are the voices of democracy, freedom, social justice, & the rule of law.  A new generation that gives meaning to the “we” in “we the people.” Instead of fretting over Zohran Mamdani, the Democratic Party should embrace him as the future.

Do they really think they can scare us with the word “socialist” when they are literally sending out men in masks with no warrants and no badges to disappear people off American streets? I know what I’m scared of, and it’s not a socialist.

Just like a woman in California has a right to an abortion twhile a woman in Missouri does not. That was the entire point of state’s rights. Some state have rights for their citizens and others do not.

Which means a baby born in New York to undocumented parents will be a citizen. But a baby born to undocumented parents in Kentucky will not be a citizen. This is madness.

it is the Imperial Judiciary when courts say that presidents can’t unilaterally overturn constitutional text, and the Proper Order of Things when courts say that your rights rest on the whims of who happens to be in office

Woah. Fierce cut-down of the junior justice by the next-most-junior justice. Barrett giving Jackson the back of her hand:

Mark my words. This administration will continue to freight train the constitution and buy time litigating while they literally disappear brown citizens to places they will claim they can't get them back from. I. Am. Terrified.

Based on random reports that have hit the internet, it seems at least 9 people have died in ICE custody in the USA, and there's been at least one stillbirth. I imagine the true stats are far beyond these numbers, but ICE is -- like the rest of this administration -- completely untrustworthy.

"The rule of law is not a given in this Nation, nor any other. It is a precept of our democracy that will endure only if those brave enough in every branch fight for its survival. Today, the Court abdicates its vital role in that effort." —Justice Sotomayor

This is an assault on the Reconstruction Amendments by a Neo-Confederate Court wedded to the far-right argument that those amendments were illegitimate and destroyed the original intent of the Founders, which was to create a white man's country

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?

There are no superheroes. Which is why the felon is such a blowhard self-promoter. Understanding #MediaLiteracy, civics, history and critical thinking are key. Which is why he and his regime declared war on education.

the mamdani thing is showing you how limited the range of acceptable opinions actually is in america. republicans can be a stone's throw away from endorsing genocide and thats fine but one guy goes slightly to the left of dem party orthodoxy and we're right in the middle of soviet russia

This is beyond journalistic malpractice. We're talking about matters of war and peace—historic lies told by a POTUS to push America into a pointless war—and CNN is burying the lede that the attack was a byproduct of secret negotiations with those who've supported Trump financially and politically?

‘This isn’t whet I voted for. I thought they would just arrest people who are criminals’ No, this is what you voted for. You all even waved signs supporting it. Don’t let them pretend they didn’t know, they did.

*This* is why they are freaking out about Zohran Mamdani.

Generational change is coming: Since Zohran Mamdani won on Tuesday night, more than 1100 young people have reached out to @runforsomething.net to explore a run for local office -- one of our biggest spikes of the year yet.

Today marks the third anniversary of the Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe v. Wade. What's happened since? A record number of women have been prosecuted. Pregnancy loss is now considered extremely suspicious, even when it has nothing to do with abortion.
