MY LATEST: After a string of humiliating defeats in court, the DOJ asked the Supreme Court in an emergency appeal to let it seize control of mail voting ahead of the midterms. This case will be considered on the so-called shadow docket. newsletters.democracydocket.com/democracy-is...

Only the Military can stop this now
The President of the United States is threatening war crimes. That alone is illegal. He is unfit for office. I am urging the entire military command to remember your oath to the Constitution. Do not follow illegal orders. Do not commit war crimes. The stain and repercussions will be endless.
I abhor this man, and prefer not to expand his social media reach, but this may be the most ironic statement ever made. #dyslexia #disability
Trump and his aides lowered the authorization level for lethal force, broadened target categories, inflated threat assessments and fired inspectors general...

This is the way a lot of us would like to think we would respond to hostile questions in a Congressional hearing, but its rare to see a witness just turn the tables on a Senator like this.

They're talking about killing leftist activists. They're talking about murdering people organizing in defense of immigrant communities, doing mutual aid work, and protesting their violence. They are talking about murdering people like me and my friends. We must do more than acknowledge it's fascism.
My gosh. After the US bombed multiple boats in the middle of the ocean, murdering people on grounds that they were allegedly "carrying drugs," the US Attorney General says "Just like we did with cartels, we're going to take the same approach, President Trump, with Antifa."
