This is not just a current political issue. Charging & punishing these particular perpetrators is vital to keeping the fight against the ongoing abuse & killing of women & children by men in the spotlight. "Me Too" was only a start.

SEN. KELLY : “They informed me of this in a tweet because this is not about the law. This is about the media cycle, and intimidation… We basically repeated the uniform code of military justice, and they're saying that's in violation of it. It's absurd. Comical.”

"If anything good came out of Friday’s Bolton raids, at least a few more people finally understand that when Trump showed us who he really is, we should have believed him the first time."

Some nattering nabobs were shocked by Friday’s FBI Bolton raid to realize that Trump actually is a fascist after all But he spent all of 2024 telling America exactly how he’d be a dictator- and now is keeping that promise My new column www.inquirer.com/opinion/comm...

A Black woman already tried to save y’all, but her joy was dismissed as weakness. The truth is she was too joyful for a country that demands Black leaders carry pain, anger, and perfection.

I see A lot of posts talking about switching Hakeem Jeffries for Jasmine Crockett. ONCE AGAIN, they're looking for the BLACK WOMAN TO SAVE US! I ABSOLUTELY LOVE Jasmine, but as soon as she does or says something you people don't like, You'll be DRAGGING her the same way you're dragging Hakeem.

Trump’s actions are recklessly hurting RI’s economy and our clean & affordable electricity future. Halting this nearly completed project is illogical, unwarranted, and unacceptable.  I will do everything I can to lower energy bills in our state and keep hardworking Rhode Islanders on the job.

Inflation rose by 22.6% from 2019-2024. In that same period, the 100 lowest-paying corporations paid their CEOs 34.7% more. Worker pay didn't even keep up with the rate of inflation. Those corporate tax breaks will never, ever, ever trickle down. WE ARE BEING SCAMMED.

Scanlon: The Gulf of Mexico was so named over 500 years ago. If we want to update that name to reflect our current culture, maybe we should call it the Sea of Emoluments—you know, the place where we can board the Ship of Fools and navigate from a State of Ignorance to the Confederacy of Dunces…

Even *if* you accept Stephen Miller’s (textually, historically, and morally indefensible) claim that undocumented immigrants are not entitled to due process, you’d *still* need due process to ensure that the individuals at issue are, in fact, undocumented. His argument fails even on its own terms.

A man who holds the title of President of the United States, who took an oath to protect and defend the Constitution, who then says he doesn’t know if he’d uphold the Constitution, is unfit to be president and should be removed.

Linda reposted

When the President of the United States says he doesn’t know if he should uphold the Constitution, it should be a searing red line for every American. If you let him ignore ANY aspect of the Constitution you embolden him to ignore more of it, including the parts that secure YOUR freedoms & rights.

Estate taxes reduce concentration of wealth, which is bad for economies. There should be an estate (inheritance) tax and a wealth tax, and a truly progressive income tax -- no loopholes or write-offs.

Just in time for ACLU Community Safety Week, ACLU-PA and YouGov conducted a poll of PA residents about what makes their communities safe. The results? Pennsylvanians want more investment in the services and resources that address crime at its root, not more police, prisons, and deportations.

Undocumented immigrants paid an effective federal income tax rate of 5.27% in 2022. That means they paid a higher effective tax rate than 5 of the richest Americans…and a higher effective tax rate than 55 mega corporations. So let me ask you: who are the real freeloaders?
