I believe Callais must be overturned one day, either by a wiser majority or an outraged population, and the sooner it happens the better off we’ll be.

BREAKING: In an unsigned, per curiam opinion on the shadow docket, the SCOTUS conservatives allow Alabama to use a congressional map held repeatedly by a lower court to have been enacted with discriminatory intent.

BREAKING: CBS News has terminated 60 Minutes correspondent Scott Pelley's contract following his vocal disagreements with the new leadership under Bari Weiss.

CBS just fired Scott Pelley after his very public clash with network leadership. If one of the most respected journalists in America can be shown the door, what does that tell the rest of the newsroom? Donald...CBS...you MF'ers will not win.

Scott Pelley took a stand. We need more Scott Pelleys

The military draft comment from Leavitt feels like a trial balloon. If there's enough outcry, Trump denies it and Leavitt falls on her sword for "misspeaking." If there's not, Trump and Hegseth bring it up casually and slowly push. For example, Trump may "joke" about it as a next step. 1/2

What an honor to receive @hrc.org’s 2026 Ally for Equality award at HRC South Florida’s annual dinner. Silence is not civility. Silence is complicity. As an ally, we must be louder because progress has never come from silence. These times demand the courage to stand up & fight back for equality.

Meanwhile, in the U.S., the rich and powerful are still being protected by the Trump administration. Unmarked vehicles arrived at Sandringham Estate as police took him into custody.

Former Republican Speaker of the House, Dennis Hastert went to prison for molesting children. Trump is mentioned in the Epstein files over 38,000 times Current Republican Speaker of the House Mike Johnson seems to be running a pedo protection program. Do you think Republicans have a problem?

Rep. Stephen Lynch: "It offers a great contrast. Look what the British government is doing in light of the evidence, and look what the US government is doing. Nothing. Our chief law enforcement officer Pam Bondi is defending and obstructing the investigation."

MS NOW has obtained a statement from the family of Virginia Roberts Giuffre: At last.   Today, our broken hearts have been lifted at the news that no one is above the law, not even royalty.

Donald Trump’s secret ICE thugs are murdering American citizens. And then they are lying to the American people to avoid accountability. This is fascism, plain and simple. ICE needs to be abolished and they need to immediately get off of our streets.

Under California Penal Code Section 518 PC, extortion is a criminal offense that involves the use of force or threats to compel another person into providing money or property, or using force or threats to compel a public official to perform or neglect an official act or duty.

Boy, I am just a former state public defender and federal criminal investigator but someone is going to have to explain to me how federal agents who are not on federal property are able to block state law enforcement from accessing a crime scene Sounds like pretty clear Obstruction of Justice to me

Robin reposted

I told the White House the state must lead the investigation. Let state investigators secure justice. As we process the scene, stay peaceful and give them space. The State has the personnel to keep people safe – federal agents must not obstruct our ability to do so.

Minneapolis Police Chief O'Hara: "The video speaks for itself. We have identified this person - 37-year-old, white male, resident of the city. The only interaction that we are aware of with law enforcement has been for traffic tickets and we believe he is a lawfully gun owner with a permit to carry"

Do you know how hard it is to get cops to seemingly side with people shot by a bunch of officers

Filming federal agents in public is not a crime, nobody should be harassed or restrained for doing so, nobody should have their phone confiscated for it, and nobody should get the death penalty for it. This is supposed to be a free Republic, not an authoritarian police state.

To those blaming Walz for not mobilizing the Guard, he did that six days ago. I have to say it's disturbing to see people angry at Walz instead of the government agents that just executed a man. As though we should all be experts about what to do when a secret police force invades an American city.

As a fuck you to the orange felon for withdrawing the United Stares from the World Health Organization, California has joined instead thanks to Governor Gavin Newsome. Good, love that.

MAGA and ICE don't have the numbers. Yes, they have power, money, and the government. But they don't have the people. Every week, they are hated more and more and radicalizing white folks, veterans, independents, and conservatives.

Democrats needing to message on affordability as the country endures a brutal authoritarian takeover is tragic. Take it from someone who lives in occupied Minneapolis. Our problems go deeper than prices.

Attacks on Jack Smith are transparent efforts to undermine his testimony. His investigation followed all legal and policy requirements and amassed evidence of Donald Trump’s guilt. Grateful for his courage.

I'm not saying Air Force One didn't have a "minor electrical issue" that forced it to turn around, but I am saying that would be unprecedented for a highly advanced piece of machinery that's supposedly equipped to be a flying command-and-control center during a nuclear war. Odd.
