I WANT THIS EVERYWHERE: “Trump and Republicans made devastating cuts to Medicaid and plan to let vital healthcare subsidies expire. Millions will lose coverage. Millions could see premiums rise by as much as 75%. Every lie they tell about a shutdown is an attempt to cover this up.” -Robert Reich-

Networks airing any portion of speeches by documented LIARS, who continue to tell even bigger LIES, and provide them a platform to tell those dangerous LIES to tens of millions of people....is not serious about democracy. They are PART of the attack on democracy. Plain and f*cking simple.

I would love to be part of the conversation on MSNBC related to the Kimmel story and it's chilling effects on first amendment, but unfortunately I was terminated by MSNBC for stating that "hateful thoughts lead to hateful words which lead to hateful actions".

Can we ask it yet? Has America already fallen, and are we gliding through the demise without ardor? Because it certainly feels that way. Are we so under reacting to the moment, that a march will no longer suffice as a cure. Do we need a general strike, a sick day, against fascism?

Justice Brennan: “We do not consecrate the flag by punishing its desecration, for in doing so we dilute the freedom that this cherished emblem represents…..OH Fuck! Get it out of his mouth!” Texas v Johnson

“The Trump administration realized that corrupting the FBI would be a tall order, while they’re certainly trying to do that, they put most of their chips on a different number: Reinventing ICE as the instrument of internal state power.” ⁦ Jonathan Last - "The American Police State Is Here" Bulwark

I don’t think anyone wants to hear this, but we are losing. On all fronts. We cannot continue to fight fair because this is not a fair fight. Get behind California, and bring other Blue states into this gunfight.

🇩🇪🇺🇦President Zelenskyy: I met with Friedrich Merz. I thanked Germany for its military support, primarily for the air defense systems that protect Ukrainians from attacks every single day.

Make no mistake: Alligator Alcatraz IS a concentration camp, and they absolutely ARE planning genocide and ‘ethnic cleansing.’ As a white person, i don’t know what I can do to help, but if all I have is my voice, I will make sure it’s heard.

“I told you once that I was searching for the nature of evil. I think I’ve come close to defining it: a lack of empathy. It’s the one characteristic that connects all the defendants. A genuine incapacity to feel with their fellow man. Evil, I think, is the absence of empathy.” GM Gilbert

My first encounter with Lawrence Tribe was through his Constitutional law treatise when I was a first year law student. He is as brilliant as they come. So when he speaks I listen. Here is what saying: “We are on our own, nothing,no one is coming for the salvation of this Democracy”. It must be us.

Because Americans have a short memory, we just needlessly committed an act of war, without authorization from congress, on an enemy who brought the entire occupying military of this nation in Iraq to its knees using IEDs. Buckle up.

Every time Republicans talk about the Iranian nuclear threat, remember: It’s a threat Trump made worse by abandoning by an effective JCPOA policy for reasons he’s never been able to explain.
