Fifty years ago Congress used the Speech or Debate clause to expose the Cambodia bombings. I wonder if any congressional reps have considered that in pro forma sessions for the Epstein files?

One point that's going to get lost in the discussion of #SCOTUS's intervention in the Alien Enemy Act case:

This is the *value* of nationwide injunctions. Without them, you have to go district by district, and the government can try to play games by moving people to districts without relief (yet).

Any episode that starts like this will be the most authentic!

Wait till the Mexicans watch the Mexico British bake off episode…

BREAKING: Trump DOJ files another emergency appeal to SCOTUS. This one is fighting a judge's order to have a Maryland man the government admits was *mistakenly* sent to the prison in El Salvador returned to the United States.

a hotdog will not convert someone from MAGA.

I'm sorry but the only reason I'm able to even live the life that I do is because people of all races risked their lives to fight for me. Jailed, beaten, a full on civil war. A block party aint gon cut it.

How do you destroy something that has no single leader? No weak spot to exploit? No single figure to dredge up a ‘friend’ who will conveniently reveal they were ‘always difficult’ at school?

I knew Trudeau was wrapping up. All eyes on the new guy. Looks like he’s not for play either.

THIS IS HUGE! Researchers at Stanford University have developed a dual-antibody treatment that remains effective against ALL SARS-CoV-2 variants by targeting a less-mutable part of the virus. This breakthrough could lead to longer-lasting therapies that OUTPACE viral evolution. 🧪🧵⬇️

You've Persuaded Us Already When it comes to the idea that conservatism has embraced fascism and supremacy, nobody is more persuasive than conservatives themselves. An essay on bullies and the margins of permission in the USA.

"The people who persuaded me that Republicans are fascist are Republicans. What this tells me is that actions are persuasive in ways words are not. I mention this because a lot of people seem to think that what is needed in this moment is persuasion."

The UK monarchy has had its share of crazed hereditary kings too. You don’t actually need a professional shoulder bobber and ribbon cutter.

And the big thing for me is people understanding how we got here so the same mistakes don’t happen again and again :/

It isn’t. I do the indivisible stuff, have all my politicians on my contact list lol. I just also want people to be aware of what they can and can’t do because there’s only so many hours in the day and a gish gallop flurry of attacks happening right now.

Sure but that is the role of the people. Protests etc. That’s the only possible role left to help at this point.

Senator votes are not gerrymandered. House votes certainly are. 7 million decided to stay home because they felt both sides were the same. They never were.

And not academic. My housemate is on disability and my son has an IEP. I was horrified at voters in November and have continued to be there. But yelling at the guy we kneecapped doesn’t help.

That’s understandable but once again, he’s in a position where he can write strongly written letters right now. Voters as a whole made that decision in November.

The senator is in the same exact position you are. This isn’t coming through legislation and as a minority party he can’t even bring legislation up to address it. At most he could filibuster.

You didn’t give him the votes to do anything.

Maria Moe had been held in a low-security women's facility with no disturbance, complaints, or disciplinary record. Trump has held her in solitary confinement for the past four days and plans to send Moe, who transitioned at 15, to a men's prison where she risks facing abuse, assault, and rape.

I only figured it out because I had her in my research searches and clicked on name again and poof.

Sure but it still happened and was still because of voters.

And yeah I know as a white gen x woman the no job done was my group specifically..

7 million of Biden voters from 2020 stayed home. 1/3 of country did not vote. No job done.

People have forgotten that a vote is not for a prom date but your preferred battleground.
