if this Supreme Court nullifies the 14th Amendment then i don't really have any problems with Democratic officials ignoring federal law for the foreseeable future
at that point we're just in a state of exception
A screenshot of a social media post from a parody account styled as a governor’s press office. The post uses all caps and mocks a political figure by describing a fake award in exaggerated, insulting language. Below it is another post sharing a short video clip from a televised event at the Kennedy Center. In the video still a man in a suit is being given a large decorative medal by another man while cameras and a news chyron run along the bottom. The scene takes place on a stage with a blurred backdrop.

The president of the United States is insane. Full stop.
This is how our government has been corrupted:
1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians to office
2) Elected officials rewrite rules in the donors' favor
3) Donors make huge profit
4) Repeat
We must get big money out of politics.
It is the root of our dysfunction.
#GrumpyPolitics Telling troops that they must not follow unlawful orders is not sedition. It is not undermining the President.
Unless the President is giving unlawful orders and knows it. In which case, he might throw a tantrum.
Trump wanted to take social security disability away from disabled people.
The people said no and fought against that.
Trump changed stance on that as well as on #Epstein.
We have power. We are not alone.
Our voice matters.
I am a citizen and so are majority of Somalis in America. Good luck celebrating a policy change that really doesn’t have much impact on the Somalis you love to hate. We are here to stay 💁🏽♀️
would really love it if our elected officials had to publicly define socialism and then explain why they voted against it
Report from Philly circa September: "The Proud Boys - a white supremacist group with a stupid name - planned a rally a block from my house today. The 'belly of the beast' rally. Because apparently that's where I live - the belly of the antifa beast. Whatever the fuck that means. 2 hours before it was supposed to start, the park starts filling up with my neighbors. A drum line shows up. A brass band plays. The anarchists are giving away vegetables and nachos and some artists are selling jewelry. Black leaders give speeches. We chant Breonna Taylor's name. And all the other names. No right-wing rally ever coalesces. There was never room for a critical mass to congregate. A lost-looking man or two walks to the park, doesn't see their people, turns around. A right-wing vlogger trying to debate people is surrounded and walked to the edge of the park. Someone spotted with a handgun is chased through the park, to their car, by over 100 people. The ice cream truck music plays the whole time. The usual guys sets their chess tables and start playing, the crowd of neighbors start to break up. Nazis, we will replace you. We will displace you. We will louder and more numerous. We anti-fascists are full of music and love and nachos. We will always replace you."
There are more of us than there are of them.
We protect us.

DOD contractors “mistakenly” landed on a Mexican beach, declared it US property and planted “restricted area” DOD signs, triggering a tense confrontation with armed Mexican forces.
Mexico removed the signs, insisting the area is theirs.
Yet another example of total incompetence.
Here's a groundbreaking report that examines how countries around the world have successfully expanded abortion access and protected reproductive rights. The reports offer U.S.-based policymakers proven strategies to counter restrictions and treat abortion as essential health care.
The situation in Sudan is horrific — 400,000 people have been killed, over 11 million have been displaced, and 30 million are in urgent need of humanitarian aid.
We must use our full leverage to protect the Sudanese people and end this war now.
NEW POD: I spoke with Juan Montano, a US citizen whose mom was kidnapped by ICE & held in detention for two weeks, and @heidiraltman.bsky.social of @nilc.org to discuss the cruelty of the immigration detention system.

If it made the news at all, that's a win...
White and yellow text on a black background read: “CONGRESSMAN LIEU SECURES $750,000 FOR ROLLING HILLS ESTATES” and “This funding will help Rolling Hills Estates repair storm drains and install a dry-well system to divert stormwater from entering the Los Angeles Harbor.” At the bottom is a picture of water drainage.
Southern California has been experiencing severe rainstorms, which is stress testing our region’s critical infrastructure.
Pleased to announce I fought for and secured federal funding for Rolling Hills Estates to repair and upgrade stormwater resilience projects.
Ellison: Today, you should never get a Republican AG, because they’re not your AG. They’re Leonard Leo’s AG. They’re Donald Trump’s AG. But they are not your AG. They’re not Louisiana’s AG. They’re not Mississippi’s AG. They’re beholden to others.
When a President calls for the death of lawmakers protecting the oath military members take to the Constitution (NOT the President), you are watching a full-blown Constitutional Crisis. This is the ultimate test of our democracy. We cannot look away.
The President is calling for Democratic members of Congress to be hanged. This is deplorable, un-American, & an open invitation to political violence.
Servicemembers take their oath to the Constitution, not to any president. I stand with my colleagues who have honorably served this nation.

I have zero doubt that if Trump could get away with ordering the assassination of his Democratic opponents, he would. Instead, he's trying to get his followers to do it for him. Sick.
Under Trump, masked agents are ripping kids from their parents, pepper spraying moms, & kidnapping teachers from classrooms.
This is horrifying and unacceptable.
Our immigrant families belong here and I'll fight for your rights & dignity.
“Prohibited words and concepts: Equity, diversity, & inclusion; anti-racism; Bias; Critical race theory; implicit bias; oppression; intersectionality; prohibited discriminatory practices; racial privilege; promoting stereotypes based on personal identity characteristics.”
This week, I withdrew from a speaking engagement at a public university because they sent me a list of prohibited “words & concepts.” I will not humor this censorship. It does a disservice to the stories I’m discussing & the audience, who deserve unfettered access to information & conversation.
"I’m not going to give up on the American experiment. As someone who was at both the 1963 March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom and the 1967 March on the Pentagon to protest the war in Vietnam, I believe in public protests and demonstrations."
Trump hikes health care premiums, ICE and Border Patrol terrorize families in Charlotte, Catholic Bishops rebuke Trump on immigration, and legislation to release the Epstein Files is now law.
Here are 3 bad things and 3 good things you need to know to stay up to date and engaged!
There are serious questions surrounding the ICE raid in San Antonio.
Teenagers—even a baby—were caught up in the chaotic scene. There needs to be accountability and transparency.
I am demanding answers from ICE and other agencies, alongside @repcasar.bsky.social
