The DOJ was created to increase the capacity for federal prosecutions during Reconstruction esp. those to be brought under the newly enacted KuKlux Klan Act.

Now the DOJ is being used to prosecute a storied civil rights organization whose central mission has been to expose & dismantle the Klan.

NEW STUDY: Media coverage of violence against women has reached an all-time low — at only 1.3% of total coverage.

This, at the height of the Epstein scandal.

Say what you will about the worst members of the Roberts Court, but they all make sure their wives are in on the grift.

Jane Roberts, Martha Alito and Ginni Thomas are equal partners with their husbands in the grand project of destroying the United States and enriching themselves in the process.

70% of Minnesotans do NOT want copper nickel mining near the Boundary Waters.

The Senate has a chance to do right by them by leaving the mining moratorium in place.

SENATOR HOLDS THE FLOOR TO DEFEND THE BOUNDARY WATERS YouTube video by Senator Tina Smith

I’m holding the Senate floor tonight in protest of legislation that would allow a copper-nickel sulfide mine on the doorstep of the Boundary Waters.

Not this mine. Not this place.

Since they’re abusing the Congressional Review Act to get around the filibuster, I am reserving some of my time so I can make closing remarks in the morning before the final vote. Maybe they’ll listen to reason after a night’s sleep.

Stay tuned.

Save the Boundary Waters.

Contrary to public perception a huge % of pregnant teenagers in the 1990s were impregnated by adult men. The younger they were, the larger the average age gap between mother and father was. Fixing teen pregnancy was in part a clampdown on statutory rape. That's what conservatives want to reverse.

I paid attention. The folks who harangued me for having a Harris lawn sign (but claimed not to be pro Trump) have mostly posted landscapes and lifestyle musings since the inauguration.

We Have 2 Weeks to Stop Trump From Committing New Atrocities It is up to the American people, and our elected representatives, to use every legal means available—from impeachment to protest.

Rarely has a people had such an *opportunity* to stop the evils of their government as we do right now. If we impeach and remove Trump, we will avert additional crimes against humanity. If we do not, history will judge us harshly. All of us. Yes, even me and you.

In addition to not understanding how this administration continues in its insanity, I will never understand how legacy media presented it like it could be proven sane. Every damn time.

There’s actually no reason Raskin shouldn’t do this. Dems should be doing press hits all the time instead of hiding out.

The Supreme Court Just Condemned Countless Kids to Psychiatric Abuse The court’s 8–1 ruling overturning Colorado’s ban on conversion therapy is a disaster for LGBTQ+ kids—and also for the healthcare profession.

While we wait for the arguments to start, here’s my piece on yesterday’s ruinous decision condemning countless children to abuse and consigning us all to worse health care.
