Charlie Kirk’s assassination is a call to action for people of goodwill to take a stand against all forms of violence. Paraphrasing Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., we must all learn to live together as brothers (and sisters), or we will all perish together as fools.

A bad President, for
instance, has the power to do what? What can he not do? If he wanted to
revolutionize this government, he could easily do it with this ponderous
power; it would be an auxiliary power. He could cry “havoc, and let slip the
dogs of war,”29 and say to the conspirators: “I am with you. If you
succeed, all is well. If you fail, I will interpose the shield of my pardon, and
you are safe. If your property is taken away from you by Congress, I will
pardon and restore your property. Go on and revolutionize the government;
I will stand by you.” The bad man will say or might say this. I am not sure
but we have got a man now who comes very near saying it. Let us have done
with this pardoning power. We have had enough of this. Pardoning! How
inexpressibly base have been the uses made by this power—this beneficent
power. It has been that with which a treacherous President has trafficked.
He has made it the means of securing adherents to himself instead of
securing allegiance to the government.

A new analysis finds that projected growth from the GOP budget's tax cuts would only cover 2.7% of their $3.8T cost.

That's nowhere close to the cuts "paying for themselves." 

Notice how nobody ever asks, "but how will we pay for it" when it comes to trickle-down economics?

How about some basic rules?
--All law enforcement officers should wear identification
--No law enforcement officers should be allowed masks
--All law enforcement officers should wear and use body cams
...oh and...
--All law enforcement officers should understand, respect & follow the law

The judiciary has options to keep pressing the Trump admin on Abrego Garcia’s case - CREW | Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington If the government does not comply with the court order in Abrego Garcia’s case to facilitate his return, it would set a dangerous precedent.

NEW: It's unclear what the Trump administration is doing to comply with the Supreme Court's directive to “facilitate” Abrego Garcia’s return.

But what is clear: court orders are not optional and the judiciary is not powerless in forcing compliance.

That Cardboard Box in Your Home Is Fueling Election Denial A previously unreported boom in profits for the shipping supply giant Uline has provided the funds for a deeply conservative Midwestern family to bankroll anti-democracy causes around the country.

Much of the cardboard and paper goods strewn about our homes are sold by a single private company, with its name, Uline, stamped on the bottom.

Few Americans know that a multibillion-dollar fortune made on those ubiquitous products fuels far-right candidates across the country.

Lawyer for U-M protester detained at airport after spring break trip with family Dearborn lawyer says feds tried to seize his cellphone at Detroit Metro Airport as he returned from spring break trip with his family.

“While in the interrogation room, Makled said, a man in plain clothes entered and began speaking to him. He said he recalls the man telling him: ‘We know you're a lawyer. We know you take on big cases.’”

Why Cory Booker’s Speech Matters Booker didn’t “accomplish” anything. He was a voice of one crying in the wilderness. And that’s how you build a dissident movement: with simple acts of witness.

"The catch is that in order to get attention, you have to be terrible. You have to lie or embrace evil. In the attention economy there is enormous demand for civic blasphemy. What’s hard is getting attention for messages about truth, or virtue, or love."

Dear America. Due process is not something that doesn’t apply if you did a crime. It’s literally how we determine you did a crime. Due process is not just the ‘way’ of the justice system. It’s the ‘why’ as well.

Due process means we all matter or none of us do. Act accordingly
