My latest. I hope you read, consider and share.👇

The events of the last 24 hours must serve as a wake-up call for a federal judiciary that has grown too comfortable deferring to the executive branch and too slow to hold it accountable. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/two-...
Two cases and the grease that breaks democracy
The obvious lesson many are drawing is that ordinary citizens are more reliable protectors of democracy than judges in black robes.

Our founders made some pretty big mistakes. One of the worst is the presidential pardon. They couldn't foresee having a maniac like trump as president but still how about some limitations. Now we have proud boys and the like anxious to try to overthrow the government again. A great big OOPS!

This picture perfectly encapsulates this administrations willful ignorance and disdain for anything slightly resembling human decency.

Dear Humans,

Please promise that someday you will prosecute and convict Pam Bondi for her role in violating the Epstein Transparency Act. And don’t send her to a nice prison either. Make it a bad one and bump her head as she gets put into the cop car. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Bondi falsely claimed in her sworn testimony to Congress Wednesday that Jeffrey Epstein’s partner in child *** trafficking was not transferred to a “lower-level” prison, even though her Justice Department moved Ghislaine Maxwell to a “Club Fed”-type facility last summer.

Every step forward gives us a little more hope—and a little more danger. He’d sooner see us erased than ever allow us to see what he is. The only way through this is together, watching each other’s blind spots, refusing to face any of it alone.

Republicans are still trying to pass the SAVE Act—a bill that would make it harder to vote and disenfranchise millions of Americans. Join @redistrictingaction.org and tell your member of Congress to vote no: act.redistrictingaction.org/a/natl-saveact-cte

In just a few moments, I will vote against the so-called SAVE America Act and I am a strong no. That's because this bill would place unnecessary burdens on millions of women and eligible citizens to register to vote and make their voices heard. It is un-American & undermines our democracy.

“Four of my children just evaporated,” Badran said, holding back tears. “I looked for them a million times. Not a piece was left. Where did they go?”

There are no words to adequately describe the evil here.
Israel used weapons in Gaza that made thousands of Palestinians evaporate
US-made thermal weapons burning at 3,500C caused 2,842 people to "evaporate" in Gaza, Al Jazeera investigation finds.

Angus: It’s like having to negotiate with Al Capone in his syphilitic period. You want to shut down the bridge? Go ahead. Every day, 1,500 nurses from Canada go to help keep Detroit’s health care system going. I personally think those nurses should be working in Canada.
