People who would frown slightly (indicating extreme displeasure) at any oath saltier than "that's an interesting choice" are holding signs saying "Fuck ICE." ❤️

It's astonishing to see the most plain-vanilla people in the world get radicalized by the brutality of this regime

A lot of those anti-Trump conservative operatives are a big part of the reason we're in this jackpot. They paved the way for this by Neo-cons elected in the '90's and Tea Party candidates 10-15 years later. It's nice they feel bad now, but, they're a big part of why we're here.

The anger people have at media institutions and college administrators can’t be detached from this, it’s not just that people can perceive cowardice it’s that they see others with more on the line doing more to stand up for their values than the people who have been trusted to safeguard things

Ah yes, forgot we still have the death penalty for suspected drug trafficking, as opposed to before, when the Coast Guard would intercept the boats and arrest the alleged traffickers.

When did that change, exactly?

NEW: Maryland Democrats are moving swiftly toward redrawing the state’s congressional map to counter GOP gerrymanders.

The latest? House representatives just introduced a measure outlining a plan for new maps, and a committee is slated to hear the redistricting bill next Monday.
