I don’t know why republicans care about what books kids read if they don’t care if they make it out of school alive.

It ain’t about protecting kids; it’s about protecting power.

And where was Jesus when those children were praying and getting gunned down? Stop sending prayers in place of policy.

I just want to remind you all that states where book bans are common, like FL, TX, SC, TN, IA, UT and others, are home to many people who do support the freedom to read and the First Amendment. It does no good to write off these states and their people, who still deserve our support.

Goldman on Abrego Garcia: "If he had due process he would not have been removed. Then they would've had to go through the process of proving it. This is why due process matters- so you don't make mistakes like this. That you do have a neutral arbiter that decides the law. Not the executive branch."

I'm no lawyer, but it seems like discussing war plans in Signal outside a SCIF is maybe just a little bit worse than using a private server to send emails that weren't even marked as classified. But what do I know.

HEY EVERYONE REMEMBER WHEN TRUMP WAS IMPEACHED FOR DENYING AID TO UKRAINE BECAUSE HE WANTED ZELENSKY TO LIE AND SAY BAD THINGS ABOUT BIDEN AND ZELENKSY WOULDN’T DO IT?

To the DOJ/FBI who remain,

Your new bosses are going to order you to do unconstitutional things. Unlawful things. Things to achieve their fascist agenda.

Claiming "you were only following orders" did not cut it at the Nuremberg trials.

It will not work here either.

Proceed accordingly.

A federal judge has just ordered Musk to get out of Treasury’s computers. We are fortunate there are good lawyers representing democracy. Normally that would end the matter, but in this era there are legit questions about compliance & enforcement. We live on the edge of a constitutional crisis.

The gap between CEO pay and worker pay increases as union membership decreases. It couldn’t be clearer that unions are the counter to anti-worker, greedy corporations. 

It’s time for workers to get their fair share of the profits that THEY create.

I heard RFK Jr. is floating the banning of the polio vaccine so seems like a good time to remind folks that RFK Jr. was vaccinated with this same vaccine & therefore is at no risk of harm himself

Kinda like when he publicly was against the covid vaccine yet privately required his guests to have it🙃

When I was a child, I learned that the Constitution didn’t apply to people like us. I said the Pledge of Allegiance from inside a barbed wire camp, the words “with liberty and justice for all” wholly meaningless.

But I did not give up on America. I’ve spent my life fighting for its ideals.
When we were children, we were taught that no matter how you reached, no matter much wealth and power you accumulated, you were not above the law.

We can no longer teach our children that.

And that's really fucking tragic.

I've been thinking about this poem by Langston Hughes recently and although it was published in 1931, it remains relevant as ever.
