Look, Chuck Schumer is not my favorite person or anything, but I'm having flashbacks to 15 years ago when all the progressives were tearing down Harry Reid for insufficiency until he morphed into Fightin' Harry shortly before he retired. 1/x

"Do not comply in advance" applies to rhetoric. Why are leftists convincing other leftists on here to just lie down and assume the fascists have already won?

I understand that a lot of reactions are going to be along the lines of “well they’re just going to claim literally any protest is non-peaceful” and I’m sure they will do that in some cases
but these kinds of TROs have actually made a difference in other places
don’t hand it to them preemptively

If you want better policy, elect more Democrats. Every race, every year, every place. This dumbass solution is the only one that works.
The advanced version is "also, elect better Dems whenever you can". It requires holding two ideas in your head at the same time so many struggle with it

The VA senate got to these today, and all passed as expected
Abortion rights: 21-18
Post-incarceration voting rights: 21-18
Gay marriage: 26-13
Redistricting: 21-18
April 21st is the first eligible Tuesday, so that’s my guess for referendum EDay

the four VA constitutional amendments passed the HoD
Abortion rights: 64-34
Post-incarceration voting rights: 65-33
Gay marriage: 67-31
Redistricting: 62-33-1
Think the earliest referendum Election Day would be April 21, so early voting would start in early March

This is a good thread to read if your hair is on fire.
the question to ask about this is, okay, he wants to cancel the midterms. how does he get the VA state board of elections to cancel the midterms? how does he get the georgia board of elections to do it? how does he convince republican house members to quit their jobs and give up their paychecks?
Trump says a lot of deranged shit, but, per this Reuters article — and the threats of invoking the Insurrection Act in Minnesota this morning — he is very clearly exploring how to cancel the midterms.

Laughs hollowly in Hillary
The core truth of the Trump era, and the one that journalism is forbidden from stating out loud, is that Trump has gathered around him a constituency of the country's worst people.
That's what most distinguishes them -- not economic status, age, where they live, anything else. It's shittiness.

We've known that cops lie for >125 years:
1899, Earl Rogers' closing statement defending Charles F. Mootry for murdering his [Mootry's] wife:
“My friends of this jury, you cannot hang even such a man as Mootry on the testimony of a pimp, a prostitute and a policeman.”
Mootry was acquitted.
