If Supreme Court outcomes are now statistically predictable based on wealth, what does “equal justice under law” even mean anymore? And what, if anything, checks that drift?
Supreme Court’s major shift towards the rich mapped out by experts
An extensive new study from a team of Ivy League economists has uncovered just how much the Supreme Court has shifted towards favoring the wealthier side in any given case, with a New York Times…

Rep from Venezuela calls upon the UNSC to uphold international law and prevent the US from colonizing nations and conducting further armed action against other states - messaging to the world that law is optional.

The military is well aware of what an illegal order is. If they are not familiar with what defending America against enemies foreign and domestic means, they all need to be chaptered out. This is not about a convicted felon president anymore.

Hard to treat Trump as a reasonable person when he prefers jerking off to YMCA rather than respecting whatever the UNSC is playing....

The notion that Mark Kelly committed sedition by telling troops to follow only legal orders is insane

And Hegseth's attempt to take away his retirement pay because he exercised his First Amendment rights to ensure our troops FOLLOW THE LAW is vindictive

Hopefully Kelly will challenge its legality
This is designed to have a chilling effect on all retired service members. The message is that if you speak out, you risk your retirement pay.

Trump just said "all" of Venezuela's oil must be made accessible to US oil companies. Trump wants to emulate Putin's model: Authoritarian, expansionist rulers carving up their regions and distributing the spoils of conquest to friendly oligarchs. 1/

Trigger warning ⚠️

We're living at a time where violence towards Hispanics is ramping up.

This murder by law enforcement should be met with reactions across the country!

Please share the name & story of Xavier Guadalupe Hernandez.

The President calling us animals has deadly consequences!
