If ‘gang affiliation’ is illegal, why isn’t every Proud Boy and Klan member in prison?

Why?!

I second that emotion!
The problems w Dem “leadership” is not only are they spineless, but they have no clue what to do even if they had a spine.

It’s like being led by Merrick Garland.

Schumer, Durbin, Jeffries and Clark must be replaced by:
H—2 of Crockett, Raskin, Larson
S—2 of Kelly, Booker, Murphy, Merkley, Bennett

One point that's going to get lost in the discussion of #SCOTUS's intervention in the Alien Enemy Act case:

This is the *value* of nationwide injunctions. Without them, you have to go district by district, and the government can try to play games by moving people to districts without relief (yet).

This woman survived domestic terrorism -- not from street gangs but, rather, from corporate terrorists. Excellent speech.

Dear technology. Stop trying to anticipate what I type, what I love and what I think. I’m a stubborn, unpredictable bastard and, no matter how hard you try, you will never truly understand what I am about.

Odd, how the United States doesn't have enough money to give sick veterans healthcare, impoverished seniors Social Security, or hungry schoolkids lunches, but it does have enough money to pay a Central American dictator millions to torture American residents in his brutal concentration camp.

KIDNAPPING!
Stop calling it deporting, so MAYBE more Americans will get it. "Deporting" is sending someone back, after due process, to the country they came from, where they arrive a free person. This is human trafficking to a foreign torture prison for the rest of their lives. GET THE LANGUAGE RIGHT.

Confession: Even though I studied history throughout college, I was an apolitical person, surfacing only in the face of Nixon's and current destruction of our freedoms.

I have to ask now, have we put up with a two-party system too long? Why are Independents blocked from primaries in 15 states?

Just spent 2 hrs on the sidewalk in front of my local supermarket w/my placard. Managers came out at least 3 times & told me to leave. I politely reminded them I was within my rights & that 🇺🇸 is about freedom. @therickwilson.bsky.social @reedgalen.bsky.social @profgalloway.com #PaHouse #PaSenate

Federal court lays into DOJ:

"This claim is either an effort to prevaricate or is deeply disingenuous. ... preposterous on its face."

Detecting a pattern here?

One of my sons was held in Chicago today after coming back from an international trip. My other son was not held from his connecting flight and I am pretty sure it was due to different last names. Thankfully, he had his passport and we told him how to handle the situation. Scary times.

Remaining quiet in turbulent times is a luxury that perceived privilege and intellectual ignorance afford. That passivity is born out of the illusion of safety.

(Trust me, none of us is safe.)

A president has no business targeting civil society orgs & let’s be clear—treating Americans as his enemies, not people he has sworn an oath to serve.
DEVELOPING: There is chatter coming out of the White House that as early as next week Donald Trump may issue as many as 5 Executive Orders targeting US-based nonprofits and civil society organizations.

In the past few weeks, the Trump Justice Department dropped or withdrew its involvement in 7 voting rights cases filed under the Biden Administration. Paige and I explain these cases and what they mean about the future of voting rights and federal election law enforcement. youtu.be/4b-h3LnQolk
