You do you, Jupiter.

However, if you could *try* to aim in the direction of the White House, we’d all be very grateful.

It’s incredible that the President of the United States is openly flirting with suspending Habeas Corpus, disappearing people left and right, arresting judges and politicians, accepting ludicrous bribes from foreign countries, and people are still trying to normalize this shit.

"38 of 43 experts cut last month from boards that review science and research in NIH laboratories are female, Black or Hispanic.

"The scientists typically serve five-year terms and were not given a reason for their dismissal..."

weird, what could explain this
Adolf Hitler's “Mein Kampf” is still on U.S. Naval Academy shelves. “I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings” and “Memorializing the Holocaust” are not.

An order by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s office led to a purge of books that are critical of racism — but preserved volumes defending white power.

Brad Schimel wants to bring back the 1849 law that bans all abortions with no exceptions.

He let domestic abusers walk with no jail time.

And he’s the one who let 6,000 rape kits sit untested for two years.

That’s Brad Schimel. Too extreme for WI. VOTE Susan Crawford.

I don’t care what Donald Trump says about me. I wear his scorn as a badge of honor.

But one lawyer — or even a thousand lawyers — won’t solve this problem alone. It will take the civic courage of thousands of leaders and millions of voters. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/trum...
