The President of the United States just called for Democratic members of Congress to be executed. "HANG THEM", he posted.
If you're a person of influence in this country and you haven't picked a side, maybe now would be the time to pick a fucking side.

As news breaks that Trump is federalizing the Illinois National Guard, keep in mind that ICE is already terrorizing Chicagoans. ICE raided an apartment complex, which led to American citizens being pulled out of their homes and children being zip-tied together.

Let me say what the President won't: Domestic violence is not okay. It's immoral, illegal and abusive, and no real man is okay would do it, approve of it, or minimize it.
Trump minimizes domestic abuse during a talk at the Museum of the Bible: "Things that take place in the home, they call crime ... If a man has a little fight with the wife, they say this was a crime, see?"

The Rule of Law Is Dead in the US
The rule of law presupposes that there are rules that provide a consistent, repeatable, and knowable set of outcomes. That’s no longer the case.

1. Tax cuts that almost exclusively go to the rich
2. Spending cuts that cut programs almost exclusively used by the poor
3. Tariffs, which take a bigger share of the paycheck of working and middle class Americans.
It adds up to a striking redistribution from poor to rich.

The idea that only Democrats use nationwide injunctions is false. The reason we don’t have student debt forgiveness from President Biden is because Republicans got a nationwide injunction.
This isn’t about partisanship—it’s about power and who’s willing to use it.

Make no mistake, the SCOTUS decision about birthright citizenship IS ALSO ABOUT *birthright citizenship.*
The Court is using nationwide injunctions as the tail, wagging the dog, to take us back to an Antebellum view of citizenship.
That way led to war once.
