Parts of the Constitution were erased from the Library of Congress website, including the section featuring the foreign emoluments clause.
The removal was blamed on a "coding error."
Here's a reminder of what the clause says, just in case Congress ever decides to enforce it...

Planes are colliding, but our reality TV personality and avocational stripper Secretary of Transportation, Sean Duffy, remains laser-focused on what matters: rainbow crosswalks. This administration is always more interested in trolling than doing its job.

The stories we tell matter. I know this not from watching but from memory. I was just a child, held behind barbed wire in a U.S. internment camp, when an atomic bomb obliterated Hiroshima—killing members of my family.

Article 1, Section 9 & 10 have been removed from the official Govt website on the US Constitution. Among numerous points:
•Section 9 forbids suspending The Privilege of the Writ of Habeas Corpus
•Section 10 forbids ex post facto laws
This better be a joke. Ignoring these is full blow dictatorship

FIFA is considering moving the World Cup games to Canada in response to escalating fascism in the US.
Good. They should. And the Olympics should follow suit.
Refuse to normalize or reward fascism.
The US is not a safe place to visit & we should all vote with our dollar and go elsewhere.

If your government brags it doesn’t need probable cause to detain you, congratulations you’ve crossed the line from democracy into authoritarianism. This isn’t law enforcement. It’s constitutional vandalism masquerading as patriotism. And it will not stop at immigrants.

Healthcare is a basic human right.
Disabled people shouldn’t have to “prove they matter” to access care.
Failing to provide basic care to everyone only creates more sickness and disability.
You want to make a population healthier?
Give them medical care.

Understanding that we are in a moment of collapse is not doomerism, it's what we need. Yes this is the final stage of the American empire during climate change & mass death is part of ir. Look clearly to our totalitarian rule. You can do nothing to combat what has come for us without looking at it.

Women are not free if there is no penalty for trafficking and raping us. It’s not about glass ceilings and hook up culture. We are literally not full citizens if crimes against us are less important than the money, power, gender, and influence of our attackers.

I think more than anything else the idea of gender-segregated *chess* gives the game away that the real purpose of gender-segregated contests is to protect men from the possibility of losing to a woman.
IT’S FUCKING CHESS
What POSSIBLE advantage, even in the warped mind of a transphobe, could being transgender give you at chess? They’re so nakedly hateful they just can’t stand any trans person winning anything ever. Pathetic.
