Your regular reminder that we desperately need to overturn Citizens United and get big money out of politics.

It is among the worst Supreme Court decisions in history.

It corrupts our political system every day.

"We worked for months, anticipating different scenarios for what might go wrong. Everyone’s reputation and future film festivals were riding on the success of this one."
The San Quentin film festival — which featured films from incarcerated and formerly incarcerated people — was one for the books. "We pulled it off in only seven months."

the point of the ballroom obvs has nothing to do with aesthetics. it's to create an architectural structure to honor the patronage networks that currently dominate US politics. previous WH venues hosted maybe a couple of hundred people; this hosts nearly 1,000 rich donors.

"Government" isn't shutdown. The Trump administration continues to destroy the White House, kidnap people, and take bribes.

The only thing "shutdown" is the branch of government that could stop Trump (Congress), which is odd because Republican-controlled Congress is too craven to do that anyway.

#ICYMI: Among the citizens detained by immigration agents are nearly 20 children, including two with cancer.

This man is not well. And very dangerous.
Stephen Miller on Fox threatens to arrest JB Pritzker for "seditious conspiracy" and says, "to all ICE officers: you have federal immunity in the conduct of your duties. And anybody who lays a hand on you or tries to stop or obstruct you is committing a felony."

I've known too many dumb young marines to care that Platner was a dumb young marine, saw a context-free tottenkopf tattoo parlor flash, and got the 'sick skull tat, bro' in Croatia.

I care that upon finding out as an adult that he had a nazi tattoo he didn't immediately, horrified, book a removal.

✅⚖️ One of the clearest amicus briefs in the tariff case at the Supreme Court from small businesses. There are many reasons given here for why the U.S. president doesn't have unilateral power to turn tariffs on and off "at a whim."

When dressing up as a Nazi for Halloween is even remotely acceptable then you know as a country we have lost the plot.

Saying that someone doesn’t deserve to be a senator isn’t canceling them, that is the public opinion candidates are subject to in a democracy.
