The fact that this, and every other Trump pardonee who has subsequently broken the law, has not ended Trump's political career, that it barely even registers on the national discourse, underlines just how far we are from a functioning democracy that values accountability.

I've seen people either saying, Oh corny. Or, oh he's just running for President. And my thought is, AWESOME. Let the 2028 Dem Prez primary be about who can fight against Trump and for our democracy and our rights the most effectively and aggressively and let it begin today.
Newsom on ICE action outside his presser: "It's pretty sick & pathetic. It's everything you know about Trump's America & the authoritarian tendencies of the president. Wake up, America. You will not have a country if he rigs this election. You will a president running for a third term. Mark my word"

The idea of civil rights is that all people are equal members of society, and therefore mechanisms that make people unequal are illegitimate. The far right has built a perverse mirror ideology, in which races are known to be unequal, and therefore mechanisms that make us equal are illegitimate.
Their baseline idea is that inequality between peoples is the natural order of things, and so any effort to reduce inequality is immoral and illegal. They're segregationists, and their ideal world is the antebellum South but they'll settle for the "Redeemer" era as Reconstruction fell to Jim Crow.

This is basically the part 2 of my last political post. This is why “lesser of two evils” is no longer an option, because the lesser evil is dependent on the greater one to stay in power. There is no actual interest in public servitude, they just want to hold the position. ALL masks have come off.
In a leaked recording, State Senator Elena Parent (D-42) said she’d vote for Republican transgender healthcare bans because trans rights are too “unpopular."

A federal officer cannot be “doxxed.” The public has a right to know who is operating in our government, especially if they have the power to imprison someone.
Acting ICE Director Todd Lyons: "If you look before January 20, and even after January 20, the men & women of ICE did not have to have masks on their face. Me personally, I don't want those officers having to wear masks bc it's hot, it's dangerous. But ICE agents are being doxxed at a horrible rate"

Watch the slow motion: it appears to me that the officers discuss the photographer and reporter before the one on the end fires on them (it looks to me like he's aiming at the camera, not the reporter, but you decide)
