A few reminders about the SCOTUS immunity decision for Presidents:

It does not provide immunity for prior crimes.

It does not provide immunity to the President's cabinet.

Similar to Roe v. Wade, it can be overturned in the future.

It’s amazing how fast they can build a concentration camp: “Alligator Alcatraz”— but they can’t manage to fix a levee, fund a hospital, or get clean water to poor communities.

Today, we honor the brave men & women who gave their lives in service to this nation.

As we reflect, we must also reckon with the reality that many of those freedoms are under threat.

Let us not just honor the fallen with words, but with action. Let us defend the democracy they died to protect.

Hey MAGA:

Just because you don’t like what money was spent on doesn’t mean the spending is fraudulent.

The government, Elon Musk, and DOGE haven’t shown evidence of fraud against USAID in court.

Please pick up a dictionary.

SHUTDOWN 3/15
Share. Repost, spread the word. No one makes a dime on March 15. Let’s shut it down for the day. It’s a Saturday so most aren’t working. SHUTDOWN ONLY WORKS IF WE ALL PARTICIPATE.

Earnest post, but: a thing I like here is it’s okay to have moments of happiness in public without being broadly scolded, and I believe that sustaining this kind of humanity will be very important as we resist fascism.

We have to sustain each other. Making joy isn’t denial, it’s how we will survive

This is how you say “go fuck yourself sideways with a porcupine” in inspector general speak.

Going to be interesting to see how the administration responds

If your spouse needs a safe word with her friends to protect herself from you, you should be in therapy.

Or in prison.

Not the Secretary of Defense.
