The same people who don't believe in white privilege are not worried at all about being disappeared by ICE.

Well, now we know why JD Vance met with the Pope. Trump's administration obviously needed some advice on how to cover up for a pedofile. 😉

Serious question. If Republicans can ignore the Constitution and their responsibility to uphold it, then why is anyone respecting the authority of the President? If the Constitution is no longer relevant, then neither is Congress or the President.

This is an article @nytimes.com decided they should prioritise today. Because, you know, there's nothing else really important happening to report on?

Well, giving billionaires permission to destroy everything was hidden in the fine print in all those terms of service and privacy policies you agreed to without reading.
Whoops!

They want to build resorts on the graves of children.
Read that again and then ask yourself,
a) Who would want to do that?
b) Who would want to go there?

If politicians are going to make things hard for you, make things hard for them. They still need to eat and drink. They still need workers to do things for them. They still occasionally have to go out in public.
Get in their way.

Who is there to enforce a court ruling on this? All I'm aware of is an interim FBI director who only has a couple days remaining.
The President can't unilaterally abolish USAID, which is mandated by Congress, 22 USC §6563, and is an "independent establishment," id citing 5 USC §104.
USAID continues to exist as much as the Social Security Administration does. The President is violating the law and the Constitution.

If Trump, Musk, and the crew abolish USAID, NED, and other such entities, can those entities be re-established by a future administration? It is only February 2025, but Americans ought to be thinking about “after.”

Holding a glamorous awards night with rich celebrities while a corporate coup is literally destroying democracy and wiping its ass on the US Constitution, is the perfect metaphor for the last 10 years.

Remember when Dr Phil became famous for helping people?
If you thought Trump would make a big showing of targeting immigrants — you’d be correct. With Dr. Phil happily obliging. www.reuters.com/world/us/tv-...

Just a reminder if you are engaging with MAGA. You already gave Trump a chance. You put up with him as president for four years. You remained civil and engaged in 'reasoned' debate for 10 years.
You don't have to be patient, tolerant or civil anymore. They chose fascism. BLOCK THEM.

I'm trying to think of any other scenario where an unelected official giving a Nazi salute in the Capitol would be a) allowed to stay and b) brushed off as nothing to worry about.

There is no debate. Do you think neo-N*zis saw that and thought, “Dang, those salutes were so close but not exact. It must’ve been random.” The salutes got the meaning across to those for whom they were intended. Sickening.

It's difficult to overstate just how much professional journalists have been trained to fear defamation lawsuits and how much it has impacted the ability to tell the truth
