During my 50 years in this supposedly “evenly divided” country, we’ve had a liberal-majority SCOTUS for exactly 0 years.
The idea that America "swings back and forth" is just right-wing marketing BS. What we’ve seen in the US is a relentless 75-year erosion of civil rights and public power.

The still-dominant position in the Democratic Party and associated consultants/pollsters is that X is where Real Americans are, and they are Persuadable—at least if politicians don’t sound Left and Woke—and this outreach is so important it’s worth the bigotry, child exploitation, and deep fake porn.
its funny watching dem politicians switch up their messaging between this app and child porn apps because all youre doing when you soften your language is piss off your voters in an attempt to appeal to a bunch of pedophiles who will never vote for you anyway

I guess we’re about to see if the Republicans would rather go to war with Europe than stand up to Donald Trump.
Treaties are federal law. As a signatory to the 1949 NATO treaty, the U.S. is barred by law from attacking another NATO member. Therefore, an order to draw up plans to attack Greenland is an illegal one. Military leaders are obligated to disobey illegal orders.
Lawyers correct me if I'm wrong.

"According to sources, Trump has asked Joint Special Operations Command (JSOC) to prepare the invasion plan, but it is being resisted by the joint chiefs of staff on the grounds that it would be illegal - and not be supported by Congress."

NYC: chanting the name Renée Good. Signs reading “Abolish ICE.” A sign even calling for Trump to be put in jail.
Anti-ICE marches are making it clear, people are done being scared, done being erased, done pretending this is normal.

The reason so many ICE agents are willing to break the law is that their leaders have created a permission and protection structure for doing so. ICE is killing & kidnapping citizens because the Republican Party has given them the green light. If you break the law the president will just pardon you!
Another US citizen being abducted.
She then escapes, and they nab her again.
How many more of these scenes can we watch?
This isn't immigration control.
It is state-sponsored kidnapping.

There was amazing restraint and heroism by the U.S. Capitol Police and the Metropolitan Police Department on Jan. 6, 2021. They were viciously attacked by rightwing extremists and rioters incited by Trump.

The reactionary centrist logic is simple: if the left does something bad it’s the left’s fault, and if the right does something bad, it’s also the left’s fault for making them do it. It’s a simple formula and once you see it every one of their arguments is the same

I can't describe how bad Minneapolis feels right now. My neighbors are pulling kids out of school. The public schools are offering remote learning until 2/12. We are having conversations in our alleys about how to protect ourselves. It feels like a military occupation with a blockade.
