"The implication...is that not only noncitizens but also U.S. citizens could be taken off the streets, forced onto planes, and confined to foreign prisons with no opportunity for redress if judicial review is denied unlawfully before removal. History is no stranger to such lawless regimes..."

🚨This. Is. How. You. Do. It. 🚨

This isn’t rocket science. He lied. He pushed erroneous garbage without knowing facts, knowing full well his base will never pay attention to the clarification.

My first principle for the new year: When it comes to issues involving democracy, I do not seek compromise with Republicans. There is no middle ground between a firefighter and an arsonist.

fighting online with Some Guy for over an hour before he finally says “okay, that’s fair” is one of the more satisfying things that can happen on social media

Pretty certain Jesus would like me more than like most people in my hometown

WE ARE STILL IN THIS.
Wipe your tears.
This is the difficult business of hope and defying expectation.
We do not give up.
We run through the tape.

Y’all aren’t allowed to throw in the towel until I do. 😉

Big breath. Locked in. Let’s do this.

You know the state of the world is bad when you start to have the teeth-falling-out dreams again

Behold, the leaders of the “party of law and order.” The most blatantly lawless and comically corrupt major politician in history and the Right’s latest icon of white vigilante violence.

An excellent reminder of what “law and order” politics has always been about, what “order” it seeks to protect.

I wrote about Elizabeth Warren's recent comments re: the shooting of the United CEO, which I think were pretty sensible. People lose loved ones every day to what she called the "vile practices" of insurance companies; we need to understand that it’s not just guns—policy kills, too.

Kavanaugh does not ever mention those kids who "regret" that their parents took them to the churches where they were abused, which he has funded. Because all of the attacks on trans people are about distracting from the right's organized predation on children.

"When you're 1% of the population, hard to see how the democratic process will protect you." --Sonia Sotomayor

i think this is right and i will observe that this is essentially the position the court took in plessy v. ferguson, which held that the constitution has no bearing on inequalities of social power

Law has never been “real.” Law is, (and has always been) about power, relationships, and people’s beliefs in structure. And I’ll be damned if I let people give up to the nihilist vision of Trump without fighting for the ideal of a nation of laws. The game is not over yet. Stop despairing and fight.

"we shouldn't do the right thing for minorities because it's unpopular"

Some of y'all would've thrown the civil rights movement under the bus.

A whole lot of politics is, I suspect, driven by people unhappy about their lives for fundamentally apolitical reasons looking for a socially acceptable place to direct their anger and frustration.

What is the efficiency brotherhood going to do about the inefficient driver taking up two parking spots on my street

At some point in Matt gaetz’s nomination process can someone ask where he gets his Botox done in dc? Need to avoid
