it's amusing to me to see Trumpers banging on about Bondi orchestrating an Epstein coverup while refusing to devote an extra thought to who she would be trying to protect

Justices Sotomayor and Brown-Jackson have such a DEEPLY TOXIC work environment.
I sincerely hope they have the support they need in this moment.
They worked their entire lives for this opportunity, only to have the (always complicated) Court become…this.
I see and respect their efforts.

Just some creepy armed Mad Max guys trying to gain entry to Dodgers Stadium.
ICE says it wasn’t them. DHS says they were Border Patrol. But honestly who the hell knows? They’ve given permission for any psycho to put on a ski mask, point a gun, grab people & throw them into an unmarked vehicle.

The point is to create a world in which the authoritarians can simultaneously inhabit a position of victim and abuser, creating an imagined threat of persecution and violence in order to persecute and carry out violence.
This is how this always works. We cannot allow this to continue.

It's vital to emphasize that the GOP has been calling for violence against their political opponents for more than a decade now, led by Trump. The violence keeps escalating, and they keep doing it because they're getting results.

I've seen people saying this is due process; being put before a kangaroo court on the charges the regime transparently only invented to smear Garcia's name after his name became public is not "due process". It's still openly fascist dictator shit and I hope people won't be Handing It To Em for this.

One of the most beautiful and powerful poems of queer defiance out there.
Rita Mae Brown wrote "Sappho's Reply" in the aftermath of Stonewall, amid a wave of organizing and confrontation. It's the origin of the rallying cry "An army of lovers shall not fail/cannot lose."
Needed now more than ever

if dems want messaging help, stop telling people you're "fighting back." it sounds like you're being mugged. call off the podcaster search, take your ridiculous money pile and try opening some food banks and free clinics. hurricanes are coming and the feds have no plan. looks like an opening to me.
