The selective prosecution claim will be epic.
The FBI raided Bolton's house after Patel complained at length in his book about Bolton not wanting to hire him during the first Trump administration. Patel who also put Bolton on his published list of enemies, then this morning tweeted about the pending raid. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Check this shit!

Earlier today, ICE tried to break into private property in Lynwood, California — no judicial warrant, no authority. Acting like thugs, not federal agents.

Spoiler alert: Lynwood does not play. This trio of goons got sent packing.

Illinois is launching a first-of-its-kind legal hotline for LGBTQ+ individuals — Illinois Pride Connect.

As the only state in the nation that will provide free legal advice to protect the LGBTQ+ community, we'll help fight ignorance with information and cruelty with compassion.

While Winsome Earle-Sears spends her time cheering on Trump’s reckless trade policies, Virginia’s economy is being left behind.

Virginians deserve a Governor who is focused on growing our economy — not one who is more focused on earning Trump’s approval.

Make sure everyone you know sees or hears about this!

Here are the harms that VOS Selections--lead plaintiff in the challenge to Trump's arbitrary and capricious tariffs--said it was already suffering back in April when it asked for a TRO.

Trump's appeal will be Thursday at 10.

Disagree with Nina on a ton of political tactics for driving action but she's 100% correct here.

Ex. These Friday Amazon "blackouts" where 80% of people just order the next day? Come on.
Hopefully people do understand the importance.

A boycott with an end date does nothing but absorb energy from potential effective boycotts.

Those in Montgomery didn’t abstain from riding the bus for 6 days, they went until their demand was met.

That is the purpose of a boycott.
Is everyone aware of the importance of what @ninaturner.bsky.social is saying here?

STOP WITH THE END DATES!!!

This is authoritarianism
Escalate and intimidate. That is exactly the playbook.

And it concerns me greatly: You know the Stephen Miller types in this administration are just itching for violence - searching, longing for something they can use as pretext for a drastic escalation so they can finally ditch all restraint.
Having now watched the footage and interview two of the members who were there, the amount of armed, masked federal agents surrounding three members of Congress and a mayor outside the ICE facility was totally unnecessary; the only possible reason for it was intentional escalation and intimidation.

Lutnick: "I disagree with that."

Bash: "Well, okay, most economists disagree with you on that and we have seen it passed off time and time again to the American consumer."

Now that the president has rightly made English the national language, Americans who use Latin terms such as stare decisis and habeas corpus should be subject to unprecedented forms of incarceration.

We know this is (barely) coded eugenics for a simple reason: he's not arguing for vaccine mandates. Getting vaccinated is a bare minimum for an individual's health maintanence duty to the larger community. It matters way more than your weight or your exercise routine.
