"One case involved the sole African American attorney working for the Mississippi State Senate, who was paid less than half of what her white colleagues made. As clear-cut a case of disparate racial treatment you could find.

The Trump regime has fired an estimated 70 immigration judges since February. This is happening as immigration courts face a record backlog of cases.

Remember: it was never about legal immigration. It was always about cruelty.

Attention, historians of Watergate! I'm getting flashbacks from the months of back and forth, reversals and blunders over release of White House records. What stage are we at with the Epstein Files? Drip, drip, drip, as we used to say. @kevinmkruse.bsky.social @hcrichardson.bsky.social

There has never been a clearer example of the fact that we do not have a legislature in the United States right now. Trump tells them to vote no, so they all vote no. Then Trump changes his mind and they all change their votes. That is autocracy. Vote them out!

When power is used without transparency, public safety erodes, a well-documented tool of autocratic governments. Everyone wants violent offenders removed, but indiscriminate raids and unmarked paramilitary teams make communities less safe, as Gov. Stein warns in this video.

The California National Guard was never yours to control.

Your takeover brought chaos to LA and diverted troops from firefighting, anti-drug trafficking, and public safety missions.

This has never been about "law and order" for Donald Trump. Just a sick power trip.
Trump: "I love Los Angeles. If they want help during this, I would love to send in the National Guard or whoever is necessary to help them."

Tubby wants to be governor & probably & I bet his pollster told him he loses to Doug Jones if he opposes it.

If I’m right, think about how big that is: Covering for Trump would put Alabama governor in play.
Breaking on MS NOW: Republican Sen. Tommy Tuberville says he'll support the resolution to release the Epstein files if it makes it to the Senate.

"Sure, I'd vote for it," he tells NBC News. "…the Democrats have been yelling about it. Let's just shut them up."

ICEstapo detained 81 people in Charlotte, NC yesterday.

The internet is littered with videos of them using excessive force and ignoring legal documentation provided by the detainees.

Here’s my advice for ICEstapo:

Take a night off.

Go to the movies.

Watch “Nuremberg”.

Your time is coming.

Let’s be clear: The DOJ has already been subpoenaed. They’re legally obligated to release the full Epstein files—and they’re still dragging their feet.

It’s a shame we’ve even gotten to the point of needing a discharge petition.

i'd say it did. the public put a group of thieves, vandals and extremists in office last november and they promptly went about destroying everything that might work to limit their ability to loot, steal and inflicting pain on the people they hate
This whole NYT account about the weaponization of DOJ is beyond disturbing. Kinda feels like the US government fell in January.
