The fact drug dealers and strippers will feed a starving baby over the church is the reason Jesus flipped tables and hung out with outcasts and sinners.

It’s all workshopped on Black communities first. We told you to end qualified immunity. But you were all too scared to look like you weren’t “backing the blue.”

Democrats target federal officials accused of civil rights violations in new legislation
Lawmakers are launching a new effort to close a legal loophole that means federal officials, including law enforcement agents, cannot be sued for constitutional violations.

Before the midterms of 1866, President Andrew Johnson called his congressional opponents traitors and said they should be hanged.
Voters were so profoundly moved by his words... that they gave his opponents a supermajority in Congress, and the nation got the Fourteenth Amendment.

I am eager to criticize any justice at any time, but I think I understand the shadow docket pretty well and I think Jackson did damn near as much as she could have done here to support what we now know is her ultimate position — opposing the stay request in the SNAP benefits case.

Beware of incorrect memes attacking some Senators who voted NO, including Gary Peters (MI) & Brian Schatz (HI). They often exclude Tim Kaine (VA) who did vote YES.
These are the 8 people who voted YES. No Vote Schumer is to blame, too, for allowing it. Let's spank or thank the correct Senators!

“Structural ignorance.” Yes.
Public health depends on citizens accepting scientifically-grounded guidance. When official institutions produce politically-determined science and independent verification infrastructure is eliminated, the capacity for evidence-based health policy collapses, writes Renée DiResta.

The reason they’re trying to break everything so fast is that they know they’re likely in for a historic loss in the midterms (even with their current redistricting bullshit).
Winning state and local elections and getting a House majority (at minimum) is our priority right now.
