Can’t believe the whole country has to suffer through the return of Dickensian childhood diseases because the worst, most ignorant attention-demanders decided other people’s expertise makes them feel bad

Elijah has a clean bill of health, and is really coming out of his shell. And he's so cuddly! (That look is because I called his name to get him to look towards the camera. "What?!")
He still has another round of shots and a snipping before he's ready to look for his people...

The subtle implication that Trump v. U.S. has always been law and that a president's official acts weren't considered prosecutable when Smith started is disgustingly dishonest.
You’ve gotta be kidding me.
This WaPo editorial presents a misleading revisionist history of Special Counsel Jack Smith’s criminal cases against Trump.
Then it has the gall to compare that to Trump’s overt targeting of his perceived enemies.
Really embarrassing stuff.

Kavanaugh Arrests
Holy hell. DHS just openly stated that its agents use “reasonable suspicion” to make ARRESTS. This is blatantly unconstitutional. The Supreme Court is clear that you need probable cause to arrest someone, as opposed to stop them to ask them a question or two. This is huge b/c…

Kavanaugh Arrests
This thread is amazing.
The conversation between Klein and Coates showed me that a lot of people who screech about “infighting” on the left aren’t aware of the fact that marginalized people have been forced to learn how to regulate their emotions during conflict, and so, are better able to hear what’s actually being said.

I mean yes this is funny, but the fact that these unconstitutional stormtroopers are so directionless that they literally stand around waiting for random nonwhite delivery guys to bike past them is just pathetic. No mandate, no mission, no clue. Just racism.
ICE attempted
and failed to disappear a food delivery guy.
It needed to be scored.

Special case: If you see ICE heading towards a group of people, loudly fan-girl / boy-ing at them is a great way to raise the alarm while confusing the issue.
if you work for ICE you’re evil. if you cheer ICE on, you’re evil. ICE has no positive value in this country. it’s just an outlet for people’s worst, most racist and violent impulses.
