Created out of nothing by an offhand comment in a 19th Century #SCOTUS case & its been ruining this country ever since.

We abolished slavery but corporate "people" can OWN other corporate "people". Then they can pick them apart, take loans against them, or kill them.

Corporate “personhood” was never meant to serve as a constitutional doctrine for political rights.

The Constitution was written for people — living, breathing citizens — not artificial entities.

Black people and women fit this description and should have been included.

In the 1800s, courts treated corporations as “artificial persons” to:
• own property
• enter contracts
• sue and be sued
• be held liable

1st to reverse in the Supreme Court is that artificial personhood includes free speech.
Next? Corporations don’t have to answer anything per 5th amendment?

Count on local #newspapers poetically not owned by huge media conglomerates to fight on behalf of their city & region instead of their advertisers.

If she's guilty she should get the punishment appropriate to the crime. We should see a full trial with no shenanigans. Even though she's a #Democrat.

See how easy that is, #MAGA #Republicans?

Yeah we're stuck with him until Jan 2029. But this could actually fracture #MAGA & put him squarely into neutered powerless #LameDuck mode. If #Republicans do as bad in 2026 as is being predicted, it will also be the harbinger of doom to his legacy even among Rs.

Will be hilarious if the way the timing on trigger dates for the #Prop50 districts means #California gets its #gerrymandered extra #Democratic districts and #Texas doesn't. 300+ Democratic #USHouse #majority, here we come!

I think you need to workshop this line of argument, maybe Megyn Kelly can help you out... (although I do see lots of genocide apologists trotting out "intent")

Most experts agree it's a #genocide.

(PS: the intent is obvious regardless of Bibi's lies, actions matter)
Why did genocide scholars association say Israel’s war on Gaza is genocide?
The world’s leading genocide scholars have declared that Israel’s war on Gaza meets the legal definition of genocide.

There it is. At least I know my "arguing in bad faith" radar is still pretty well-tuned. It is a genocide by every definition. You are defending war crimes, or at the very least excusing them.

Whey they came for the Palestinians you didn't acknowledge the genocide because you aren't Palestinian...

I mean I think he may be technically correct since Trump was a NYC Democrat while he was galavanting with Epstein...

Does this geography & history spring from nothing in 1948? Because I'm pretty familiar with it.

I'm judging the Bibi administration & the IDF that follows its war-crime orders. I know the vast majority of Israelis oppose the genocide in Gaza because they constantly protest it.

I also trust judges.

#MAGA people aren't normal #politicians. They've perfected pointing hungry #leopards at their own faces & being genuinely surprised to get eaten.

Plus #Trump has done things that would end other pols careers over & over with no consequence. They learned it from watching him.
