1/ If Justice Barrett thinks we need to go back to what the Founding Fathers intended, I’ve got news for her. Their biggest concern was avoiding tyranny. So they created 3 branches of gov’t & divvied up the power the people (that’s us) were allowing the gov’t to use to create order for all of us.

I think we’ve gotten to the point where the endless footage of fascists attacking people and invading their homes has started to become normalized and holy hell stuff like this is so far beyond okay or tolerable. These people need to go to jail. Abolish, yes, but call for them to be put away.

If the Supreme Court thinks universal injunctions are unconstitutional, to wait until now to say that, in this of all cases, with this of all presidents, is a devastating indictment of both its impartiality and its prudence.

We need a presidential candidate who vows to hold the Supreme Court as currently constituted to have invalidated itself through its open corruption and fraternization with anti-constitutional insurrectionist domestic enemies of the United States, to treat all its rulings as void, and to replace it.

So just to recap: - Parents can force schools to erase LGBTQ+ existence because ??? - The Court's opinion on birthright citizenship is ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. - We're reverting back to the Articles of Confederation ig ??? Except our population is now 340 million and every court might be its own country.

Contrary to popular opinion, not every insane, corrupt, maniacal thing they do is calculated to distract us from a thing you think is more important. They aren’t usually playing 4-D chess here. The majority of time it is just because they’re insane, corrupt and maniacal.

I love how the right is trying to scare us by saying the United States is turning into one of those European countries with great mass transit and free healthcare.

the way calling for the deportation of any visible non-white person is rapidly becoming normalized is a huge cause for concern.

80-90% of polled voters say Direct File is a good thing. It is quite literally one of the most popular government programs in America. If Democrats cared more about winning than making their donors happy, they could win 8-10 House seats next year just with ads showing off this tweet.

Something the Mamdani win demonstrates is the extent to which the reigning cadre of ancient, establishment, centrist Dems think it’s more important to be on good terms with their GOP colleagues than it is to represent their own voters, and how thoroughly sick of this literally everyone is.

New York City's homicide rate is lower than the nation's as a whole. In Trump-friendly Alabama, the homicide rate is triple the rate in NYC. But Stephen Miller spreads fear of big cities and immigrants because he's a disgusting racist.

Before the B-2 stealth bombers had even turned from home, Trump and his allies were hailing the Iran bombing raid a total victory But rather than citing his own intelligence community or military advisers, Trump turned to an anonymous Twitter account www.wired.com/story/donald...

This whole, "sexual assault and harassment is bad when Trump does it, but ok when our side does it," is sending a really clear message that the old guard of Democratic leadership only cares about women when it's politically advantageous. www.politico.com/news/2025/06...

This is not about the merits of Iran’s nuclear program. No president has the authority to bomb another country that does not pose an imminent threat to the US without the approval of Congress. This is an unambiguous impeachable offense.
