It’s curious that the people that insisted SCOTUS would never overturn Roe v Wade and abortion rights advocates claiming otherwise were alarmists, are now the same people insisting that LGBTIQ activists’ legal strategies have been too “aggressive” in advocating for the rights of transgender people.

One of our earliest civil rights statutes was designed to protect us against masked gangs who violate our constitutional rights. This particular history makes the masked ICE gangs uniquely repugnant. open.substack.com/pub/sherrily...

this is an insane, bizarre state of affairs in which no one knows who's at war with whom, all stemming from the fact that the president is a brain-damaged moron who doesn't know how anything works and lies constantly, which the news refuses to relay and must somehow write around

Damn—the Senate parliamentarian has ruled that a LOT of the reconciliation bill requires 60 votes to pass, including a massive assault on federal regulations and several heinous attacks on civil service protections. This effectively guts a big chunk of the bill. www.budget.senate.gov/ranking-memb...

Bombing for peace is like burning books to promote literacy.

This is really important. Fill all 5 spots.

A thing people don't remember about 2003 is that "they have WMDs" was the pitch to *high-info* voters. The pitch to low-info voters was "the dastardly muslims attacked us on 9/11 and we have to hit them back by deposing the muslim king saddam hussein who attacked us"

There is always a tweet.

There was a survey a few weeks ago that found half of Americans thought ICE was just hunting criminals. The institutional press have failed to make clear ICE’s primary strategy today is capturing people through the use of compliance traps, and shipping them off to substandard prisons in the South.

Zohran is so antisemitic he keeps hanging out with and endorsing a Jew who is also his primary competition. What a terrifying man.

What an obscenely terrible headline. I can assure the legacy media that Democrats are not looking to be politically targeted, manhandled, handcuffed, arrested or indicted. The handcuffs are a symbol of authoritarianism, injustice, intimidation, and government abuse. Nothing more.

A short video about Juneteenth:

SLOTKIN: Have you given the order to be able to shoot at unarmed protesters in any way? HEGSETH: What is that based on? SLOTKIN: It is based on Trump giving that order to your predecessor, who I give a lot of credit to bc he didn't accept the order. He has more guts & balls than you

"We're not saying you can't get health care because you're transgender, which would be illegal. We're just saying we refuse to treat the conditions that cause you to be transgender. That's different and okay." A pathetic, indefensible logical pretzel from SCOTUS
