There isn't an opposition party at the Federal level to address what needs to happen with the Fed and Supreme Courts. I think folks should be honest about that. But we have A LOT MORE SWAY at the state and local levels. That's where I am putting my emphasis.

The great Bil Moyers has died. I knew him a little because I was on his show a few times. Here's one with GG. www.youtube.com/watch?v=6sXP... At the studio we were talking about what we wanted to say on air. Moyers walks in and says to Glenn and I, "Let's not play the game in the locker room."

Many American Christians say they’re persecuted for their faith. Now they support deporting Iranian Christians fleeing real persecution for their faith. Persecuted Christians want to deport persecuted Christians. So… maybe it’s not about faith.

I know people are used to what "originalists" do by now: But I will never accept the fact that these motherfuckers are literally citing the English High Court of Chancery as the ACTUAL REASON courts can't stop Trump takign away birthright citizenship.

6-3 in favor of Trump in the birthright citizenship case— which at this stage was only about about nationwide injunctions. But Sotomayor brings it back to what this is really about—letting Trump get away with lawlessness. Her dissent is another banger which she is reading from the bench:

Robert F Kennedy Jr is not a vaccine skeptic. Reporters and editors who’ve decided it’s somehow more fair to call him one instead of the anti-vaccine activist and lawyer he is should stop mischaracterizing him so… in the pursuit of accuracy.

Fuerza responds to scenes where alleged ICE enforcement is reported. If officers are indeed with ICE, they hit record and spread the word. They also speak directly with those being detained. They are part of a growing scrappy network of volunteers protecting neighbors from ICE. bit.ly/4lgke5N
