Every. Single. One. The ones who didn’t engage failed to stop those who did. They failed to stop laws being broken right in front of them. Fire them all.

Almost everyone in law enforcement should not be in law enforcement.

The Trump admin is going out of its way to convince people who misunderstand particular bits of our Constitution that those bits are wrong or mean something else. But the only evidence they provide for this is the same misunderstandings these people have about our Constitution to begin with.

The fact that today's ruling was 7-2 & not 9-0 highlights once again how adding seats to SCOTUS is now the only tenable & baseline "moderate" & "centrist" & "pro-democracy" position.

“Abolish ICE” is the moderate position. Radical is “prosecute every ICE employee under RICO.”

YES!! The great divide in this country is not between Ds and Rs, it's between those who are aware and those who are unaware.

Fuck Caillou

This is what I mean when I say some people don’t actually understand the words they’re using. They mimic speech. They don’t truly understand it. Aka: he’s a dum dum

At the lab to take a drug test, the nurse told me to initial my urine sample. I said I can only do that in the snow.

We decided to watch “School of Rock” last night because it has “Minecraft Steve in it” (I know…It is what it is) and I decided to google a bit and, yall, the little singer girl just got married to the big security guard boy /in real life/. She’s a OBGYN sonographer and he’s a music industry lawyer.

JD killed the Pope, right?

Funny how many of the people who boast of being the most patriotic of Americans are the ones who fail to understand this. Not following the U.S. Constitution is, by definition, un-American.

A lot of people seem to think following the U.S. Constitution is optional—like picking which shoes to wear in the morning. It’s not. If you’re within the boundaries of the United States, the Constitution applies to you.

MAGA may not realize it, but they openly hate the constitution and they have no desire to change it via the legal means that have been in place for more than a century. Ask them, and they will scream until red in the face how patriotic they are, but their beliefs define them as wholly un-American.

Sure would help clear up some confusion if SCOTUS would make a statement re: Trump's opinion on their ruling.

If the SAVE Act becomes law, married women who DID NOT take their husband's surname would be unaffected by this outrageous attempt at voter suppression. Do Republicans in Congress really think most of those women aren't Democrats??

stocks keep going up and down bc the invisible hand of the market is making the jacking off motion

Trump has been racking up some procedural "wins" at the Supreme Court and the answer for why is simple: John Roberts is a feckless coward. He's like a cop in Uvalde, cowering outside waiting for the shooting to stop, instead of doing his job. My latest in @thenation.com

Leaning politically Left or Right has nothing to do with your belief system or your morals. It has everything to do with empathy. Republicans simply lack sufficient empathy to be Democrats. They don't care about policy negatively affecting anyone but themselves. There is no meeting in the middle.

Hey dum-dums: It's okay to be stupid. It's okay to not know how anything works. It's okay to not pay attention and just do your own thing. It's not okay to pretend you know what you're doing when you don't while other people's livelihoods, or even lives, are on the line. Knock that shit off.

Seriously. Morons really are having quite the moment.

The communication strategies of the Republican party over the past 40 years have managed to extinguish all but two kinds of Republican voters: Stupid ones and evil ones. As far as anyone with a brain and a conscience can tell, that's all that's left in the GOP.

Morons sure are having a moment, huh?

Yep, they did another terrible thing. It's awful. Absolutely reprehensible. And millions of voters are still completely unaware. I'm telling you, folks. This is how our democracy dies. In a blaze of ignorance.

Don't forget! All the crazy shit Trump and his administration have done the last few weeks has gone completely unnoticed by millions of voters who firmly believe they know how the world works. Millions. Unaware. That's how it ends. In a blaze of ignorance.

If elected lawmakers abdicate their responsibilities, it's time for recall elections. Do your jobs or get fired.
