This is one of the great myths. College protests finally stopped the draft. The war didn't end until 1975, but once people weren't being drafted, few people cared.

Protest is not, "by definition," disorder, which is why there's language in one of those weird amendments to that Constitution thing about "the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances." But that's boring, I know.

Trump is losing in court, every day, and judges are literally risking their lives to put a stop to these policies. But the law is boring and protesting is exciting.

NEW A little-noticed provision in the Senate budget bill would gut the government’s long-running CAFE fuel economy program for cars & light trucks. The provision sets all penalties for automakers who run afoul of the rules to zero — essentially repealing the law. heatmap.news/politics/cor...

One of the best things about Posting is you never know what obscure preoccupations your followers have. There will be a guy who has followed you for years and never said anything but then one day you disparage applesauce and he activates like a sleeper agent and dedicates his life to destroying you

Let’s be clear: ICE injured and detained the president of SEIU California for peacefully observing. ICE picked the wrong side. The wrong state. The wrong person. and the wrong union. David Huerta stood up. And now 750,000 SEIU workers are standing up behind him. seiuca.org/press-releas...

Whenever Dr Oz says Medicaid doesn’t “get its money’s worth” or people must “prove they matter” to qualify… just remember this is a strategy. They want you to blame disabled and poor people for high taxes. They want us to take the blame so they can get richer. Don’t let them get away with it!

Remembering today the brave souls who stormed the beaches of Normandy and parachuted behind enemy lines to defeat the hateful tyranny of Nazi Germany on June 6, 1944. More than 4,400 were killed and more than 10,000 were wounded. Imagine what history would look like without their sacrifice.

You are not going to believe this. A US Deputy Marshall in Tucson, Arizona was detained by ICE “accidentally.” He was racially profiled, because he LOOKED LIKE someone that ICE was stalking. Are these nazi mofos for real? Who the hell are these people, and what are their credentials?
