These unidentified, masked bullies must be treated as vigilantes. Their gun licenses should be checked. And all federal agents and law enforcement should be prohibited from covering their faces.

Agreed. The Democrats would look a lot more like they had principles if they based their responses and actions on, well, *principles* instead of focus groups.

Everyone dressed like this should be treated like lawless vigilantes by the community members and local law enforcement.
No jurisdiction should tolerate masked, gun carrying men harassing and terrorizing people.

A deeply problematic process vulnerable to software meddling.

If the tampering involves switching votes, it will not matter how many people vote. Only reliable tabulation (code should be examined, audited and checked before next election) and failing that, manual recounts of paper ballots can save us now.

Also the outrage that the news makes it seem only liberals are outraged?

Makes one wonder what the Evangelical position is on transporting people to camps where they get gassed and then incinerated? Is it strong or middling?

This pugnacious, interrupting, baiting and talking over argument style that Cruz is showing us is so corrosive to logic, thinking about principles, avoiding hypocrisy or learning anything. We have to call this out and reject it as juvenile, wrong, and unacceptable.

LOL, oops on the gender assumption, generally never see a man commenting on harassment. Anyway, mindless insulting trolls with no reasoning behind their positions are a drag. Wish you and your boss did not have to deal with it. Thanks for your work.

I am so sorry for you have to deal with this. It really is truly awful how consistent and virulent this racist misogyny is. I wish you did not have to deal with this BS as the price of being a woman who is out there in the world with her thoughts. Thank you for your bravery & determination.

They are just not creative or accurate, you know?

Since they have so much trust in their government now, maybe they can sell off all those guns they thought they needed to fight off big gubment?

Imagine having such low quality choices one must choose between Tucker Carlson and Trump. A nightmare brought about by giving up integrity, intellectual rigor, and fidelity to facts; and made further horrifying by capitulating to mega donors whose loyalty is to profits, not to this country.

Terror and economic destruction operations would be more accurate.

These are OUR treasures we have paid to steward and preserve for decades: every taxpayer has invested in these lands, and in many cases befitted from them. A one time fire sale on our priceless inheritance will not fix the budget, it only degrades us and enriches already obscenely rich exploiters.

Recent history and maybe all of history tells us that people - and men especially - do not see sexual assault, sexual harassment and sexual objectification as disqualifying a person from leadership. It is so discouraging this does not clearly signal lack of integrity and compromised morals.

No clear path to this exists in winner take all systems. People need to work for ranked choice voting at the state level to create conditions under which a wider variety of parties might be viable.

Love this, but who are you quoting?

Lots on Trump’s SDE bday party, nothing in the “today” scroll on protests: zero. Protest coverage totally buried, had to go to sections/politics and then finally a tab showed up as anti-Ice protests, and never saw a good estimate for numbers attending or number of events.
Do better, @nytimes.com

And it was peaceful and joyful, virtually no cops in sight.

The undercounts are so infuriating. We had tens of thousands in Seattle at one of two No Kings events ALONE - and there were many smaller events around the region.
Why not make a real effort at accuracy based on photos, videos and local counts? Jeez.

The Log Cabin Republicans: a failure of analysis, solidarity and self reflection, all in favor of greed and grasping at white male privilege.

A kindred spirit in Seattle, I wish I had a better picture! Was laughing too hard.

A great day to be out with other peaceful, beautiful, Seattleites!

4 to 1 or more in the social action groups at my UU church. I'm reminded of this site that was shown to me by a women sitting next to me at an organizing meeting 2017-2018? I keep a shortcut to it on my phone ☺️

That is a truly bonkers example . Bye dude

Back at you, dude. Or you are a troll or bot, but you sure as hell aren’t thinking beyond what you are told by right wing media, or modelling what love over ideology means. You can’t seem to engage in the principles or facts relating to Trump’s actions.

False he is not following the law. It has never been our law to send people to foreign prisons, even criminals, or for the pres to destroy programs congress authorized.

Because I believe in rule of law, not men, habeas corpus, that military should not be used against citizens, truthful and thoughtful history education, science, integrity and democracy. I don’t live property destruction and wish young men’s brains matured faster, but destroying democracy is worse

And what exactly does ‘love transcends ideology’ mean ? You come off quite hateful, impatient and very bound by and to ideology. Do you think you are radiating universal love here?

You are distracted by what they *want* you distracted by; what are you not seeing? Corruption, selling access, alienating allies, destroying research and science, punishing free speech, exploiting public lands, screwing over farmers and licking the boots of fossil fuel industry. All harder to repair

He is NOT acting within presidential power, as federal courts agree repeatedly.
