This is a horrifying ruling that shows a disdain for basic human rights principles — made all the more unconscionable by the fact that the Republican appointees did so with no reasoning and on the shadow docket.

It is worth reminding every American today that the people who hid Anne Frank were outlaws. The people who sent her to die in the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp were law-abiding citizens.

We have gone from the margin of error to the margin of effort. On the day before the election, we stand on the verge of toppling a political dynasty and winning a city we can afford. But we can only do it with you. zohranfornyc.com/gotv

One thing the Dem establishment never really got over was the fact that Hillary Clinton lost the 2008 nomination because she supported the Iraq War. Denial and anger followed rather than learning from that decision.

Pretty amazing that a former president will sit quietly as one of his successors orders US troops into American cities and ships innocent people off to concentration camps—but feels compelled to speak up when a fellow HR nightmare is at risk of losing to another member of the same party.

This is what makes me sick, because it takes place in the context of everything else—jailing political opponents, throwing students in vans, sending the national guard to LA; they feel like there's no need for even the pretense anymore and the majority of our curdled institutions will just go along

My only working explanatory hypothesis right now is that billionaires and authoritarians Literally thrive on human misery; that if people aren't suffering then all their money and power don't actually sustain them, and that cruelty & sheer horror are the only things that flow through their veins.

All this bullshit around the world right now is happening because literally just a HANDFUL of motherfuckers are trying to avoid justice & reckoning for their previous crimes. We COULD have a decent world. We COULD make things better. We are able to do that. And these selfish fucks won’t let us.

The destruction will be so complex that the next several administrations won’t be able to repair the damage swiftly, it’ll be cost prohibitive. So what we need to do is tax the rich and corporations and add the required number of IRS employees to start clawing back the cost of the damage.

So Starship Ship 36 just detonated before the static fire test - fueled and waiting for the test. Looks like the top tank lets go and sets off the whole stack. It would be bad enough if it let go during the static fire test, but it just blew up. And it's cooking off the fuel tanks on the pad.

This is such a great point and isn’t made enough! We have a trans daughter but a mostly conservative extended family (and in-laws, to some degree), the exact people you’d expect would be awful on this issue. They have not been! I was prepared to do battle but we’ve been so happily surprised.
