Guys, they were okay with khashoggi Of course they’re okay with this

What kind of person steals from a children’s cancer charity?

THERE IS NO OTHER WAY TO PUT IT.

Shout out to Berine, to AOC, to Corey Booker, to Jamie Raskin, to Chris Van Hollen, to Jasmie Crockett, to Chris Murphy and a few others... When you show you are willing to fight for us, we will rally behind you! Keep it up! This moment calls for fighters, not career "politicians" #FORTHEPEOPLE

It is really bothering me (understatement) that the message is “bring back that one innocent guy” and not “WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK SHUT DOWN THIS WHOLE OPERATION IMMEDIATELY.”

Best news this week: My client picked up in a New Hampshire ICE raid last month will finally be going home on an order of minimum bond. This is our third successful bond case of the week. Good things are still happening!

So much damage

You love to see their lies having real consequences 👇 Treasonous Trump MAGA election denier and MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell continues to refuse to pay more than $50K in sanctions he has been ordered to pay to voting software company Smartmatic over "frivolous" election claims. More: bit.ly/4lGDPgy

I sympathize with feeling fear to do your job but I feel strongly the remedy is to quit your job, not to stop doing it, especially when people rely on you to do your job.

Something I learned today: The US was so worried about the estimated casualties from invading Japan in 1945 that the stockpile of Purple Heart medals it made in advance lasted through Korea, Vietnam, and the Gulf War.

Zero. Zip. Zilch. Nada.

Disgusting Republican ghouls in Congress flying down to El Salvador for opportunistic photo ops: You are violating the Geneva Convention by using prisoners as props.

The great enemy of clear language is insincerity. In our age there is no such thing as ‘keeping out of politics’. All issues are political issues, and politics itself is a mass of lies, evasions, folly, hatred and schizophrenia.

Please repeat over and over: “Bending to the whims of a bully will not end his cruelty. It will only embolden him. The response to authoritarianism isn’t acquiescence. Bullies respond to one thing, and one thing only: a punch in the face.” —Gov. JB Pritzker

If allowed to continue you can change that might to a will destroy us all. I don't know what the point of no return is but it has to be getting close. Thank you @hartmannreport.com

There’s a certain number of people who say things like “you all really need to stop saying things like ‘that’s illegal’ or ‘that’s unconstitutional’” and no, I won’t stop saying that. Because I’m not going to cede the point that we have the moral, legal, and pragmatic high ground.

A strong majority of US voters and 𝘮𝘢𝘫𝘰𝘳𝘪𝘵𝘪𝘦𝘴 𝘢𝘤𝘳𝘰𝘴𝘴 𝘱𝘢𝘳𝘵𝘺 𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘦𝘴 believe immigrants with green cards & visas have the right to: - be informed of the charges against them 81% - the right to a fair trial 77% - the right to present a defense 75% - the right to appeal a court decision 69%

The Air Force has deleted online records of Col. Nicole Malachowski —𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗳𝗶𝗿𝘀𝘁 𝘄𝗼𝗺𝗮𝗻 𝗧𝗵𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿𝗯𝗶𝗿𝗱 𝗽𝗶𝗹𝗼𝘁— citing Trump’s orders to purge DEI content. Malachowski, a decorated combat veteran, called it ❝un-American❞ and warned it’s not just her story being erased but a dangerous rewriting of history. ⤵

I'm no conspiracy freak, but I'm starting to think maybe he didn't legit win the 2024 election.

Leaked Russian data

This administration is literally disappearing innocent people off the street and sending them to brutal foreign prisons in defiance of a unanimous Supreme Court. This fact must scare every American who respects the rule of law and loves the ideals on which this country was founded. #ResistTrump

With all the videos of police illegally entering people’s home using intimidation & force to detain & deport American if not worse. Black peoples have dealt with that for centuries. It’s police brutality. That is beyond unconstitutional. That is why Colin Kaepernick knelt.… Now do you f’n get it?

“A poem cannot stop a bullet. A novel can't defuse a bomb. But we are not helpless. We can sing the truth and name the liars.” ~ Salman Rushdie

Nothing says “free market” like government bailouts for a war you started with yourself.

When American citizens have to worry about returning to their own country from travel abroad, you ain’t living in a free republic.

Can someone legal power house just petition SCOTUS to look at the immunity ruling again, so we can get that process started again. SHit I will do it.

This can be said of some other countries as well.
