🧵:

Last June, more than 5 million Americans joined #NoKings rallies across the country, protesting President Trump's authoritarianism. And this Saturday, with your help, it's going to be even bigger and better.

This stupid f*ck. These are the emergent leaders of the Republican Party. Every fucken Republican should be condemning them and the group should be disbanded. They are all the same. Every one of them.

I give you the comment of J. D. Vance, the Vice President of the United States re: the vile chats of the Young Republicans.
"Kids do stupid things, especially young boys."
Chat:
Everyone that votes no is going to the gas chamber.

Also ... we are officially under consideration for a Trump endorsement. ©
Great. I love Hitler
you're giving nationals to much credit and expecting the Jew to be honest
Stay in the closet f--t
I'm ready to watch people burn now
Are you g takes?
If we ever had a leak of this chat we would be cooked fr fr
I'd go to the zoo if I wanted to watch monkey play ball
When do we start bullying dude?
It was rape
Boom - they're dead

"Halligan is finding out that prosecuting a case is harder than it looks — particularly when that case has already been rejected by seasoned prosecutors as unwinnable. Add in that it will be tried on the fastest federal docket in the US, and you’ve got the makings of a total humiliation in court."

Abolish ICE.

Tweet by Robert Reich (@RBReich): “Trump claims ICE’s reign of terror in Chicago is targeting the ‘worst of the worst.’ But out of the 1,000 undocumented immigrants that have swept up, the agency has only cited 10 men with a criminal background.” Below is an image of a police officer on a bicycle overseeing a protest scene at night.

Let’s stop pretending. The issue before the Supreme Court right now is easy to understand: There are still many people on the far right who don’t see Black Americans as equals...they see them through the same filthy slur they whisper when the cameras are off. That's right...that word.
