This was me, a little over a year ago, dressed in suffragette white, wearing a sandwich board stating: I CANNOT VOTE TODAY ASK ME WHY. As a registered unaffiliated (independent) voter, I'm barred from voting in DC's taxpayer-funded primary elections. 73% of voters here want to change that. 1/2

Exactly. There was a song we were taught in parochial (elementary) school. "Whatsoever you do to the least of my brothers, that you do unto me. When I was hungry, you gave me to eat. When I was thirsty, you gave me to drink. Now enter into the home of my father."

"The combination of Mr. Trump’s authoritarian moves and the Supreme Court’s authorization of them has produced, for many, a deepening despair. But here is the essential fact: The Constitution’s meaning is not the Supreme Court’s alone to define. It belongs to 'we the people.' "

It is absolutely ridiculous. What does all of that sound like in his head before it comes out of his mouth? 🤔

“YOU hit HER.”

CHICAGO - Trump’s ICE goons ram into a passing car after snatching someone, then brutally drag the female driver of the car they hit out of her car with guns drawn and arrest her too. (Her brother says she’s a citizen)

It took me a few times, and slowing down the video, but yeah. There it is.

The ICE agent on the left taking a fucking selfie as they violently arrest the women they dragged from the vehicle they crashed into just a moment earlier.

Frame at 1:07 from video in quoted post. ICE agent on left takes a self as he and ICE agent on right violently arrest woman they dragged out of vehicle they sideswiped just moments earlier.

A lawsuit alleges a Black postal worker died after officers ignored clear signs he was suffering from a massive stroke, believing his medical emergency was drugs

The suit says guards left him helpless on a jail cell floor in his own urine for hours

Mamdani talking lucidly and passionately about trans rights and history in a video that should frankly shame every politician who has hemmed and hawed and triangulated and said, "Well, but sports..." It's not that hard to tell the truth and stand for what's right. www.youtube.com/watch?v=bEvV...
