#BirthrightCitizenship was enshrined in the U.S. Constitution through the #14thAmendment 125 years ago. Birthright Citizenship is in the Constitution. Period. Full STOP! ✋🏼

Will the stacked, corrupt #SCOTUS rewrite the Constitution, declaring millions of U.S. Citizens illegal!?

Who can say why tRvmp’s #ICEGestapo is targeting and harming members of the clergy, as well as other peacefully protesting US citizens! 🧐 It seems even they no longer know why they are committing such violence. 🤨

On October 18th, show up en masse!

We really need to spread this everywhere. This story is breaking through, even to MAGA folks. ICE is out of control, waging indiscriminate violence. Even on members of the clergy.

When Ghana is more Just, Transparent and maybe even democratic than the U.S. of A., you’ve gotta start to wonder.

Diane Keaton passed today at the age of 79. Heartbreaking news.

She was an iconic artist, director, producer and human being. A muse to many.

May she rest in peace.🤍
Strength and love to her family and friends.

This is true! While the “lawyers” he has installed in the DOJ are laughable, every other part of the DOJ, from the FBI to smaller agencies could get ugly in their weaponization. Don’t get me started on what they’ve done with DHS, like you say, lightning fast!

Fortunately, and for now, these are absurd and clearly vindictive cases that will either never make it to trial or will be lost. But how long until not only the Justice Department but also the lower courts are packed with tRvmp lackeys!? 🧐

Noah Bookbinder @noahbookbinder.bsky.social · 2d

We've now had the same thing happen twice in the past few weeks. With New York Attorney General James, as with former FBI Director Comey, Donald Trump publicly demanded prosecution of a perceived enemy and made it happen over the objections of career prosecutors, which is beyond dangerous. 🧵

Noah Bookbinder @noahbookbinder.bsky.social · 2d

In both cases, career prosecutors and even a Trump appointee recommended against prosecuting because of insufficient evidence. But Trump forced out his own appointee who wasn't willing to prosecute and brought in a loyalist who was. That loyalist has now indicted both of these perceived opponents.

This is a president deciding who he doesn't like and wants prosecuted, even when the facts and law don't support prosecuting, and then making it happen. That becomes a way for him to take out any opposition, which is something that happens in authoritarian countries, not democracies.
