Rand Paul: "When you kill someone, if you're not in a declared war, you really need to know someone's name at least. You have to accuse them of something. You have to present evidence. So all of these people have been blown up without any evidence of a crime."

The president has one core job under the Constitution: to “take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed.” Not thwarted, diverted, blunted, revised or ignored. Faithfully executed.

A myth about royalty is the idea that they hold to a chivalrous standard. Their word is their bond & they are nothing without honour. When accused of being a paedophile Windsor* lied & refused to help police. His mum paid off his accuser. Deal with White grooming gangs now:
After all those scandals, why did Prince Andrew quit his titles now?
He has voluntarily given up his titles but was clearly under pressure to jump before he was pushed.

Tallahassee is liberal-ish, but in a very red state. It also is a small city. Turnout for No Kings #1 was about 2000. There were definitely more today, say 3000?
My niece is from Portland, OR, so she had to wear an inflatable for solidarity!

Honestly still reeling that SCOTUS is going to claim racial discrimination in voting is ok only when that discrimination aligns with partisan power grabs. That doesn’t make it better you Jim Crow freaks.

My 14-year-old self would never have guessed that, in 50 years' time, all the world's music would be available at the click of a button, you'd navigate the globe by carrying a tiny computer around in your pocket, and the US President would post a video of himself shitting over American citizens.

No kid should ever have to protest or advocate for their friends’ basic humanity.

But they’re standing up at No Kings anyway.

“.. They describe the legions of masked immigration officers operating in near-total anonymity on the orders of the president as the crossing of a line that had long set the United States apart from the world’s most repressive regimes.”
