The Bill of Rights was basically poppycock until the 1960s. When I was born, all of this was legal:

● Public school teachers could lead mandatory class prayers.

● Private employers could require employees to go to church.

● Both govt and private business could post jobs for Whites/Men Only.

I was told it was antisemitic to dislike Bernie's arrogant manner. But I'm Jewish and no one else I know is that abrasive.

Last night, I received notification of the 19th death of a detained person in ICE custody since Trump took office.

ICE is detaining people, mostly in private, for-profit prisons that put profit over health. And now they have furloughed the safety inspectors. This is unacceptable.

I want a president who accepts and enforces the Equal Protection Clause.

Guess who just got both the updated COVID vaccine and flu shots today? Your dear Leader Trump. Maybe you should get them too.

MYTH: ICE agents lack proper training.

FACT: Most have been racists their entire lives.

Extinguishing MLK's Eternal Flame is both outrageous and a hell of a metaphor for right now www.wsbtv.com/news/local/a...

Eternal flame at Martin Luther King Jr.’s Atlanta burial site destroyed

Police say the man also urinated in the reflective pool.

From Chicago to D.C., federal judges are standing up to Trump’s abuses

They’re showing what judicial independence looks like

That’s how democracy wins

They want Israel gone. Also, they want Jews gone.

Gaza is irrelevant to that.

No “clean CR” exists when Trump defies Congress and unilaterally guts programs—from law enforcement to pediatric cancer research to clean energy projects.

Republicans want Democratic cover to keep breaking the law. Democrats won’t play along.
