I’m seeing recurring arguments between leftists and liberals, and honestly I want to line up all parties Stooges style and Mo-slap everyone.
How about we focus on the fascists? We may disagree on many things. But those disagreements are petty when compared to what we must fight.

I’m old enough to remember when federal courts provided a remedy for cases in which federal agents violated a citizen’s constitutional rights.
But the Roberts Court largely did away with that. That said, I would still file any of these cases.

So I’m guessing I got added to some far left fuckhead’s horrifying lists (eg, “genocide enthusiast”—wtaf?) because of my obviously Semitic name and appearance.

If the Democrats retake Congress this must be on the priority list of legislative initiatives.
Yes, Trump will veto it. But signing this bill must be a campaign issue for any 2028 Dem candidate.

These congressmen want to give you the right to sue federal law enforcement for violating your rights
The proposed bills aim to codify a 1971 Supreme Court ruling that allowed individuals to sue the feds for Fourth Amendment violations.
