Trump trying to appear super-racist to distract from the fact that he is a pedophile isn't really working. He is both. Trump is a racist pedophile.

Impeach Trump and Hegseth for war crimes, and then again for treason.
Q: If it's found that survivors were actually killed while clinging onto that boat, should Sec. Hegseth, Admiral Bradley, or others be punished?
TRUMP: I think you're gonna find that this is war. That these people were killing our people by the millions, actually.

As Citizens’ Impeachment closes in on 10K followers, I continue to be glad that there’s an org not only driving impeachment demands at scale, but writing about impeachment with such moral clarity. It‘s really helped cut through the noise this year.
"But they'll never!"
Stop giving them permission to "never."
Have they done impeachable things?
Does the Constitution require impeachment for those things?
If the answers to those two questions are yes, then that's the path. Don't let their bluster district from the rightness of the action.

🧵about the politics of do-nothing doomerism, and we agree with all of it. Lawlessness demands impeachment because it is the right thing.
Why aren’t Democrats impeaching Trump admin officials?
Some of us have been saying for almost a year now that Jeffries has stopped impeachment—like Pelosi did—because impeachment “polls poorly in swing districts.” We have gotten lots of pushback.
Now reporting confirms. It’s a “political loser” ‼️

And therefore Trump should be impeached, removed, and prosecuted
Department of Defense Law of War Manual, Sec. 18.3.2.1 states the "requirement" to refuse illegal orders.
What’s its key example? Wait for it . . . It’s "orders to fire upon the shipwrecked."

This is also a signal to escalate the push for impeachment. Folks gotta learn how to kick a fascist when he’s down
JP Morgan’s CEO going “we’re not funding the ballroom, the next DOJ will hit us with the book over it” is a pretty big sign that the winds are shifting as far as Trump having a glorious 1000 year reich. I doubt he’ll even make the full four years, and his entourage have their future to pay for it

While this usually isn't the intent, "no one will ever be held accountable for this" doomerism is an excuse not to try.
There'll be at least some accountability if enough Americans work for it. And this time really is different. Doesn't guarantee the aftermath will be, but it increases the chances.

Fully agree. Again asking commentators, especially those with large audiences, to apply 2 basic principles in these situations:
-Call out individuals, not just institutions
-Call for consequences
So in this case, don‘t just slam “OU”: say OU president Joseph Harroz needs to resign in disgrace.

And the fact that OU has been cowed into suspending a professor who had the barest of academic standards is TERRIFYING because the theocracy is billowing at an increasingly rapid rate and our collective standards are all at risk.
The future of our leadership for the next generations are at risk.

Sorry @indivisible.org but y’all need to back impeachment. Those millions of people you got to march were marching for more than “donate $5 to a Democrat.” And they’re in no mood to be grifted
To secure our strongest check on Trump’s power, we must continue organizing year-round — this is why the work it will take to win the midterms is already happening around the country. Please pitch in to power the grassroots organizing that will make our electoral victories possible next year.

I get what‘s meant here but it’s granting Trump too much, just when he‘s starting to look truly weak. The impeachment power still exists, for one. Targets of the regime still ask their lawyers to make the best of what constitutional rights remain—so should we all, asserting Constitution over Trump

ICE blew it. If they think they can move freely in central parts of Manhattan, they're crazy. No one will tolerate them.
It sounds like today they intended to make a show of power. NYPD with 30,000 cops can do that. But, a few hundred ICE agents? Pftt! Go home!

A source tells me they had planned for *hundreds* of agents to flood Canal St. They got flooded instead.

The military has a duty to refuse unlawful orders, but Congress has a duty to remove from office a president and secretary who would issue such orders. There is something off about members of Congress talking about the former while refusing to say the latter, the part that's actually their job here.

And if you do that, as we must, it's not just pardons that are null. It's everything. No appointments are valid. No orders were real. No laws were validly signed. It all falls into a constitutional interregnum in which nothing he's done counts as legitimate, akin to the South under the Confederacy.

Moderates want justice for racists only in the past or future, never the present. It‘s a “tell” and once you know to look for it, you‘ll see it everywhere. That’s why very few of the people obsessed with “future Nuremberg trials” are helping with the current impeachment push—and some are opposing it

Yes, but I don't get this thing where people call for the resignation/removal of Trump's henchmen but not Trump. Seems common among pundits with large audiences—it's like they don't want to get TOO resistancey, like they're fine with SOME monarchy but won't tolerate shenanigans from the courtiers
Every single congressional Democrat needs to be out there, right now, insisting that Pete Hegseth resign right now and announcing that he will be held accountable for committing war crimes.
If you do not demand accountability here and now, they will only become more emboldened.
