The Trump administration is abusing the military justice system to target its political opponents. A despicable new low for a group that strives everyday to find the moral bottom.

🤬Fucking Israel will never stop bombing because they know that nothing they do has consequences. Israel wants to annihilate people, and issuing a statement isn't enough to stop them.😮💨

Rand Paul: "If you take at face value the idea calling your opponents traitors and then specifically saying it warrants the death penalty is reckless, inappropriate, irresponsible -- it's not something that's helping the country heal wounds. I think it stirs things up and really we can do better."

60 Minutes just reminded us that Putin is a war criminal and all I could think of while watching that is remembering how our president embraced him like a hero. It’s disgusting how far we have fallen.

I absolutely love that the Tish James and James Comey news dropped minutes before Trump is supposed to roll out his latest “healthcare plan,” which just like the last 87 versions doesn’t exist. Perfect timing. Nothing exposes a scam like actual accountability happening somewhere else.

Mary Ziegler points out that no Republicans voted against the failed South Carolina bill that would have jailed women for up to 30 years for abortion. But the point of such bills is that they incrementally mainstream the most extreme anti-abortion positions.

Tears for Fears release “Shout” 41 yrs ago today.
The ‘80s, said Roland Orzabal, brought “a lot of fear, a lot of political tension. .. It’s really about empowerment — about refusing the roles you’ve been told to play. It’s an invitation. It’s saying: if something is wrong, say so. Say it loudly.”
