Chief Justice Roberts says the rule of law is eroding like we've rarely seen. Maybe he should've thought of that before ruling the president is above the law. You don't get to burn the house down and act shocked it's on fire.

It’s almost as if appointing an anti-vax lunatic with zero qualifications to oversee America’s health was a numbskull idea and everybody with a functioning brain knew it.

RULE ABOUT AMERICAN FLAGS:

If you burn the fabric part, you're looking at jail.

But it you use the pole part to assault a police officer, you get a presidential pardon, praise, and some cash.

Today marks the third anniversary of the Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe v. Wade.

What's happened since?

A record number of women have been prosecuted. Pregnancy loss is now considered extremely suspicious, even when it has nothing to do with abortion.

Criminalizing pregnancy: A record number of women were prosecuted the year after Dobbs

They were targeted for substance use, miscarriages, and stillbirths, largely driven by fetal personhood laws.

In a grotesque display of bureaucratic callousness, ICE bundled three U.S. citizen children—including a boy battling stage 4 cancer—off to Honduras alongside deported kin, flouting due process and medical mercy. #EndICEAbuse

I am so old I can remember when America didn't welcome genocidal sociopaths into our country with open arms

Julia Davis @juliadavisnews.bsky.social · Aug 9

Russian state media says that agreeing to meet with Trump in Alaska (which they call “Russian America”) is Putin’s goodwill gesture. In reality, the US president welcoming a genocidal authoritarian is an unwarranted freebie and encourages future attacks and invasions.

In 2016, Ghislaine Maxwell falsely stated, under oath, that she was not aware that Jeffrey Epstein recruited underage girls for sex (you know, the ones she was actually recruiting on his behalf). She was charged with two counts of perjury for this.

Remind me why we give a shit what she says now?

This is a demand for unconstitutional, arbitrary power. There is no offense against the United States here. The FBI has no role to assist the State of Texas in becoming an authoritarian enclave.

weird how the guy born into obscene wealth, bailed out repeatedly, allowed to fail upwards forever until he fell ass-backwards into the presidency, and then was declared by the Supreme Court to be a Very Special Boy Who Can Crime Forever never stops whining about how everything is rigged against him

It's no coincidence that Trump chose El Salvador for our first concentration camp in another country. We won't have to worry about the lease being terminated prematurely.
