Never forget this: The forces rigging our economy, undermining our democracy, polluting our planet, and stoking hatred are counting on you to give up. Cynicism is how they win. Stay clear-eyed and ready for the fight ahead.

Important piece by Prof. Kate Andrias. This is why treating SCOTUS as the only word on the Constitution gives away our power as citizens.

As I frequently say “we are founders and framers” of the next iteration of democracy in this country.

IT WAS ALL STAGED. IT WAS FAKE except for the one guy killed accidentally or maybe not, and then they killed the fake shooter. The shooter was not the person they said was the shooter. This entire thing was a sham.

I don’t know who needs to hear this but the CDC is being eviscerated right now. America is not going to have any kind of outbreak response capacity after tonight. Americans’ health data is no longer secure. Say goodbye to federal public health in any capacity. It’s a disaster. We won’t recover.

Ok I meant in the scuffle--while these two large thugs struggled to zip tie her though she didn't appear to be resisting--she was dragged to the ground and lay there unclothed. It's purposely humiliating, particularly for a woman being manhandled by masked male strangers.

He needs--and he earned--a prison cell.

He's a moron dribbling out fantastic stories but the morons behind him going along with the charade are pathetic. After he's gone, they'll still be pariahs. And hopefully imprisoned for their role in his crimes.

They pulled this woman's pants down and it took two thugs to zip tie her though she wasn't protesting. This is sexual assault and they have to be prosecuted/sued/imprisoned/deported to Uganda.

With Larry Ellison in control of TikTok, we now have right-wingers or looney far-right wingers in control of most of the major social media platforms.

Right-Wing Moguls Dominate Social Media. One Legal Fix Can Help Stem the Tide.

Revising Section 230 of the 1996 Communications Decency Act would make outlets more accountable for the content they platform.

That was a diplomatic response for those among us who can read between the lines. The Nobel is not a participation trophy, and no amount of extortion, bribery or bullying is going to get a real award in Krasnov’s gummy little hands.

That’s sexual assault. I hope she sues them.

She terrifies them.

Muttsylvania @muttsylvania.bsky.social · 1d

That looks like sexual assault to me. These thugs need to be held personally liable.

Why has Dominion Voting Systems been settling defamation lawsuits with Trump allies who falsely claimed the company stole the 2020 election?

Because Dominion has just been bought by a company run by a former GOP election official.

Be warned.

Trump in 2017: “Qatar has been a funder of terrorism at a very high level.”

Federal agents aren’t trying to keep the peace. They want violence to escalate so that Trump can declare martial law.

They shot a reverend in the head with pepper balls while he was praying in front of an ICE facility. If that doesn’t tell you where we are as a country, nothing will.

It’s hard to award the Nobel Peace Prize to a guy that maybe brokered a temporary peace deal after he ordered 500 tons of nutrient rich biscuits destroyed instead of saving the lives of desperate, starving babies.

Can we at least hope that circumstances change and Krasnov transforms from a role model (?) into a warning. Surely Venezuelans don’t think it’s a good idea to murder fishermen in international waters.
