Draft dodger Trump once compared avoiding STDs to serving in Vietnam:

“I’ve been so lucky in terms of that whole world… It’s like Vietnam, sort of. It is my personal Vietnam. I feel like a great and very brave soldier.”

Call a Senator that voted no tonight and demand that they vote to remove Chuck Schumer as Senate Minority Leader.

He has weaponized his incompetence against the American people by allowing 8 Dem Senators to cave to an authoritarian regime. We need real leadership, not the oligarchy’s lapdog
Schumer can be removed from his Dem leadership role this week - 23 Dems (and/or independents) just have to vote to depose him

And they should, given this is his fault.
This is a lovely sentiment but Schumer isn't up for re-election until 2028 and he knows this. At which point he will be 77/78. There's no mechanism to recall a sitting senator AFAIK.

WTF is Border Patrol doing in a city with NO BORDER to a foreign country?! When you assault ppl, expect pushback.
"An unknown number of agitators also threw a paint can and bricks at border patrol’s vehicles.“

When communities are backed into a corner, they protect each other. Community solidarity is exactly what the fascists aim to destroy. They can’t succeed without trying to break our will. They will fail!

It’s important to note this was a procedural action, not a ruling on the merits of the underlying case. Justice Jackson wasn’t siding with the Trump administration; she was making sure the legal process unfolded correctly and fairly.

Republicans better wake up and realize a large portion of their party are elderly and handicapped (like anti-abortion disability advocate groups), who need mail-in voting. Trump doesn’t care about Repubs, just his ego.
