Ds didn’t shut down the government.

Ds withheld their votes, refusing to be accomplices to devastating cuts and this lawless administration.

Rs have all the seats they need to pass whatever they want. They don’t have the balls.

Ds are proud to stand up for America/ns. We did it. 🤞we’d do it again

Mayor Brandon Johnson responds well. Violating constitutional rights is not making anyone safer.

It erodes at the structure and rule of law. Because if those in charge are not held to the same standard, why should anyone else?

1/ The recent destruction of a Russian column at Volodymyrivka has prompted strong reactions from Russian warbloggers. Some claim the attack to have been successful, despite the losses; others castigate commanders for sacrificing lives and vehicles. ⬇️

Remember the Rutgers professor who fled the US after being labeled as an Antifa leader and receiving threats to his entire family?

He provided a great explanation of what Antifa is and isn't.

Oh and he absolutely nailed the "why" the regime is taking this route.

As Trump & Egypt’s el-Sisi kiss each others asses, our odious POTUS marvels at the ‘lack of crime’ remember that el-Sisi came to power in a military coup and brutally cracked down on any protests against his regime. He is backed w/billions from MBS, you know the Comedy Fest guy.

Buried inside the Big Beautiful Bill is a time bomb...one that detonates the balance of power. You weren’t supposed to read this clause. That’s why I did.

A single section hidden deep in the bill quietly neuters the courts. It’s that serious.🔥👇

The United States is currently in material breach of over five hundred legally binding treaties with Indigenous nations. We violated even the treaties we coerced at the point of a sword.

We cannot talk about restoring the rule of law until we acknowledge and repair this fundamental truth.

Step 2 - expect a strike.

Occupied Oleshky, Kherson region.
Russian forces set up positions inside a residential building and flaunted it online. If the site is hit, propaganda will likely accuse "Ukrainian Nazis" of targeting civilians - despite the military presence they themselves revealed.
