This is genuinely totalitarian, real Valle de Los Caídos stuff, not built out of genuine affection for the fallen but to enforce veneration

Bill filed in #Florida Legislature would make every single college & university name one street after Charlie Kirk. And the bill even specifies WHICH street at each one. (But the governor doesn't want streets used for political messages, which is why no rainbows!) www.tallahassee.com/story/news/l...
Bill would make Florida colleges, universities name streets after Charlie Kirk
A new bill would make all of Florida's public state universities and colleges rename one roadway on their campuses after Charlie Kirk.

“This is exactly the moment for people to stand up. And do I see enough people doing it? No, I don’t. It shouldn’t be that there are Democrats that are afraid, because you know what? We’re the targets. We need to be strong, we need to fight back.”

Thank you, @govpritzker.illinois.gov!

"This is despotism, and whatever chaos and violence is about to be unleashed lies squarely on the robed shoulders of Justices Roberts, Thomas, Alito, Gorsuch, Kavanaugh, and Barrett."

Trump is the insurrection

BREAKING: Pope Leo just met with American migrants advocating for those living in fear of deportation.

He said to them — and to Trump’s America:

“The Church cannot stay silent before injustice. You stand with me. And I stand with you.”

So yesterday a reporter asked Donald Trump about the writ of habeas corpus, and he had no idea what it was.

"I don't know," he said. "I'd rather leave that to Kristi."

Well, It turns out Sen. Hassan asked Kristi Noem about it in May, and this was Noem's response:

HASSAN: What is habeas corpus?

NOEM: Habeas corpus is a constitutional right that the president has to be able to remove people from this country

HASSAN: That's incorrect

Welcoming immigrants to the US is out of fashion on the political right these days, even for those who enter legally. That’s short-sighted for America’s future prosperity, as this week’s news about the annual Nobel prize winners in the sciences shows again.

This is from Marge Greene.

You know who has been warning about this for months? Democrats.

But the people who had no plan to deal with this crisis and still don’t want you to believe this is about “illegals.”

Pritzker: "He wants to militarize major cities because he wants us to get used to the idea of troops on the streets. I believe he's gonna post people outside of polling places and if he needs to in order to control those elections, he'll assume control of the ballot boxes & count the votes himself"

If the National Governors Association chooses to remain silent, Illinois will have no choice but to withdraw from the organization.

We should be standing as one against the idea that Donald Trump can call up the National Guard against our will.

“Trump will fail in remaking American politics if people and institutions coordinate against him, which is why his administration is targeting businesses, nonprofits and the rest of civil society, proposing corrupting bargains to those who acquiesce and punishing holdouts….”
