Biden: So, folks, that's my message to all of us today, to all who love our country, to all of us are dismayed by the present state of the union: it's time to get up, get up and fight back. Get up. Continue to fight. What's the fight all about? Protecting the constitution.

There is no reason to be polite or decorous about this any more.
The current Supreme Court is corrupt.
US democracy cannot survive unless it is reformed.

Democrats need to lay the groundwork for reform by attacking the villains on the Supreme Court - loudly, angrily, personally, relentlessly. And they should start now.

"Some of the people viewing the video thought ... could have been an attempt to surrender"
Others "said the most logical explanation was ... signaling for a rescue."

Libertarianism is simultaneously the most hilariously tone deaf political position to take and the most dangerous.
You either grow out of being a Libertarian when you're 15 or you spend your whole life as an intellectual clown arguing things like

"Maybe allowing war crimes would be great for the drone strike & missile industries."
Libertarianism NEVER leads to utopia; it ONLY leads to despotism

It gets lost in the non stop sewer that is Trump and this admin but this has been two days of him launching a racist rant after racist rant as his minions clap and cheer and hardly a FUCKING PEEP from our supposed opposition party.
Trump, continued: "What the Somalian people have done to Minnesota is not even believable. It’s not even believable. And a lot of it starts with the governor. A lot of it starts with Barack HUSSEIN Obama, because that’s when people started coming in... They want to kiss our country good night."

It’s PR to distract you from low wages, labor exploitation, and a tax system that’s rigged for the rich.

Last week, ICE arrested and separated a father and son after a routine check-in. Six-year-old Yuanxin had just enrolled in the first grade at an elementary school in Astoria. Now he's in custody, alone. ICE won't say where. This cruelty serves no one. It must end.
