Just want to point out that it is a crime to threaten to murder a Congressperson-- and a crime that absolutely falls outside the purview of any presidential immunity granted by the Supreme Court consistent with presidential authority.
Full stop, a crime and an impeachable offense.

Before the midterms of 1866, President Andrew Johnson called his congressional opponents traitors and said they should be hanged.
Voters were so profoundly moved by his words... that they gave his opponents a supermajority in Congress, and the nation got the Fourteenth Amendment.

No lawmaker in Congress should be able to buy, own, and sell individual stocks. Period. Let's make Congressional stock trading illegal.

US citizen Maria Greeley, a Latina who was adopted, was walking home from work downtown when masked agents zip tied her. They said she “doesn’t look like a Greeley.” This is how the government treats people under current deportation policies.

People outside of science think this is nothing that concerns them. "Oh, it's harder to get grants now? Big deal."
But everyone deserves the rapid pace of advancements in science, medicine, and technology that our parents enjoyed. The Trump Administration's actions are taking that from everyone.

I think @theradr.bsky.social explained it best when she said that the excuse of "rooting out antisemitism" for violent state action is just another way of setting up Jews to take the blame for the excesses of the powerful (in this case, violent Islamophobia)

Enslaved people built the White House. I don’t care if it’s defiled or burnt down. I care more about people being disappeared, families being ripped apart. I get the symbolic feeling, but we also need to get serious.
