Area man, who decided George W. Bush being President was more important than counting everyone’s votes, has concerns about the survival of democracy in 🇺🇸
Justice Anthony Kennedy tells @npr.org's @ninatotenberg.bsky.social "very worried" about our country, and that "Democracy is not guaranteed to survive."
Kennedy wrote Citizens United and was the fifth vote in the rest of the Roberts Court's anti-democratic decisions.

Looks like the Portland ICE facility on Macadam is next door to a Tesla showroom? Appropriate
Gonna wrap it up here. Will presumably soon be more CNN trucks than protesters.
The war will not be televised. Mainly because it doesn't exist 😅

@govpritzker.illinois.gov what authority does ICE have to manage use of public roads? That sounds like a job for local and state law enforcement.
Not ICE.

ICE just chased everyone off the public road by the Broadview facility. They yelled for people to move and immediately began firing gas into the crowd, which included legal observers, press, and medics.

What the hell is happening? Trump just posting a fake video of himself promising every America access to a medical technology that doesn't exist.
Did Trump see this AI video of himself and think it was real?
Does he know this is not him?
Does he not remember what announcements he films?

Trump tonight appears to have pushed the false "medbed" conspiracy theory, which has spread in the far-right internet over the years. www.yahoo.com/news/qanon-c...
