A few reminders about the SCOTUS immunity decision for Presidents:
It does not provide immunity for prior crimes.
It does not provide immunity to the President's cabinet.
Similar to Roe v. Wade, it can be overturned in the future.

If you’re feeling defeated today, then you are feeling exactly what Trump and Bondi want you to feel.
FEEL ANGRY and DETERMINED instead. This isn’t a restaurant and you can’t just be annoyed that the server didn’t bring you your justice yet.

Warnock: He's got a lot of nerve saying that I'm using faith to divide people. This is a man who literally had protesters gassed and beaten down so he could hold up a bible in front of a church.

I'm already seeing a lot of single issue voters shit posting about one thing or another. If we don't come together and vote for the big picture we'll be pissing '28 away.

Once fair elections are gone, the only way to regain democracy will be war, either an underground insurgency or full blown armed warfare. I see no other alternative. The founders understood the price paid for freedom, too bad most Americans forgot.

I bet Trump has had dementia or Alzheimer's for years. He has mumbled things that make no sense in no apparent order or with any logic for years.
Maybe that means he's nearing the end of his disease...eventually, those conditions get you, and we have all witnessed the decline.

After getting to know many of the photographer's work here on #Bluesky, many are just as deserving, if not more... IMHO..🤔

I hope someone draws this wonderful story about Tom Stoppard's Arcadia and the power of the arts to help us see things differently, to the attention of our Education Secretary. Do read it, it will lift your spirits.

Then he deploys the national guard to protect against the people he pardons.
It’s a vicious cycle of corruption and stupidity.

while I’m being cranky, access journalism needs to go. When the president does his “I’m alpha because I insulted you” thing somebody needs to fall on his sword and say “what the fuck is wrong with you, old man?” on a hot mic. the hero of the wizard of Oz is Toto.

He attacks science and higher ed, driving top talent to flee, then complains we don't have talent and must bring in immigrants with h1b visas that he's charging $100,000 a pop for.
He's ok with immigration so long as he can exploit and profit from it.

This is a lie. All 31 Moms for Liberty candidates in contested races lost their 2025 elections. The only "wins" were in uncontested races. Apparently, being hypocritical, book-banning scolds isn't so popular.

Every person who thinks it's just pedantry to argue about what constitutes "fascism" should think very hard about how much damage has been done to American life by the indiscriminate and incorrect usage of words like "terrorism," "war," "treason" and "communist", among many others.

Hated to see the Blue Jays lose tonight but it was a helluva game, and a helluva season. The Dodgers are an amazing team, no shame in losing to that level of talent in Game 7.
