I can’t believe I have to say this, but historically, masked men who kidnap families in the middle of the night are usually not the good guys.

What will it take for regular people to understand that if they refuse to stand up against fascism they will not be spared? Fascism is a serial killer with no restrictions on who it targets.

Early voting is underway for Prop 50 in California.

I urge anyone in the state to vote yes.

This isn’t a race to the bottom. It’s a means of avoiding the bottom. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/what-blue-states-should-do-when-red

Disciplined, peaceful defiance can expose the illegitimacy of oppressive power.

RESIST.

Tomorrow the Epstein survivors will storm Capitol Hill to demand release of the files. I hope new Congresswoman Adelita Grijalva is sworn in at their press conference by another judge or official who is authorized to do so (doesn’t have to be the Speaker).

Roberts will go down as the worst chief justice in American history along with the Supreme Court from Hell.

Taking stock of the Roberts court at 20—and the shadowy forces that built it

"Roberts will go down in history as the most destructive chief justice."

This has nothing to do with crime. This is an attempt to crush political dissent.

Never before, in our entire 250 year history, has the military or immigration agents been used like this. It's dystopian, illegal, and it should stop.

"This is supposed to be an oversight hearing" -- Schiff helpfully ticks through all of the incriminating questions -- and there are many of them -- that Bondi refused to answer during today's hearing

Well there you go. I’m in the right place and so are you. There are people on both sides that need to get their shit together and actually, truly, pay attention. Absolutely correct. 💙

And her district has been without representation since March when her dad passed away. He represented that district well for years.

Someone needs some coffee. The comment wasn't meant for those paying attention. It was meant for everyone else mindlessly floating through their days because none of this has directly effected them. Forgive me if I think people aren't paying attention enough. It's why we have this fucking idiot back

Mueller, She Wrote @muellershewrote.com · Nov 15

Billionaire grifters are about to dismantle your government. So instead of your tax dollars going to your Medicare or your Medicaid or your affordable care act or to veterans benefits or your social security - it will go to THEM in the form of tax cuts for the wealthy.
