Freedom of speech may be the one constitutional right the current Supreme Court doesn’t demolish.

Supreme Court seems skeptical about state bans on conversion therapy for LGBTQ+ kids - The Boston Globe

The court’s conservative majority didn’t seem convinced that states can restrict talk therapy aimed at changing feelings while allowing counseling that affirms kids identifying as gay or transgender.

This is not what democracy looks like. Anyone who cares at all about the Constitution has to take a stand against this and against MAGA.

Donald Trump is bringing pain to his own people and trying to make a fool of the Dems. We’re gonna need more than a strongly worded letter to win this fight.

The Steady State @steadystatevets.bsky.social · 15h

We at The Steady State have studied the indicators of authoritarianism for decades — usually dry words in intelligence reports. But sometimes, a single photograph says it all.

Authoritarianism doesn’t arrive all at once. It creeps in under cover of “order,” cloaked in uniforms, justified by fear.

People discuss how things may have to be reconciled in America if we have the chance to recover the system from the perverse actions taking place. The first order is for public officials to actually execute the tasks as Constitutional officers that they demured last time. It has to be done.

"If the Supreme Court officially makes the chief executive a unitary executive, the advancement of the public good may depend on little more than the whims of the president, a state of affairs normally more characteristic of dictatorship than democracy." www.salon.com/2025/10/08/t...

The Supreme Court is headed toward a radically new vision of unlimited presidential power - Salon.com

In a series of cases over the past 15 years, the Supreme Court has moved in a pro-presidential direction.

Oregon National Guard Adjutant General, General Gronewold says if they are federalized, that he will advise the Title 10 commander to utilize National Guard Troops to PROTECT protesters at ICE facilities. This is the right answer.

Ruben @gallego.senate.gov, D-Ariz., says GOP senators tell him they want a health care deal. “The biggest sticking point now that I’m hearing from them is like, even if we get something, [Mike] Johnson is just going to tank it. So why? Why would we move if Johnson is going to tank it?”

The ICE stories in this Reddit thread should shake every American, regardless of party, to their core. We no longer have a Constitution. This is fascism, pure and simple.

🚨Our poll shows us beating Susan Collins!

I’ve spent the past decade fighting corruption and working to reform our broken political system. I’m ready for the fight that this moment demands and look forward to serving Mainers in the Senate.
