During my 50 years in this supposedly “evenly divided” country, we’ve had a liberal-majority SCOTUS for exactly 0 years.
The idea that America "swings back and forth" is just right-wing marketing BS. What we’ve seen in the US is a relentless 75-year erosion of civil rights and public power.

Excellent piece from Adam Serwer at The Atlantic:
“He is free to be a tyrant, because the boss is the boss. But to me, it seems unlikely that the founding generation, in rebelling against a monarch, was looking to replace him with an even more wretched class of despot.”

What worries me with ice is that the public has no way of knowing if they are really ice. They have unmarked vehicles, wear masks, show no warrants or legal paperwork, no identification, and appear very unprofessional and violent. Anyone could be impersonating ice to terrorize our communities.

They're investigating the victim's wife, the victim's friends, the mayor and the governor too, but no, they're not even going to glance in the direction of the murderer.
BREAM: Is the FBI investigating the ICE agent who shot Renee Good?
BLANCHE: What happened has been reviewed by millions of Americans bc it was recorded. We investigate when it's appropriate. That is not the case here. We are not going to bow to pressure. So no, we are not investigating.

President Trump is once again threatening to invoke the Insurrection Act, this time in Minneapolis. That would be a flagrant and particularly dangerous abuse of the Act—one that would threaten the rule of law and public safety alike. 1/13

The still-dominant position in the Democratic Party and associated consultants/pollsters is that X is where Real Americans are, and they are Persuadable—at least if politicians don’t sound Left and Woke—and this outreach is so important it’s worth the bigotry, child exploitation, and deep fake porn.
its funny watching dem politicians switch up their messaging between this app and child porn apps because all youre doing when you soften your language is piss off your voters in an attempt to appeal to a bunch of pedophiles who will never vote for you anyway

I guess we’re about to see if the Republicans would rather go to war with Europe than stand up to Donald Trump.
Treaties are federal law. As a signatory to the 1949 NATO treaty, the U.S. is barred by law from attacking another NATO member. Therefore, an order to draw up plans to attack Greenland is an illegal one. Military leaders are obligated to disobey illegal orders.
Lawyers correct me if I'm wrong.

The reason so many ICE agents are willing to break the law is that their leaders have created a permission and protection structure for doing so. ICE is killing & kidnapping citizens because the Republican Party has given them the green light. If you break the law the president will just pardon you!

She then escapes, and they nab her again.
How many more of these scenes can we watch?
This isn't immigration control.
It is state-sponsored kidnapping.
