“We’re living in a world where six Republican Supreme Court justices used the courts of a monarchy we revolted against as the controlling authority on whether the President of the United States has to follow the Constitution.”

The Supreme Court’s decision in Medina hands Christian nationalists a major win—letting states cut off Planned Parenthood from Medicaid with zero accountability.

Patients lose their rights. Religion wins special treatment.

"6 Trump Voters React to the U.S.’ Bombing of Nuclear Sites in Iran" --New York Times.

--That isn't journalism! It's not even a "story." IT'S A FUCKING ANCEDOTE about some shit your heard while standing in line at a Klan rally. WHAT THE FUCK EVEN ARE WE DOING?

USA foreign policy in the Middle East for the last 50 is basically just attempting to bomb countries into being liberal democracies and getting really mad every single time when it never ever works.

As marines descend on LA, as Trump moves closer and closer to martial law, it will be tempting to victim-blame. To equivocate. To find some reason the protesters deserve what’s coming. They don’t.

This is exactly why the Founders built a wall between church and state.

A government-led Christian prayer service inside the Pentagon — during duty hours — that elevates Trump as divinely appointed is not just inappropriate, it's deeply unAmerican.

"[O]ur current population of 8.2 billion and counting has grossly overshot our planetary boundaries. ... Why on [our overcrowded] Earth should we try to aim for an even bigger population?"

In a scathing letter, Mahmoud Khalil writes from an ICE detention center in Louisiana, blasting Columbia University's role in his abduction and the targeting of other student activists by the Trump administration.

Vichy France ain’t got nothing on the Senate Democrats

Chris Quinn, editor of the Cleveland Plain Dealer: the problem with Cleveland/Northeast Ohio (and all Ohio cities) is that we don’t have enough MAGA decision-makers.

"[W]e’ve tried to do citizenship Trump’s way before. It led to war. It could again, if Trump is allowed to get away with it."

The President-elect “shall take the following oath or affirmation: ‘I do solemnly swear...and defend the Constitution of the United States.’ ”

The popular addition “so help me God” is not there. It never was. And the nation’s first 26 Presidents didn't say it.

The United States has laws and regulations against arming countries that commit genocide, but "everyone knew the rules were different for Israel.” @tomdispatch.bsky.social

Every single day in America, for-profit healthcare companies decide who lives and who dies. They don't do this based on morality. They don't do this to preserve limited resources.

They visibly and blatantly do this in the service of profit, which goes exclusively to an executive class.
