Don’t forget LBJ and the war on poverty. If the Dems could just divorce themselves from wall street and dirty money, grow a spine and a set of cajones, and walk the walk, that’d be super.

Can this administration get any more Racist?
Do you need any more proof that they are Nazis?
I don’t care what your heritage is, these are Americans & removing reports on missing/murdered Americans is absolutely despicable & unconscionable.

Mary Ziegler points out that no Republicans voted against the failed South Carolina bill that would have jailed women for up to 30 years for abortion. But the point of such bills is that they incrementally mainstream the most extreme anti-abortion positions.
South Carolina Tried to Pass a Bill Jailing Women for Abortion. No Republican Voted Against It.
South Carolina legislators debated what would be the most stringent abortion law in the nation.

The Supreme Court Enabled Revenge Prosecutions

Chief Justice John Roberts said sweeping immunity was necessary to avoid a president who would “prosecute his predecessors."

In the year since, rather than preventing the weaponization of prosecutions, the court has unleashed it.

NEW — I dug into the story of ICE abducting a 13-year-old boy in Massachusetts and moving him 500 miles across state lines without notifying his mother, local cop's complicity, and how the federal government's justification for such cruelty is already falling apart:
ICE took a 13-year-old they said had a gun. Local cops say he didn’t.
Now he's detained 500 miles away from his Massachusetts home.
