An essential feature of authoritarianism is that the leader - not courts - decides who is guilty and who is not.

Santos - who Trump said is getting a commutation bc he “votes Republican” - is the 10th high profile loyalist to get a pardon or clemency.

We cannot accept this.

“Pardons and commutations offer X-rays into the souls of presidents. More than any other presidential actions, clemencies tell us who they are.” Jeff Toobin has this exactly right. Trump’s use of the pardon power sullies its purpose but reveals who the man is.

It’s hard to convey just how much Chicagoans are mobilizing against ICE. Don’t want to downplay the harm, or make it seem like a fair fight. But in neighborhoods across this city, ICE is getting chased by people blowing whistles and shouting. People are running TOWARD ICE to protect their neighbors.
$40 billion for Argentina, $172 million for private jets for Corey Lewandowski's puppy killing mistress, embezzling $230 million because you think you deserve to be compensated for your past criminal actions in office.
States have been notified that November food stamp benefits won’t go out due to the government shutdown. 42 million people rely on them. Are we winning yet?

And everyone expected it.
Guardian: Since Israel & Hamas signed the ceasefire, Israel has violated it 47 times, killing 38 Palestinians, wounding 143 more.

Netanyahu still blames Hamas, all while he bans journalists to prevent independent confirmation of his claims.

He Is A War Criminal.

The Dissent from 9th Circuit judge Susan Graber is powerful: “observers may be tempted to view the majority’s ruling, which accepts the government’s characterization of
Portland as a war zone, as merely absurd. But today’s decision is not merely absurd. It erodes core constitutional principles”

Peter Thiel always looks like he just burned his eyebrows off while lighting a crystal meth pipe at a sweaty sex party for waxed gay men who aspire to look like butch lesbians. If the scent of amyl nitrate took human form… 👇🏻👇🏻
So he's going to use it to refund all those donations he solicited for his legal defense???
It’s their god given 2A right. I mean, at least they’re not killing puppies.
