SCOTUS looks ready to erase another key piece of the Voting Rights Act, this time by striking down Louisiana’s Black-majority district for “relying too much on race.” Let me translate…they’re opening the door for states to erase Black and Latino districts that usually vote blue.

This is simoly wrong. Americans r going hungry, TACO & the GOP are planning to pull millions off health care. We all need to get out on the streets on SAT, stay safe, and refuse to engage in violent behavior. We are better than he is.

Miriam Griffin, an American scholar of Roman antiquity at Oxford University, published Nero: The End of a Dynasty in 1984. Toward the end of his reign, she recounts, "Nero lost all sense of right and wrong and listened to flattery with total credulity." In case that reminds you of anyone.

I wonder if Noem has considered writing screen plays

DHS reports:

“narcoterrorists in Mexico are reportedly working in coordination with domestic extremist groups to place bounties worth thousands of dollars on the heads of federal immigration officers in Chicago.”

It actually is kind of brilliant, in a corrupt, malevolent, evil-genius kind of way.

When you realize Trump & Vance are gangsters and kleptocrats like most authoritarians, and realize they actually hate Americans and are out to screw them over, it makes sense. Clever scam. bsky.app/profile/4ani...

Lori Sirianni @4animallife.bsky.social · 1d

It's kleptocracy. Asset-stripping.

Trump deliberately destroys the US farming industry w tariffs that cause farmers to lose their export markets, they go bankrupt and lose their farms, and Vance & his company swoop in buying up farmland for pennies on the dollar.

Gonna control the US food supply.⚠️

arguably it is treason - Trump is entrusted with the welfare of the country & he is doing EVERYTHING he can to destroy the country - sounds like treason to me - certainly his behavior is impeachable but it also, I would argue, achieves the level of treason

DHS says those arrested included “the worst of the worst pedophiles, child abusers, kidnappers, gang members, and armed robbers”

“The worst” of these are employed at the WH
