We have a lawless, criminal enterprise at the helm.

They are planning to never leave.

They have the power and they are not going to give it up.

Judicial rulings won't do it.

Elections won't do it.

Institutional processes won't do it.

A people's rebellion won't do it.

It must be FORCE.

Q: Politico reported on a group chat of young Republicans. Does this just reflect some bad apples?

HOCHUL: Some bad apples? These are the future of the GOP. This is so vile it's hard to find the words to put into context ... there's gotta be consequences ... this bullshit has to stop.

They're trying to prevent the student newspaper from printing news, period. Not just a particular story.

"The Media School directed us to print no news in the paper... nothing but information about homecoming — no other news at all, and particularly no traditional front page news coverage."

adviser amid push to control
student newspaper's content

The director of student media at Indiana University was fired amidst a dispute between university leadership and editors at the Indiana Daily Student over what content gets printed in the student newspaper.

As director of student media, Jim Rodenbush did not directly oversee or have any say over the content published in the IDS, per a charter between the IDS and the university. But he told IndyStar his firing follows a series of meetings with IU Media School leadership in which it grew increasingly apparent they were expecting him to officially prohibit students from publishing news.

Trump just bombed six more people in the Caribbean, for a total of 27 civilians who have been killed so far by the US military. It’s illegal for the military to target civilians who do not pose an immediate threat. This is murder.

Another deadly US strike on a boat in the Caribbean. Like previous ones:
-targeted based on proven liars saying “drug traffickers” without presenting any evidence
-illegal under both US and int’l law
-where US forces aren’t under threat and can interdict
-bad strategy if actually against traffickers

Republicans control the House, the Senate, and the White House.

They’d rather keep the government shut down than negotiate to keep health care affordable.

DHS crossed the line drawn by the Hatch Act when it directed airports to air a political attack video blaming Democrats for TSA workers’ lost paychecks. What occurred was not communication; it was coercion.
