The GOP that gave us the Jan 6 terrorist attack and then pardoned the terrorists is calling the No Kings rally a pro-terrorist rally. These are despicable people.

Ukrainian Defense Minister Shmyhal said he discussed recent successful deep strikes on Russian territory with his US counterpart. “We need to do more, combine sanctions, deep strikes, and frontline pressure. Long-range missiles must be part of this,” he said.

This entire argument by Louisiana and the conservatives questions are premised on an erasure of Congress’ enforcement power under the 14th & 15th Amendments.

Literally swinging for the fences to wipe out the premise for the legitimacy of Congress’ power to enact civil rights statutes.

Oh, I get it now.

That guy in the funny suit who sings with the raspy voice was just detained. They waited until right b4 our NO KINGS protest to arrest him to scare us away

As my brother used to say,
BE AFRAID, AND DO IT ANYWAY

I'm a small old lady, and I will be at my protest.

A Bronx family lived without utilities for over 6 weeks after they were shut off without explanation.

The landlord, despite receiving severe violation notices, didn't fix the problem.

HPD couldn’t turn the utilities back on, so it issued the family a vacate order.
These Bronx Tenants Lived Six Weeks Without Water and Power. The City’s Fix? A Vacate Order
The plight of the Ramos family reveals the weaknesses in the City's system to protect tenants from unlivable conditions—and from being put out on the street.

Griem goes there, arguing in response to Justice Jackson that there can be no race-conscious remedy absent a finding of intentional discrimination.
