Unconstitutional, damaging to our democracy and--last time I checked--murder is a crime. Let's not gussy it up and call it acts of war. This is murder.

This is the FIFTH time Trump has carried out an illegal bombing in the Caribbean.

Using the military to execute alleged criminals with no due process or input from Congress is brazenly unconstitutional and damaging to our democracy.

Unless and until some kind of compelling legal and moral argument is presented as to why this is a legitimate use of deadly force, this is just…mass murder.

These ahistorian kleptocrats don’t know how to use a calendar or check facts- obviously.

- Trump was president on J6.
- Jack Smith has nothing to do w/ the Mar-a-Lago search. Trump hosrded top secret documents, lying @ it, hid them & got others to lie for him. He was GUILTY.

Gym J is an idiot.

Donald Trump, who believes he has earned a Nobel Peace Prize, says Bibi asked him for weapons and "we'd get them here"

He then tells Netanyahu, "You obviously used them very well."

Agree! We will need to make our democracy stronger, social justice & voting rights more embedded in the system, with stronger avenues of protection against illegal executive branch, judicial branch & congressional crimes, abuses of power and ethics.

1. There are more of us than them
2. It seems scary/permanent now, but there will come a time when they are no longer in power
3. Aggressive post-trump admin prosecutions must come
4. Major reform to reduce the power of the executive branch is due

Keep protesting. They see you. We see you. ✊🐸

Originalism is a SEDITIONIST theory—seeking to UNDO Constitutional Amendments, such as the end of slavery & women’s voting rights. Originalists want to undo the intent of those changes through regressive interpretation.

Originalists would take us back to 1780.

Think about what that means.

We're told at least one person was arrested—and later released with a citation for disorderly—by Broadview police for simply being on the Maywood side of 25th at Harvard St outside the ICE facility this morning.

They were documenting agents coming and going as electeds have told people to do.

Yes, we indeed have a serious problem.

A tweet by Robert Reich reads:
“The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion. The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion. Read that back. When 400 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.”

What the NYT *means* to say is SCOTUS is about to forbid *stopping* MAGAs from using race in redistricting schemes.
