Agent lobs a gas canister into a residential neighborhood in Illinois for no discernible reason, gassing dozens of neighbors including a baby. The comfort with which they deploy weapons of war is unreal.

Like any Trump
deal things are not as promoted re Middle East Peace”, which is really a cease fire hostage/cadaver exchange with disarmament, well kind of, maybe, soon “or else“ sort of “do what makes me look good“ or “you’re fired“ —literally.

Trump says U.S. will disarm Hamas if it does not do so itself

Hamas has not yet publicly agreed to or signed anything that specifies how it would disarm, but Trump suggested he had received verbal assurances.

How I Expect the Supreme Court to Kill Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act in Callais (If It Does So): Not By Direct Overruling but By Pretending They Are Simply Reinterpreting the Meaning of Section 2 electionlawblog.org?p=152471

How I Expect the Supreme Court to Kill Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act in Callais (If It Does So): Not By Direct Overruling but By Pretending They Are Simply Reinterpreting the Meaning of Section 2...

I’ve written of good reason to believe the Supreme Court is going to sap Section 2 of its power in the Louisiana v. Callais case, being argued on Wednesday. I won’t rehash those arguments here. Instea...

The thing about tinydick's Time cover that brings me immense joy?
Look at him. It's his I AM KING OF THE WORLD pose

He JUST realized how absolutely ridiculous he looks

A personal photo you can tell yourself a story and put it to sleep/destroy a copy

Guys like Russel Vought are the real perpetrators of the deep state.
He's the architect behind Project 2025 and now taking over DOGE from Musk.
He wants to bring about fascism and bring an end to our democracy. This POS is a traitor to our country.

🚨CALL TO ACTION🚨

When power centralizes, resistance must decentralize. Apps can’t protect us, only people can. Build networks & community protection!

Organize where you live, or they’ll organize how you live. ✊🏻

#ICE isn't "deporting" immigrants, it is kidnapping them.

#DOGE isn't "fixing" the government, it is dismantling it.

#Trump isn't "helping" Americans, he is retaliating against them.

Pam Bondi isn't "upholding" the Constitution, she is ignoring it.

I hate that J.K. Rowling’s books opened my child’s interest in reading chapter books, only for her to spend the next decade using that same influence to attack my child’s rights and humanity, and those of countless others like them.

She has a rotten soul.
