She probably should have impressed this upon Kavanaugh before he issued an opinion endorsing what are now known as “Kavanaugh stops.”

Amy Coney Barrett defends heavy use of the shadow docket: "If we wrote a long opinion, it might give the impression that we have finally resolved the issue, and in none of these cases have we finally resolved the issue."

No mandate, and there are much more reasonable and humane ways to enforce immigration, but this march is about so much more than immigration- its about the virtually unchecked power grab, and throwing ordinary Americans under the bus in favor of billionaires and cronies.

Over the past months, Trump has escalated efforts to consolidate power, punish political enemies, and weaponize the machinery of government. Only the people, in numbers, can stop him. 🧵

You told us at the last event you wanted more bathrooms, better sound and to see the speakers. We have more safety volunteers. This is what it takes to deliver that experience in an event this size. We've been working around the clock. I'm proud of our team but we could use your support.🧵

Trump is a wanna be king. He wants to be a dictator. It takes people power to enable people power, but it also takes a little bit more.

We are expecting for No Kings Seattle Oct. 18 to be the largest protest in Seattle history. 🧵
We can’t do it without you! secure.actblue.com/donate/nokin...

What they do now is either: a. Fit in and go along, but then stop opportunistically and call officers names, and try to incite an attack, or b. Blend in, and throw objects( like a water bottle)from the middle, then slip away as ICE/DHS uses increased retaliatory force to “control the situation”

“We can give $20 billion to Argentina but we can’t afford the CDC’s measles experts” is a hell of an argument

There it is: $20 billion for Argentina at the same time they’re taking markets away from our farmers.

But no $ for health insurance for Americans?

RIFed:

Several CDC staff currently working on an Ebola outbreak overseas.

You know — the ones literally helping contain and prevent it from spreading. (Like, to the U.S.)

Trust us: dying from Ebola is a MISERABLE way to die.
