Judge Wolf says that “what we have now under President Trump is utterly inconsistent with equal justice under law.”
Judge Mark Wolf on why he resigned:
What we have now under President Trump is utterly inconsistent with equal justice under law. I watched, virtually day after day, his direction to the DOJ to prosecute his perceived political enemies and to insulate his friends, his family….

This video will inspire you and break your heart and remind you why we humans have a chance - this is famous Ukrainian ‘Schedryk’ - you might know it as Carol of the Bells - performed live at one of DTEK thermal power situations ruined by Russian attacks
P.s. it will make you cry.

Like the DoD, the Kennedy Center’s name cannot be officially changed without an act of Congress.
The creation of the Kennedy Center is outlined in U.S. Code, which specifically designates the cultural site as the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts.

This is as accurate as it gets, and believing it reassures me that his name, his bronze plaques, and his gold embellishments will be removed from everything once he’s gone.

ICE PEPPER SPRAYED A ONE-YEAR-OLD because her mother was filming them.
ICE pepper-sprayed this 1-year-old girl.
Once at the hospital, the doctor had to call in a poison control specialist.
They had never seen anyone that young pepper sprayed.
Another horrific story.
More details below.

Unbelievable - you literally wire money to some unspecified account. I assume this is so Trump can treat it as a slush fund he can deploy unconstrained by Congress (in violation of the Constitution).

#PedoPresident Trump was never a "business genius."
And his only lifetime business experience was/is as a sole proprietor of a real estate and licensing conglomorate.
As POTUS, he runs the US federal govt as his sole proprietorship for his personal gain.

It was great to see everyone at yesterday's Gun Violence Prevention Summit and National Vigil For All Victims of Gun Violence. We had a day full of collaborating and strategizing, followed by an important moment of remembrance for all of those who drive us to do this work.

"You can give up certain products. You could give up pencils. Because under the China policy, every child can get 37 pencils. They don’t need that many. And you don't need 37 gold baby carriages. 2 or 3 is nice. You must go without, even though affordability is a hoax. See? I've fixed the problem!"

Every part of this is bonkers. The intro is bonkers. The transition to his health is bonkers. The mention that other presidents didn't need cognitive exams is bonkers. The claim that this screening test is somehow hard is bonkers. The idea that criticism of him is treason is bonkers. All of it.
