Your taxpayer dollars are being used to imprison children. CHILDREN.
It is sick, but we cannot look away. I’m grateful Diana is home, and will continue to show up and fight for all children to be free.

Great thread on Alito retiring, and if that happens a likely SCOTUS fight.
There is a 🧪angle.
The major scientific societies like @aaas.org should have a Supreme Court nominee fight strategy.
The Trump noms will be anti-science.
We shld draw up a plan now.

So @elienyc.bsky.social and @strictscrutiny.bsky.social have speculated that Alito may retire soon. I agree. Elie lays out the case here—it'd be odd to release a memoir in October if he's (a) still serving and (b) unable to promote it because he's hearing arguments. www.thenation.com/article/poli...
Is Samuel Alito Preparing to Disrobe?
In this installment of Elie v. US, our justice correspondent explores the week’s big legal news, including a possible Alito retirement. Also, the anti-trans mob’s latest target: tight clothing.

The president is overruling science to eliminate measures that protect us from pollution and environmental damage, mainly to benefit multinational corporations that have thrown money at his campaign, ballroom, and family.
It's simple corruption, and it will cost American lives and livelihoods.

By moving to the “center,” Democrats have failed to fight the forces that led us to Trump: widening inequality and the unchecked power of billionaires.
There's no "center" anymore between a takeover of the government by oligarchs and true freedom.
Dems need to learn this.

Good news, you can take the money you aren't saving on gas to pay for your child's asthma
Q: What do you tell Americans who are concerned that repealing the endangerment finding comes at a host to public health and the environment based on science?
TRUMP: I tell them don't worry about it. This was all a scam. They'll have more money to spend for healthcare.

He had a high security clearance in the Trump administration... and he was caught trying to abuse children. Sickening.

Once again, we are being far too lenient with DHS. Fascists move faster than legal and electoral systems can keep up.
While voting and litigation are vital, they are not enough to stave off a rapid, deliberate authoritarian effort.
