The Supreme Court, Presidency, Senate and two party system are all quite anti-democratic institutions as presently constructed.
Our institutions are not only incapable of preventing tyranny—they’re currently enabling it.
When democracy returns, we need to reform our political system.

Not only is ICE snatching hard working people who are trying to earn a living, they’re taking their money too?
A witness recorded ICE agents taking a cash box from a taco stand in La Puente during an operation where four people were arrested.

All true.
We are the 2nd largest Country by land mass. We are a beautiful Country from the Atlantic to the Pacific Oceans. We have an abundance of fresh water lakes and rivers. We have free health care and social programs to support our citizens. We play hockey and Trump can kiss my Canadian Ass.

An economist from Ghana told me that a bonus reason for promoting wind and solar power is that it’s much harder to use for corruption and repressive geopolitics.
Remind me again. Who is in favour of fossil fuels?

Folks like to criticize my home state of Ohio,
but so long as you ignore the nightmare politics
and don’t answer the cornfield whispers
and remember to fill your pockets with salt
before hiking the Appalachian foothills,
it’s really a fine place to live.

Good morning to everyone but especially Justice Sonia Sotomayor who 👏🏾has 👏🏾time 👏🏾today to eviscerate the argument that Trump has near unlimited power to fire agency heads for political reasons, given that neither English law at the time of the founding nor the US Constitution supports such nonsense

We kNOW why this is ---See below.
Every real economist in America warned at the time he was imposing tariffs that it would affect each of these things, and deportations have affected the ability of farmers to access labor. This is all happening because of one man.

A Democratic Party not having an explicit platform of reforming the Judicial Branch after today is not a party I want to vote for.
