We're proud to endorse Kat Abughazaleh in IL-9!

@katmabu.bsky.social has never hesitated to call out abuse of power or stand with communities targeted by ICE and growing authoritarian forces.

Her bold, grassroots campaign demands a government that works for all of us.

Impeach, convict, remove.

And if our current leaders won’t do it, they need to step aside for people who will.

Guys. Please stop dropping into my replies on any post that doesn't mention Epstein and accuse me of being distracted. Once you have more lawsuits filed to release the files than I do, we can talk. Until then, I can hold more than one thought in my head. Thanks!

I really hope they court-martial Mark Kelly. That will be the end of this fascist regime.
They lost the cases against Leticia James and James Comey today. Now Pete Hegseth wants to court-martial Senator Mark Kelly!

We can do away with it without a new Supreme Court. Nor do we need a constitutional amendment. There’s a far simpler way to get rid of Citizens United. Let me explain. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/how-to-get-rid-of-citizens-united

This is not a peace plan. It is a proposal that weakens Ukraine and divides America from Europe, preparing the way for a larger war in the future. In the meantime, it benefits unnamed Russian and American investors, at the expense of everyone else.

This classification will make it impossible for students to access federally-backed loans for their studies. Of note: most of these disciplines are pursued by women. This is an attempt to keep women out of the workforce. ALSO, many of these jobs require mandatory reporting of child abuse. Weird, no?

🧵 Let’s be so effing for real right now. The Department of Education saying these jobs are no longer PROFESSIONAL is dumb as hell and insulting as fuck. It takes YEARS of post-graduate training, including passing certifying exams, to earn degrees in these fields. #fdt #momsky

This is a *great* piece, which I have been touting for weeks, by wonderful (lawyer/writer) Lincoln Caplan, on why John Roberts deserves at least as much focus as Trump himself (or Alito, Thomas, Miller, JDV, etc) for war on US institutions.

He has replaced Roger Taney in Scotus Hall of Shame.
Harvard Magazine on Harvard alum John Roberts:

"The leader of the nation’s judicial system has empowered the president who is the most disdainful in history of the decrees of judges, the provisos of the Constitution, and the workings of American democracy." www.harvardmagazine.com/legal/suprem...

Before the midterms of 1866, President Andrew Johnson called his congressional opponents traitors and said they should be hanged.

Voters were so profoundly moved by his words... that they gave his opponents a supermajority in Congress, and the nation got the Fourteenth Amendment.

Thanks for reminding us that he is learning from MBS.
Clearly, Trump has learned something from his good friend MBS: If you don't like what your political opponents say, execute them.

Unfortunately for Mr. Trump, that's not what we do in America.
Trump is calling for the six Democratic lawmakers who urged the military not to follow any illegal orders to be arrested, and he’s reposting replies saying they should be hanged and calling them terrorists.

Last night’s lavish White House dinner showed us the global oligarchy coming together in plain sight.

By cozying up to MBS, Trump has signaled to the world that the United States is now on the side of authoritarianism, not democracy.

Not ONE member of Congress of the other party has condemned, or even mildly criticized, this violent threat against their colleagues.
Donald Trump should keep his reckless mouth shut.
