I want to do everything, all at once. I make good trouble, rail against inequity, believe in fundamental fairness and question authority. Too old and broken for the physical fight, I'll help in any other ways I can. Don't thump your book at me or limit anyone's human rights and we'll get along fine.

Anyone defending execution as a reasonable punishment for drug smuggling is a Nazi. Pass it on.

Ever wonder how it happens that the vast majority of Americans support a thing but it never comes to a vote? Or maybe it DOES come to a vote but gets drowned in attachments or voted down by "representatives" wholly owned and operated by corps? Time for a revamp of the entire system. Vote Progressive
At one point or another, we're all going to need to see a doctor.
But our health care system remains unaffordable, inaccessible, and deeply dysfunctional. It is unacceptable.
That’s why a strong majority of Americans agree: We need Medicare for All.

It doesn't take a legal scholar to tell you government murdering people without due process (and I would argue even WITH due process) is criminal. While the convict may argue presidential immunity allows this it IS a war crime. No other country should allow war criminals entry unless to surrender.
🧵A legal scholar finds the killing by special forces of survivors in the Navy attack on an alleged drug boat to be a war crime and murder.
"the currently governing DOD Manual in Section 5.9 states clearly that persons “placed hors de combat may not be made the object of attack.” ...

White people (myself included) need to DO BETTER! Challenge the racism and misogyny at ALL levels, from interactions at the grocery store, to local school board meetings, to holiday gatherings. Do NOT let it stand.

A federal judge has dismissed the criminal charges against former F.B.I. Director James Comey and New York Attorney General Letitia James, ruling that the prosecutor Trump handpicked to pursue the cases was illegally appointed.

If you haven't already canceled Spotify for paying artists fractions of pennies, cancel them for recruiting thugs who argue in court that they have the "right" to brutalize any human being in this country in their sole discretion.
Spotify is helping ICE recruit more agents to infringe our rights and terrorize our communities. Stop paying for or using the app until Spotify stops running ads for ICE: indivisible.org/cancel-spotify?source=bluesky

So, Florida record keepers, go back into those employment records and verify that the Convict hired a 15 year old to work at an adult "spa." Presumably he paid state and federal taxes required for this employee (if not, do an Al Capone on him). Verify then see how the cult defends that one.

Back in the day, in order to be sworn in as a member of a state bar, the applicant had to prove good moral character and ethical behavior. Shouldn't that standard continue to be a threshold to maintain the privilege of having a law license?
"In the end, why would Halligan bother to learn how to do her actual job? She’s in this role to prosecute Trump's enemies. She has no qualms about unethical behavior, and no reservations about bringing charges when no one else will. She’s the perfect vessel for Trump’s rage." — @snipy.bsky.social

Keep on suing when a federal agency injures you. Hold them to a reasonable standard. This was NOT reasonable!
