It's very alarming to me that so many folks are like "vote" as the clear strategy right now. Like sure, vote. But why is anyone under the impression that voting will stop people hellbent on violence from simply taking power? Please read the room.

If you have recurring monthly donations to, say, Planned Parenthood or the ACLU, please consider shifting that money to abortion funds where it can do the most immediate good

The immunity decision and now obvious negating of the NY convictions makes me even angrier at Fani Willis' unforced error. The Georgia case is strong! It should be a golden ticket! But thanks to her actions it's never going to move forward.

People keep referencing guillotines & gallows, but the American response to this situation has tended to range from "mob justice" to "mail bombs" For these reasons, past generations of US elites have sought to preserve at least the *illusion* of a fair system of laws. But the mask is fully off now.

When there's a Dem president liberals are like "the president CAN'T [good thing he campaigned on]." Now the SC is like "the president can do whatever lol [rattles tip jar]" and liberals are still on their "if you expect the president to help anything, you're a child who wants a pony" spiel.

For historians, the retrospective legitimation of essentially every criminal act Nixon committed while in office is quite mind-boggling. Ford’s pardon was utterly unnecessary.

throughout the Trump immunity decision, the Court champions the idea of an unfettered, uninhibited President. the darkest part of the opinion isn’t that it paves the way for an authoritarian leader, it’s that it yearns for one

Don’t be surprised When police start rolling busses to encampment sweeps, we are about to see massive operations to imprison and hunt the poor by police nationwide. I would assume we also see the same thing that has happened at the border where police deputize rightwing militias to help.

It's important to understand that you CANNOT lump all religions together into one big whole, which is where many militant Capital A Atheists get in trouble. They tend to see all religion as Christianity. And it's NOT. So much Atheism is just informed by Christianity and it results in bigotry.
