The irony is not lost on many in Washington that Trump says spitting on a DC cop is justification for hitting/punching back "hard" when he pardoned hundreds of Jan. 6 rioters who assaulted those same cops — and said attacks on them that day were "minor."

You’ll have to excuse me if I can’t take seriously what defines antisemitism from a party that refers to Nazis chanting “Jews will not replace us” as very fine people. #antisemitism #freepalestine

If you’re more upset by what @ronfilipkowski.bsky.social and @meidastouch.com pointed out about TX lawmakers and GOP voters bearing responsibility for the flood deaths than you are about TX officials blaming NWS and NOAA for not giving advanced warning after voting to gut those agencies, fuck you.

this is, by definition, not an "immigration crackdown"

include deporting convicted U.S. citizens and charging anyone — not just immigrants - who
criticizes Trump's policies.

Exiling people beyond the protection of US law without due process is not only unconstitutional, it's a rejection of the entire American revolutionary project. Sending people "beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences" is one of the grievances enumerated in the Declaration of Independence.
