I say Trump is a treasonous, seditionous, imperialist bigot, serial child rapist, human trafficker, mafia member &war criminal. It's past time for the governors to enact their Guards and work with the Capital police to escort Trump & Vance to the ICC. The rest will be easy to prosecute thereafter.

It appears Congress thinks people living in the US and around the world are expendable. As rhetorician, I think it's past time for commentators to uncouple the definition of "leadership" from access to institutional levers of control. Those with access to such levers often lack a moral compass.

Congress can walk & chew gum at the same time. I guarantee you that Trump will commit more impeachable acts along the way as his cast of malevolent clowns have to fight off investigations that involve his decisions. 👉 The big Q — how many lackeys will he toss overboard to protect himself?

"The loss of a supine R majority & the prospect of any accountability is quite likely to push Trump to abuse power even further." Ds — impeach *everyone except Trump* first.

I'm a prof at Kent State Tusc; main campus admins at KSU sexually humiliated me to shut down a legal case that, pre-Trump 2.0, they were poised to lose. I took a long time to share my story because I was afraid. With LGBT students’ Title IX rights being stripped, I felt it was time to brave.

Do the police generally warn people not to commit terrorism because they’ll be arrested if they do? And if they don’t, would we say this is different because it’s deeply idiotic, as well as insulting and insanely authoritarian

The activist group Defend Our Juries has planned a mass show of support for the proscribed group Palestine Action outside Westminster Magistrates' Court tomorrow.
Expressing support for Palestine Action is an offence under the Terrorism Act. Those who do so will be arrested.

"Electability" conversation exists inside make-believe where only habitual voters turnout and some number must be coaxed into swapping parties, based on rational issue position calculus. In fact, what caused Dem MEGA Blue Wave in 2018 was unprecedented non-habitual & new voter turnout. /1

It's the whole state and won't just affect Haitians. If their community is deported en-masse, a lot of employers will have to leave jobs unfilled, because Americans won't do them for the pay. Nursing homes will lose THOUSANDS of workers. They're already critically understaffed.

The US isn't just complicit: it is aiding a genocide. Why? Because the US stole land and mass-murdered First Nations, broke treaties, destroyed the ecosystem, and installed a faux-religious racial apartheid state. Israel is going exactly what the US has already done, which is why the US endorses it.
