Yes. Americans elected him twice, it's perfectly fair to call the murders he commits American murders. America is murdering people at sea because our government pinky swears that they are drug smugglers. America killed more than a hundred little Iranian girls.

On Election Day they will do everything they can to interfere with you casting your vote, and it being counted. We MUST stand firm. After Election Day, they will try to make those votes vanish, or be discounted. Stand firm. The media will not help us. Film EVERYTHING u can (check your state's laws).

The Liberals and Conservatives teamed up again today — funny how that keeps happening — to get Bill C-39 over the hurdle of its first vote. The massive, 243-page bill bulldozes environmental protections, Indigenous rights and attacks the right to strike. Here's what this means:

any time i commented on her skeets about how she should be calling for impeachment, i had people get mad and tell me "The Senate can't impeach, learn how the government works commie!" felt pretty vindicated after the clip of her saying we shouldn't impeach if Dems win the midterms surfaced.

Hegseth also removed the olive branches, a traditional symbol of wishing peace, from the Department of Defense seal. This, in addition to changing the name to "The Department of War," shows the dangerous belligerency that comes from appointing a frat bro who values testosterone over statesmanship.

This is not dementia. It's treason. Betraying his oath of office to protect his citizens. Making us sacrificial lambs for a war he started. This fucking piece of shit stood on a stage and said millions of Americans dying is a “small price to pay.” And the crowd CHEERED. It's inconceivable.

It makes a lot of sense when you realize a lot of originalists idolize the Lochnerian view of the primacy of contracts above government's regulatory powers. He views marriage law as an extension of contract law and therefore sacrosanct even if he himself hates gays being able to marry.

The abortion referendum also includes a ban on third trimester abortions except in cases of risk to mother's health, which makes me squirm a bit because it's a GOP wedge issue even though much fewer than 1% of abortions happen after 26 weeks.

It is truly despairing that the Democrats are so eager to start from a position of compromise and then retreat from there. This place talks about Nuremberg 2.0 and abolishing ICE (which need to happen, to be clear) but in my heart of hearts I don’t know if we’ll even get failed impeachment 2.
