If you think about it though, all of the justice system should only be reactive. It has to be in order to uphold the central premise of "innocent until proven guilty". I personally will not ever be okay with infringement on that presumption for any one individual for any reason.

LA PROTESTERS: How to annoy ICE, cops, Guardsmen & Marines “patrolling” the streets? Blast “IN THE NAVY”, follow & dance party around them with BIG Pride flags, glitter bomb them & shout “Happy Pride Month”. Believe me, the ridicule they’ll get will make them LOATHE being in LA. #NotJoking

This seems like exactly the right response for exactly the right reason. We refuse to be ruled by force.

If troops show up in our cities, we stop. No work. No deliveries. No shopping. No compliance. A general strike isn’t radical—it’s survival. This isn’t what freedom looks like. You want martial law? Then you’ll get a country on pause. We refuse to be ruled by force. #GeneralStrike

For decades the NRA and other gun nuts told us that their guns were to protect us all from a tyrannical government. So a tyrannical government is here, they are all sitting on their asses, and the people who want gun control have taken to the streets to defy the tyrannical government instead.

This administration needs to stop targeting international reporters, they’re the ones helping spread the truth. In multiple videos, officers are seen aiming directly at them, fully aware they’re members of the press. These so-called “non-lethal” rounds can absolutely be lethal.

Immigrants fleeing violence, poverty, drugs and corrupt leaders come to America and find violence, poverty, drugs and corrupt leaders. There is no safe place any longer. America has betrayed her 250 year history of a welcoming melting pot and opportunity. We should be ashamed.

Not to diminish death threats--incredibly disturbing. But, think of how desperately insecure she has to be to hire people to manage robots to say nice things. And, I hope you are right about the threats being from the robots--likely I guess since clearly not enough realy people like her

Federal officers entered Rep. Jerry Nadler’s office in Lower Manhattan on Wednesday and handcuffed and briefly detained one of his aides. The confrontation happened shortly after the aide observed federal agents detaining migrants in a public hallway outside an immigration courtroom.

Please read, this is important. Sorry it’s long. Trump’s move to have Elon Musk step aside wasn’t a retreat. It was a distraction. With Musk’s name out of the headlines, many assumed the controversial Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) had quietly ended. It hasn’t. It’s just changed hands.

I don’t agree. This would not have happened if Congress had done its job. And Congress would have done its job if we had not allowed rich people to buy off grifters and voters to install powe hungry sycophants in office. Mitch McConnell and the Supreme Court and American voters failed us.

Those who bought the presidency do not care what is good for the economy. What is good for the economy is not good for them. They bought the presidency to tank the economy so they could buy up all the resources at depression prices. Why do we continue to pretend they don't understand?

In an absolutely devastating ruling, the Supreme Court has allowed the transgender military ban to go into effect. This is shocking - the ban explicitly called transgender people dishonorable for being transgender. It is as clear as day soaked in animus. www.supremecourt.gov/docket/docke...

The end of US democracy was sending a vengeful convicted felon back to the WH instead of to jail where he belongs. Him arresting judges, empowering Gestapo ICE agents to enter any home to look for migrants and moving towards jailing journalists is just the beginning.

To be fair, however much we like to glorify the FBI, they have a loooong history of not only being unconcerned with civil rights but actual downright hostile to civil rights. Don't be surprised or shocked about the number of FBI willing to follow unlawful orders. Wait for stories to come out.
