I feel like a lot of commentary could be usefully replaced by just playing conservative commentary followed by the price is right failure horn

DOJ memo suggesting “interpreting” Olmsted differently. The Supreme Court decision that affirms disabled people’s right to live in a community instead of institutionalization. If you don’t push back against this, nondisabled Americans, we’re in deep shit. From your son with an IEP to your grandma.

Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him. White. Hot. Rage.

Senate Democrats absolutely have to shut the govt down to stop this ICE insanity in the Twin Cities. This is not sustainable & cannot be normalized. Any Democratic vote to provide money to the thugs who are brutalizing this community is a grave betrayal to the people here. Accountability can't wait.

It would take a two-word amendment to 42 U.S.C. § 1983 to subject ICE agents and other federal law enforcement officers to the same liability for constitutional violations that local and state officers currently face. If Congress actually cared about what it's seeing, it could pass that overnight.

This isn't even the first impeachable offense Noem has committed, but given how hard impeachments are... I'd take it. (her comments about 'liberating' California and the assault on Senator Padilla she ordered at the time should also have been impeachment material, quite frankly...)

Seven Dem senators voted to confirm a Trump judicial nominee today, and I really do not think I'm asking for much when I say that Democrats should not be doing favors for a president whose masked thugs murdered a woman in the streets 24 hours ago www.senate.gov/legislative/...

The Right is nakedly trying to make it illegal to call them fascists which is about the most obviously fascist thing you could come up with.

I know there's a lot going on, but the Secretary of Homeland Security declaring that federal troops are in California and Los Angeles to "liberate" the state and city from its duly-elected leaders really is a fourteen-alarm fire.

I used to select Dem primary candidates based on policy. Now I will aggressively try to destroy any Dem who says "we need to look forward not backward" and fervently support anyone who says "I will see these motherfuckers prosecuted and jailed if it's the last thing I do."
