As the Trump DOJ hemorrhages qualified lawyers, Harmeet Dhillon, the head of the “Civil Rights” division, hires partisan hacks & incompetent lawyers who have been fired, rejected, or driven out of their prior positions. Why these hires put the entire country at risk: youtu.be/8G1PVefC5do?...

At a time in history when the most influential leaders of the U.S. need to stand up loudly and clearly for the rule of law, democracy, and decency, they are leading the charge in the opposite direction — fawning over the most dangerous authoritarian America has ever witnessed. Do not forget this.

Federal immigration goons use their vehicles to confront a crowd of demonstrators protesting ICE in Tacoma, in what eyewitnesses say was an attempt by the suspected Feds to intimidate them. You can see the crowd stand their ground, and the goons drive off.

😂 Democracy, russian style. Communists in Moscow held an officially approved rally. Then they started chanting “Down with the Tsar!” And suddenly the “approved rally” wasn’t so approved anymore - police beat them and dispersed the crowd.

Justice Alito is confusing court reform with attacking the court. Many of us simply want the Court to be better. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Supreme Court expansion is ‘a concerted effort to intimidate the court,' Justice Alito says
Despite Americans' eroding trust in the Supreme Court, Alito says he's not discussed growing calls for expanding the court and setting term limits.
