If you've never before been the sort of person to call/write your representatives and/or the President, it might intimidate you to do so. Don't be intimidated. They're supposed to be working for you - they're your employees.

Resistbot is a tool that can be helpful for people who don't like making phone calls. You can do it a variety of ways, following the bot's prompts https://resist.bot/

Ways in which liberals who claim to care about the outcome of the 2024 presidential election can help Trump win: post shit like this. Blame voters for getting upset about being asked to vote for genocide.

Now that we know Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito owns a “stop the steal” sign, the question becomes:

Is he, or has he ever been, an associate of the qanon shaman? The public deserves an answer but I’ll settle for spontaneous impeachment.

“The Board and the Governor have put their politics over justice and made a mockery of our legal system.”

Yesterday, Governor Greg Abbott issued a full pardon for Daniel Perry, who killed Garrett Foster, a protester at a Black Lives Matter march in 2020. Special Investigative Correspondent @stevanzetti explains all the context the governor ignored: https://www.texasobserver.org/abbott-pardon-daniel-perry-garrett-foster/

GQP toadies have yet to find the bottom when it comes to "how far can I contort Trump's actions so they can be seen as admirable".

YUP.

While Boebert isn't in this shot, she was in this crew of bootlickers attending the trial.

Report

"Israeli Historian Ilan Pappé - a staunch critic of Zionism - was detained & interrogated this week by FBI agents as he entered the US.

"They had a long phone conversation with someone... & after copying everything on my phone allowed me to enter."

Actions like this taken under pressure from Israel "smell of sheer panic & desperation in reaction to Israel's becoming very soon a pariah state", said Pappé.

Civil Discourse by Joyce Vance

Justice Alito

“You can hardly blame the folks who saw the flag flying at the #Alito’s home and decided it had to be brought to the Court’s attention. Surprisingly, it’s taken this long to become public. The Times reported that the half-dozen or so neighbors who were aware of it asked to remain anonymous because they “feared reprisal.” Let that sink in as we contemplate what a second #Trump term in office might look like.” #SCOTUS #USPol

I couldn't help but remember this cartoon after reading the article about Alito last night.
This is some bad stuff, folks.
Our court is compromised.
They currently hold the decision to immunity of the president.
It seems uncomfortably likely that the compromised court may strike democracy, no man above the law, for the 🍊💩🤡.
Will we get through this and save democracy this year?

"Dr. King said that in the end, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends. Sadly, medically vulnerable people are under no illusion that the Democrats are any kind of friend.

Looks like
@taylorlorenz has succumbed to Murc's Law.

"These journalists seem to believe (perhaps unconsciously) that have so little control over their own behavior that they cannot be held accountable for their own actions.

So, instead of blaming Republicans for the political difficulties they cause, they blame for failing to control Republicans’ bad behavior."

“Across the country, private companies are swooping in to buy local water and sewer systems from the governments that own them. Then they jack up the prices -- forcing normal people to pay higher rates not just for the water that comes out of their faucets, but even the water that comes out of their toilets.

"But after taking office and examining hundreds of pages of curriculum, Gore was shocked by what she found — and didn’t find."

"The pervasive indoctrination she had railed against simply did not exist. Children were not being sexualized, and she could find no examples of critical race theory, an advanced academic concept that examines systemic racism."
