This is going to keep happening in city after city because this is a systemic problem. But we're not dealing with it systemically.

Waiting for Jim Jordan's HJC to look into these threats targeted at Supreme Court Justices.

There’s a legitimate debate over keeping Trump off social media, but any discussion has to include that the behavior that got him kicked off is ongoing and, if anything, worse

From me: Eight members of Congress, led by the new #3 in House leadership, wrote a bipartisan letter in March trying to get the SEC to stop investigating crypto firms. The American Prospect has learned that one of those firms under investigation was FTX.

The murders don’t seem to bother the people who are targeting the LGBTQ community with hateful smears. They’re positively reveling in them. They intend to cause more of them.

Another day another time to remind everyone David Neiwert was right and a lot of folks were wrong.

Andrew Weissmann (weissmann11 on Threads)🌻 Moreover, while it is not known to be a central issue of Jan6, there are a WHOLE BUNCH of people who've been prior players in Russian influence operations who were key players in Jan6: Stone, Joe Biggs, Patrick Byrne, and a very long list of others.

Between that 11th C beatdown and the SCOTUS denial, that may have been the worst 40 minutes of Trump's legal life.

CONGRESS: We would like to criminalize public corruption.

SCOTUS: Taking bribes is bad but how do you know the government official was doing anything because of the so-called bribe? Unconstitutional.

'Woke' = Basic Human Decency.

The latter is an old-fashioned term that's fallen into disuse. But push back on right-wing parrots about what 'woke' means, they hem and haw about 'cancel culture' (otherwise known as 'shaming'). They don't like being shamed for being shitty people.

More about that here.

And for what it's worth, YouTube has taken down videos that I have posted both for SPLC's Hatewatch channel, as well as for Daily Kos, all involving exposure of extremists.

Well, since YouTube took down Right Wing Watch's version of this video, I thought I would help it find a new home. Because it really does tell you exactly how the election denialists think and behave.

Just for shits and giggles, Dems should take up a bill proposing that anyone who begged for a pardon in the last 5 years can't vote for Speaker.

I mean, Stephen Miller wasn't just visiting socially this week. Where he shows up, racist attacks soon follow.

Here's my favorite part of Garland's order. This language -- that may arise -- is what usually refers to attempts to obstruct the investigation.

But, uh, usually it doesn't ALSO include the past tense.

One other thing it does: Makes it a lot harder for Jimmy Jordan to get visibility onto things.

It gives a bunch of people in my mentions reasons to whinge.

Good thing Twitter will self-implode this weekend I guess.

The GOP position is that prison and jail should be horrible, inhumane, and unbearable, except if you tried to overthrow the government on Donald Trump's behalf twitter.com/JaxAlemany/sta…
