If the Dems who win in the 2026 midterms get squeamish about prosecuting this administration, we'll need to elect a bunch of new people running on Nuremberg shit for 2028. This isn't a joke. It's the law. It's justice. Biden let Trump back in the WH and this happened because Joe didn't do his job

Poster of the anime "Bocchi the Rock", featuring 4 female characters with distinct color designs.
6 colors of the "bocchi" color scheme, with simulated deuteranopia on the bottom for comparison.
