I think we are going to have a Democratic-controlled Senate.

And all we will need for the leadership of that Democratic Senate to do is hold actual, real, impeachment trials.

As the Constitution requires.

Not the bullshit fake trials like the ones that the Senate held in 2020 and 2021...

‘Don Colossus,’ a Golden Statue of President Trump, Waits for Its Home

For my fellow Christians out there, didn’t the creation of a golden idol lead to the Israelites being forced to drink the sledge of the molten idol?

Yes, It’s Fascism
Until recently, I thought it a term best avoided. But now, the resemblances are too many and too strong to deny.

It appears that this legend owns a little bookstore — and you can order books from him instead of Bezos. Link in next post.

Chris Murphy: "This is really scary because what Bovino essentially told you is that if you just happen to be present when they are undertaking an operation, if you pull out your phone to record it, the use of force against you is justified. That is not true, it's not what the law says."

Klobuchar: "Somehow 50,000 peaceful protesters in 10 below weather were able to march without any problems, and then the next day half a dozen ICE and CBP agents couldn't handle a guy with a cell phone taking video of them and shot him. I think it's pretty obvious what's going on here."

I respond to some so-called Second Amendment defenders who are justifying the shooting of Alex. The Second Amendment protects citizens from the state—it does not give the state a license to kill. (Link to full video)

I just checked—it turns out that Art. II, Sec. 1 of the Constitution of the United States does *not* say "The executive Power shall be vested in a bunch of sociopaths who think they can do whatever the fuck they want and make shit up as they go along."

Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara: "People have had enough. This is the third shooting in less than 3 weeks. The MPD went the entire year last year recovering about 900 guns from the street, arresting hundreds of violent offenders, and we didn't shoot anyone ... this is not sustainable."

Secretary Noem has forfeited her right to lead. I’m calling on her to resign.

Gregory Bovino must also be fired.

No one, not an ICE agent, not a federal officer, not a president, is above the law.

Walz: "To Americans who are watching this, I've got a question for you: What side do you want to be on? The side of an all powerful federal govt that can kill, injury, menace, & kidnap its citizens off the streets? Or on the side of a nurse at the VA hospital who died bearing witness to such govt?"

The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.

Open Source statt Microsoft: Deutsches Bundesland spart 15 Millionen Euro Lizenzkosten jährlich Schleswig-Holstein sieht die Abkehr von Windows, Office und Co sowohl strategisch als auch finanziell als richtig an. Die Umstellungskosten würden sich bereits in einem halben Jahr amortisieren

The German state of Schleswig-Holstein changed from Microsoft to open source solutions at a cost of 9 million.
It will save 15 million in fees per year. www.derstandard.at/story/300000...

GOP spent $2.9 million to stop Missourians from voting on gerrymander Read more here.

A new ethics report shared with Democracy Docket, revealed that Republicans spent $2.9 million to stymie Missourians’ signature-gathering effort aimed at blocking the GOP’s new congressional gerrymander. But most notably, virtually all of that money went to a political firm with Trump ties.

I recently heard historian Robert Kagan say: “What's at risk right now is literally our democracy in the sense that I don't think Trump is going to allow free and fair elections in 2026.”

My job is to fight in court to prove him wrong even while I fear he may be right.
