This is an assault on the Reconstruction Amendments by a Neo-Confederate Court wedded to the far-right argument that those amendments were illegitimate and destroyed the original intent of the Founders, which was to create a white man's country

America was founded on the basic protection against unlawful imprisonment.

Due process is a fundamental right in our constitution.

Denying it or defending those who deny it is unamerican and illegal.

The entire National Survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH) team at SAMHSA was terminated today.

Do not listen to the platitudes of this administration when they say they care about drug overdose, addiction, mental health, or suicide.

This is the logic behind historical Jewish quotas, trans-exclusionary rules in sports, the Great Replacement conspiracy theory, and the anti-DEI (read: anti-Black) push in workplaces: life is zero-sum, white Christian men deserve it all, and anyone else succeeding is a failure of the natural order

My family issued the following after Medgar Evers was partially removed from the Arlington National Cemetery website under the direction of the Department of the Army.

β€œIt is a spit in the face to all who have served, honored, and fought for this country,” said Myrlie Evers.

Full statement below:

Immigrants, trans people, palestinian rights activists, eventually it’s going to be your turn when the regime decides you are an enemy

So glad someone is calling this fucker out. They are the sorest winners aren’t they. And to cloak it in urbanism is the worst.

A country that

Allies with dictatorships

Engages in rank corruption

Destroys its civil service

Ignores its own constitution

Sends migrants to dangerous camps in other countries

Undermines the rights of its citizens based on their demographics

Defunds independent research

Yeah.

All these tough guys, talking endlessly about the return of masculine energy, beating up on trans girls & immigrants but scraping & bowing to the bully who is stripping them of their legal & democratic authority.

Every authoritarian is a coward. Every single one.

USDOT is proposing to prioritize areas with high marriage & birth rates for funding.

Our new analysis @urbaninstitute.bsky.social shows this approach would produce a massive redistribution of transportation funding to rich, car-dependent, high white population areas.

β€œBipartisan church service” is not a real thing. Ecumenical, yes. Bipartisan…is spoken like a true Christian nationalist.
