It’s cool that this generation gets to find out the answer to “what would you have done when we started interning the Japanese?” and “what would you have done when we invaded Vietnam?” and “what would you have done in Watergate?” all at the same time.

There are a lot of posts out there with the close-up visual of Markwayne Mullin on January 6, but this is a better perspective.

He’s not protecting others; he’s protecting himself and hiding. You can see plenty of people at the entry door, ready to take on the insurrectionists, but not Markwayne.

This is honestly one of the most anti-Jewish things I’ve ever seen from the United States government.

NJ-05…this shows voices matter but you deserve a rep that doesn’t need to be cagey or begged to represent their constituents’ interests.

I’m not a resident of NJ-05 but spend a lot of time there caregiving…PLEASE someone. If I was a resident I would register. One vote doesn’t let Josh off the hook. #nj05 #nj05deservesbetterthanjosh

Boo Inter Miami. Players have a choice, and this shows what side of history they’re on!!! Most are Latinos and I can’t believe they went. This would be the perfect time to use their platform to stand up for all immigrants.

We’re being told they may be starting to organize help and passing along info. It’s way too late and still scary/dangerous but hoping at least people can start to get home (if the help is real).

This is dangerous, embarrassing and mostly scary as someone who knows Americans stuck in these countries.

I split time between northern NJ & LA…when people ask why I vote in CA… @friedman.house.gov ACTUALLY represents my interests, #Gottheimer (not even on BlueSky) supports administration evils & attrition to our democracy like THIS. Josh = #DINO & #JINO …still thankful for the real public servants.

What #USAWomensHockey (& #HeatedRivalry) have done are amazing…then #USAMensHockey goes out & proves it’s 2 steps forward, 100 steps backwards. Congrats to the women on everything!!! I guess good job boys on your medal but definitely SHAME on you for the rest. 🏒

I don’t really know what I expect in posting this, but maybe some people see it and can learn from it.

I’ll call it “lessons from an unwilling immigration attorney.”

Saying there must be trials isn't just an emotive aspiration.

Congress can:
- Create a new court (complying w/ 6A jury vicinage)
- Give it jurisdiction over defined category of crimes
- Also create dedicated prosecutors for the same
- Strip SCOTUS of appellate jurisdiction

It can be done.

It can happen to your family.

It will happen to thousands and thousands of families.

Unless we stop them.

I will never not be infinitely ashamed being from the same area in North Jersey as #nepotraitor

Every time I drive by Jared’s HS where I always seem to get stuck at the light…I blast Big Crime in their direction. Jared’s a JINO—Jew who acts like a n*zi. #shameonkushner #dontgotojared #fdt
