Those who weren't paying attention (unfortunately too many in 2016) were shocked when a Trump packed #SCOTUS gutted Roe v Wade. Can't afford to be surprised again Trump & his cronies use Comstock to enact federal abortion ban.

Read this re why Biden/Ds need to rally around Tina Smith's bill to #CancelComstock https://www.nytimes.com/2024/06/21/opinion/trump-comstock-act-abortion.html

Bump stock was used to kill kill 60 people and wound at least 411 more in country’s deadliest mass shooting in Las Vegas in 2017. When a ban by even the Trump Admin on this deadly device is too much for this illegitimate and stolen far right SCOTUS … need more than ethics reform.

Every single Democratic elected official should be using the word CRIMINAL every time they reference Donald Trump.

34-0 - there is no doubt. Trump is a CRIMINAL and Democrats better repeat that word over and over again because the media won't do the work for them.

Every bit of public pressure helps. And am grateful to how Rep Raskin is putting the burden on these Republican operatives playing the role of #SCOTUS justices to prove themselves they are not "bunch of partisan hacks." Hope others Dems also ratchet up the pressure. (4/4)

Love how Rep Raskin trolls Roberts love 4 ⚾️▶️ "Professional baseball would never allow an umpire to continue to officiate the World Series after learning that the pennant of one of the two teams competing was flying in the front yard of the umpire’s home." 🔥 (3/4)

Raskin points out how DOJ via Garland and special counsel have to be one of the key players in forcefully pushing for recusal. Yet given what we have seen from Garland to date when it comes to taking on the far-right & how Smith has been outmaneuvered to date. 😳But ...(2/4)

"Courts generally have found that any reasonable doubts about a judge’s partiality must be resolved in favor of recusal." Rep. Jamie Raskin makes a powerful case for why Alito/Thomas must recuse themselves from J6 #SCOTUS case. It's a #mustead for all Ds 🧵 (1/4) https://www.nytimes.com/2024/05/29/opinion/alito-thomas-recuse-trump-jan-6.html

This is complete failure of moral leadership on the part of Biden, his WH and Dem Leadership, Calling out the right wing mob attacking peaceful student protesters at #UCLA would have been easy win. Instead he blew it. Yes, I will vote for this guy but just shameful abdication of leadership. https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/biden-speaks-college-protests-israel-gaza-war/story?id=109870179

Now that they have unleashed chaos on number of Ivy League campuses by intimidating and harassing leaders of those schools - the fascists leading the House Republicans are coming after the two best public schools in America: #UCLA + #Michigan. Hope these schools officials hold firm.

A Republican American President would then obviously invade Iraq making up lies that Iraq was responsible for that attack without shred of evidence.

There are no "mixed signals" from the man who packed a far-right #SCOTUS w/ Republican operatives to gut abortion rights. His own lawyer has already signaled how they will move to enact fed. abortion ban via #Comstock. Shameful if legacy media if falls for Trump's abortion lies.

I haven’t deleted/deactivated my Twitter account. That said I have it 🔒ed & have cut down engagement (probably as much as 70% if not more). I mostly use it to broadcast purposes & shitposts on sports. I have gained half of my Twitter followers here in 8-9 weeks what I accumulated there in 13 yrs. Ofc this place is not perfect & has room for improvement but the engagement is so much healthier. The opportunity here is enormous. Lets not be Elon’s “product.” Let’s get it here. #Twittermigration

Tbh I didn’t expect the banned reporters who got reinstated Twitter to completely leave the platform. Those folks need that platform to broadcast. I get it. That said how you react has significance. It would have been strategic if the ones who expressed gratitude for coming back committed to building a presence elsewhere, diversifying their digital footprints. Instead waxing poetic about Twitter’s “online community” will only embolden, enable, and mainstream a fascist 🤡 like Musk. #uspolitics

So Elon is reinstating the accounts of journos he banned last night and some of them appear relieved to be “back.” That is all fine but imho Elon’s actions crossed another line last night. It’s tragic to see some of these journos sound so “relieved” to be back there. By doing that they are bending their knees to a billionaire 🤡 drunk on power.
Elon’s actions are providing an opportunity for us to build an healthier civic online space for our democrac. Would be good for us to take it. #fediverse

I have been pretty chill with the CW related discussion here but one thing I feel strongly about - if you come over from the bird site and post Trump’s tweets or any post without content warning - I will most likely unfollow you (and will certainly not amplify). Please be considerate when posting and sharing that toxic, unhealthy trash. Thank you. #uspolitics #Fediverse #TwitterMigration
