why is it that Donny gets a lifetime free pass to be the worst person in the world, but Democrats get constantly lectured to 'tone down' their 'divisive rhetoric'? the hypocrisy of our shithole media is maddening. thank you for your attention to today's very angry post. link is here: bit.ly/4tAuI4i

oh, come on. ‘Preznit Fuckwit is terrible for this country’ isn’t heated rhetoric, it’s an objective truth. in the span of a little over a year, he’s tanked the economy, shredded the Constitution, made a mockery of our laws, alienated our allies, started an illegal war, turned our cities in war zones, and demolished half the White House. how is that not terrible for the country? and how it is wrong to point this out? what are Democrats supposed to do, just roll over and let it happen? but beyond that, this kneejerk ‘but what about the Democratic rhetoric’ response is fucking infuriating — because I happen to know of a guy whose ‘heated rhetoric’ switch is permanently stuck in the ‘on’ position. he threatens to ‘destroy entire civilizations.’ he calls for his political opponents to be jailed — or even executed. he calls immigrants ‘vermin.’ he calls protesters ‘domestic terrorists.’

Conservatives are currently pursuing a national strategy to ban grace periods for ballots sent through the mail. The U.S. Supreme Court will issue a ruling that could eliminate grace periods across the country.

Ohio Bans Grace Periods for Mail Ballots, Fulfilling Trump’s Wishes

Ohio is the fourth GOP-run state this year to ban ballots that are postmarked by Election Day but arrive after. A Supreme Court case could force that policy nationwide next year.

I appreciate those out there protesting at great risk to their lives however i think the nation needs to grind this economy to a dead stop. It's something everyone can do safely. No spending on ANYTHING but absolute necessities. I understand some shut ins can not do this but very many of us can.

Reporter: You received a letter from AG Pam Bondi making several demands…. Walz: I would just give a pro tip to the AG. There's 2 million documents in the Epstein files we're still waiting on. Go ahead and work on those

Across America and the world, people are realizing it’s not possible to appease America’s dictator. The only way to deal with him is to stand up to him — and the only way to stand up to him is by joining together against him. It's time for a massive general strike across the country.

In the words of John Lewis, it's time for "good trouble." If you're a Minnesotan, I urge you to join tomorrow's Ice Out For Good economic blockout and exercise your collective power. And if you're not, organize in solidarity and demand our leaders stand up to ICE. https://iceoutforgood.org/

Former US military lawyers speak out: "The Former JAGs Working Group unanimously considers both the giving and the execution of these orders, if true, to constitute war crimes, murder, or both." Statement on Media Reports of Pentagon “No Quarter” Orders in Caribbean Boat Strikes 1/2

• If the U.S. military operation to interdict and destroy suspected narcotraFicking vessels is a “non-international armed conflict,” as the Trump Administration suggests, orders to “kill everybody,” which can reasonably be regarded as an order to give “no quarter,” and to “double-tap” a target in order to kill survivors, are clearly illegal under international law. In short, they are war crimes. • If the U.S. military operation is not an armed conflict of any kind, these orders to kill helpless civilians clinging to the wreckage of a vessel our military destroyed would subject everyone from SECDEF down to the individual who pulled the trigger to prosecution under U.S. law for murder.BildHighlighted sentence at the end of the document reads: Again, the bottom line is that, since orders to kill survivors of an attack at sea are “patently illegal,” anyone who issues or follows such orders can and should be prosecuted for war crimes, murder, or both.
