#POTUS #Biden is set to give a speech on May 7 at a ceremony commemorating the Holocaust.

#DouglasEmhoff, husband of VP #KamalaHarris, said at an event in New York on Wednesday that, "We’re in favor of the right to #protest. But when that crosses into #violence — when that crosse into calls for genocide, calls for Jews to be murdered, that’s completely unacceptable & must be stopped.”

The #Oct7 attack on south #Israel by #Hamas militants from #Gaza & the ensuing IDF offensive on the #Palestinian enclave have unleashed the biggest outpouring of US student activism since anti-racism protests in 2020.

This ridiculous #FarRight #SCotUS actually compared #StudentLoan #DebtForgiveness to the Japanese Internment Act of 1942, and giving free healthcare to every citizen as a gateway to #tyranny.

But when faced with an ACTUAL argument that a #Potus should be #AboveTheLaw... even if they try to violently overthrow the government, this #RightWing court has demurred. #GOPHypocrisy #IOKIYAR #Facism 🤬 https://www.msnbc.com/alex-wagner-tonight/watch/trump-presidential-immunity-case-exposes-conservative-supreme-court-s-true-colors-209812549928

Trump presidential immunity case exposes conservative Supreme Court's true colors

For many observers, the Supreme Court's treatment of Donald Trump's presidential immunity claim has revealed just how far conservative justices will go to accommodate Trump's interests.

Alito turned the whole idea of deterrence on its head, arguing that giving a #POTUS immunity for attempting a coup will make future coups less likely.

Hard to overstate how utterly bonkers this is.

Thank you to everyone who called #Congress in support of #Ukraine. You made a difference! Thank you.

Americans, we must ensure the senate moves quickly to approve/finalize.

It’s crucial to understand that the Republicans had the opportunity to pass the bipartisan national security bill, already approved in the Senate. However, they were UNWILLING to do so for six months. They unnecessarily introduced multiple bills, causing further delays in the aid to Ukraine. This must go through the Senate, even though the Senate had already approved a bill that included national security. The Republicans removed the #border security from the bill. Removing billions #potus had for CBP and CBP wanted this badly! Keep this manipulation in mind.

Remember this fuckery.

It is crystal clear that the treason caucus republicans are covered in #Ukrainian blood. MoscowMike Johnson has been stalling Ukraine aid for months, each time giving a different excuse. Traitorous republicans are marked. We will not forget.
