Various reforms of #SupremeCourt —court expansion, #termlimits, court balancing, and #ethics reform. All of these accept premise that #SCOTUS should keep its power over #elected branches of #government. These reforms R focused on forcing court 2 use #power more fairly, more justly, w less #corruption. While those R noble goals, underlying premise is flawed. Instead of reforming how Supreme Court uses its #power, what if we took its power away? #democracy #courts #magathenation.com/podcast/society/…
"Think of it this way: The gravity of what the #Trumpists have already done has created a sort of black hole at the center of American political life — and the Trumpists have already crossed the event horizon, the boundary beyond which there is no escape. So they will do ever more terrible things, because they have nothing more to lose"
“By reducing the chance that the #varicella-zoster virus - which causes chickenpox - can reactivate into shingles, the vaccine may combat virus-generated inflammation and sticky protein formation that's implicated in Alzheimer's disease”
nobody in this article about how #nyc is getting screwed by #FIFA mentioned the one reason people aren't coming to #WorldCup2026 : the year and a half #Trump has spent broadcasting his #ICE anti-immigrant revenge porn.
no sports event is worth the risk of ending in a #MAGA concentration camp.
but more importantly, the article reveals how USA politicians can’t fathom a #BDSUSA movement
FIFA predicted the New York area would take in $3 billion from the World Cup. But some official estimates say the city could lose money on the world’s biggest sporting event.
On the contrary people not #voting got us here as much as MAGA
Getting out of this means many things. But voting is a small effort compared to the other efforts so voices against voting are inauthentic or #troll #psyop
#Hungary had as bad or worse manipulations against #democracy, and look what Hungarians delivered
The latest genius Republican move to steal the election: run a #MAGA as a Democratic candidate for Senate in Nebraska! The Dems are actually supporting an independent, which has the Republicans so scared of losing that seat they are pulling this absolutely farcical stunt.
Y'all, they know what their plan is to steal 2026, and they know they are going down in flames.
In now-deleted videos of past sermons, Pastor Bill Forbes rejected evolution, warned Islamists will "overtake us" and called for a Christian revival to combat the courts, schools and other perceived enemies.
There's a lot of talk, with good reason, about Democrats needing to embrace the majority opinion of "Abolish ICE" to win. But what about MAGA?
Well, one #Idaho ultra #MAGA state senator is finding out the hard way that backing #ICE isn't popular at all with farmers. Several large dairies stopped doing business with her husband in response to the harm her policies are doing to their farms. It's cost their family 80% of their income.
Investigators found that leaders of a prison gang in Puerto Rico were selling inmates drugs in exchange for voting for Gov. Jenniffer González-Colón, a longtime Republican.
Before the 2024 election, federal prosecutors were "full steam ahead" looking into how a prison gang in Puerto Rico gave drugs to inmates if they voted for a GOP gubernatorial candidate. After Trump’s election, the investigation evaporated.
most of the cities are in fascist #MAGA #Republican states that give free reign to #ICE #blackshirts. doesn't matter if you are orange colored like Trump: your life is in danger.
if you must do #FIFA2026 book tickets for Canada and Mexico, not USA.
this also applies for #2028Olympics. even though they are in Los Angeles, boycott any international event as long as Republicans and this fascist regime are in power.
Eleven U.S. cities will host World Cup games this summer, which is expected to generate $11B for FIFA.
The cities get little in return. They do not see a slice of game-day revenues from ticket sales, concessions and merchandise, or parking. propublica.org/article/world-c…
A review of the contracts host cities signed with FIFA shows that almost all of the costs for organizing the tournament fall on the cities, whose ability to collect revenue is limited. In Texas, that could leave taxpayers on the hook.
we have 999 days left of a pedophile rapist narcissist racist with dementia in the White House because 1/3 of the country is bigots and ignorants and 1/3 of the country is too entitled to #vote
it’s time to face the #Skokie #SCOTUS decision is the “inflection point” that brought this #MAGA #fascism
Skokie was decided on a bureaucratic technicality; as in, public places are accessible to everybody even to genocidal racists.
SKOKIE IS INTERPRETED WRONGLY from a human rights ―including the Geneva Conventions― point of view: it never meant for USAgov to protect those demanding & committing human rights atrocities and war crimes.
TIME TO TAKE AWAY FROM FASCISTS THEIR SKOKIE SHIELD
Fuckers.
“I suppose we shouldn't be surprised that Maga Republicans openly support the KKK. We knew it was going to reach this point sooner or later, but it's still disappointing to see.
as #MAGA #GOP #Republican criminals look to reinstate the federal death penalty ―with the nazi barbarism of firing squads, electrocution and gas asphyxiation―, #PopeLeoXIV took to the cameras to commemorate the #abolition of the #deathPenalty in his place of birth, Illinois.
Pope Southside wasted no time calling out right to lifers who cheerlead the death penalty: it goes against Christ’s teachings and RCC doctrine. it’s inadmissible, therefore, a sin.
"Mr. Trump didn't just happen to America. He was elected, twice – the second time after attempting a coup. That alone should tell us that something fundamental has changed in American society, that it is so broken that one half of it could knowingly put a degenerate lunatic in the White House just to spite the other half."
