That we're living in the '20s sounds so weird - like it's the 1920s.
It sounds like a bygone time when women were still fighting for their rights, the rich were living a life of hedonism and preying on cheap labour whilst people starved, and the world was on the verge of financial ruin and war...

If the president does it, it's legal" was also Nixon's defense.

It didn't work for him, and it's not going to work for Trump either.

Presidents are NOT immune from prosecution.

NO ONE IS.

That's what "Equal justice under the law" means.

That's why Lady Justice has a blindfold! So she can't see if you're a president! NOT so she can take a peek to see if you're a VIP and thus immune from accountability.

Chris Hayes is talking about how if Trump loses the election he has threatened 'bedlam.' Okay. What I want to know is what's the #DOJ doing today to prepare for threats to the 3 judges on the panel? What are the plans to stop them?
As @glennkirschner2 has said, to protect the judges & the community it's time for pretrial detention for #Trump.
We can anticipate this happening. We saw what happened with Judge #TanyaChutkan #JackSmith & #JudgeEngoron 's clerk.
We don't need more proof!

On January 8, Ukrainian soldier and beloved poet Maksym Kryvtsov was killed by the Russian invaders.

Maksym was one of the hundreds of Ukrainians who die every week, while Republican Speaker Mike Johnson is holding back the aid to Ukraine.

We can no longer wake up Maksym.

But Speaker Mike Johnson needs to wake the fuck up.

Jamie Raskin Points Out That Trump Lawyer’s ‘Absurd Argument’ Would Incentivize Impeached Presidents to Assassinate Senators https://www.mediaite.com/crime/jamie-raskin-points-out-that-trump-lawyers-absurd-argument-would-incentivize-impeached-presidents-to-assassinate-senators/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=mastodon

New studies suggest COVID variants may cause more severe disease.

Important caveat these are from studies on cells in a lab so we need to see if these observations translate in the real world.

The key takeaway is to not assume variants are becoming weaker. Evolution doesn’t work like that. It’s important to not be complacent and take precautions during this surge.
