NEW: Here is Judge Coughenour's temporary restraining order — in effect for the next 14 days — blocking Trump's EO to restrict birthright citizenship. https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.wawd.343943/gov.uscourts.wawd.343943.43.0.pdf

Trump's administration is attacking Native Americans' birthright citizenship, citing outdated 19th-century laws to justify stripping them of their constitutional rights. By exploiting archaic language and misinterpreting the 14th Amendment, they’re attempting to redefine who qualifies as American. This move is a blatant assault on indigenous sovereignty and constitutional law.

How any woman can vote for any Republican--or be with any man who does--is beyond me. They are pigs.

Don’t ever be lulled into thinking that ‘pro-choice’ states are immune from doing scary shit. And boy oh boy is this story scary.

Excerpted from my newsletter:

Yes, what happened to “We back the blue!”?
#FuckinMAGA

Bill Clinton banned assault weapons in 1994; mass shootings dropped by 43%.

George W. Bush and the GOP let the assault weapons ban expire in 2004; mass shootings increased by 245%.

These numbers tell the whole story.

Trump's MAGA-themed cryptocurrency is already tanking, with accusations of fraud and insider trading. Launched with hype at his inauguration, the memecoin's collapse follows Trump's familiar pattern of overpromising and underdelivering, leaving supporters burned once again.

#Quebec just started unionizing the Amazon warehouses.
So Amazon is closing them so they can subcontract to gig worker delivery companies.
Those Canadians were on their way to stable, dignified jobs.
Now Amazon is there holding up the decapitated head of Quebec workers, waving it around for other jurisdictions to get a look at.

It's time for government intervention.

A snippet from Marc Elias’s newsletter:

“ Donald #Trump is not clever. He is not smart. He is not playing chess or even checkers. He was the kid who stewed over the fact that he lost at tic-tac-toe. He is just a particular type of liar who excels at giving his supporters the lies they want.”
