We live in a time that people are more inclined to obey an unlawful executive order than they are to follow a court order 🤦🏾♀️.
Dictators are created due to cruelty, cowardice, & compliance! IF THEIR ASSES will ignore the Supreme Court, we can definitely IGNORE HIM!

sometimes i wonder how many versions of myself i’ve outgrown without even noticing. i look back at old photos and remember the thoughts i used to carry, the dreams i thought would save me. it’s strange how you can live inside yourself every day and still not realize you’re evolving. it’s only when you look back that you realize how far you’ve come, how many lives you’ve already lived in the same skin.

Trump is planning a giant military parade down Pennsylvania Avenue in Washington, D.C., to coincide with his 79th birthday on June 14. Bad enough that the nation has to display its militarism in such a crude, authoritarian way. To do it at the behest of the most authoritarian president in the nation’s history who wants a big military par…

Laura Loomer has blasted Trump’s acceptance of a $400 million jet from Qatar, and I for one think it’s unforgivable that Trump has made me agree with Laura Loomer

good article by Jill Filipovic. It puts some meat on the more radical of the protestors, but raises the question that we don't actually know the beliefs of the majority of those arrested nor the specific instances of actual antisemitism that are scaring Jewish students. The American public is looking at a vast dearth of EVIDENCE about what is actually going on. Instead we are getting allegations, cherry picking on both sides (as she notes), and Congressional Investigations that actually threaten administrators who say ordinary stuff when questioned about campus policies, like "well, that depends on the circumstances." Somehow, asking for evidence before acting has become anathema.
Well, not "somehow." It is the ongoing claim of the MAGAt party that evidence doesn't matter. Just allege, insinuate, appeal to people's darkest emotions.
I agree that outing vile things people have said that ARE antisemitic or pro terrorist is something that needs to be done. It is up to the employers to decide what do to with it. But those examples are NOT from students. They merely show that there are lots of vile, antisemitic people. This is clearly no surprise.
But the press has contented itself with generalizations, quite possibly overgeneralizations, and done nothing to sort out what is legitimate protest from what is hate speech. Until we have evidence that a student is supporting the purported aims of "the organizers" it is irresponsible to condemn. There has been little if any investigation into what is causing Jewish fear--what is actually being said to them, is WHAT is being said antisemitic or simply anti-Israeli government.
We need a press that provide us with actual facts so we can judge for ourselves and not just go with what we are being told--by either side.

📌All these civil servants the grotesque, bought-off Trump is firing can't accept gifts totaling more than $50 in calendar year.
📌So he just accepted a $440 million airplane and called people who don't accept gifts, "stupid."
📌Tell me again why this hideous SOB shouldn't be rotting in some jail.
