I believe in Democracy. I believe in creating a more perfect union according to our Constitution. I believe in love, compassion, empathy, and being the change you want to see in the world. I despise authoritarian dictators and wanna-bes.

I’m calling the Lack of Self-Awareness Police.
That’s called a bribe.
Just once, I would like one of these congresspeople to say “If you’re not willing to acknowledge reality about this, then I have no reason to trust you about anything else. I will vote no. I yield the rest of my time.”
ICE was back on my block in Powderhorn earlier today. I banged on their car windows again—like I did when they were here Friday—and they refused to roll them down.
I “human whistled” with my weee whooots and they left. Confirmed ICE via Signal.
Be outside and watching if you are able, friends!
Twitter/X is an enormous national security threat on a global scale, and a lot more nations need to grow a spine and start blocking it (and taking other active, aggressive measures).
Trump flew off to spoil the Knicks game after he found out that two helicopter pilots had gone down in the Strait of Hormuz. This would be a presidency-ending scandal for any other POTUS.
So what does this mean?
Say you're the president and wanted to indict an enemy but pesky grand juries simply won't do it.
The president can just insist prosecutors spam grand juries until they return an indictment.
If you skip grand juries like this, the president can personally indict anyone.
— WEEK 2 [cont'd]: Juror asks if they get "unlimited tries," calls it a "crock of shit" and walks out, after the prosecutor says "excuse yourself." No bill.
— WEEK 3: Government admits to talking grand jurors into changing their mind in the hallway outside of court! Indicted over protestations.
Recap of the Broadview 6 grand jury:
— WEEK 1: Government tries to indict protesters for impeding a police car. Jurors ask why the cop isn't being charged for driving into them instead. No bill.
— WEEK 2: Government presents same exact argument. Jurors aren't having it. [continued in next skeet]
The idea that this just happened to the Broadview 6 — forcing grand juries to indict by cajoling them in an elevator, vouching to the grand jury, and telling "no" votes to leave if they don't want to indict — is nuts.
It's probably happening everywhere. And it means the law as we know it is dead.
