The US still has credibility?

[Lakota Man @LakotaMan1]

I grow tired of saying it, so this will be the last time. If the U.S. fails to prosecute Trump, it will lose all credibility as a nation — of law and order. Agree?

“White supremacy, white nationalism and white terror were fundamental to the creation of America. Those facts don’t change because they make some uncomfortable or others angry,” writes @CharlesMBlow. https://t.co/kJThRsLRFw

If we’re going to build a real political alternative to both the neoliberal center and the resurgent right, we can’t count on a strategy of nudging the center for incremental improvements. We need to draw clear lines between the center and the Left. https://t.co/4WhpEaK4TF

[CALL TO ACTIVISM @CalltoActivism]

🚨🚨🚨Holy shit: An Iowa mom stood up to testify at the Iowa Capitol and delivered an AMAZING speech slamming Republicans’ six-week abortion ban as “stupid, ridiculous self-righteous crap.”

Felicia Hilton of Des Moines boldly confronted the Iowa State House and held nothing back:

Here is what Felicia Hilton directed at Republican Governor Kim Richards:👇

(Ending abortion is about religion?) Where are all these church people when (Governor Kim Reynolds denies) people healthcare? Where are they then?"

Hilton continued. "I'm just saying, if this is about the church, that this is about God, you are the same people that will slap them loaves of breads outta Jesus' hand. Slap out the fish outta Jesus' hand and tell them to get in line and figure out if they're worthy or eligible.

Are they eligible for this food, Jesus? Are they eligible for healing, Jesus? Are these people good enough? Is that what you're telling me in the state of Iowa, that you get to choose who this is?”

This is absolutely an offense to women. This is an offense to everybody, and it is offensive that you're gonna go celebrate the oppression of women at a church. You're gonna go celebrate the oppression of women at a church, but the church wasn't there when she's going to cut the food assistance from the federal government to people.“

🔥🔥🔥

The session's leader tried to cut Hilton off, but she was not having it. 👇

"Ma'am, it's been over three minutes," the man said.

"It doesn't matter. This is a lie. You guys are lying to yourselves and you're offending everyone, including God," Hilton fired back.

This state is ridiculous. The stupid, stupid, ridiculous self-righteous crap.”

🔥🔥🔥

Thank you to this BRAVE mom for speaking out!

[Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse]

To date, Chief Justice Roberts has barely acknowledged, much less investigated or sought to fix, the ethics crises swirling around our highest Court. So if the Court won’t investigate or act, Congress must.

US needs Degrowth now. For survival.

[David Wallace-Wells @dwallacewells]

These days, we hear a lot about “the new normal” and “the new abnormal.” But warming and extreme weather are not pulling us through a simple paradigm shift. It’s better described as the end of normal—never normal again. https://t.co/wWAltDUjG6

Every day it becomes harder for the billionaire-friendly justices and their political allies to pretend with a straight face that all is kosher at the Court.

I'm headed back to the Senate Floor to give my 22nd speech on the scheme to capture the highest court in the land.

[Jacobin @jacobin]

Leading left-wing politicians including Bernie Sanders, Ilhan Omar, and, most recently, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez have already endorsed Joe Biden — even though primary voters haven’t yet had their say and most Democrats in polls don’t even want him to run. https://t.co/4WhpEaK4TF

🧸 BREAKING: Just Stop Oil Mums March Through Hamleys Toy Store

👩‍👧 This afternoon, a group of around 15 mums began marching around Hamleys toy store, holding signs such as ‘give our kids hope’ and ‘scared for my son’. The ‘mums’ march’ was removed by security by 1:40pm.

Clean energy is important but it’s not enough. In the US, we need degrowth, a planned and dramatic reduction of the use of energy and resources, prioritizing basic human needs and ecorestoration.
