One of our regular Wed #SCOTUS6 protestors sent this text: “Morton’s needed me to work tonight but mother f*cking Brett Kavanaugh is here eating. He could probably hear you from the street.” RT
The nation’s rage is growing. What would you do if you were his waiter? #SummerofRage
Here’s an infuriating idea: If Lauren Boebert wins again in 2024, she becomes eligible for a lifetime congressional pension – paid for by you, the taxpayer.
If that doesn’t make you want to give $10 right now to Adam Frisch’s campaign to defeat Boebert, we don’t know what will.
Many in the media misattribute J6th as an isolated act of desperation instead of what it was: The 3rd act of a carefully coordinated conspiracy between a sitting *President, an army of domestic terrorists, and hostile foreign governments that came only 40ft from fruition. 5/5
@RepAndyBiggsAZ Because it’s a bogus, performative censure. Why don’t you celebrate Trump’s indictment, which you claim to be bogus and performative? Hmmm?
@davetroy@JeffSharlet@jasonintrator A STATE OF UNREALITY—Fascist politics creates a state of unreality, in which conspiracy theories and fake news replace reasoned debate. As the common understanding of reality crumbles, fascist politics makes room for dangerous and false beliefs to take root.—@jasonintrator

@LeahLitman Hey Dick @SenatorDurbin keep on ignoring this obvious SCOTUS corruption. We in Illinois are ready to primary you & give the gavel to @SenWhitehouse
Clarence Thomas's first public scandal occurred in 1980, when he was a no-name aide to a GOP senator and complained to a journalist that his sister just waited by the mailbox for her welfare check
Thomas smeared his own sis, whining to a conference of Black conservatives (and journalist Juan Williams) in 1980:
“She gets mad when the mailman is late with her welfare check. That is how dependent she is. What's worse is that now her kids feel entitled to the check too…”
That sister has a name, and a story.
Emma Mae Martin is not, nor has she ever been, the angry, lazy Black woman Clarence Thomas portrayed her to be. (Cruelly stereotyping his own sister, to score political points.)
Clarence failed to mention that Emma’s husband had abandoned her — and the four children. Clarence further failed to mention that Emma had been working two jobs, trying to support her family. Clarence conveniently elected not to disclose that an elderly aunt had suffered a stroke, and it was Emma who dutifully stepped up and stopped working outside the home in order to care for their ailing aunt.
“It is a story of male abandonment, female sacrifice, and a turning to welfare only temporarily and only as a last resort. It also is a story of an inadequate government safety net for those who struggle at the bottom of society—no day care, no health insurance, no subsidy for the “working poor” whose wages are not enough to lift their families above the federal poverty line.”
Bottom line:
Bottom feeder Clarence Thomas lied.
Clarence lied about money.
Clarence lied about his own sister.
Fast forward a few decades to billionaire big-daddy Harlan Crow, who has spent millions upon millions of dollars on petty, heartless, whiny little Clarence, wife Ginni, Clarence’s grand nephew, and mother.
And Clarence now finds himself submerged in scandal, once again. This time big-time.
The hypocrisy of Clarence Thomas is truly shocking. This is a Black man who has spent decades railing against fellow Americans (particularly Blacks) who dare to seek and accept “government handouts” — yet the multi-millions he receives in luxury travel, gourmet dining, housing, private education, etc. are all due exclusively to his elite, powerful, government appointment.
Emma Mae Martin said of her brother Clarence: “He's supposed to be a judge, but you can't judge anybody unless you judge yourself. I've never judged anybody, but people judge me all the time."

@TheProspect Hey @RuthSentUs, thanks for the most effective, sustained protests that mattered. The justices could ignore yt ladies taking abortion pills on the Supreme Court steps, but not your regular, noisy, colorful marching through their neighborhoods at dinnertime.

By way of the 14th Amendment’s Citizenship Clause, its Immunities Clause, and its No State Shall Abridge Clause, we understand that “All Persons Born” have all the rights, because, by express exclusion, ‘All Unborns Not-born’ therefore have no rights for ‘States to Protect.’ 1/x
