    I’ve been thinking about this a lot since the rise of Trump, but I think now after what we see happening at the border it is clear that the days of so-called conservatism are over. /1

    When did attacking American businesses become a Republican thing? Small business like Red Hen, icon like Harley Davidson. This is the stuff the Red Guard did in the Cultural Revolution.

    'The Red Hen' restaurant that kicked out Sarah Sanders on Friday will remain closed until next week, and the owner has resigned from a local business organization. reports.

    It wasn’t a rule. It was a power play.

    Mitch McConnell should follow the Mitch McConnell rule. Let the American people have a say when women’s health and equal rights are on the line.

    Keep in mind that every claim to logic, procedure, precedent, morality, or ideology McConnell makes is just window dressing for his actual belief, which is “I have power and can do whatever I want."

    McConnell on Kennedy retiring: "It's imperative that the president's nominee be treated fairly."

    Kennedy handing his seat over to Trump is the most perfect example *ever* about how it is all the party of Trump. All of it. Kennedy looks down from SCOTUS and sees the man in the White House and says “Yes. Him. I want him to be the one to choose my replacement.”

    I'm sure , being a man of firm principle and clear honor, will refuse to hold any hearings on a SCOTUS nominee until January 2019 because (checks notes) "the American people should have a voice in the selection of their next Supreme Court Justice."

    Narrator: The answer, my friends, is yes.

    Does the Supreme Court have a double standard on religion?

    Throwback!

    Calls to ban Muslims from entering the U.S. are offensive and unconstitutional.

    Greg Gianforte literally attacked a reporter and lied about it

    If a Republican said what Maxine Waters said, they would have been forced to resign by now.

    One step away from the Fugitive Slave Law of 1850. That step would be deputizing private citizens to act as agents of ICE and/or a court and to apprehend alleged unauthorized people.

    If Trump can deny due process to those allegedly here unlawfully, ICE can grab YOU, allege you aren’t a citizen & deport you w/out a hearing

    If you seriously don't understand how calls for "civility" were historically used by the powers-that-be to shut down protests, you should really read Bill Chafe's excellent study of the civil rights movement in Greensboro.

    To everyone who has tweeted back, "Not me, I can PROVE I'm a citizen" -- you miss the point. Without due process, who will you "prove" it to? Where will you show your proof? A right to a hearing / judicial review protects ALL of us.

    The Yelp presidency

    The Red Hen Restaurant should focus more on cleaning its filthy canopies, doors and windows (badly needs a paint job) rather than refusing to serve a fine person like Sarah Huckabee Sanders. I always had a rule, if a restaurant is dirty on the outside, it is dirty on the inside!

    In Rwanda, for years the Hutu were fed a steady diet from RTLM, the dominant radio station, about the "cockroach" Tutsi. Thus, when the genocide began the Tutsi were, after all this softening up, no more than a dangerous infestation. We know the signs.

    The inescapable truth: Trump, his regime, and much of his base view these brown children and parents only as animals and future gang members. They can't understand the kerfuffle about the sub-human treatment immigrants are getting.
