@engineer,
Only one administration is guilty of facilitating it at this point.
You can only take this trash out one bag at a time.

@Brandon9000,
Get out from under your rock, open your eyes, and then you won't have to ask so many daft questions.

Multiple administrations have been approving Israel's conduct over many years. At least the Democratic rank and file are against the Gaza invasion. The entire Republican party is in lock step with Tel Aviv. If this is truly guiding your vote, you are deceiving yourself.

The final 538.com prediction is 50-49 Harris, so essentially a toss up. Places to watch this evening are the first returns from rural Pennsylvania and Virginia. These lean heavily Republican, so the goal is to watch the margin of Trump victory and the turnout. 538 also slightly favors the Democrats for taking the House and strongly favors the Republicans taking the Senate.

@engineer,
Since the Biden Harris administration has jumped over the House and the Senate on several occasions to hand over billions for Palestinian extermination, it is obviously you who deceive yourself.

I think the genocide is going to lose in the US.

I abhor the idea of the administration that is making the genocide possible getting a rubber stamp by voters.

Thank goodness the genocidists were repudiated by a majority of the voting public.

@Lash,
Now Netanyahu will proceed to wipe Palestine off the map.

Which is what you wanted all along.

The Nazi has won, the planet is doomed.

Never mind lots more school shootings to enjoy.

Rashida Tlaib and Ilhan Omar have won re-election and continue their political careers after being the first two Muslim women to serve in the US Congress.

@edgarblythe,
They won't last long. Not with the Fuhrer in charge.

No more elections.

Democracy is done.

Not really.

This was no landslide. A one- or two-percentage-point victory in the national popular vote with roughly 312 electoral votes is not unusual. It’s not as large as Barack Obama’s modest win in 2012, and falls far short of “change” elections like Mr. Obama’s in 2008 or Bill Clinton’s in 1992.

With Trump in office there is a lot more damage to the earth. But there is so much more besides the environmental issues to warn about, the demonstrable derangement of the man, and the direction away from democracy and toward a tyranny. For these and many more reasons he should not be left in office, at all. Every legal means to get him removed must be employed, or else those will not be left and the complacent must learn to be the resistant when that becomes necessary, with physical resistance.

The Setup: How They’re Paving the Way for a Constitutional Convention

Two events happened a couple of weeks ago:
The massive federal force used to arrest Judge Dugan in Wisconsin.
The GOP’s silent, methodical effort to trigger a Constitutional Convention.

And now?
More judges have been arrested.
This isn’t isolated — this is escalation.

It’s time to say it again and plainly:

They are PRIMING the public for a constitutional convention.

In Wisconsin, FBI, ICE, DHS, and ATF were deployed — not for a dangerous criminal — but for an unarmed man without a weapon in a civil immigration case.
They weren’t there to enforce the law.
They were there to send a warning — to create fear — to target the judiciary itself.

And now?
More judges are under fire.
They are trying to scare every judge into silence, to turn courtrooms into political battlegrounds.

They are weaponizing civil administrative matters to criminalize judges.
(Administrative warrants are NOT criminal warrants.). This is an abuse of federal power — by design.

This is a pattern unfolding before our eyes:
Massive overreach.
Judges step in.
Trump plays the victim — blaming the courts for “obstructing” him.

For weeks, Trump has hammered the propaganda:
“They won’t let me do my job.”
“I’m being blocked.”

This isn’t frustration. This is brainwashing.
• Framing himself as the victim.
• Framing judges as enemies.
• Conditioning his base to reject democracy itself.

He is setting the stage for authoritarian rule — and the GOP is laying the legal trap.

Meanwhile, the GOP is quietly working to gather enough states to trigger an Article V Constitutional Convention —
Not to fix the system — to REWRITE it. Entirely.

As of April 2025:
19 states have passed Convention of States resolutions.
34 states are needed to call a convention.
With additional pushes — like the Balanced Budget Amendment efforts — the total now sits close to 28 active states — just 6 short.
New developments show the momentum accelerating:
• Wyoming just passed a new convention resolution.
• South Carolina introduced Bill 3558, preparing for commissioner selection.
• Rick Santorum is actively lobbying swing states like North Carolina.
• ALEC and dark money groups are fueling coordinated pressure campaigns across state legislatures.
• Congressional Republicans introduced H.Con.Res.15 at the federal level, adding fuel to the push.

They are moving strategically, focusing on swing states, targeting legislatures, and coordinating pressure at every level

And here’s the terrifying truth:

Once a Constitutional Convention opens, there are NO limits. They can throw out the Constitution and re-write a new one!
• Freedom of speech — gone.
• Voting rights — gone.
• Judicial independence — gone.
• Checks and balances — gone.

Once it starts, there’s no mechanism to stop them.

This was never about one courthouse.
This was never about one immigrant.

This is a full-scale assault on American democracy itself.

They are priming the public for dictatorship — and they are dangerously close to finishing the job.

They are counting on us to be distracted.
They are counting on us to stay silent.
They are counting on us to give up.

If they trigger a Constitutional Convention, they will not “fix” the Constitution —
they will throw it out.
And it will be Trump’s kingdom.

This is the warning.

ICE BRUTAL ASSAULT ON A MOTHER                                                     
"As Mother’s Day Weekend began, I watched the sickening video of a hysterical 16-year-old girl with her face smashed into the pavement by police officers, as I.C.E. agents hauled away her mother and newborn baby in Worcester, Massachusetts.
A crowd of rightly horrified and outraged neighbors poured into the street, appealing to a compassion and decency that was nowhere to be found.
This teenage daughter’s life has been irreparably violated, her sense of safety obliterated, her family’s sacred story visited by a horror you and I will fortunately never understand. They are going through hell at the hands of those who vowed to protect and serve them.
This is Trump’s America on Mother’s Day.
This is the Republican Party’s lawless, merciless shock-and-awe campaign against not just illegal immigrants, not just undocumented people, not just criminals, but against families, against their children, against their spouses, against their fathers, against their mothers.
It’s happening in homes, on college campuses, during traffic stops, in carpool lines, and at local parks. People are being disappeared by this Administration, taken with unnecessarily brutal force by an unhinged and empowered Gestapo-esque monstrosity that feels itself above both the Law and the laws of humanity.
The “Family Values” party is waging a violent war on due process, on probable cause, on elemental human and civil rights, while hundreds of millions of us quickly click away from the videos or bury our heads in tariffed retail therapy, or worse, feel some kind of perverse joy watching a Latino father languishing in an El Salvadorian prison, a college student in a hijab detained without just cause—and a mother and her children traumatized and dehumanized in their neighborhood.
What in the actual hell are we doing, America?
When are we all going to wake up and realize that this is not some crackdown on criminals, that this is not a carefully planned and executed operation to make our streets safer?
When are we going to understand that we are not watching them face justice (whoever we imagine them to be)?
There is no them, there is no they, there is only us. We the f*cking People of this nation, are all in the crosshairs of this vile, corrupt fascist abomination, whether for our nation of origin or the color of our skin or what bathroom we use or what social services we rely on or what retirement benefits we’ve spent our lives paying into.
None of us is safe, and all of us are dependent on the rest of us. We are tethered together.
As news breaks this weekend that the Trump Administration is considering suspending habeas corpus, a legal procedure allowing people under the Law to challenge their detention in court, every single American who claims to be guided by faith, morality, or conscience should be deciding how they are going to step into the fight, which isn’t just a fight for families like the one whose terror was paraded through the streets and on the news—it is a brutal and bloody battle for the nation we want to be and the one we refuse to become.
You and I may be lucky enough not to have to watch our children’s faces being driven into the street or see our parents imprisoned without a crime, but we will all be visited by grief and suffering and theft and violation at the hands of this regime, and we’d better all start getting pissed off enough to push back in ways we never have before.
Don’t look away from the videos.
Don’t bury your head in the sands of distraction.
Don’t wish away a horror that will not leave on its own.
Pick a hill and decide what you’re willing to lose to fight for it.
On this Mother’s Day, this President and this Administration are saying to all mothers and their children and their parents: to hell with you.
And you and I are the only thing left standing in their way."
Rev. John Pavlovitz
