Trump Admin has started disappearing people without evidence, and their best defense is that the lack of evidence highlights how little we know about them, and apparently that makes them dangerous enough to be deported to foreign prisons. #uspol

Climate groups are being charged with “conspiracy to defraud the United States” just for receiving grants from the Biden Administration. Their assets are being frozen and this will no doubt force them to use their already limited funds to defend against a baseless, cruel, unfounded claim that is a clear weaponization of the justice system. #uspol #fbi

Iowa legislature votes to erase gender identity from protections against discrimination.

The main sponsor of the bill admits he had never thought about the discrimination trans people face before the bill was pushed through. #uspol #transrights #iowa

Every single confirmation hearing #uspol

Democratic lawmakers: did you say this? quotes them word for word from their memoir

Lying scumbag: I don’t know.

Democratic lawmakers: …but you did say it, in a book you published last month. It’s right here and it’s awful, and it’s consistent with all your previous statements over the last 2 decades.

Lying scumbag: I disavow every previous statement I’ve ever made. It doesn’t matter what I said back then, it matters what I say now.

Democratic lawmakers: …OK. So, if Donald Trump asks you to break the law, will you?

Lying scumbag: I refuse to answer hypotheticals.

Democratic lawmakers: …but that’s the point of you being here, to answer questions about what you’ll do in your position. And it’s what he keeps saying he wants you to do, so it’s not a hypothetical.

Lying scumbag: he could never ask me to to break the law, that’s impossible. I refuse to even answer a question like that.

Democratic lawmakers: you are literally going to kill people.

Lying scumbag: ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS ARE THE ONES KILLING US!! YOU’RE RESTRICTING MY FREE SPEECH!! TRANS PEOPLE ARE COMING FOR OUR CHILDREN!!

I’ve released a browser extension!

A very simple addon that enforces a white background on pages without a background or with a transparent background. Made mostly for #ZenBrowser but compatible with anything #firefox based, if you can find a use for it.

Isn’t it awesome how Jill Stein and the Green Party have been on the frontlines of fighting the Trump administration?

Wait, she’s barely said a word since the election? She isn’t doing the work? And she isn’t trying to build support for her party or anything? She just shows up at the 11th hour and siphons votes from the Democratic Party with unrealistic promises? No way!

This is insane — Elon is somehow trying to get rid of all regulation. Generally we have regulations because we have already run into a major issue and have determined that it is enough of a problem it needs to be regulated.

Via Futurism:
"Regulations, basically, should be default gone," the head of the White House's Department of Government Efficiency said on the call, as spotted by HuffPost. "Not default there, default gone."

"If it turns out that we missed the mark on a regulation, we can always add it back in," he suggested. "These regulations are added willy-nilly all the time. So we’ve just got to do a wholesale, spring cleaning of regulation and get the government off the backs of everyday Americans so people can get things done."
