Democracy dies in oligarchy.

- Reposted by Dewey Cheatem & HoweThis week, President Donald Trump and the GOP kicked their intertwined anti-voting crusades — promoting lies about the 2020 election, and restricting voting in 2026 and beyond — into high gear. And Democracy Docket tracked them every step of the way. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
- Reposted by Dewey Cheatem & HoweYes, this friendly 2019 Jeffrey Epstein email exchange is about the owner of the Patriots, Robert Kraft. But it's more important who it is WITH: Brad Karp, the chairman of Paul, Weiss. And Karp was still chairman when Paul, Weiss became the first law firm to cave to Trump's demands in 2025. 1/

I don’t like that he had a gun,” Trump says about Alex Pretti. “I don’t fucking care that they have guns, they’re not here to hurt me… Let them in,” Trump said on J6. Get it? 2A is only for those who support him and his tyrannical regime.

- Reposted by Dewey Cheatem & HoweAbolish ICE is not enough. Stern words for Greg Bovino or Kristi Noem is not enough. We need prosecutions and trials. Anything short of this position fails to address the gravity of this moment.
- Reposted by Dewey Cheatem & HoweYou can call it an “execution” if you want to, but let’s be clear on this… Murder is a crime and is prosecutable. Execution is a legal punishment carried out by the state after due process. There is no due process yesterday.

- Reposted by Dewey Cheatem & HoweYes, the GOP controls Congress. That's why it's key to show Congress COULD stop the madness. And it's not just the DHS bill. Congress could repeal the prior multi-year $75b for DHS; set up a special investigative committee (cf. Watergate); amend the Insurrection Act; etc.
- Reposted by Dewey Cheatem & HoweDems should introduce legislation now defunding ICE and CBP operations in Minnesota, so they have to leave the state. One sentence bill. Demand an immediate vote. Maybe refuse to vote for cloture on any funding bills (or other bills) until a vote. Make the GOP Congress break w/ Trump or own it all.
