@zaibatsu 😎 How perfectly would a Stop M.A.D. Act (Moron Acts Dumb) meet the insurrectionary insanity of Flearida"s wannabe-king Con DeSantis going from book-banning to book-burning...

@ZhiZhu Masses of evidence for Trump's incitement to commit crimes, his intentions to manipulate official proceedings & attack the authority of the United States out in the open β€” where Trump's still free to laugh about failing accountability.

@gwfoto Mini-Putin DeSantis is dumbf**king wrong, if he thinks he's free to ignore the First Amendment, Freedom of Speech & Freedom of the Press:

"Gitlow v. New York, 268 U.S. 652 (1925), was a landmark decision of the United States Supreme Court holding that the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution had extended the First Amendment's provisions protecting freedom of speech and freedom of the press to apply to the governments of U.S. states."

Also interesting with regard to Trump's Jan 6 rally, in 1925 SCOTUS held as follows:
"The Fourteenth Amendment prohibits states from infringing free speech, but the defendant was properly convicted under New York's Criminal Anarchy Law because he disseminated newspapers that advocated the violent overthrow of the government."

@GottaLaff If there's one thing the history of Hitler's power-grab (, which Trump obviously & desperately tries to replay to evade justice) can teach & already should've taught us, it's that anti-democratic forces must never be part of legitimate & legal democratic processes like elections:

"When democracy granted democratic methods for us in the times of opposition, this was bound to happen in a democratic system. However, we National Socialists never asserted that we represented a democratic point of view, but we have declared openly that we used democratic methods only in order to gain the power and that, after assuming the power, we would deny to our adversaries without any consideration the means which were granted to us in the times of opposition."
β€” Joseph Goebbels, Hitler's Propaganda Minister β€”

@rubbercable A f**ked-up system lets extremists abuse (compromised) courts to undermine the constitutional order.

"The problem here goes beyond a single hearing, or even this single case. The real issue is systemic. Far-right groups have created a judicial pipeline to predictable triumph in one culture war battle after another: from Kacsmaryk in the plains of the Texas panhandle, to the hyperconservative U.S. Court of Appeals for the 5th Circuit, to the radically stacked majority on the Trump-packed U.S. Supreme Court.
One Amarillo-based judge with carte blanche, virtually certain his extreme views will prevail on appeal, is apparently planning to curtail abortion access across the country."

@jbf1755 Hate & death cults like today's "Republicans" naturally disqualify themselves from ever holding any public office under the United States, as much as Confederates did.
Why? Because they're subversively attacking the authority of the *United* States.
Which is unacceptable, intolerable & insurrectionary.

@shawnwegner The United States mandates, that subversives be investigated, prosecuted & if necessary indicted.
Today's congressional "Republicans" are far away from being "conservative" - real conservatives don't try to subvert, overthrow & remove the existing constitutional order.

@CP @JaneETowle Yes! And at the end of the day those dark-money conspirators are attempting to weaken America, serving Kremlin mob boss Putin.

They chose the damn wrong side, for money.

@pivoinebleue It's clear, that those criminalizing drag performances in public or same-sex or interracial marriages are acting in blatant violation of the Fourteenth Amendment, as SCOTUS Justice Joseph P. Bradley commented in *Civil Rights Cases* (1883), establishing, that "individual invasion of individual rights is not the subject-matter of the [Fourteenth] Amendment.

It has a deeper and broader scope. It nullifies and makes void all state legislation, and state action of every kind, which impairs the privileges and immunities of citizens of the United States, or which injures them in life, liberty or property without due process of law, or which denies to any of them the equal protection of the laws."

@Zandarvts The overwhelming majority of today's so-called "Republican Party" has left any pretended loyalty to the foundations of the United States Constitution behind, returning to the revanchist roots of its ancestry & fiercely attacking the Constitution's Reconstruction Amendments 13, 14 & 15.

Roe v. Wade (Abortion): SCOTUS decision based on the 14th Amendment.

Brown v. Board of Education (Racial segregation): SCOTUS decision based on the 14th Amendment.

Obergefell v. Hodges (Same-sex marriage): SCOTUS decision based on the 14th Amendment.

Just to recall: Defeated states of the Confederacy weren't allowed to regain congressional representation until they ratified the 14thAmendment.

So what we're seeing today is the attempt of anti-constitutional rebel offsprings/ Confederate zombies to roll back enforced ratification of the 14th Amendment & human progress it entailed for the American people.

@atrupar Spoiler alert: Even the megalomaniacal government of Florida (like any other of the 50 states) is bound to abide by the provision of the First Amendment, that "Congress shall make no law... ...abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press...", as held by the SCOTUS in Gitlow v. New York (1925) => Due Process, 14th Amendment.

DeSantis (or any other "GOP" potentate) wants to rebel against the Constitution?
Be prepared to be considered an insurrectionist, appropriately punished & disqualified.

@LeftistLawyer @avuko Christian supremacy ideology has presumably been around as long as after the day Jesus Christ's last alleged disciple died or the Roman emperor declared Christianity the state religion.

On the other hand, "Christian nationalism" is nothing but a self-justifying excuse for being religiously completely dumb & ignorant by notorious grifters like MTG, Gaetz, Boebert & similarly dishonest, greedy & spiteful enemies of the American people's Constitution & the Declaration of Independence.

@flexghost "GOP"-dominated U.S. senates confirming "judges" & justices are backchanne insurance entities for biased partisan propaganda outlets like Murdoch's Fox "News".
