Gideon Sa'ar, ex-Likud member & ex-Justice Minister on Levin's plan to subvert Israel's judicial independence, Separation of powers & the democratic character of the state:

"During his speech tonight, Minister Levin mentioned Menachem Begin, the legendary first leader of the Likud party. But his words were no less than an execution of Begin's democratic and governmental doctrine. There's no doubt that Begin would have rejected each one of the steps in the plan for regime change in Israel. The real students [of Begin] must fight this. And that's what I will do."

@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."

😎 Netanyahu's efforts to evade justice by undermining the Separation of Powers in Israel evidently negates the democratic character of the State of Israel, apparently in violation of Section 7A, Amendment No.9:

"7A. A candidates' list shall not participate in elections to the Knesset if its objects or actions, expressly or by implication, include one of the following:

"Prevention of participation of candidates' list

(1) negation of the existence of the State of Israel as the state of the Jewish people;

***(2) negation of the democratic character of the State;***

(3) incitement to racism."

@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€”

@springdiesel The pretty uncomfortable truth holds, that Hitler's Nazis framed their antisemitic Nuremberg race laws inspired by American racist anti-POC laws & rules like the "one-drop policy".
And that America succeeded at defeating the Nazis at Normandy's Omaha & Utah beaches, but failed to do so in real Omaha, Utah & other parts of the United States. Until today.
Deterred (?) by an almost self-destructive interpretation of the First Amendment?

@shawnwegner You're not alone! The patience & understanding of many of us democrats has been put to a truly overstressing test, since Putin's career-criminal corrupt agent was implanted into White House on Jan 20, 2017.
Bringing him to well-deserved justice is the test for the resilience & authority of the United States' , that's governing America's democratic representation of its sovereign people.

@ZhiZhu Tell me again, what *adhering to the Enemies of the United States, giving them Aid and Comfort* means in legal terms.

And anyone wanna suggest, that ex-KGB lackey Putin is not an enemy of the United States?

(URCC) Republicans of 1867 to black voters:

"[T]he word Radical as applied to political parties and politicians ... means one who is in favor of going to the root of things; who is thoroughly in earnest; who desires that slavery should be abolished, that every disability connected therewith should be obliterated."

"Republicans" of 2023:

Hold it, I gotta redraw congressional districts to disable blacks!

@TonyStark The "Republican" synonym for "deregulation" is "corruption".

"Line my pockets & I'll kill whatever rules you want killed!"

Nothing "grand" about Corrupticans.

@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.

@GreenFire Nothing says grifting, corruption & treason like "Republican" Trump.

Unforgettable: "Republican" Putin-servant Trump abusing the power of presidential office to extort Ukraine's President Zelenskyy to have the Bidens smeared & destroyed.

"Republicans" still distractingly looking for dirt on the Bidens while sitting in a stinking pool of 4-years-old Trump-dirt will not go that well, despite all desperate "GOP" efforts to keep their voters disinformed.

@GreenFire Well-observed. Poor, artificially reduced response to Katie Porter's tweets proves, that twitter's corrupt sh*t stew has already been boiling, when Musk was still entirely focused on screwing Tesla.
Twitter deserves to go TF to hell already.

@jackiegardina Ordered is as bad as .

If history serves as truthful lessons to learn from it for a better future, suppressing historical truth & facts is active prevention of a better, optimized future for humanity.

"Purging" lesson plans to sweep "uncomfortable" truths under the rug of rebellion has the stench of Inquisition & dicktatorships, at the same time.

@RustyBertrand Mandatory voting is a strong reminder to your right not to be overheard & out-elected.
True democracies make their electorates heard - even if they're too shy to be counted!
