“No right is safe in the new legal regime the Court creates.” –Justice Sonia Sotomayor.

Opinion | Now that colleges can pay student-athletes, the NCAA should go pro - The Washington Post www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...
The NCAA is a billion-dollar behemoth. It should be treated like other for-profit organizations.
A anti-Trump protestor is having a total standoff with an armored National Guard vehicle in DC. He is planted firm with his sign.
The reason various red states are sending their states National Guard troops to DC is a prelude to a larger deployment of troops on US soil and the occupation of Blue run cities
It will only take a minimal civil unrest incident for Trump to escalate this and DC is just an initial trial run
To all asking where is Kamala Harris this is what our Joyful Warrior was doing while her opponent Donald Trump deployed National Guard troops on innocent protesters yesterday. 🔥
Think about it this way: Tomorrow, the democratic leaders of Europe are coming to Washington, DC, where armed National Guard troops are on patrol, to convince a U.S. president, who called in those troops, that he should not hand Russia the sovereignty of Ukraine, which Russia illegally invaded.
This moment is so unnecessary. Trump's bullying of Zelensky, flattery of Putin, and even his convening the futile Alaska "summit" all stem from the complete absence of anyone willing to tell him no. He is acting like a personalist dictator. @foreignaffairs.com www.foreignaffairs.com/united-state...
MAGA aren't republican, they are pro-monarchy, pro-oligarchy, and pro-autocracy. Supporting corruption and removing power from the people to concentrate it in the hands of a few wealthy and corporate entities and individuals is the opposite of republicanism. They are regressives.
