From @repmikelevin on Dead🐦 4hrs ago:

Trump’s DOJ just admitted it used false information to justify HUNDREDS of unauthorized arrests at #immigration courts.

#DHS’s response? They're going to keep doing it.
...
This is an agency that believes it is above the law, and a president who is perfectly fine with that. It cannot stand.

β€’ The system has failed.
β€’ The Constitution has failed.
β€’ The "free" press has failed.
β€’ The judicial branch has failed.
β€’ The legislative branch has failed.
β€’ The executive branch has failed.
β€’ Capitalism has failed.
β€’ The People have failed in their obligation to rise up and overthrow tyranny.

Sucks to be us.

@Quasit @repmikelevin

Wouldn't say all these things have failed. I think we've been faced w/the unforeseen circumstance of a president & a GOP unafraid to behave outrageously, illegally & in blatant defiance of the Constitution & the ppl's will. We now see we can't rely on norms & conventions to act as restraints on power & where protections need to be tightened. That's what the Dems & others must work on RIGHT NOW so we can start immediately after the midterms w/new legislation etc.

And that includes a boatload of impeachments.

Only in fantastical dreams. I presume you're being facetious.

This isn't 18th Century France or 17th Century England.

@ginaintheburg @repmikelevin

I hope not. But do you really think the oligarchs would be willing to give up their power and privilege without a fight?

Personally I wouldn't be at all surprised if they wouldn't much rather nuke the whole planet rather than give up their power! And seriously, is there any question that this is the greatest existential threat that the human race has ever faced? We are literally facing extinction. As a father, I'm not willing to see the children of the future snuffed out to preserve a class of pedophile plutocrats!

@Quasit @repmikelevin

No, 'course not. They'll put up a hell of a fight. And so needs we! And by "we" I mean all democracy proponents around the world pulling out all the stops. Demos/rallies are great, but not enough alone. We need to bring vulture capitalism & corruption like what we've seen w/the Trump era to heel. We need all countries to stiffen their spines & buck up, use their own powers of sanctions, legislation, buying power, defense & supply networks to bypass TACO, choke him off.

@ginaintheburg @repmikelevin

How do we stop them from setting off the nukes?
