SCROTUS have stretched Senate rules trying to pass the Dontcare bill as a budget reconciliation bill.

That's the Republicans for you. They don't recognize anything whatsoever as being above their partisan aims.

Congress is on the verge of jailing Americans that participate in the Palestinian boycott of Israel or even Gush Shalom's boycott of products made in Israel's colonies in occupied Palestine.

The ACLU is campaigning against the bill.

Here's the ACLU's letter to senators, which gives more details about what the bill would prohibit. It is shocking.

The US government seeks to ban mention in Reality Winner's trial of all leaked material that newspapers have published.

This would eliminate any chance of her contesting government claims about the significance of material that she is accused of leaking.

Children of disabled American parents face the danger of being put into foster care.

I don't believe that anyone is entitled to a right to have children, but we must treat children with regard for their well-being. Unless parents are quite abusive, taking children away from them will hurt those children.

One defiant journalist recorded and posted the troll's "press briefing" at which recording was forbidden.

It is good to defy the troll, but that doesn't mean that the recording is worth actually listening to. The troll's "press briefings" are meant to distract and confuse the public and to diminish the press. We should not treat what is said in them as significant.

I suggest that news media start sending apprentices to these "briefings", tasked with making brief notes about the topics, and start calling them "distraction events" or "lie sessions'.

Then organizations can start demanding that the troll hold real, serious press briefings.
