for me impeachment isn't what we should be after. this president and most of his cabinet and staff should be prosecuted for corruption, fraud, war crimes, obstruction, and all the various crimes they have committed. i will only vote for a presidential candidate in 2028 who commits to this.

So should universities like Stanford, UCSF, Hopkins take back people who have presided over an unprecedented destruction of science & public health in the US, particularly Bhattacharya, Prasad & Makary? No. When this is over, there should be no going back to the places they once called home.

So does this argument also apply to tax returns (OK so long as postmarked by April 15), court documents, etc.? Or do we have one standard for ballots, and another for all other government-recognized documents?
Several conservatives on the U.S. Supreme Court appear to want to strike down Mississippi's practice of counting mail-ballots that are postmarked by Election Day but arrive afterward.
It would affect more than a dozen other states, including California and New York.

In 2020, I argued every state must count mail-in ballots postmarked by Election Day.
Today, the RNC argued no state can.
That is how far the right has descended into voter suppression. And it is why I continue to fight.
