And there you have it. ICE didn't target migrant workers in Kristi Noem's farms or Sarah Huckabee Sanders' meatpacking plants because they wanted to create a riot in LA as a pretext to declaring martial law. They don't care about undocumented migrants, they only care about controlling US citizens.

Union busters should never be allowed in the Democratic Party.

If you are National Guard or Active Duty military and you are being ordered to violate the constitutional rights of US citizens then this is the number to the GI Rights Hotline. There is support. You don’t have to go through with it. 877-447-4487

Ahem.

Bitch you're the only person talking about this shit! This is letting the other side dictate the debate! We've been beaten over the head with Alexander Hamilton quotes for a decade and yet party leadership still hasn't internalized the easiest thing: "Those who stand for nothing fall for anything."

ICE is the January 6 insurrectionists all over again. Only instead of attacking law enforcement, they are pretending to *be* law enforcement. And instead of just terrorizing at the Capitol, they are doing it EVERYWHERE.

Welcome to America, where protesting illegal kidnappings without due process is an insurrection, but attacking the nation’s Capitol is not.

A $100M lawsuit from the Proud Boys isn’t about damages, it’s a laundering mechanism and a way to fund a domestic terrorist organization with plausible deniability. I’ll bet the Trump Admin. settles for ~$25 million and a thank-you card for brand loyalty and future services.

See the difference? 👀

The militarization of ICE and DHS will lead to more violent escalations. Historically, these are the kind of incidents that lead to civil wars. The mass deportations must end.

A teacher breaks down after ICE causes multiple schools to lockdown during graduation ceremonies and parents to flee for their lives. Only the soulless aren’t hurting from what is happening in our country. This is affecting all of us.

Our deep blue district is represented by a 1st year Congressperson who hasn't said a peep about ICE raids despite the fact that 1 in 5 residents are Hispanic and every local farm relies on seasonal migrant labor. Disappointed doesn't begin to describe how I feel right now

Your bill is going to cut coverage for 11 million Americans and it’ll still cost more than universal healthcare. Healthcare is a human right, you absolute ghouls.

Ordinary people on both sides of the aisle want the Epstein Files released in their entirety. Elites on both sides of the aisle are praying they never get released.

We need details on this.

The bigotry pushed by Pete Hegseth makes me glad I don’t have to serve under that asshole.

Reminder to ICE: Do not lay hands on American citizens. Video, photos, and personal information have been recorded. Actions have consequences. If you have information to share, email [email protected]. Your safety is our top priority, never forget that.

Why aren’t Dems on everything talking about the Joni Ernst “you can die” bill?

This statement from Jonathan Joss's husband is heart breaking. No, headline writers, he wasn't "killed in an argument with a neighbor." He was *deliberately murdered* for being gay right after his dog was decapitated. Bet the murderer calls himself a "Christian." THIS is why Pride is important.

“It can’t be Pride Month, it’s Veterans Month!” I’ve got news for you, it’s also National Papaya Month and National Adopt-a-Cat Month. If you went 0-31 on Military Appreciation Month posts in May, go adopt a kitten, eat some fruit, and kindly sit this one out.

Guess this was their whole plan regarding death panels. Don’t need them if we’re all going to die early.

🏳️‍🌈HAPPY PRIDE MONTH!!!!❤️ LOVE IS LOVE.💙

Typical Republican. Trying to pin Trump’s shortcomings on Biden.

Can't have DEI if the ABA is letting everyone know how unqualified your nominations are.

BREAKING: Elon Musk's AI Company is Choking Memphis Residents and Not Enough People Are Talking About It. This is the scariest story, and more people need to read it. open.substack.com/pub/aaronpar...

RFK Jr., on science: “It is not merely that speeches, statistics, and records of every kind must be constantly brought up to date in order to show that the predictions of the Party were in all cases right.” “And if the facts say otherwise then the facts must be altered.” Oops jk. That was Orwell.

RFK Jr. is reportedly going to forbid government scientists from publishing in the world’s most respected medical journals — the Lancet, The New England Journal of Medicine, JAMA, etc. It’s going to take decades to repair the damage done by this administration.

Republicans never cared about "fiscal responsibility." They use it as a tool to cut programs that hurt Americans to the benefit of their oligarchic benefactors.

She is an American citizen, the daughter of a U.S. Navy service member from Illinois, who was stationed in the Philippines during the Vietnam War. This is fascism, plain and simple.

Claims != Truth. Makary is likely lying and Fox will (almost) always allow Republicans to lie.

I ran for office as a progressive Democrat in very rural, very red Missouri. I didn’t win. I was able to move the needle a few points, but the point isn’t always winning–the point is always running. No seat uncontested. bluemissouri.org/jessica-pipe...

Jordan Peterson was humiliated when he left his safe space, the same thing happened to Charlie Kirk. The more these people are challenged, the more they are exposed. This is why they rarely venture out of the right-wing bubble.

Black people cannot cure racism because it is not OUR problem. It is white people’s disease. Period. It’s contagious. Yes. But until yall decide to cure that cancer, we will continue this cyclical dehumanization of others

MUST WATCH: She came out with her girlfriend. They took her high school diploma. This is bigger than one school—it’s a system built to silence. F*ck Around & Find Out is the playbook for fighting back. Read it. Share it. Use it: stan.store/gxldsociety/...

In other words, he promised repeatedly during the campaign he had a secret plan to end the war in 24 hours and he was just bullshitting everyone because he doesn’t have the first clue what to do, he gave away all negotiating leverage months ago, and his special envoy is a dope.

Work requirements hurt poor people AND are a waste of money. Arkansas spent $26 million on administrative costs for work requirements — and saw no increase in employment. Georgia’s program cost $40 million in one year — 80% of that went to administrative and consulting costs.

Oh for the good old days when every editorial board in America LOUDLY demanded the Clintons shut down their charitable organization for fear it would be used to curry favor w/Hillary if she became President 🙃

Conmen will always do it on the cheap every chance they get.
