Breeching charges, something used in special operations warfare, now being used by civil law enforcement. No knock, no warrant, the person they were looking for wasn't there, 2 children in the house, and the operation appears to be retribution for speaking in opposition to their activities.

The expression, "Break it down Barney style" comes to mind. I suppose this is what it takes when people don't even try to pay attention.

Is this not what he looks like

This isn't just another story. It truly is art. It is extremely disconcerting how history repeats itself.

How long until Elon is found dead, cause ruled as suicide?

The founder of American military order and discipline was pretty damn gay and open about it. We wouldn't exist as a nation were it not for this and many other queer persons who did great works while living and loving as they wanted. Remember the history that horrible people try to erase.

Stop idolizing and glorifying the system. It's imperfect by nature and designed to be updated. So much trouble throughout our history comes from partisan power-grabs and refusal to adopt change in a timely manner. And yes, many other countries do government far better than us.

Anyone can reserve up to 2 tickets per phone number for this grand parade on June 14th in DC. It would be a damn shame if people got them and didn't show. My confirmation text message got sent to the spam folder, so check there when reserving.

From Ann Telnaes, the same cartoonist who quit working for a would-be oligarch instead of censoring the truth. K is for trying to kill with no plan Q is for question - will democracy survive? S is for separation of powers abuse Y is for years, the damage is done Z is for zen & better days to come

Some kids recently asked why he is orange. We're still wondering that ourselves. And since ignoring him doesn't work... "...I hear there's an absence of Trumps in the North."

"Informed public debate becomes impossible when some parties refuse to read the material under dispute. Reading is not just a pastime or luxury, but a precondition of democratic life, one of the practices that keep debate and disagreement grounded, focused, and productive." Judith Butler

Hand me my magic wand, I’m gonna try to turn these Trumpkins into a real administration. 🪄🤦🏻‍♂️🎶 #Incompetent #NewVideo #Parody

"There will always be antidemocratic forces working to undermine truth, rule of law, and democracy. The fight for democracy and the corresponding fight for truth must be fought in each generation." Believe in democracy, pursue the truth, work to improve our institutions, support good journalism.

"The paper says we are an insult to America, but we are Americans too. If they can put us in here like this, they could put the Negroes or the Chinese or the Mexicans or the Jews or anyone else in too. We want to live in America again. America needs everybody now. Isn't America still democratic?"

Our political institutions have severely detached from and alienated the working class. The people are hardly represented by the government, corporate structures, or infrastructure. We're stuck with archaic forms of power that represent fewer people with more power and extremism.

So glad our founders weren't as stupid as our leaders today. No, I didn't vote for Benedict Arnold to be President.

Good riddance! Now to get rid of the other about 20 more incompetent department heads ...and their boss.

From an atheist to the Catholics: my condolences on Pope Francis. I think of all the Popes we've had in the last hundred years, he was the least likely to have molested a child.

Now would be a good time to review this. He has refused his assent to laws... ...laws for the accommodation of large districts of people... ...obstructing the laws for naturalization of foreigners... ...obstructed the administration of justice... ...made judges dependent on his will alone...

El Salvador's president called Kilmar Abrego Garcia a terrorist. Our president called him a criminal, and then referred to those asking about his release as "sick people." Our president has insulted our government and people, and is refusing to fight for an innocent man. Would he fight for you?

Steve Bannon being read the Constitutional ammendment regarding presidential term limits, and he still insists a 3rd term is possible. Maybe if they finally admitted Tr*mp was not a person and is actually part orangutan.

Is this why they want to take away the Department of Education?

#ProudBlue This is how a person shows up! Hope Walz, Tim Walz's daughter, is using her privilege not to go to her grad school and go into debt if the school don't support their students' constitutional rights.

"It's not left or right; it's right or wrong. Let's get in good trouble."

I have never in my life been as proud of a member of the United States Senate as I am of Mr. Booker. A close second is John McCain's thumb down to protect health care.

Why can't he just quietly cry into a pile of money like most rich people?

Secretary Clinton asks the question of the day: “How much dumber will this get?” Im afraid of the answer.
