It's not a stretch to state that enmeshed within the ideology of Republicans, far-right groups, and Evangelical Christianity is the repeated molestation and abuse of children. It's layered into the very marrow of their belief systems.

Man, why can't the world just be normal for a few days

The danger of the kind of escalation spiral we are in is starting to show its full face in that it’s not just the federal government. the parallel rightwing system that has been set up within law-enforcement is absolutely a paramilitary fascist force that will use violence to back federal actions.

kristi noem is a sick fuck.

Not taking anything away from Senator Padilla because he was treated atrociously But I JUST want to remind everyone that the Congresswoman LaMonica McIver, a Black woman, was just indicted for just asking questions at an ICE detention center in her state Keep that same energy of support for her

That's it. We have now crossed the line, the point of no return, the Rubicon. We're talking at least thirty hours of speech-making, followed by a rigorous book tour. The moment demands nothing less.

My senator.

Alex Padilla is an American citizen of Mexican descent. The video of a Mexican-American being manhandled by thugs will play extremely well with the sort of trash who support Trump. Decent people are outraged. Shitty people with shitty values from a shitty culture are thrilled.

whining about how the protestors need to mind their manners sure looks fucking stupid now

This is insane and also I hope that seeing a US fucking senator thrown to the ground and cuffed for asking a question will help some of the people who still aren’t getting it to recognize that THE POLICE ARE THE SOURCE OF THE VIOLENCE

I think California needs to start arresting Feds. drastic but we’re there.

The sole criteria I will be voting on in the 2028 primary is which candidate credibly promises to put the largest number of Trump officials in prison. I do not care about any of their other policies.

Arrest ICE, lock them up, and there away the key.

I was a medic at the Santa Ana protests in OC today. I watched police fire tear gas, flash bangs, & rubber bullets into crowds of men, women, & children. Other medics and I were clearly marked with red crosses, and the police were targeting us. One of the most fucked up things I’ve ever seen.

it is sort of funny that trumpism is the exact system they were trying to avoid and yet none of their institutional fixes to prevent this worked time to think about this

Protests across the country are a sign of weakness. Attempting to turn the military against the American people 6 months into your term is a sign of weakness. Don’t believe the anti-anti-Trump people in both parties who have always been in awe of Trump. They’re still wrong.

All that Republicans really seem to want is to massacre their fellow citizens, and they seem to want it very much. I think it would be responsible for the public discourse to include this fact in every single story about pretty much any topic.

Borders and masculinity are the same in that they’re both fake and they’re both talked about incessantly by the most tiresome men.

Every loser you grew up with that had no game and no ladies now runs the government and they are gonna take it out on you because Alicia in 9th grade science said ew when he asked her out

Hello. I live in Los Angeles. The president is lying.

sitting in my apartment firing off missives instructing protesters on the morally correct way to respond when they’re fired on by federal forces

A lot of these folks think Trump is only kicking out dangerous criminals. They don't hear about the arbitrarily canceled visas and TPS and asylees who are following the rules. Huge messaging failure by Democrats.

Fuck man things are bad

People tried so hard to follow the law, Byzantine and unjust as it is. They showed up at meetings, filled out the paperwork, went to the courthouse. You responded by kidnapping them in front of their children and dragging them to black sites. This is what’s left. This is all that’s left.

The administration gets closer to using the military to crush civilian dissent. Expect deaths, disappearances, and lawless detentions.

Land of the free Home of the brave

the people who make this country unsafe aren’t immigrants. the people who make this country unsafe are cops.

The craziest thing about this fight between Trump and Elon Musk is that Republicans are trying to take away health care from 16 million people to pay for tax cuts for billionaires.

I'm just glad one of these men has the nuclear codes and the other has all our personal data.

Tell me again how women are too emotional to run the country?

I mean even the Titanic had entertainment as it was going down.

this is a day for those of us who have spent the last six months terminally online. this is for us and honestly, we deserve it.

The United States is Jerry Springer now. The United States is full of embarrassing trash.
