Lawrence O'Donnell has been reporting in a way that is the verbal equivalent of kicking someone in the balls — and then doing it again, just for good measure. That's the kind of reporting we need. Not this candy-ass, sugar-coated BS so many others are putting out. #LawrenceGetsIt

An indictment that should be on the epitaph of the Roberts Court.

Thinking about the tut-tutting Democratic politicians who spent their two years in power warning that Supreme Court expansion was too radical an idea to even think about taking seriously. You absolute fucking rubes. You gigantic, credulous losers. I hope you are ashamed of yourselves today.

General strikes are needed now. We are not gonna be able to start pushing back without serious sustained peaceful protest on a mass scale.

No punches pulled. Justice Jackson warns that the Supreme Court has just put the country on a path to dictatorship. “Eventually, executive power will become completely uncontainable, and our beloved constitutional Republic will be no more.” www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Boop, there it is

BREAKING: if the Supreme Court wants a class action to hold Trump's birthright citizenship unconstitutional nationwide, we will give them one! We @democracydefendersaction.org just filed with our wonderful partners @aclu.org, NAACP LDF, LULAC & more assets.aclu.org/live/uploads...

Bezos Wedding Guests Given Monogrammed Plastic Bottles To Urinate In During Ceremony theonion.com/bezos-w...

Logistics Events Corp. and U.S. Tent Rental, two businesses out of Florida, have been hired to help build Alligator Alcatraz. An inhumane concentration camp being built for innocent immigrants. You decide what to do next.

Fake agents are targeting schools! We knew it was happening! Nice to see the news finally reporting it Push for lawmakers to make it illegal for LEO to hide their identities!  Call your senators and representatives at 202-234-3121 and demand they investigate ICE!

“ICE” bounty hunters made this possible. By making it easy to cosplay as federal agents: masked faces, no visible ID, no official vehicles, and gear that any yahoo can buy on Amazon. They look like criminals! 🚨 Man arrested who pretended to be an ICE agent while committing a robbery in Houston.

It’s hard to overstate how angry rank and file Dems are at the Dem establishment right now. And if I were a self-preservationist incumbent I would take note.

Trump just said the B-2 pilots called him the other day because they were “devastated by the press.” “Sir, sir…” they said. Bull. Fucking. Shit.

Media Peeps and Advocates: 🚨 URGENT URGENT URGENT 🚨 Arrested at the Senate building today, disabled activist Carol Olinger needs insulin and dialysis NOW! Circulate and make some noise. Thank you!

Budzinski: Families making over $700,000 a year will see a boost of $12,000 almost entirely from tax cuts. Shockingly, households making $23,000 a year or less are set to lose about $1600 a year, mostly due to deep cuts to Medicaid and food assistance

Here's your periodic reminder that political centrism is nonsense. There is no middle ground between democracy and oligarchy.

MUST SEE: Congresswoman Schrier nails conspiracy theorist and unfortunate HHS Secretary, RFK Jr., on the value of vaccines—and it’s glorious. Schrier also happens to be the first pediatrician in Congress.

Hot take: people should be able to call the police to verify if they think they’re being kidnapped by men in masks who won’t identify themselves in unmarked cars without it being a “resisting” crime

These old scoundrels haunt the world with ruthless speed, their lies and betrayals staining history. In 15 years, they’ll be gone, but in 150, the scars of their violence will still cripple millions.

Remember, this new normal -- in which gangs of masked armed gunmen are causing chaos in the streets, pulling weapons and assaulting innocent people, and no one can say if they're crooks or cops -- was all sold to Americans as a way to make us feel safer.

UPDATE: Hero at the Torrance car wash, Bertha Alicia Guzmán, is speaking out after stepping in like a boss during an “immigration raid”. She helped stop a worker from being taken by “ICE” agents suspected of being imposters.

Brownshirt ICE rolled up to my local Home Depot today and got the F-off treatment. Shoutout to this woman because this is exactly how it’s done. No badge, face covered = F*ck all the way off. 📌 It’s on us citizens to stand up for our vulnerable brothers and sisters.

Three years ago today, Roe v. Wade was overturned, upending decades of precedent and rolling back women’s freedom. As Senator, I’ll always fight to protect your freedom and restore Roe as the law of the land.

True words!

🚨NEW: Erez Reuveni, the DOJ lawyer fired for his honesty in the Kilmar Abrego Garcia case, sends Congress a whistleblower letter detailing lawlessness at the DOJ around the CECOT deportations. He says Emil Bove told the DOJ to respond to likely court orders blocking flights with "fuck you."

Two things can both be true: A nuclear armed Iran would be a terrible thing for the world. AND Trump and Netanyahu are doing this for reasons other than the greater good, and shouldn’t get any benefit of the doubt.

Reminder this is Trump’s war and he made the choice to do this. Just as he chose to walk away from diplomacy with Iran over and over again. We must ask why he did this? His poll numbers have been bad—ice invasions, military deployments against Americans, his tariffs, his failed parade.

Millions will lose health coverage, countless jobs are at risk, and rural hospitals face closure. All for massive tax cuts for the super-rich? That's not solving problems; it's creating a crisis. We need to protect our families, our communities, and our healthcare.

I’m a U.S. Army combat veteran! I did not spend time away from my family for the bullshit going on in this country! I took an oath to defend the constitution against enemies foreign and domestic! Right now the enemy is domestic sitting at the White House! We stand with immigrants!

While Iran is the shiny object of the day, don’t forget - Civilians are still being slaughtered in Ukraine. Civilians are still being ground up in Gaza. Masked gangs are still violently rounding up people in our streets. Oh, and someone tried to shoot up a church in MI on Sunday 🤐

An entire generation of “manly” Republican men being triggered by Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is the warm blanket that tucks me in at night.

#ProudBlue 📣 Thank you, Venice #taxtherich

This is simply horrific. @timmiller.bsky.social reacts to disturbing footage of masked ICE agents violently beating the father of U.S. Marines

The callousness of messing with Social Security can't be overstated. There are millions of Americans who need their SS checks for medicine to keep them alive, rent money to keep them from living on the streets, etc. Such a breakdown was unnecessary and cruel.

Wow so you’re telling me everyone who cheered on the Iraq war is on board with this now too? And so are the people who opposed the Iran nuclear deal and killed it? You’re kidding.

Shouldn’t the NY Times headline note that this new policy breaks the law?

Medicare and Social Security go-broke dates moved up due to higher costs? If only there was some way to raise more revenues… 🤔🤷‍♂️🤦‍♂️

Only in America can a Black man highlight why Americans should not use Germany as the standard of evil but instead use American chattel slavery and all the rest.. And have a white person comment like the below.. lol. Amazing

the list of Cuomo endorsers is actually a great way to identify people who need to be driven out of the Democratic Party as soon as possible

With all these Feds in masks, MAGA has to be concerned. Remember during Covid they all thought it was unhealthy and you rebreathe diseases! Make Agents Healthy Again!
