Conserving our environment is an American value. From hikers to hunters we want to keep our public lands public! Thats why the unprecedented sell-off of millions of acres of public lands needs to be removed from the Senate Budget Bill. Nature is non partisan! 🇺🇸 Pass it on!

Just some creepy armed Mad Max guys trying to gain entry to Dodgers Stadium. ICE says it wasn’t them. DHS says they were Border Patrol. But honestly who the hell knows? They’ve given permission for any psycho to put on a ski mask, point a gun, grab people & throw them into an unmarked vehicle.

You know your country has screwed up priorities when it pretends it doesn't have the money to prevent LGBTQ teen suicides but it *does* have the funds to subsidize the wealthiest man in the world's engineering incompetence. www.cbsnews.com/news/video-s...

I will never again see an ICE agent without assuming they're from Proud Boys or Oath Keepers, a pardoned Jan 6 rioter or a member of the KKK.

🚨🚨The White House is pissed off about this ad so you know what to do, share it everywhere! ICE is disappearing people just because of the color of their skin! No Warrant! No Due Process! This is not who we are as Americans! #MAGAKidnappers want an all white America, fuck that‼️

The takeaway from the Tucker Carlson Ted Cruz interview is that the American public has been so badly cheated for so long by the people pretending to be the political media that when anyone asks a basic follow up that an 8th grade schoolpaper reporter would it feels like cutting edge journalism

Instead of sending expensive American jets to bomb a far away country, can’t we just fix our airports. I am sitting on another delayed flight. But hey there’s always money for war. What a joke.

New in PN: Judge rules that anti-woke is just racism “'I’ve never seen a record where racial discrimination was so palpable,' Judge Young fumed. 'I’ve sat on this bench now for 40 years. I’ve never seen government racial discrimination like this.' *More of this, please*"

Cruz didn’t just forget Iran’s population. He confessed to a war crime on national TV. The U.S. is bombing Iran right now. No authorization. No oversight. This is how empires operate when accountability is dead.

The same people demanding you present a photo ID to vote are perfectly fine with letting you be arrested, handcuffed & thrown into a van by armed men wearing plain clothes, face masks & presenting no identification of any sort.

LEOs need reasonable suspicion that a specific person committed a specific crime to detain them for investigation. They need probable cause of same to arrest them pending charges. When they take somebody into custody without either of these things, that’s called kidnapping, and it’s a felony.
