“Alligator Alcatraz” will begin operations on Wednesday. This is your reminder that a prison without due process is a concentration camp.

I am not a perfect person, but at least I can wake up every day knowing I didn't vote for concentration camps and millions being stripped of health insurance and food assistance.

If our Christianity causes kids to go hungry, the sick to go without healthcare, the stranger to be unwelcome, and the needy to be treated as “parasites,” all while billionaires get richer, we’ve profoundly misunderstood the most basic elements of Jesus’ teachings.

It's funny how some groups are all about obliterating the separation of church and state, hanging the ten commandments in schools, using faith to regulate women and their bodies, legislate people's love and genders...but they seem to have selective amnesia when it comes to these verses.

Trump voters: you don't get a pass by saying "well I don't agree with EVERYTHING he's doing" if you won't be LOUDLY against him when what he's doing is literally destroying our country and the people in it.

Sierra Matthews lives in a small Missouri town, works in the public school system, raises two young sons, and has no health insurance. She falls below the poverty line. Medicaid isn’t a handout. It’s her lifeline. Take it away, there is no fallback! #MedicaidSavesOurLives

So government bailouts are only socialist when it's for poor people. But for "rich new yorkers" getting government bailouts suddenly the rest of us do need to be on the hook to bail them out for their decisions? I remember some banks taking government bailouts from tax payers.

I’m choked up seeing this—it’s shameful. Iranian refugees got snatched by “immigration agents” dressed like bounty hunters in West LA’s Sawtelle neighborhood. We’re really about to send them back to a country we just bombed? A regime known for jailing, torturing, and killing its own people?

An Israeli strike hit a street in central Gaza on Thursday where witnesses said a crowd of people were getting bags of flour from a Palestinian police unit that had confiscated the goods from gangs looting aid convoys, AP reports.

Every single word they say is PROPAGANDA. See it. Understand it. Label it. Call it out. They don’t & won’t value truth. They CREATE a false reality to confuse & wear us down. These aren’t mistakes they’re making. This isn’t “stupidity”. It’s lies & MANIPULATION & it is HIGHLY effective.

An addled president is shredding the Constitution to usher in white nationalism and fascism while destroying the economy and our health care, so if you’re going to write an alarmist op-ed because a mayoral candidate might open five (5) city-run grocery stores, you can kindly get bent.

A question I have for christian nationalists: once you've successfully bound your religion to the government, what happens when the government makes decisions about how you can practice your faith that you don't agree with once you've demolished that wall between government and church?

Something I've noticed about Trump voters who are realizing how badly they fucked up: they won't say that. Instead, they just get quiet, remove their trump flags, stop ranting on social media. They'll stick their heads in the sand & cross their fingers instead of taking accountability & apologizing.

Tennessee passed a law threatening felony charges against local elected officials who vote in favor of policies supporting immigrant communities. This is an attack on the legislative process and democracy itself — @aclutn.bsky.social will see the state in court.

The US economy contracted in the beginning of the year at a much faster pace than previously reported, after new data factored in much weaker consumer spending — due in large part to Trump’s tariffs. #TrumpTariffs

the thing about echo chambers is they are actually extremely effective political organizing chambers that’s why they get mad about the left having its own while the right has had them for decades

Something I've noticed about church circles (I'm surrounded by primarily southern Baptist in my area), that there has been a lot of blame on covid for breaking down the church and adding to sharp declines in membership in attendance. 🧵/

How anyone can still try to use the argument "that would never happen! He wouldn't do that, it's illegal!" is also beyond me. I need them all to realize how much this horrible human does not give a fuck about following the law. He was a criminal already when you elected him!
