There's a reason we keep catching predators in the party that opposes informing kids in a way that makes them safer.

Had a call at work where man was very clearly an Evangelical Christian, conservative leaning, but spoke about the fruits of the spirit and we talked about kindness. The sad thing is that there's a lot of people in the church who haven't missed that but still got it turned around we need them too

If you accept that non-citizens have no right to due process, you are accepting that citizens have no right to due process. All the government has to do is claim that you are not a citizen; without due process you have no chance to prove the contrary.

So a legal member of an internationally recognized group that has openly condemned the genocide in Palestine. You probably don't list every club you're a member of on your job applications, usually being a member of an internationally recognized peaceful organization isn't news.

Y'all. This is where the story of "we didn't know this was happening" will start to break down

This is the company of a genius?

#wheresyourline

Only takes 23 Senate Democrats to remove Chuck Schumer from leadership and replace him with someone willing to fight

This is someone "legally here" being deported for that freedom of speech conservatives keep saying they believe in. Where's your line?

SCOOP: Elon Musk has installed 10 of his DOGE operatives at the Social Security Administration. We got their names w/ @makenakelly.bsky.social www.wired.com/story/doge-o...

They are taking someone here legally to a secret prison for using free speech. The same people doing Nazi salutes are doing this. Where's your line?

If you need to get somewhere safe than do so, but do not give up resistance of literal white supremacist nationalists as long as you have a choice. People's lives are on the line. Make them water energy, make them split attention, make them work for conquering

This would require a spine.

This is what they mean by some preemptively obey

If your not boycotting this dump

No no guys give him the rushed job, he seems to want it so much

Through my entire life Democrats and Republicans have been held to different standards

Amen

There were already people in the government "reducing waste, fraud and abuse." Trump fired them and replaced them with one unelected asshole who's canceling programs he personally doesn't like and awarding himself government contracts

Trump on NATO: "If the United States was in trouble and we called them. We said, 'We got a problem, France.' Do you think they're gonna come and protect us? Hmm. They're supposed to. I'm not so sure." (Literally the only time NATO Article 5 was invoked was after 9/11 on behalf of the US.)

I know people who cheer for cutting social programs—not to save money, but because they believe some lives just aren’t worth saving. Social Darwinism with a eugenics twist isn’t rare. That warning bell rang before, but when cruelty gets the green light, it spreads fast.

One of the differences between Nazi Germany and Maga US is the sheer amount of space and wilderness in the US. If somebody who knew these areas such as laid off national park employees wanted to help persecuted people escape to safety that is doable.

"developed"

Reuters A U.S. board that reviews the firings of federal employees Wednesday ordered the U.S. Department of Agriculture to temporarily reinstate thousands of workers who lost their jobs as part of Trump's layoffs of the federal workforce.

Wow… @democrats.org somehow managed to lose @colbertlateshow.bsky.social.

Nationalism is such a hollow replacement for caring about the well-being of the people in your country. A nation that abandons its people and make no mistake, the United States has abandoned anyone who is not rich, is nothing to be proud of. Like what are you proud of with nationalism, war crimes?

TRUTH or fake ?! www.gregpalast.com/trump-lost-v...

"No Other Land," the Palestinian-Israeli made film showing the destruction of the occupied West Bank's Masafer Yatta by Israeli soldiers, just won the Oscar for Best Documentary. It can't get a distributor in the US. Which tells you everything about censorship in the US.

Trying to explain my politics without using words like socialism

Truth, served well.

There’s also to be frank no other path back to any sane idea normalcy. Empower another Democrat who can’t stomach confrontation and just wants to turn the page, and we’ll go on living without the rule of law, constantly menaced by authoritarians.
