There’s a growing problem you’re not supposed to question: masked agents detaining migrants. Not in war zones...here...on U.S. soil. When power hides its face...it stops being accountable. When you can’t ID authority...you can’t challenge it. 1/5 🧵

I can’t speak for every city, but here in LA, ICE bounty hunters aren’t going after gang members. They’re hunting the vulnerable: gardeners, street vendors, day laborers. Easy money, no risk. Folks need to stop pretending this is about crime. @jacobsoboroff.bsky.social—thank you for your words.

I remember when our Military wasn't run by a disgraced Fox host and a convicted felon who is beholden to Russia. It was 6 months ago.

Idk who needs to hear this but red state folks are already cannon fodder. While rural people make up less than 25% of the general population, we make up almost 45% of military recruits. Also, over 40% of Missourians voted for Kamala. This video sucks on a lot of levels.

This is the kind of excessive force case DOJ routinely prosecutes. They should open an investigation here, based on the misconduct not the victims status.

When Iranian terrorists inevitably strike us in retaliation, remember that the damage, injury, and death will be securely in the hands of Donald Trump, Pete Hegseth, and this Administration.

I organize rural Dems. I raise money to fund rural Dem nominees. I’m doing the work. My neighbors are doing the work. If you’re not in the ring getting your ass kicked with me, I’m not listening to your opinion or criticism.

I keep thinking about our armed service members who are now in a war, led by a Commander-in-Chief who will consider them “losers and suckers” should they become injured or, God forbid, lose their lives in the time ahead. The rest of us good Americans thank you for your service. Godspeed.

One of the major reasons the Bush Administration and neocons were able to lead US into the disastrous War on Terror and lie to the public was due to journalists and commentators who parroted the propaganda and beat the war drums.

Both things cannot be true. Trump’s bragging about “complete success” while Iran claims it evacuated its nuclear sites, moved the materials, and kept the scientists working. Iran concluded they would be bombed back in March. If this is a win, what does failure look like?

If you were too young in 2003 here is what Bush told the American people: 1) The Iraq War won’t cost a lot of money 3) We won’t need a lot of troops 4) We’ll bring peace and freedom to Iraq 5) We’ll find WMDs 6) We’ll be welcomed as liberators 7) It will be easy 8) It won’t take long All lies.

We should all be saluting the Senate Parliamentarian who is defending the rules vs. lawless, rapacious Senate R's. Knocking out a host of reprehensible policy items that do not comply with reconcilliation rules. It is not an easy task. This is what it means to take responsibility for our democracy.

We've bombed Iran. And dismantled our joint terrorism task force. And sent a third of the FBI to help ICE. And gutted the National Security Council. And a drunk guy is in charge at the pentagon. And our intelligence allies probably won't share intel with us. Because people couldn't vote for a woman.
