Primary them is the only solution at this point.

prudencepeabody.bsky.social•32 days ago

What I don't understand is why they had to amend it to include violent crime. This was never about her

lvnvrcd.bsky.social•32 days ago

lvsmith53.bsky.social•32 days ago

Primary them. It's time to put some fear into those that help the repubs.

Let’s be honest - shame on most Democrats for all of this happening when it could’ve been stopped

libbong.bsky.social•32 days ago

18 million who didn’t come out to vote when it was needed

ogjojo.bsky.social•32 days ago

Shocked at Warnock. None of these morons read the memo about it being too late for bipartisanship. Don't negotiate with traitors!

Ffs. I’m done for tonight

melissahill.bsky.social•32 days ago

Both senators from Michigan— shameful. Carl Levin is rolling over in his grave.

grandmabarbara.bsky.social•32 days ago

Foolish, foolish people.

crotchety80s.bsky.social•32 days ago

Gallegos voting for this. I swear it seems like folks ran as democrats but they’re Republican ops

Stupid bill

sockpuppetpundit.bsky.social•32 days ago

No one would know Laken Riley’s name if her boyfriend had killed her.

purpldragn.bsky.social•32 days ago

Presuming her boyfriend was white 🤷

sockpuppetpundit.bsky.social•32 days ago

Misogyny is not racist.

purpldragn.bsky.social•32 days ago

!00%. But what catches fire in the news and current events discussions often is.

greengoblin1.bsky.social•32 days ago

And still can't pass a violence against women act or prevent domestic abusers from owning firearms.

mslynnemiller.bsky.social•32 days ago

It’s maddening that DEMs were part of the reason it passed. I’m in the… WTF zone! 🤯

rigbysplace.bsky.social•32 days ago

Is there a list of who voted for it?

ogjojo.bsky.social•32 days ago

I just posted it. See above.

dariusaudubon.bsky.social•32 days ago

House list? I think my D Congresswoman just lost our monthly contribution but her roll call vote not posted yet.

lakesvet.bsky.social•32 days ago

Primary them all.

Yeah I’m not clicking on any Washington post links anymore… F Bezos

Wait, so now that Ramaswamy is an undocumented immigrant, can we just accuse him of petty theft, and get him deported?

purpldragn.bsky.social•32 days ago

So, to honor Laken's heinous murder, the US will now crack down on undocumented pickpockets?

I wonder how the family describes this commemoration to others.

purpldragn.bsky.social•32 days ago

... undocumented, alleged pickpockets

brewjew308.bsky.social•32 days ago

I'm still waiting on anyone to answer why the American population should continue respecting any laws when our "leadership" expressly doesn't.
Please give me the "high road/don't become them" refrain, and make sure to detail how that's working out so far.

paradigm317.bsky.social•32 days ago

Wait a little while

cynthiakrueger.bsky.social•32 days ago

A bill in search of a problem. Criminals, once caught, can be tried and convicted regardless of their immigration status.

justannief.bsky.social•32 days ago

🤬

seachange12.bsky.social•32 days ago

The DINOs should all be primaried.

donnasamoyloff.bsky.social•32 days ago

So now people in the US are guilty until proven innocent.

epistemicrisis.bsky.social•32 days ago

Shame on them all for their anticipatory obedience.

texcanvamp.bsky.social•32 days ago

Do we have the list of Democrat that did? We need to make phone calls.

hedgelord2.bsky.social•32 days ago

Fuck all of them, but fuck Fetterman most of all.

geekyoldman.bsky.social•32 days ago

I believe the key words here are “accused of” not “convicted of”. Due process is in the Bill of Rights.

Thank you Democrats for being the spineless weenies that somehow let Trump as an insurrectionist be President again.

Try to read the Constitution at least once, please.

kilohanakona.bsky.social•32 days ago

Dems keep falling for these stupid ass imaginary boogeymen bills and instead of educating the public on the stupidity of them, they get played into endless 'cover your ass' votes.

auntieranty.bsky.social•32 days ago

Unfuckingbelievable.

deerwatcher.bsky.social•32 days ago

at this point, Why would I care?..
defending .00000002% of the noisiest lil'bitches on the Planet,
has now destroyed this Country..and I don't care if they f*ck lil'goats every night..on Broadway!..personally.
Shut the Fuck uP, assholes!!!

..oh wait,..too late..we ALL Lose!
(sigh)

schnufferpuss.bsky.social•32 days ago

They had no choice honestly. Lose lose. The position we are habitually in.

angrygenxdad.bsky.social•32 days ago

I agree.

cubedreamer.bsky.social•32 days ago

Heh. I wonder who has something to hide?

brucewlinton.bsky.social•31 days ago

FEMA was created because the states need help. Now they are gone and the states all need to fix things themselves? Another Dumbster POS idea.

rlights25.bsky.social•32 days ago

Which ones?

albca.bsky.social•32 days ago

His name is Don, not bill.

chem-mom-of-4.bsky.social•32 days ago

By percentage…

I am unsubscribing from all their donation appeals. When they politely request my reason for this unsubscribe I enter “Laken Riley Bill.” Shame on them!

lolo5439693.bsky.social•32 days ago

Disgusted by every single one of them.

mightymorva.bsky.social•32 days ago

Ashamed that my senator, @markwarner.bsky.social voted for this BS. Deeply disturbed. I emailed his office and hope my fellow Virginians also let him have it.

realitycheck.bsky.social•32 days ago

"huge concern because we’re talking about the mandatory imprisonment based on an accusation without a person even being charged, let alone being convicted, and this applies to kids," a senator said. "It’s a sweeping assault on core principles, and it doesn’t even have a judicial review component."

realitycheck.bsky.social•32 days ago

ICE needs another 110,000 beds and $27 billion. Huge opportunity for the private prison companies!
