What were they actually gonna do here? Ask every brown-enough person for their papers to go to the fucking baseball game? This is the most slam-dunk, anti-American thing I can think of. You need a passport to go to a Major League Baseball game now? Malpractice not to make a huge deal out of this.

What drives me insane is that these are the exact same tactics used against abortion providers and activists, mostly coming from the same people, but because we’ve flipped the word from “abortion” to “trans” suddenly the elite pseudoliberals just want to write about how it’s understandable backlash

Seems at least worth considering that this “focus shift” to Iran is not an accident, but was in fact Bibi’s main goal (Reports are 140+ killed in Gaza in the last 24 hours, hundreds more injured, as they are desperate for food) www.bbc.com/news/article...

When Teddy Roosevelt was called disloyal for criticizing Wilson’s conduct of WWI, he said “to announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public.”

Now that we’ve seen the full Senate text, we can say for certain: either the House or the Senate version would be the largest transfer of wealth from the poor to the rich in a single law in history. Each have the largest Medicaid and largest SNAP cuts ever. And each give huge tax cuts to the rich.

I don't know if this needs to be said or not but "elected official assassinated in their home" is simply not a thing that happens in this country. 1825, 1889, 1893, 1973. Those are all the ones I can find, ever, before today.

The Minnesota assassinations, the attempted arson at Governor Shapiro's home, and the violent arrest of Senator Padilla are all straight out of the Jim Crow terrorism playbook. Same goes with cops aiming for journalists covering the ICE protests. None of these are new tactics, just a new iteration.

So this is after the Speaker of the House said the Governor of California should be tarred and feathered, slightly disagreeing with the President and his Border Czar who wanted to arrest him, two months after somebody tried to burn the Governor of Pennsylvania and his family alive in their home.

Yep. The very second you decide it’s okay to take rights away from trans people, you’ve decided that taking rights away from anyone is an okay thing to do. A precedent will be set - either human beings deserve human rights or they don’t. Only naive dipshits think they can pick and choose.

SHUT. IT. DOWN. A senator was dragged out of a press conference for standing up for his constituents and against fascism. Watch how your representatives and senators respond to their own colleague being treated like this. That'll show you how they'll react when it's you on the ground.

New from my investigators: Trump’s IRS nominee Billy Long appears to be implicated in court documents related to a major bribery scheme centered in his old Congressional district. The White House and FBI either didn’t bother looking into it, or they’re covering it up.
