I think there's a point to make here.

“The best way to honor our parents' memory is to do something, whether big or small, to make our community just a little better for someone else." Beautiful statement from Sophie and Colin Hortman.

Walz: "This cannot be the norm. It cannot be the way that we deal with our political differences. Now is the time for us to recommit to the core values of this country ... Talk to a neighbor rather than arguing. Debate an issue. Shake hands. Find common ground. This is who Melissa Hortman was."

MAGA, You continue to tell us you are not racists. So, please tell us ONE thing he has done for you to make your life better. -Just ONE thing. Because all we see he does for you is continue to fuel your racism. That’s it. #MAGA

Netanyahu is a war criminal.

“ICE” as snatching people from churches now. Never forget they said this👇🏾 MAN AT CHURCH: “We don’t want this in our property.” ICE: “The whole country is our property.” No IDs shown, non-government out of state plates, basic tactical vests that just say police. Who are these men?

In a statement, Frost notes an important detail to Alex Padilla, a sitting U.S. senator, being assaulted by federal agents today: “They did it in broad daylight. Imagine what they're doing behind closed doors to migrant men, women, and children. “This isn’t America. This is fascism.”

It’s not illegal for a United States Senator to go to a public press conference and ask questions about your constituents safety. It's our job.

Stand up and say no. No Kings

Great question!!

Key fact: Undocumented immigrants paid $96.7 billion in federal, state, and local taxes in 2022. Most of that amount, $59.4 billion, was paid to the federal government. That's more than Apple, Amazon and Alphabet. Combined.

Yeah my job is pretty cool. My uniform is a tactical vest that’s two sizes too small and a gaiter I bought in a gas station. They send me to sneak into schools to kidnap little kids because people got mad about having to press 1 for English. The president had to warn everyone to stop spitting on me.

Appropriately dark representation of what’s happening to our nation. TW: police ultimately fire tear gas grenades at the woman waving the American Flag. This is happening in and around LA. God save us all. 🇺🇸 #ICE #LosAngeles #SoCal #DHS

Ultimately, the Russo-Ukrainan war is about not throwing away democracy's victory over Nazism in the Second World War. The war is an existential threat to Europe, the United States and the free democratic world. Those who still do not support Ukraine 100% have not understood the historical context.

Baiting starving people with food then gunning them down. This is genocide.

there is no reputable science showing a competitive advantage by transgenderwomen. Transgender girls and young women have been competing for years now and they aren’t overrunning the podium or taking all the roster spots. They don’t pose an existential threat to cisgender women or women’s sports.”

My take on the consequences of the media's "original sin." member.democracydocket.com/the-medias-o...

This guy is like one of 4 Americans who actually went and got their REAL ID and immediately they said it was a fake. Just so everyone knows when they toss your ass in a truck it won't matter what passport or identification you have they'll throw it in the street and you're gone

“We take vaccines so for granted in the United States” ...“Women in the developing world know the power of [vaccines]. They will walk 10 kilometers in the heat with their child and line up to get a vaccine because they have seen death.” Melinda Gates

Frost: Tonight the people stealing are not folks with tattoos and hoodies but people wearing suits and ties and congressional pins sitting in the capitol now, not in some alley wrapped in darkness but the United States congress wrapped in the flag. It is disgusting and we will never forget this.

It’s plain for all to see.

SPRINGSTEEN, on tour in the UK: “.. "In my home, the America I love, the America I’ve written about, that has been a beacon of hope and liberty for 250 years is currently in the hands of a corrupt, incompetent, and treasonous administration." @variety.com variety.com/2025/music/n...

I will never forget that the week Qatar decided to bribe the president of the United States with a plane, CNN decided to focus on the age and health of an ex-president. Shame.

We lost our Republic on November 5th. If you can’t or won’t see that, and you won’t fight this fascism, we’re not getting back. That isn’t hyperbole, it’s acknowledging reality.

Article I, Section 9, Clause 8: “no Person holding any Office of Profit or Trust under them, shall, without the Consent of the Congress, accept of any present, Emolument, Office, or Title, of any kind whatever, from any King, Prince, or foreign State.”

"The President is selling access and influence to the highest bidder. Qatar isn't giving a $400 million jet out of the goodness of their hearts – they expect something in return. That's how transactional relationships work, and nobody understands transactional relationships better than Trump."

The president has covered the Oval Office in gold, is planning a massive military parade for his birthday, and is now accepting $400,000,000 luxury planes from foreign powers as personal presents. What the fuck are we doing here?

It's shit like this why I still keep my Xitter account.

I am positive that the folks who follow me already know this, but if you see a person being kidnapped off the street, put your body in the way. Record it and get in the way.

ICE is the Gestapo. Full stop.

Sometimes I just stop, shake my head, and think how ridiculous it is watching my country be destroyed by a demented old man just because some white people are afraid of the future.
