YOU CANT MAKE THIS SHIT UP: America begged Afghan interpreters to save our troops. Now ICE is arresting them after asylum hearings like they’re disposable. This man survived Taliban death squads, only to get fucked over in San Diego. We don’t protect allies—we hunt them.

I will never again see an ICE agent without assuming they're from Proud Boys or Oath Keepers, a pardoned Jan 6 rioter or a member of the KKK.

MUST WATCH: When a sitting Senator asks if a white nationalist troll is influencing DHS staffing and the response is “Your time is up”— You’re watching authoritarianism in plain fucking sight. Salute to Sen. Jacky Rosen for saying what needed to be said: “You’re either feckless or complicit.”

All my love to fellow gender dropouts, to the trans folks, to the queers, to the gender deviants. They can't legislate you or me out of existence because someone just like us is being born right now. And that will keep happening. And we will do everything we can to build the world they need.

BREAKING: The White House lashed out at the creators of this ad for "fear-mongering". It must have really struck a nerve. Maybe they don't like being outed as fascists. You know what to do: SPREAD THIS EVERYWHERE! #MAGAKidnappers

This is such a great point and isn’t made enough! We have a trans daughter but a mostly conservative extended family (and in-laws, to some degree), the exact people you’d expect would be awful on this issue. They have not been! I was prepared to do battle but we’ve been so happily surprised.

🚨🚨The White House is pissed off about this ad so you know what to do, share it everywhere! ICE is disappearing people just because of the color of their skin! No Warrant! No Due Process! This is not who we are as Americans! #MAGAKidnappers want an all white America, fuck that‼️

Given this administration’s actions in the Eric Adams case, it would seem to me that New Yorkers would want a mayor that’s not corruptible. I am not a New Yorker, but if I were, I would not rank Cuomo.

As doctors, we take an oath to put our patients first. When a woman comes to the ER, we don’t check her party affiliation. We provide the emergency care she needs to survive. That’s our duty. That’s the law. And I’ll keep fighting to protect it. #EMTALA

Following the horrific tragedy in Minnesota, Attorney General Kathy Jennings and I have urged the General Assembly to swiftly pass House Bills 152 & 153.

This should not be controversial or radical. People deserve to live, eat, heal, learn, and have housing, independent of our ability to earn profits for capitalists/investors.

Hard agree We shouldn't be referring to these people as "Federal agents" until we get proof that they actually are that While we're at it, we should stop saying people are being "arrested" when they are being kidnapped And stop saying "deported" if they're being extrajudicially rendered

It isn’t only the president’s disparaging remarks or rhetoric; it’s also the weaponization of the Capitol rioters, white supremacists, and now the National Guard to carry out political agendas.

Last year, Kroger's CEO raked in $15.4 million — 457x more than its typical employee. Kroger also announced $7.5 billion in stock buybacks. I don't want to hear that Kroger can't afford to treat its employees fairly. Solidarity to these workers.

Here’s the 3rd paragraph of Fox’s main story on the manhandling of Sen. Alex Padilla. It quotes the Trump regime as saying Padilla didn’t identify himself. Fox knows that’s a lie because they have video of him identifying himself. But they never call out the lie. Fox is fascist propaganda.

Please make sure you do the following as quickly as possible, especially if you are immunocompromised: 1. Get every vaccine you need 2. Buy some high-quality masks (KF94, KN95 or N95). These fools that Kennedy just appointed are going to cause the reemergence of vaccine-preventable disease.

X’s business model went from subscriptions to suing advertisers for antitrust violations for boycotting their platform. It’s worked on brands as varied as Verizon and Ralph Lauren. This is helped by the fact the FTC is investigating advertising watchdog groups over the boycotts.

Instead of using this money to fund, say, the National Weather Service right before hurricane season, they're using it to send Marines to Los Angeles. THIS is waste and abuse.
