Instead of working tirelessly to take away our Medicare Medicaid and Social Security, shouldn’t Congress be investigating why the President gave a ā€œbig time drug addictā€ the keys to the US government?

Fuck ICE. Love you, Los Angeles.

This ā¬‡ļø

Let’s be clear: ICE injured and detained the president of SEIU California for peacefully observing. ICE picked the wrong side. The wrong state. The wrong person. and the wrong union. David Huerta stood up. And now 750,000 SEIU workers are standing up behind him. seiuca.org/press-releas...

EVERYBODY WATCH. ICE IS OUT OF CONTROL. Video of SEIU California’s President David Huerta getting assaulted & arrested during an ICE raid in the warehouse district of Downtown Los Angeles today. He’s an LA native, American citizen and labor leader. Don’t turn away.

ICE raids hit across Los Angeles today—and locals are rising up. This is what resistance looks like. āœŠšŸ¾ This was about an hour ago…

By the way a military parade when we’re not celebrating a war victory is something a dude who never served would do.

Eventually, when all is said and done, we will realize that the United States owes Kamala Harris a presidency.

If you think saying we worked with Stalin to defeat Hitler is good justification for welcoming Elon into the Democratic Party then you were asleep or not born for the Cold War that lasted from 1945 until 1991 including multiple hot wars. Stop simping for people who are rotten but also hate Trump.

You know what to do!

Chris Hayes on the growing prevalence of ā€œsecret policeā€ in the Trump-Stephen Miller era of ICE raids: ā€œThey’re usually masked—hiding their faces—and either wearing plain clothes or irregular uniforms. They won't give their names or say what agency they're with.ā€Ā  youtube.com/watch?v=5il6...

Reading is fundamental!

And this is why having American aviation communications rely on Starlink was always a terrifying idea

WE NEED TO SUPPORT AND ENCOURAGE BOTH SIDES HERE

I'm just glad one of these men has the nuclear codes and the other has all our personal data.

Stephen Miller canceled on Kudlow last minute for an ā€œemergency meetingā€ in the oval office Wonder what they could be discussing! šŸ¤·šŸ»ā€ā™‚ļø

Is this why we’ve been seeing so many masked, unidentified ICE agents? As of May 29, 2025, ICE has 635 active agreements in 40 states—deputizing local cops to act as ICE. DEMS: Hold hearings. Sanctioned or not, we need answers. ā˜Žļø Call your Senators and Reps now: (202) 224-3121

Law enforcement officers should never cover their faces when making arrests or conceal their identities (unless they are working undercover). They work for us. We have a right to know who they are. These face coverings are frightening & unAmerican, as though they're ashamed of what they're doing.

If you want to defeat radical dishonesty and LIES, it’s going to take radical honesty and TRUTH. And many of you can’t handle the truth. Here, let me prove it to you with one word that has been banished from Congress and corporate media: Genocide.

We will not win the battle for democracy if those in the pro-democracy movement prize caution over taking risks. We cannot permit ourselves to be deterred by the defeats and public criticism that are inevitable along the long path of restoring democracy. Now is the time for fearless leadership.

He is afraid to travel to our allies, but had no problem showing up when summoned to the ME!

While Trump is slashing Medicare, garnishing wages for student loans, and denying FEMA aid to states that voted for him… He’s also: • Charging $1M to join Mar-a-Lago • Hosting $1M-a-plate crypto dinners • Pocketing $394M from his meme coin • Turning his golf clubs into luxury pay-to-play scams

America cannot long remain free, nor first among nations, if it becomes the kind of place where universities are dismantled because they don't align politically with the current head of the government.

Things are truly bad when I agree with David Brooks.

But please continue to speculate about Joe Biden’s health.

@warren.senate.gov: "They're fighting over how many children should go hungry so that Mark Zuckerberg can buy another Hawaiian island."

I’m not a farmer, a teacher, an immigrant, not LGBTQ, not on government assistance. But I still had the good sense to vote in my own interest and w/the most vulnerable in mind. Get it? This dude calls it: Let folks who voted for Trump give up their benefits & bailouts— leave the rest of us alone!

While I appreciate the "lock him up" and "impeach him" sentiments (and I'm with you), if Mueller, Garland, and impeachment taught us anything, its that 1) SCOTUS is corrupt and 2) We have to do this ourselves. As I've been saying for nearly 8 years: it's up to us. Always has been.

I don’t think we are… ā‰ļø asking enough questions ā‰ļø 🤨

While GOP elites plot brutal cuts to Medicare, Medicaid, and food aid in the dead of night, Rep Maxwell Frost was out in the storm with hundreds of Americans—raising hell. Not for headlines. For justice. He’s staying in the fight all day to stop this billionaire giveaway✊ #StopTheBillionaireBuyout

This truth hurts.

This head of Trump’s gestapo just told congress that habeas corpus is Trump’s right to detain you, not your right to challenge it. See where this is going?
