"These people make me wish I believed in hell" is a thought I'm having way too often the last several years.

A system already exists to over-confidently state incorrect facts to women, thanks, we don’t need another one

If someone throws a can of soup at a riot cop who's attacking them we have three months of discourse about non-violence meanwhile the Right has been carrying out assassinations for my entire life and there's never any of that shit directed towards them Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

I still can't get past the idea that people in America are now supposed to accept that this is a valid form of law enforcement and just assume it's fine when random dudes in groups with face-coverings, no ID, no warrant, & no uniform grab people off the street and force them into unmarked vehicles

Having a bit of a hard time with the concept that if a guy in a police uniform who has a police vehicle shows up I should lock the doors and call 911, but if a guy in a ski mask with an hGH gut appears to be kidnapping my neighbor, I shouldn’t ask who he is if I don’t want federal charges.

When Black people told you that it is a normal occurrence for police to lie about protest and assaulting officers now you see ... the test run for the justification of authoritarianism always begins in communities of color

Mr. Antiwar President has us inches away from a Civil War at home and a nuclear war abroad in defense of an ally that is starting random hot regional wars to detract from its ongoing genocide. I’m sure all of this will just naturally cool off.

In 2016 MN Police killed a Black man named Philando Castile despite him disclosing he had a legal firearm. Yesterday MN Police released a white woman named Jenny Boelter despite her car full of cash, firearms, & passports hours after her husband mass murdered people & was on the run from police.

If you are too young to remember the Iraq War, you'll hear "no one protested" and "no one knew they were lying." Millions of people knew they were lying and protested. The press not only did not want a record of mass dissent; they did not want a record of mass knowledge of lies.

Spray paint a Tesla: domestic terrorism Targeted political assassination spree: not terrorism

The big red line was the 2008 financial crisis, when it became clear no rich person was going to be punished for anything, and then two years later Citizens United was overturned and politicians became dramatically more financially incentivized to never punish rich people for anything.

We're gonna need an active communist party if only to restore context to our political discourse, I can't listen to republicans calling chuck schumer radical left anymore

“A deranged maniac impersonated a police officer and killed lawmakers but if you’re an immigrant be sure you immediately comply with plain clothes people who won’t identify themselves telling you to get in a van”, what a fuckin country

"The assassin was masquerading as a cop" If they don't know his identity, how are they sure he isn't a cop? Sincere question.

this is so damning and absolutely no one in power in the Democratic party will do shit about it

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.

The third Vice President shot one of the guys who signed the Constitution...

Banks are aiming to issue cryptocurrency. Lawmakers just put a line in the GENIUS Act saying when a bank issuing crypto goes bankrupt, crypto investors get paid before regular depositors. In other words: your savings account becomes crypto’s bailout fund. www.levernews.com/cryptos-new-...

Remember when this pic of Elián González was a national scandal instead of a daily occurrence?
