You have no obligation to defend or explain the behavior of random street protesters. We have a lawless government that is flagrantly violating its legal, moral, even philosophical obligations to us. Everything else is secondary

Just a reminder that during Freddie Gray uprising in Baltimore its was revealed afterward that some of the “looting” was done by the cops on the gun trace task force

Would a civilized country limit health care and food assistance for the poor...

Foxx: This is the American Dream story they all claim to support. I’m a first-generation American, raised by a single mom in Section 8 housing. SNAP benefits—food stamps—put food on our table. Those social safety nets—they are not handouts, they are hand-ups.

My heart hurts today, and every day, about where we could have been. Fuck the entire Trumplandian Universe. We had our joy destroyed.

A new analysis estimates the Trump/GOP budget's rollback of clean energy tax credits will eliminate nearly 830,000 jobs by 2030 and raise energy prices by 50% by 2035.  Just another way the "big beautiful bill" will make the economy worse and your life more expensive.

Only the best!! Voldemorange loves his very special friends!! 😳

If ever a “pump & dump” scheme or insider trading scandal warranted investigation, this one would be it. www.coinspeaker.com/trump-gala-o...

Trump's Environmental Protection Agency administrator, Lee Zeldin, got a grilling in Congress after a smackdown in court that revealed his "fraud" allegations against recipients of a $20 billion grant program for greenhouse gas reductions were smoke and mirrors www.rawstory.com/lee-zeldin-2...

“After school shootings, many Republicans try to shift the public conversation away from gun violence and toward mental health programs that might make mass shootings less likely. Student mental health grants had bipartisan support. “Trump is cutting them anyway.” www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...

Walz: When did government get to tell you how many dolls your child has? Government just big enough to fit in your bedroom, your womb, and apparently now in your toy chest.

Liz Oyer, the Justice Department’s recently fired pardon attorney, says Trump's pardons have cost taxpayers $1 billion so far. www.tiktok.com/@lawyer.oyer...

Kamala Harris warned us of this. EXACTLY of this.

A Delaware judge finds the right-wing network aired false and defamatory statements about Dominion Voting Systems' role in the 2020 presidential election. A jury trial is slated for late April.

We found the government “waste, fraud, and abuse”.

Here we go again.

You may be fearing your 401k is no longer enough for you to retire. But with all the cuts to NIH and Medicare you also won't live as long. So the policies are integrated.

Tonight, Democrats forced a vote on a simple amendment. To remove new tariffs that are increasing the cost of groceries, gas and housing. Republicans rejected it.

The wages of the richest 1% have skyrocketed 182% since 1979.  Meanwhile, the wages of the bottom 90% have seen just 44% growth.  Trickle down economics was always a hoax.

Just watched the President's "Liberation Day" speech. Based on this, I can confirm many Americans will be liberated from: - Being able to afford groceries - Much of their retirement savings - Any hope of buying a home As for lower prices? Just the opposite.

i think a not-insignificant number of voters just assumed that every single undocumented immigrant was a fully face-tatted cholo-looking gangbanger with a murder charge back in his home country, and not like, ordinary, everyday people just like their neighbors. incredible lack of theory of mind

It’s still hard to believe the simple fact that this is all self-imposed. Everything that’s happening right now wasn’t the result of some foreign adversary destroying the country. We did this all to ourselves by electing the dumbest motherfucker to ever rule a nation.

Nate Cavanaugh is a 28 year old tech entrepreneur who has absolutely no background in peace-building or conflict resolution (the core purpose of USIP), yet he is being paid over $120,500 (which is what a federal worker with 13 years of relevant experience would be paid).

Thou shalt not have a devil as your leader, a men or a woman😇

I’m tired of winning.

Prisons and Military operations should never be privatized. There should never be profit motives attached to the restriction of guaranteed liberties.

That Kristi Noem video with the detainees is so upsetting and the fact any sizable fraction, let alone a majority, of our society would endorse it is evidence of a deep rot in our entire culture. Like until you answer what fuels the appetite for that kind of thing it will only get worse

ABC News: "An unthinkable breach of national security." CBS News: "An unthinkable breach of national security." MSNBC: "An unthinkable breach of national security." CNN: "An unthinkable breach of national security." Fox News: "We've all texted the wrong person before."

Donald Trump and Elon Musk are purportedly going to cost the United States more than *$500 billion* In lost revenue this year because of massive job cuts at the IRS But guaranteed, they will hide the figures and lie to the American people about it all

Trump's refusal to rehire veterans' healthcare providers despite court orders is a blatant disregard for the rule of law. The Constitution doesn't give him the power to ignore judicial decisions. social.demcast.com/s/YboIqIwZ
