Absolutely

15 years of Citizens United have shown us that money corrupts politics. We are going to have to take back our democracy from the forces of greed! #StopTheOligarchy

The possibility of mass deportations has terrified the areaā€™s undocumented immigrants, prompting many to skip work, keep their kids out of school and stay hidden. Their trepidation deepened when the Trump administration announced it would permit agents to make arrests at schools and churches.

Gotta love the British press.

Iā€™ll take 1 Mexican firefighter over a thousand useless MAGA white men any day of the week. How about you?

As a born and raised L.A. resident Iā€™m incredibly thankful for Canada and Mexico. No politics. No bullshit. Just humans helping humans.

Exactly

Michelleā€™s got the right idea: no one should attend that farce on the 20th. Letā€™s not dress it up in pretty ritual and pretend itā€™s anything other than what it is, the coronation of a hateful ignoramus hellbent on petty revenge and intent on dismantling our precious democracy bolt by bolt.

If Russia can invite a foreign nation (N Korea) to kick Ukraine off its territory, why canā€™t Ukraine invite foreign nation to help kick out Russia?

Regardless of your politics, Rep Mike Turner was among the best Intel committee chairmen. The fact that he was fired from Mar-A-Lago proves one thing: there is no oversight, just a rubber stamp congress

Joe Biden is right. There is an oligarchy forming in America

He will be missed ā¤ļø

Break it down....

Donald Trump isn't in the White House yet and he's already making sure that America is last.

On this date, December 1, 1955, Rosa Parks began a movement for Civil Rights in Montgomery, Alabama. In what ways can we follow her lead in bringing change for Justice and peace in the world?

Libraries are absolutely the best places on earth.

The thing about calling this place an ā€œecho chamberā€ is that it assumes that thereā€™s some value in being repeatedly insulted by a bunch of nitwits violently opposed to critical thinking, not to mention the bots. There isnā€™t.

It feels nice to not have to scroll quickly past all the fake blue checks pooping at the top of all my comments. Iā€™m here to stay.

We march on, connecting and protecting democracy.

Fun fact: thereā€™s never been a Democratic director of the FBI in its entire history.

I always choose peaceful resistance whenever possible, but as we lurch toward totalitarianism our model in the end needs to be those in the Warsaw Ghetto who so valiantly fought back, because the brutality thatā€™s coming is most assuredly a feature, not a bug.

He won't make it past the Senate.

Heartbreaking šŸ’”

Iā€™m pretty sure this is not legal. Congressmen canā€™t trade and make money on their job. Ethics maybe having to take a look

All I want for Christmas is for Twitter to keep bleeding away millions of users every day to Bluesky until Twitter is nothing more than a bigger, emptier, Truth Social shithole. Manifest THAT. šŸ™šŸŽ

JUST IN: President-elect Donald Trump has vowed to impose massive hikes on goods from China, Mexico and Canada on his first day in office.

Let's fight like hell to keep this place a safe place.
