Now here’s some energy we need right now! Especially since there’s a lot of dual membership going on with these groups. www.latintimes.com/boston-mayor...

The damage being done today will take decades to repair. And it’s not going to go anywhere with a centrist.

It’s so funny how the same centrists arguing Democrats should pivot away from identity issues are also incredibly weak on economic issues. Rahm is like, let’s stop talking about bathrooms and start talking about means tested tax credits.

ICE IS NOT "PROTECTING" ANYONE BUT NEEDLESSLY DESTROYING MILLIONS OF LIVES WITH THEIR FASCIST NAZI TACTICS. These ICE fascists DO NOT REPRESENT DEMOCRACY, LAW, FREEDOM. He whines of the poor ICE agents' families; yet, they're so proud of destroying, separating and impoverishing millions of families?

1. What I didn't see coming when I wrote below piece: Hearing from other white adults who also rode their Mamas' cotton sacks and also had early Black friends doing the same. One man told me he had a dear little Black friend in the fields--until suddenly the friend was forced to call him "Master."

COCO GAUFF WINS THE FRENCH OPEN 🏆 The American takes down Aryna Sabalenka 6-7, 6-2, 6-4 to claim her second women's Grand Slam singles title.

They are all sheep following their shepherd. Just doing as they’re told; reading the bill is not important, as though any of them would bother to read an 1100+ page document.

💥 @repdangoldman.bsky.social speaks out about his confrontation with “plain-clothes ICE agents” wearing masks. “You can’t require Columbia University to ban masks in order to get federal funding while you turn around and have federal government enforcement law enforcement agents wearing masks.”

I’m not going to bore everyone here with Harvard stories (I’m at my 25yr reunion). But: * “They” say it’s the most well attended reunion. * The level of “fuck Trump” here is off the charts. * Even the Republicans I knew in college are like “fuck Trump.”

They’re the American Gestapo.

Trump just fired a new show at Elon Musk. Hoping this war goes full scorched earth!

Awww you guys - the Acting Director of ICE is really upset that we keep accurately refering them the American Gestapo and calling out their kidnappings. Keep up the good work everyone!!!

ICE is detaining people in LA in a basement with no beds, no air, no light and not enough food and water. These are crimes.

With all these violations of the Constitution going on with these blitzkreig ICE raids and mass deportations, I wonder how the #LatinosForTrump crowd is feeling nowadays? 🤔

Pete Hesgeth — who wants to rename the Navy ship that honors Medgar Evers, a WWII veteran who landed on Omaha Beach — is using that same beach for a photo op in which he promises we will “never forget” the veterans there. What an unbelievable asshole.

www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025... Nazism on the rise, but it doesn’t matter to Patel. He should take a good look in the mirror. If he sees a white face, he’s deluding himself.

Imagine watching the last 40 years and thinking the Democratic Party’s problem is “the left.”

Remember: If unions didn’t matter, powerful corporations wouldn’t spend millions of dollars every year to stop workers from organizing. Keep up the fight.

"This has the potential to make Game of Thrones look like child’s play," writes @sashaabramsky.bsky.social. "And, quite frankly, I’m rooting for both of them to destroy the other." www.thenation.com/article/poli...

He probably didn’t care for the response he got, or didn’t listen to it.

Yang is looking to make himself relevant. Why didn’t he throw in Taylor Swift while he was at it? He’s a moron that should be ignored.

No surprise there. They’ve shown themselves to be incompetent in so many things - other than stealing data.

He doesn’t need receipts. He just needs to keep repeating his statement until they stuck - like the Orange one and Fox.

This interview is very interesting, because in the debate between people who say, "The problem in the state of Israel is Netanyahu, and we need to get rid of him" vs those who say, "The problem is much deeper; a new Prime Minister won't change it," Olmert seems to be trying to take a middle ground.

He’s trying to use SCOTUS for one-stop shopping, instead of going to Congress to do his dirty work.

Says the guy that changed his hair color, before crawling up Dear Leader’s ass.

Pam Blondie will never go against Dear Leader. It won’t matter if all members of Congress demand the release of the documents.

This should be shouted by every elected Dem & the media. It's so disgusting, just like his upcoming parade of vanity. I'll be out there with friends & signs against the despot.

For two weeks, the Trump administration has been holding immigrants IN A SHIPPING CONTAINER on a military base in Djibouti. The admin ignored a court order and gave these individuals zero due process. It's lawless and authoritarian.

the thing is that Michael is right, people wanna nitpick semantics but they are wrong. if you have use for the nazi once you think he might share his ill-gotten gains with you then there is a word for you, and that word is "nazi"

Democrats — don’t even think about taking money from Elon Musk. It’s blood money.

So Oz is now referring to people on Medicaid as not being worth anything: "Prove you matter". www.rawstory.com/prove-you-ma...
