"The picture of the world's richest man killing the world's poorest children is not a pretty one.” - Bill Gates Never buy a Tesla.

How Schumer is mobilizing an army of CEOs, unions and governors in red states to block GOP rollbacks of clean-energy tax credits 👇

When White Wingers ask you about the “illegal LA riots” just tell them the government faked them just like the moon landing. It will break their almond-sized brains.

Idk man but when the administration that tried to reject humanitarian aid for Los Angeles when it was burning tries to justify their illegal military occupation by saying they aren’t going to let LA burn it kinda sounds like bullshit

djt wants to pull out of this deal, too. Is it just because Biden was involved or because he wants to turn the entire southern hemisphere over to China? www.bbc.com/news/article...

Why wasn't the "roofing boss" arrested?

Why is ICE arresting employees but not employers? DOJ policy is to charge the most culpable people. The employers would seem to qualify.

Right now there are more U.S. troops deployed to Los Angeles than there are to Syria and Iraq combined.

Here’s a video of Stephen Miller in high school screaming that he’s “sick and tired of being told to pick up my trash, when we have plenty of janitors who are paid to do it for us.” This is the sociopath shaping our immigration policy and so much more

America has never been broke. It’s just violently anti-poor. Troops in LA cost $134M — the price of 44 million school lunches. But sure, let’s keep pretending the issue is lazy parents and not a government that eats kids for breakfast.

Remember: Almost all of us are the descendants of immigrants who fled persecution, or were brought to America under duress, or sought better lives for themselves and their descendants. Politicians who stoke fear and hatred over immigration want you to forget this. Do not.

Can't help but to believe that they are trying to cause a riot so they have an excuse to escalate their violence.

Every major Dem politician needs to realize that, in this environment, they can schedule a "speech to the nation," like Newsom did, and get tons of media coverage. Just do it.

He stood in front of our troops today and gave a mean spirited, partisan speech. He stood in front of our troops today and attacked Americans by name. He stood in front of our troops today and goaded them into booing their fellow Americans. Never become desensitized to this.

El Taco Gordo failed at bringing peace to Ukraine so he’s begun a war against Los Angeles. #SlavaUkraine #SlavaLosAngeles

Is there really that much oil under Los Angeles that the U.S. military is invading to give the citizens “democracy and freedom?”

Not one Missouri GOP lawmaker who uses the quip "taxation is theft" has ever returned his taxpayer-funded pay...

I like this Gavin more than podcast Gavin.

Marines, the time has come for you to make a decision.

It’s not a surprise that the man who purposely incited a violent attempt to overthrow an American election would now purposely incite violence on the streets of Los Angeles as a justification for military force against American citizens. Not a surprise at all.

Today Speaker, Mike Johnson called for vigilante violence against California Governor Gavin Newsom.

CNN’s Jason Carroll was zip-tied and escorted away—for reporting the news. But they claimed he wasn’t under arrest? Why are they shooting rubber bullets at and silencing journalists? We still have a First Amendment.

“The whole world is watching.” — U.S. Navy Veteran Trump is sending Troops into American streets not to protect people—but to provoke a crisis he can stomp out for show. This isn’t strength. It’s authoritarianism in real time.

Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is ousting all members of a key CDC vaccination advisory committee and replacing them with his own picks. The move appears to contradict a pledge he made during his confirmation process.

EXCLUSIVE: ActBlue is firing back at a House GOP investigation into its workings. The Dem online fundraising platform says the probe appears to be an unconstitutional abuse of power to help the White House.

BREAKING: Federal agents in plain clothes and unmarked cars tried to snatch 1st graders from LA elementary schools—told staff they had “parental consent.” They lied. When pressed, they HID THEIR IDS. DHS admits they sent them. This wasn’t a welfare check. It was a test run for a police state.

We see what they’re doing. They’re baiting us, trying to provoke violence to justify a crackdown. Don’t give them the footage they want. Every broken window becomes propaganda in their hands. Stay sharp. Stay united. We’re here to fight for justice, not feed their narrative.

Gosh, what if Congress tried to wield its power of checks and balances, advise and consent, limiting tyranny?

why is the president the only person testing the limits of his power? everyone should see what they can get away with. what if zookeepers gave helicopters to gorillas? nobody has tried this

I'm grateful that if I post that Stephen Miller is a hateful dickbag on social media, no one can fire me from MSW Media because I own it. I might not be your cup of tea, but thanks to all who support independent media 💙🙏

Hopefully when Pete Hegseth orders U.S. troops to shoot U.S. citizens, the reporter he adds on Signal will be kind enough to warn us immediately rather than wait 2 years for the release of his book.

I’m a Veteran who used to prosecute terrorists for a living. Now I’m running for Congress in North Carolina. I’m fed up with the GOP’s attacks on Medicaid & the VA. And my opponent, Congressman Chuck Edwards, ignores his duty but bends over backwards to please his big donors. youtu.be/28uGJAIuLr4

THERE WAS LESS TROUBLE IN L.A. SUNDAY, THAN THE LAST TIME THE LAKERS WON THE TITLE. 76 people arrested then. 42 on Sunday TRUMP'S BLANK CHECK: Newsom sues because memo "lets" Trump use military ANYWHERE even if there's been no violence Get the new Tuesday Countdown podcast: tinyurl.com/4886dx4p

Worse yet, with a United State Congress dominated by MAGAts who go along with djt's tyranny.

Trump has a new plan to undermine judges, and it’s called “court-baiting.” The strategy forces judges to take potentially unpopular decisions that are necessary to protect constitutional principles, then attack them for those decisions. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Here is a look at the "riots" in LA..... "Who's got the power? People Power." #FreedomToDissent

For decades the NRA and other gun nuts told us that their guns were to protect us all from a tyrannical government. So a tyrannical government is here, they are all sitting on their asses, and the people who want gun control have taken to the streets to defy the tyrannical government instead.

this is good

Even more pertinent today

🔥🙌 You should definitely watch this, if you haven't already 🙌🔥

Thank you for your service both times.

(cont.) This is a President who failed to call up the National Guard when it was actually needed -- on January 6th -- and then pardoned the participants as one of his first acts as president. They want a spectacle. They want the violence. (cont.)

Liza is one of the experts on these issues. Read the whole thread.

🚨🚨🚨 I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget what the 34x convicted felon & adjudicated rapist Trump did 🚨🚨🚨

Independent journalism is when you can write what Terry Moran wrote without getting in trouble. Corporate journalism is when you can’t. It’s why many left the latter for the former. I understand the rationale behind corp journalism rules, I’m just glad they don’t apply to me

@thehill.com didn’t age well, did it?
