Marco Rubio just made the argument, bold faced, not a mistake an intentional statement, that at any time the US can revoke your visa and then you are instantly here illegally and they can arrest you, deport you, torture you, all without any due process. That means the United States is simply unsafe

I wish people hated fascism half as much as they hate feminism

Government abductions are unconstitutional. Denying anyone the right to due process in America is unconstitutional. If you’ve rationalized your silence or support for any of it because it’s happening to those you disagree with, give it a minute… They’ll get to you soon enough.

Dear Wisconsin, Please help defeat Elon Musk's million dollar bribery attempts to sway this election. Go vote for Susan Crawford for Wisconsin Supreme Court! 🙏💪

They are disappearing people off the streets They are disappearing people off the streets They are disappearing people off the streets They are disappearing people off the streets They are disappearing people off the streets

If you think what happened to Rumeysa Ozturk can't happen to you because you're a citizen and she's not, you are sorely mistaken. Ozturk was snatched off the street not for being a national security threat but for having a wrong opinion. If we don't put a stop to this, it's coming for all of us.

2022: "The Supreme Court would NEVER overturn Roe v. Wade!" 2025: "The administration would NEVER take away Social Security!"

This country is broken.

This is really the whole ball game right now, *particularly* among the institutions that make up civil society. (my parents definitely had this poster when I was growing up)

Tyrants view educated citizens as their greatest enemy. Slaveholders stopped the enslaved from learning to read. Nazis burned books. Dictators censor media. That’s why Trump is attacking education, science, museums, and the arts – to prevent us from learning. It's Fascism 101.

This is the story that Karoline Leavitt said probably wasn’t accurate when it was first reported by Reuters because she said they aren’t reliable.

"True individual freedom cannot exist without economic security and independence. People who are hungry and out of a job are the stuff of which dictatorships are made.” —FDR, 1944

Schoolchildren are routinely slaughtered by AR-15s. Hundreds die. [*crickets* "Thoughts and prayers" *crickets*] A couple unoccupied cars are set on fire. No one is hurt. ["THIS HORROR WILL NOT STAND!!! We MUST act to STOP it from ever happening AGAIN!!!!" We will pass new LAWS BANNING IT!!!]

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.

I mean.

If Dems were unwilling to fight over cabinet nominees and unwilling to fight over the budget/shutdown, it’s safe to assume they’re not going to fight over anything.

When Teslas have more government protection than women

Happy Pi Day!

It certainly is

I truly hope that one silver lining we take from this coup is that voters begin to understand that when you vote for president, you’re not just selecting one person. You’re selecting all the judges they’ll appoint, and the entire cabinet.

Just thinking about what the US looked like before the EPA existed

Republicans control the House. Republicans control the Senate. Republicans control the White House (sort of). If the government shuts down it is 100% on them. Ignore the any media that claims otherwise.

Everyone should be screaming like this! More of this, now please!

Imagine this: On the evening of March 8, you and your spouse unlock the door to your apartment building. As you step inside, two men—not in uniform—push their way in behind you. They tell you your visa has been revoked and that they are there to deport you.

Supreme Court rules 6-3 that Teslas are priced to move with $0 down and no payments for 48 months

Stay focused

Yes. It’s so toxic that lying - in a fantastical and easily disprovable way - carries no moral opprobrium. When did this become ok? It’s one of the reasons we’re so exhausted.

You. Cannot. Take. A. Private. Company. Approach. To. The. Federal. Government. Dumb. Ass.

The way people act like they won’t actually cut Medicaid, Medicare, and Social Security gives similar vibes to when they acted like they wouldn’t actually overturn Roe Stop underestimating them

A sad day for America—Mahmoud Khalil, a Columbia University activist, has been arrested by ICE, not for any crime, but for his political activism. The Trump administration claims he was involved in “pro-terrorist” activities, yet no formal charges have been filed.

Yes. If DHS can barge in, say your visa was revoked, be told you have a green card, say it's revoked too, and then disappear you so that neither your lawyer nor your family can find you, then all the guardrails are gone. There is no policy, practice, or law protecting anyone.

A couple of golf outings could pay for over 300 federal jobs for an entire year.

you’re fired. wait you’re rehired. email us a list of things you’ve done today wait forget it you’re fired again. come back your job was important. you’re fired. or hired. come in to the office. wait the office has no computers go home. we are the department of government efficiency.

Dear US Media covering Combover Caligula's speech: if you can spell things like: "Disinformation" "Misinformation" "Fibs" "Untruths" "Fabrications" "Demonstrable falsehoods" “Plays loosely w/facts” "Mendacity" "Prevarications” Or "whoppers" Then you're probably able to spell the word “lies.”

"They'll never cut Social Security" is the new "they'll never overturn Roe v Wade."

If Russia wants peace, they should end the invasion.

China has announced its tariff retaliation—15% tariffs on US chicken, wheat, corn & cotton, plus a 10% tariff on soybeans, pork, beef, fruits, vegetables, & dairy products. Blue or red state, your grocery bill just raised. Wonder who Trump will blame this trade war on?
