Heritage Foundation president Kevin Roberts: ā€œWe are in the process of the second American Revolution,ā€ Roberts said last July, ā€œwhich will remain bloodless if the left allows it to be.ā€ They are counting on fear and cowardice from the left. I believe they are wrong.

Context from the Southern Poverty Law Center catalog of hate groups: "Three Percenters often draw parallels between the U.S. government today and the British government in the 1700s, arguing that the current U.S. government is tyrannical & actively working to infringe on Americans’ Constitutional

This isn't a racist dogwhistle. This is a stack of concert-quality speakers blaring racism into an arena.

The FAA halted the work of an outside panel of experts scrutinizing its management of air traffic control, a previously unreported move made after a fatal airliner crash near Washington raised questions about the agency’s abilities to keep the skies safe.

He sure did!

There are countless better ways to make a buck these days than owning a news outlet. Why be in the journalism business if you're not interested in protecting reporters' rights? Go sell phone cases or pet food or something.

ā€œOne moment, he’s the master of the universe…The next moment, he’s a very smol bean working with limited knowledge and a limited toolset, and why are you bullying him by asking him whether the law requires him to give hearings to deportees?ā€

This hits hard—and says everything about where we are right now. A Yale professor says he’s relocating to Canada to continue his democracy work. When asked why not stay in the U.S. and fight, he says he has two Black sons and he’s the son of a Holocaust survivor—and this is an ā€œanti-Black momentā€.

Peter Dutton, leader of the right-wing opposition in Australia, lost *his own seat* today — amid his broader loss to the Labor Party that won reelection. Just like on Tuesday, when Pierre Poilievre, leader of the right-wing opposition in Canada, lost his own seat — amid his party's broader loss.

John Roberts I bet didn't see this coming, their coming for his power.

So I just found out that the founder of @bsky.app is also the owner of Block - the payment processor helping to fund that racist bitch who called a black child a ni**er. I think I’m done with BlueSky. I don’t support racists.

The possibility that RFK Jr. is going to undermine herd immunity in the United States grows increasingly likely. This would mean that US will be responsible for starting numerous pandemics and potentially destroying the effectiveness of the entire globe’s vaccine arsenal. This is bioterrorism.

DOJ went to SCOTUS today, asking for DHS Sec. Noem to be allowed to implement her action ending Temporary Protected Status for hundreds of thousands of Venezuelans in the U.S. while the admin appeals a loss below in which the judge concluded that Noem's rationale for the move "smacks of racism."

100 Days of Lies.

Healy: I heard him earlier tonight and once again, he lied.. eggs are still over $6 a dozen.

OK, I needed a good laugh today.

Swalwell: What are we doing here? What in this hearing achieves lowering costs for the American people? Do you know how far you’ve deviated from that goal? This is where you are: today, you will make it easier to deport more American citizen children with cancer.

The new way to bribe tRump? New club will cater to those who are hoping to build and nurture relationships with the tRump admin. The doors aren't open to just anyone. To ensure the club only attracts those who are serious, it comes with a hefty membership fee of more than $500,000. bit.ly/3EEuepM

Looks like ICE is using the New England Patriot’s plane - which is available for charter in the off-season - to carry out their assholery.

Rep. Jasmine Crockett—is the Vice Ranking Member of the Oversight Committee and she is next in line, y’all. šŸ”„ Let’s rally behind her because she’s the fierce fighter we need. @repjasmine.bsky.social
