AOC āœŠļøšŸ™Œ

Ollie’s excited about #manholecovermonday.

Note to media: ā€œTrump saysā€ is not a story. He says A LOT. He lies a lot. Do some sifting, discerning, contextualizing. Otherwise it’s just stenography. And you’re embarrassing yourselves.

Polls tell us these are the issues voters care about the most. They are election-deciding issues, and any party focused on solutions to them will win. FOCUS #1 The Economy & Inflation #2 Health Care Affordability #3 Safety, Crime & Immigration #4 Abortion & Democracy #5 Long-Term Financial Security

The American Gestapo strikes again.

Genuine Question because I Do not understand… so if these men roll up in plain clothes and masks, grab a human being… even a child, and throw them in an unmarked vehicle I am just supposed to look the other way and say nothing ?? Ask Nothing ?

Big man with his tweets but a fucking little coward at heart.

😔🤬😔🤬 Buried in a Senate budget bill is a massive giveaway to corporate developers and fossil fuel companies. It forces the sale of at least 2 million acres of Forest Service and Bureau of Land Management land in 11 Western states *every 60 days* until millions of acres are gone.

This guy speaks the honest truth.

Trump’s immigration actions are a classic bait & switch. He campaigned on deporting violent criminals. Instead, he’s deporting moms with their (sometimes American citizen) kids, good neighbors & hard workers; people who pay taxes & provide the labor we need.

All the Republican politicians who told themselves they’d go along with Trump for a little while but knew where to draw the line clearly had no line and lied to themselves so they could feel OK about committing treason against our democracy.

"It gets somewhat lost in all the other high octane dimensions of this story that a raid on a Home Depot is literally an effort to arrest people who are eager to work and whose labor is in great demand. It’s about as far as you can get from just going after the bad guys, as the WH routinely claims."

ICE agents intentionally started the violence in LA.

It’s #manholecovermonday. Deerfield, Illinois.

How now-DHS Secretary Kristi Noem felt about a president potentially federalizing the National Guard one year ago:

Breaking: ABC News says senior national correspondent Terry Moran "has been suspended pending further evaluation." This since-deleted tweet is the reason for the suspension:

When Trump encounters a demographic he doesn’t care for, he ā€œdisappearsā€ them–in many cases, the very record of their existence. Meet America’s new ā€œmissing persons," and the govt campaign to delete statistical evidence of anyone who doesn't fit Trump’s idea of our new golden age. w/ @ashendruk.com

Another day where Trump is a bigger piece of shit than the day before.

Our Gestapo in action again.

This is fascism. Being punished for who you associate with.

So are we just teaching our kids they have to obey anyone with a mask and an unmarked car and an oddly-fitting vest and zip ties now and go with them? Is this where we’re at?

This should be a national debate, not an executive power grab. šŸ“Œ The Posse Comitatus Act prevents the president from using the military as a domestic police force.

We’re paying the salaries of these fucking nazis.

Citizens United is among the worst decisions in Supreme Court history. It's allowed billionaires to completely take over our politics and destroy our democracy. There are days when we are reminded just how pernicious that ruling was. Today is one of those days.
