No money for Medicaid or SNAP or museums or schools or sidewalks or gun violence prevention or art or libraries. Always money for war.

Impeach the motherfucker.

Who did this? 😂

I'm pretty sure Kamala Harris wouldn't be bombing us into an illegal war right now

We’ve bombed Iran. And dismantled our joint terrorism task force. And sent a third of the FBI to help ICE. And gutted the National Security Council. And a drunk guy is in charge at the pentagon. And our intelligence allies probably won’t share intel with us. Because people couldn’t vote for a woman.

We still have no idea who the ICE agents are. They could be insurrectionists, extremist militiamen or criminals themselves, chasing law-abiding citizens down the street for recording their kidnappings. The odds they aren't are low. Congress must raise hell about this. A masked gang runs our country.

We’re #1!!!

You have to fundamentally realise what is really going on in America. Democracy doesn’t work for the wealthy. They want to rule. Democracy doesn’t allow that. So destroy democracy by controlling what people see and hear. Particularly effective for non critical thinkers.

Nothing is off the table for this regime. Armed and masked men are kidnapping people off American streets. We are living in a lawless and scary country.

We have armed, masked, unidentified men causing violence on our streets, but apparently they're the ones we're meant to trust with our safety. Catch the full episode here:

Fuck yeah!

Notice how George W. Bush, a man who went AWOL, and Donald Trump, a man who dodged the draft five times, are so eager to send *your* children to die in wholly unnecessary wars?

I will never again see an ICE agent without assuming they're from Proud Boys or Oath Keepers, a pardoned Jan 6 rioter or a member of the KKK.

Brutal.

You lose healthcare. They gain yachts. Keep spreading the word.

If we don't want to repeat history, we'd better be strong enough to learn from it. The authoritarian playbook starts with pointing to a group of people who don’t look like you and blaming them for your problems. When those issues are still there, what comes next?

OLD MEN WITH DEATH WISHES SHOULDN’T BE IN CHARGE OF ANYTHING

Make this go viral.

Hard to argue with that.

Congress members have a legal right to conduct oversight at ICE facilities. This is the regime hiding its blatant abuses.

ICE agents are out here manhandling elected officials—yet again. They arrested NYC Comptroller Brad Lander for asking if they had a warrant—which is his constitutional right. (1/2)

“Running the government like a business” is just another way of saying that we should privatize government services afforded to everyone. You know who would love that? Wall Street and big corporations. Don’t buy into the myth. https://youtu.be/hqn1uD_B70U?si=aClsRAYTJHYGXpB4

I haven’t seen nearly enough people talking about this. The levels of greed and inhumane thinking on display is actually terrifying. America really is dystopian as fuck.

The same applies to Canada.

Illinois is PURE AWESOMENESS! 😎✨

97% of extremist-related murders in the U.S. in 2024 were linked to right-wing extremists. It’s not a political movement anymore - it’s a hobby for failed men with too much testosterone and not enough brain cells.

Raskin: You are not our king, and we are not your subjects. We will never be your subjects. All of us born here on this land are citizens and your executive order is nothing but bad graffiti on the Constitution, and we're going to wash it off today

A Democratic Mayor arrested. A Democratic Congresswoman indicted. A Democratic Senator tackled and detained. A Democratic State Representative killed. A Democratic State Representative in critical condition. We can all see where this is going.

Saw this on Instagram and dug it. #NoKings

They are bootlicking, milquetoast wimps. Cowards. Weak in the face of the very thing they were supposed to fight against. Limp in an authoritarian takeover. Pushovers in the fight against those who plan to harm their communities and families. jesspiper.substack.com/p/the-bigges...

At a time when other politicians attempted to distort the truth and disrupt our state, we stayed true to the virtues of the Land of Lincoln. As long as I'm governor, Illinois will uphold our Midwestern and American values — by treating people with dignity, respect, and fairness.

If a US Senator is not safe from being handcuffed and detained for free speech, none of us are safe.

My family owes everything to America's acceptance of a refugee named Nicholas Pritzker on its shores over a century ago. My story, however, is not unique — our state and nation have been strengthened by people from across the globe seeking freedom, opportunity, and refuge here.

This is actually perfect. The emptiness makes it look as ridiculous and wasteful as it is.
