And just like that, the ‘No New Wars’ people are all-in on a new war. Proving yet again that they really believe in nothing other than what one man tells them to believe today. Which could be different tomorrow. The very definition of a cult.

We can't tell difference between FASCIST felon Donald Trump's alleged "ICE agents" & other criminals. Trump goons are arresting us illegally, + Trump & RFK Jr are trying to kill us. We're no longer safe in America - anywhere - NOT even a Judge, Congresswoman or U.S. Senator! Trump danger is DIRE!

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

The prevailing wisdom of our times (as seen in Serious Op-Eds™️) seems to boil down to whining that empathy, equity, creativity and intellectual effort are just TOO HARD.

"Arrest" does NOT describe masked thugs assaulting and detaining people without providing IDs or warrants. "Deportation" is NOT disappearing people to PRISONS in foreign countries with no due process. The US press needs to stop using language that implies any of this is lawful. #Bradlander

OMG ICE just arrested Brad Lander NYC mayoral candidate illegally without warrant for accompanying animmigrant to court!!! Not even an immigrant!

I am watching Sen. Alex Padilla talk on the Senate floor about being assaulted last week, as I watch New York City controller Brad Lander get assaulted at immigration court. In between reports on the two MN Democrats shot, one murdered, last weekend. But both sides, people, both sides.

At least 4 MAGA terrorist attacks took place in the United States targeting peaceful protestors & lawmakers on Saturday, one assassination, a shooting into a crowd, and two car rammings. Other MAGA showed up at protests attempting to intimidate people. MAGA is a terrorist group.

I'm just gonna say the amount of peacefulness that these large rallies where essentially nobody was in charge is stunning and fantastic.The media doesn't seem to be too happy though… Definitely looking for any violence they can play up. But the story should be how unbelievably wonderful it all went.

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.

Texas lawmakers will shout about being tough on immigration but quietly refuse to pass laws requiring that employees verify workers are authorized to work in the US. Why? Because they know what it would do to an economy that relies on underpaid migrant workers. New, @lomikriel.bsky.social

From @nytopinion.nytimes.com “Too many Christians are transforming Christianity into a vertical faith, one that focuses on your personal relationship with God at the expense of the horizontal relationship you have with your neighbors,” writes our columnist David French.

The really critical thing to know about the Trump/Musk throw down is that the “Big Beautiful Bill” would explode the debt, exacerbate economic inequality, and cause cruel and grievous harm to the most vulnerable Americans and we really should be talking about that a whole lot more.

it is all projection with these MAGA leaders. they scream about medicare and medicaid fraud by some poor and working class folks, but the greatest source of fraud has been by millionaires and billionaires like Rick Scott who defrauded medicare and medicaid by nearly $2 billion.

Straight-up misogyny is the explanation for 2024 that accords best with the actual vote shifts. But for some reason if you mention it a ton of people rush out of the woodwork to go “no no no! it’s inflation and Harris’s policy choices! Which for some reason only men cared about!”
