6/28/2025- Birthright Citizenship www.timesfreepress.com/news/2025/ju...

😪

Pack the Court. If we are serious about the defense of these rights, we pack the Court. Simple as that. They pack it back, we pack it again. We do it until we reach consensus on long-term reforms to the judiciary. I don't know what it's going to take for people to get it.

Our troops deserve strength and stability, not a weekend news anchor from Fox News.

Thinking about the tut-tutting Democratic politicians who spent their two years in power warning that Supreme Court expansion was too radical an idea to even think about taking seriously. You absolute fucking rubes. You gigantic, credulous losers. I hope you are ashamed of yourselves today.

They are MTV Cribs'ing concentration camps.

Right back at ya, bud

it is no exaggeration at all to say that these are people who would rather destroy the state's flagship public university than education a diverse cross-section of the commonwealth's students

Again: imagine the WH press’s reaction if Biden said this

I may vomit

If Trump world thinks birthright citizenship harms America, let's make it retroactive. The parents of J.D. Vance's wife weren't citizens when she was born. Clearly Trump, Miller, Vance believe she's a danger. Their logic would have her citizenship revoked & her deported. That make sense?

CONSTITUTION: We the People — SCOTUS: (leaning back in chairs, hands clasped behind head, smiling like a bunch of real assholes) Ehhhhh, hang on a second there, guys…

It's like a HS speech tournament monologue

I think we all could use a mood lifter

This is the kind of thing we could develop a volunteer service for -- people who work from home who just call and test (since SSA has shut down their own reporting). Same for VA. eu.usatoday.com/story/news/p...

They’re telling us @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social is making lofty promises — meanwhile Trump said we wouldn’t have to pay taxes anymore because tariffs other countries pay for (nope, we do!) would cover it. GTFO.

I have no words. What an a**hole

This administration wants to eliminate gender studies departments while simultaneously constantly reminding us of the need for them

Hegseth thinks his bellicose behavior makes him look strong. Quite the contrary: an insecure man out of his depth, dependent on Trump fealty.

Always loved the people who are like, "But my ancestors came here the legal way!" and by that they mean they arrived via ratship to an island, a man asked them their name, they were like, "Uh, Jeff... Smith?" another guy said "sure?" and then they became permanent residents of the United States.

Socialism is what they called public power. Socialism is what they called social security.    Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.   Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people. —Harry Truman, 1952

MERKLEY: How do you feel about being responsible for hundreds of thousands of kids dying because of your sudden interruption in these key programs? VOUGHT: I reject the assertion MERKLEY: I find your response both ignorant & callous. Few Americans have had a more devastating & disastrous impact

Republicans insisted @GovBillLee’s private school vouchers were all about helping poor kids have “school choice” — turns out they know that was a lie, and they don’t want anyone to have the receipts. It’s a handout for the wealthy. Period. www.chalkbeat.org/tennessee/20...

They will all vote for it

This is a Hall of Fame reader comment on a very reactionary op-ed about Zohran Mamdani's victory that was published in my local paper today.

genuinely think that our elite and hyperrich will never regain their sanity until they lose twitter and have to get all their news filtered through executive assistants again

A fun thing about American politics is that more people voted in New York City in a June primary than live in five states that get two senators.

If you need a mask to enforce the law, you don’t deserve a badge. Federal agents are snatching people off the streets—faces covered, names hidden. This isn’t safety. It’s secrecy. It’s not America. adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/why-are-fe...

Wow

"But they'll get over it"

/ CONGRATS BOSTON U DID IT / U REACHED 101 DEGREES / A NEW RECORD IN BOSTON 4 THE MONTH OF JUNE / U STILL HAVE TIME 2 GO EVEN HOTTER LEFT IN UR DAY / REPENT 2 UR WEATHER LORDS

Heck, yay, let's test them all

“They’ll get over it” – Mitch McConnell when millions lose their health care and hospitals could shut down. Absolutely heartless. Public sentiment matters. Keep being loud and fighting back. We’re in this together.

As someone who has used these records to trace my family tree, I find this atrocious. What the hell??

Damn right!!!

"According to Alejandro, Narciso was picked up by alleged federal immigration officers" Alleged. Expect to see more of this

KTLA - Narciso Barranco, a father to three sons who are all US Marines, pepper-sprayed and punched in the face by alleged federal immigration officers while he was working as a landscaper at an IHOP. He was then forced into the back of an unmarked car in Santa Ana.

“family members identified the victim as Narciso Barranco, a father to three sons who are all U.S. Marines” ktla.com/news/local-n...

😬

“Forget about intelligence” is a pretty good mantra for this administration

Perfect use of AI. No notes

He just dropped $280,000,000 worth of artillery in a war that’s not ours, but our grandparents have to live on Ramen noodles because America can’t afford Meals on Wheels anymore. Make it make sense.

He's trying so hard to emulate that photo...
