The U.S is acting like that crazy ex that can’t stand seeing you happy after a break up, then they go nuts. They key your car and light your sh!t on fire thinking you’re gonna run back into her arms out of fear of being alone. The difference is: we’re done and we sure as hell not going back. 🖕🏽

ICE agent pulling the lady's arm like she was a doll.. aggressive The guy in the beard pulling the lady around has been seen in other videos acting aggressively

Facts do not change.

Those dismissed include two attorneys who worked as supervisors overseeing the Jan. 6 prosecutions in the U.S. attorney’s office in Washington as well as a line attorney who prosecuted cases stemming from the Capitol attack.

Zohran Mamdani’s win has inspired over 3400 young people to raise their hands to run for office just since Tuesday. It’s now @runforsomething.net’s biggest candidate recruitment moment since the election. A new generation of leaders is here.

This country is thoroughly screwed for at least a generation. People haven't taken stock of how much damage has already been done. 2026 and 2028 won't magically fix this. It's going to be a long walk.

A long and -- at times -- brutal week. But we continue to fight for democracy with hope and determination. Thank you to everyone who has offered kind words of support on this journey. More soon. Goodnight.😴

If things are going so well for the establishment, why does ONE young Dem mayor nominee scare them so much? They are terrified of what comes next.

Bernie to Dems:

Consider donating to Friends of the Everglades and the Center for Biological Diversity. They’ve filed a federal lawsuit in U.S. District Court to try and stop “Alligator Alcatraz” before it opens.

Spot on. This is the clearest explanation I’ve seen. It ‘s relatable, and humanizes the issue in a way everyone can understand.

MUST WATCH: Oceanside CA: Militarized DHS (HSI) smashed windows, assault rifles drawn, tossed flashbangs and sent drones into the apartment which had 2 kids inside. They then told neighbors they were going to use tear gas, and they’d probably be exposed. Please share widely. WTF

Miami just canceled its November election & pushed it to 2026. No public vote, just canceled. Mayor Suarez & Joe Carollo get to stick around an extra year. This feels like a power grab. If one city can delay elections for “participation,” what’s to stop others from doing it to silence opposition?

I didn’t have “arguing if the Constitution is constitutional” on my 2025 bingo card. Did you?

I miss having a human president.

Instead of wringing their hands over him, Democrats should follow Zohran Mamdani's lead. Some thoughts... https://robertreich.substack.com/p/the-corporate-democrats-biggest-nightmare

If Jeff Bezos can afford to rent Venice for a $50 million wedding, he can afford to pay his fair share in taxes.

Capping college loans will keep poor kids out of college. That’s the plan. That’s been the plan.

True.

Birthright citizenship is a Constitutional RIGHT. Any attack on it is an attack on us all. This is an attempt by far-right justices to attack immigrant communities and remove protections from any American who questions Trump. Your rights are nonnegotiable. We can’t compromise on that basic fact.

Anyone else having a hard time being happy when the Supreme Court makes the right call for once? It’s like, good, but **gestures broadly**

A radical Christian just murdered the speaker of a state house but the real worry is the theocratic muslim who said the bus should be cheaper

Oops.

We were so fortunate to have such a good and decent man as our president.

god damn he's cooking

True North Strong and Free!

Just called Senator Gillibrand’s office to express how upset I was by her comments on the Brian Lehrer show the other day and got the impression from the tone of the person answering the phone that they’ve been getting a lot of calls like this

"Sorry Islamophobes, I'm a Proud Muslim American and, Like Zohran Mamdani, I'm Not Going Anywhere" The insanely bigoted attacks on Mamdani are out of control and designed to intimidate a vulnerable minority – but they will fail. Please read/share my latest for Zeteo: zeteo.com/p/sorry-isla...

That’s right. Cut this lying lunatic off! Every self-respecting news network should cut Trump off and fact-check him in real time. MSNBC did it right!

BREAKING: @gavinnewsom.bsky.social files a $787 million defamation lawsuit against Fox News. Watch the interview with @governor.ca.gov here:

The only person to have universal rights in this country is a straight, white, able-bodied, Christian man.

Christian Nationalism is religious rule, too.

Bondi just said DHS is helping rid us of criminals from the Sinaloa Cartel, but she failed to mention the asylum she gave to family members of the Sinaloa Cartel. She also said we're ridding the country of MS-13, but failed to mention the asylum she's giving to MS-13 leaders in the Abrego case.

There is no justification for killing wolves — wolf hunts are trophy hunts. Wolves live in balance with nature — they aren’t a threat to people or livestock. Wolves are worth far more alive than dead and support balanced, healthy ecosystems. Empathy is the way forward. #StandForWolves

I urge Canadian’s to file formal complaints online if they find misleading or ambiguous product labeling (with regards to country of origin). I do not want to buy USA made goods. Report misleading labelling! You can upload images or scanned receipts. competition-bureau.canada.ca/en/contact-c...

So am I reading this court decision correctly? We now have 50 micronations with their own laws interpreting the U.S. Constitution wholly separate from one another? But there's one guy with private law enforcement who is immune from all punishment who can do whatever he wants in those 50 states?

Stripping birthright citizenship from people born in this country goes against rights guaranteed in the Constitution. We must stand against unconstitutional actions and stand up for the fundamental rights granted to people in the United States of America.

@gavinnewsom.bsky.social on Jesse Watters: "He has HIMSELF has said, when you manipulate or edit facts for a public official, someone needs to be fired... I think he's right! I hope he reads his own words."

Sierra Matthews lives in a small Missouri town, works in the public school system, raises two young sons, and has no health insurance. She falls below the poverty line. Medicaid isn’t a handout. It’s her lifeline. Take it away, there is no fallback! #MedicaidSavesOurLives

The American Civil Liberties Union of Montana filed a motion Tuesday to intervene in a lawsuit challenging a state law that slashes same-day voter registration hours and threatens to disenfranchise Indigenous voters across the state. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

It’s every parent’s nightmare, isn’t it? you check your child’s bulletproof backpack and find a picture book about gay penguins

Walmart Employee Fired After Getting Detained While Trying to 'Stick Up' for Coworker Confronted by ICE

Damn‼️ Federal agents blew a door off for this? Federal agents blasted their way into an LA home where Jenny Ramirez lives with her boyfriend and two kids. She heard the blast while checking on her 6-year-old, with her 1-year-old in her arms. Ramirez says everyone in the home is a U.S. citizen. 🧵

Shouldn’t this be the other way around?!

Trump to an African reporter: "She's beautiful ... you are beautiful and you're beautiful inside. I wish I had more reporters like you."

Rest in peace and hope the people make your sacrifice mean something…
