Sounds like Noem’s ICE is conducting a “special military operation.” Wonder where she got that idea

LA is not a distraction. The Parade is not a distraction. The speech at Bragg was not a distraction. None of it is a distraction! All of it matters and there are millions of us that can focus on each of them. There are 257 Democrats on the Hill that can pound all of it. Just fucking fight!

It is 100% carrying water for the opposition to participate in this collective delusion that Dems for some reason need to answer for every teen who throws a rock rather than hold the Trump admin accountable for intentionally creating chaos and breaking the law to stoke violence. They are in charge.

The folks hollering about “family values” are out here tearing families apart with unlawful ICE raids, militarized police, & the weaponization of government. All while ripping away food & healthcare from working-class families. Are the family values in the room with us?

hope the marines bring their dancing shoes, this looks brutal

What if everyone who cared about racial justice, climate justice, LGBTQIA+ rights, Indigenous sovereignty, workers rights, and economic justice teamed up together against the root causes? @generalstrikeus.bsky.social

This is a major escalation: threatening to turn the US military on its own citizens. This is NOT allowed! This dumbass has no idea what he is doing!

abolishing ice is the compromise position. the entire department of homeland security should be dismantled

So I heard Republicans are confused and waiting for Jerry Springer to tell them who their daddy is before any legislation can move! Is Elon their daddy or Trump?

Law enforcement officers should never cover their faces when making arrests or conceal their identities (unless they are working undercover). They work for us. We have a right to know who they are. These face coverings are frightening & unAmerican, as though they're ashamed of what they're doing.

Looking for leaders!

My latest: Jasmine Crockett offers weak-kneed Democratic leaders a path forward Crockett personifies the fight people want to see against Trump and MAGA Republicans

Police cars should be marked and Ice agents should not be be masked.

The world needs more of this and less of most other things

True facts stated...

This is much better.

Donald Trump is a symptom of a deeper sickness of inequality, disillusionment, and division. The cure? Economic and social justice. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zTQoc5Jrciw

Love this!

Why can’t Republicans just mind their business? They involve themselves in everyone’s lives. From classrooms to doctor’s offices to libraries to to bedrooms. Small government my ass…

just walked past a bunch of high school boys and heard, in no particular order, "I love the PP," "I hate Jagmeet," and "Andrew Tate says..." so perhaps we should not lower the voting age until we destroy the internet entirely

A Horrible Truth That Shouldn’t Be….

Sunday inspiration… John Lewis never folded. Neither will we. They want our light out. Keep it blazing.

Can we get a do-over? Asking for the sane WORLD that wants off of this disastrous rollercoaster known as the Trump Administration/Crime syndicate/moronic monsters.

There is an entire political movement that believes the statement “if you work full-time in America, you should be able to pay your bills and have a savings account with your paycheck” is radical. We must come to an agreement that it’s not radical to demand that.

This is your regular reminder that executive orders are not royal decrees. Because America has no king.

Polarization isn’t always grassroots — it’s often fueled from the top, by those who benefit from division more than unity.

The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate. The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns. Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care. The list goes on and on. Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.

Every week some story is like "Oh no a fashy trashcan has leaked access to the ever present death machine" and the story is never about the existence of the ever present death machine.

The thing that irritates me the most is that ever since Donald Trump decided to run in 2015, the United States has not felt like the same United States most of us grew up in, and for good reason: It hasn't been. He stole something vital to the life force of this country. The worst kind of theft.

The modern US Republican Party may be the most openly, brazenly, and shamelessly hypocritical group of people to have ever existed in human history.

The Trump regime's repeated attacks on "DEI," "wokeness," immigrants, and the trans community have one clear purpose: If we are angry at each other, we don't look up to see how big corporations and billionaires have rigged markets and siphoned off most of the economy's gains.

In fairness, China's pronouncers of state propaganda have a much better game then America's.
