Ashli Babbitt was an insurrectionist! A treasonous piece of shit. She died because she stormed the Capitol! Her actions were seditious and an affront to all that hold the Constitution dear! Her family are also pieces of shit! That the DOJ settled with those fucktards is unbelievable!

Exactly, calls to empathize with and debate conspiracists is a major reason why so many conspiracies have crept back into public discourse. We should treat election truthers and anti-vaxx freaks the way we treat ISIS.

The "problem" with so-called illegal immigration is that the US has unjust, unenforceable laws that let employers exploit migrant workers. Many sectors rely on migrant workers and our laws should reflect that reality and make sure the people who come here to do necessary labor are proctected.

I still can't believe people are getting snapped up and sent to foreign torture prisons without due process. I still can't believe people are still using the word "deported." I still can't believe elected representatives have gone on record that it's also okay to do this to US citizens. WTAF.

The issue is not whether Kilmar Abrego Garcia is a model person. It's whether any legal resident can be kidnapped by the government and sent to a foreign torture prison with no due process. Because if it can happen to him, it can happen to you.

Florida’s about to ban fluoride in drinking water—because nothing says “freedom” like letting your kid’s teeth rot out by age 10. The state that drinks soda by the gallon and bathes in swamp juice just outlawed the one thing keeping jaws from falling off. Welcome to DeSantisland: The State of the ??

Periodic reminder that there is nothing you can give the far right that will satisfy them. Remove a right, they’ll go after another. Attack a minority, they’ll want worse attacks and find new groups to attack. There’s no end to the authoritarianism. Just more, and worse, until everyone’s crushed.

You were made to fear caravans and drag queens, but it was your golden god and his cronies gutting the country like a pig, selling off the bones while you waved flags and called it freedom.

Stop pretending what this is about ICE, FBI, DHS—they’re looting American homes under the color of law. Storm the house, seize cash, electronics, anything valuable, leave families penniless and no one’s held accountable. This isn’t law enforcement. It’s state-sanctioned theft. Welcome to fascism

You can’t say criminals don’t deserve due process when due process is the thing that decides if they're criminals. Otherwise you're just kidnapping people you don't like.

LRT with every of these “NFTs deleted; now worthless” stories coming out I need you to remember that we were told it’s the future, it’s inevitable, its the future of money and your house will be registered on it and your car will be registered on it and if you don’t get it NOW you’ll be left behind.

the reason why these people believe in “the woke mind virus” and think of others as “NPCs” is because they have literally fried their brains in private group chats with people who share the same half dozen opinions

A disgusting new level of propaganda. Karoline Leavitt wasted taxpayer dollars plastering mug shots across the White House lawn — like trophies. Lies. Fear. Dehumanization. All to distract us from their own failures.

To give you a bit of context: every now and then someone pisses off ICE (before that INS) and they harass-charge them with something like this. Usually it’s someone who tells employees that ICE is here and lets them run out the back door, or something like that. /1

The US government has dismantled all covid related tracking & reporting despite people dying and becoming disabled every day… Yet they’re establishing a registry to track autism cases and plan to access people’s private medical data. Autism doesn’t kill. It’s not contagious. This is eugenics
