There is only one rational law of the internet, which is when you see this video, share this video.

This is insane and everyone involved needs to be sued into oblivion and then go directly to jail

The party of family values doesn’t care if more kids kill thenselves. Horrifying.

Harvard scientist Kseniia Petrova has been in ICE custody for about two months. Her colleague and friend Leon Peshkin says her case is causing some scientists to reconsider working in the U.S.

It doesn't matter what the rest of the sentence says, the opening 10 words in themselves are the scandal: "President Trump on Thursday directed the Justice Department to investigate ... "

Walz: If you say you love freedom but you don't believe freedom is for everybody, then the thing you love is not freedom, it is privilege.

Pete Hegseth is a pretty despicable human being, on top of the other, many deficits he brought to the Pentagon But you should be even madder at the 50 senators who knew Hegseth was an alcoholic, a serial abuser of women, and a poser massively unqualified for the post and yet voted for him anyway

Love her. ♥️

“It's hypocrisy to call yourself a Christian and chase away a refugee or someone seeking help, someone who is hungry or thirsty, toss out someone who is in need of my help. If I say I am Christian, but do these things, I'm a hypocrite." -Pope Francis

People spend a lot of time wondering why the left is worse at using independent media to control the national narrative. A useful exercise is to ask why the left is also worse at selling snake oil and pyramid schemes, because I think the reasons are basically exactly the same.

Pope Francis’s "Urbi et Orbi" Easter speech: “How much contempt is stirred up at times towards the vulnerable, the marginalized and migrants...I appeal to all those in positions of political responsibility in our world not to yield to the logic of fear which only leads to isolation from others.”

Costco is a really popular subject for business-success case studies but I feel like business guys kinda lose interest when the upshot of the study is like "just operate with scrupulous integrity in all facets and levels of your business for four decades" and not some easy-to-fix gimmick

Today was a win. Abrego Garcia is alive and Van Hollen stepped up. Soak it up. Wins are possible. Let it recharge your hope tank before the next thing.

Weird news, 2014: the tan suit is bad Weird news, 2025: David Brooks is calling for the guillotines

one senator insisted on seeing his constituent one that’s all it took to apply pressure what the ever living fuck are the rest of y’all doing???

Jimmy Carter’s understanding of human rights extended from FDR and imagined what might well have been an American social-welfare state. This is not a radical vision. It is simply the intersection of political and moral clarity.

i hope other elected dems are taking note - this is where the bar is now. get out there and do something. put your own ass on the line for us.

None of this damage by Trump or Musk would be possible without the full and unwavering support of the Republican Party. This is like pretending that the problem with the Civil War was that Jefferson Davis thought too much of himself.

If you're protesting this weekend, know your rights when interacting with law enforcement, including immigration agents.

Trump, a father, has 34 felony convictions

All you screamers had to do was vote for this beautiful and highly accomplished public servant. But no- you scream instead and try to ERASE her and Joe. Fuck all the way off.

IF PUBLIC HIGH SCHOOL REQUIRED READING WAS The 1619 Project Stamped from the Beginning How to be an Anti-Racist Between the World and Me CASTE A People's History of the United States My Grandmother's Hands WE WOULD BE A COUNTRY THAT KNOWS WHERE IT CAME FROM; A COUNTRY THAT COULD HEAL.

Talking about potholes is not divisive because we all want them fixed. The reason some of you see racism as divisive is that you don't want to fix the problem. You want to ignore it despite the damage. That reveals what side you are on.

I think the degree to which Cap and Superman taught me what it meant to be an American as a kid is why the America I got as an adult feels so disorienting.

Today is a good day to call anyone you know in Wisconsin and ask them to vote in the Supreme Court race in Wisconsin for Susan Crawford. Lots of people don't pay attention to politics. Please call.

every day I look at pete hegseth's crime-ass face and I realize it is another step closer to us being able to literally run on "I will put every one of these motherfuckers in jail, vote democrat 202(6|8)"

Yes. I do not want to ever 'move on' again. Every time we turn the cheek, overlook the criminality, absolve the sins, they come back worse. I want punishment. Deterrence. Retribution. Err on the side of excess, not lenity. Anything less is asking them to come back worse yet again.

"Creating a ruckus" meaning exercising your First Amendment rights

I'm not saying anything novel here but it really is just truly despicable to watch them use THEIR OWN COLOSSAL SCREW UP to slander the reporter THEY INCLUDED ON THEIR CLASSIFIED GROUP CHAT

AOC: Fox News and the right-wing would have you believe that these American values are something out of The Communist Manifesto. But let me tell you Fox News, I don’t believe in healthcare, labor, and human rights because I’m a Marxist.. I believe it because I was a waitress.

At the Mike Lawler empty chair town hall in Peekskill, 102 year old Dee in danger of losing her Medicaid, heard FDR on the radio in 1935 when he created Social Security. @indivisible.org

Reminder the Trump Administration kidnapped innocent brown men and has them suffering in an El Salvador prison right now without due process. Also your tax pay dollars are funding it.

Roses are red Violets are blue

Have a paper boarding pass going through passport control if you don't want to hand your unlocked phone to federal authorities. Also, in general, use an alphanumeric key to open it, instead of biometric. It's legally easier to compel unlocking with biometric.

Cutting Medicaid, Medicare, and Social Security will result in people dying. Cutting medical research and funding will result in people dying. Cutting foreign aid, FEMA and NOAA will result in people dying. A few cars on fire is considered violence, but somehow the rest isn’t.

The US used the Alien Enemies Act to detain their families. Now, they are watching history repeat. “It’s what happened to us, only on steroids.”

"labor camps"

”we have condemned 228 men to die in a foreign prison without charge or trial” is a fact that I cannot shake from my mind. It just keeps reasserting itself. God have mercy bc this is just the beginning.

🔥 SOUTH CAROLINA Rep. Jermaine Johnson: “You don’t like being called racist in here, but every time we give you a chance to show us something different you show us who you are.” Full: www.instagram.com/reel/DHRKJy_...

If court orders are being ignored, we’re having that constitutional crisis that everyone’s been worried about. We’re there, folks.

We’re Democrats intent on saving our party, demanding @schumer.senate.gov step down as minority leader. He betrayed his caucus & the American people, allowing Trump to continue his carnage. He then left on a cash grab book tour while Americans are losing their jobs? STEP DOWN CHUCK The Reformers +

They are defying the courts. Just as they said they would.
