Hahaha

In writing, Trump's judicial nominees have all signaled their support for his election denier conspiracy theories, and their willingness to end birthright citizenship. But Senate Democrats didn't challenge the nominees on these answers when they had the chance. Most of them didn't even show up.

There's a debate about if Lander getting arrested was a stunt? Of course it was a stunt, and it was a good one. He's got the race's best photo op, he raised awareness that they will arrest anyone without a warrant, and most importantly he put his body on the line to do good. Nothing wrong there.

In addition to scientific discoveries (eg 99% of new drugs approved from 2010 to 2019), NIH funding drove an estimated $94 billion in new economic activity and supported more than 400,000 jobs in fiscal year 2024 alone, suggesting every $1 million invested generates $2.5 million in economic activity

Friendly reminder: Undocumented immigrants commit crime at a far lower rate than Donald Trump, his family, and friends. Plus, they also contribute to the U.S. economy and society by paying more local, state and federal taxes. Thanks for coming to my TED Talk. Have a nice day😃

Prime Minister Carney just posted a video of him greeting leaders at the G7. Guess who he excluded...😂

worth a test to see.

Vote them out!

I thought it was obvious, but maybe it needs to be said: I don’t give a good goddamn whether someone is here legally, illegally, documented or undocumented. If they are here, they are my neighbor & that’s good enough for me. It’s how they treat the people that matters to me. Thats it.

You have no obligation to defend or explain the behavior of random street protesters. We have a lawless government that is flagrantly violating its legal, moral, even philosophical obligations to us. Everything else is secondary

It's pretty obvious that a lot of US mainstream media either doesn't recognise authoritarianism or doesn't want to call it out. Either way, it's an excellent way to destroy trust in your institution.

We need leadership. We need bold fighters willing to step up to fascism using every legal lever at their disposal. So many establishment figured have been cowardly and complicit assuming it wouldn't come for them. They were fine throwing the rest of us under the bus. Do you feel safe now?

We have entered the "The police is saying that if the police is at your door you are not safe call the police immediately" stage of making America great again

“My family was separated by deportation, and I was left behind.” - Diane Guerrero

He told you Mexico was going to pay for the wall He told you that windmills cause cancer He told you that his ear was shot in an attempted assassination He told you people were eating their pets in Ohio Now he’s telling you LA is on fire At what point do you stop believing him?

I honestly think it’s time for some Dems to start dropping f-bombs. On national television. Let’s start acting like the crisis this is

HERE IS A THING that EVERY American can do: 1. Call your Senator. 2. Say the following: "I am requesting that you place a hold on the nomination of Bill Essayli as U.S. Attorney for the Central District of CA for directing federal agents to assault a U.S. Senator." 3. Call other Senator, repeat

Not taking anything away from Senator Padilla because he was treated atrociously But I JUST want to remind everyone that the Congresswoman LaMonica McIver, a Black woman, was just indicted for just asking questions at an ICE detention center in her state Keep that same energy of support for her

Zionists literally going crazy over Mamdani

shut down the senate.

10 days ago Hakeem Jeffries said House Ds would "respond in a time, place, and manner of our choosing" & the response would "be continuous and it will meet the moment" after a Nadler aide was handcuffed. He has done nothing. If he had courage Dems would file impeachment resolutions vs Noem today.

House Democrats need to bring articles of impeachment against Kristi Noem, while Senate Democrats need to bring that chamber to a fucking halt.

We kept telling Democrats that the crackdown on pro-Palestinian activists and the undocumented would be green light to go after everyone. Here we are, folks. Fascists come for everyone.
