No more aspirational goals. We need homes, we need them now, and we need them for the next generation.

California was built on the future, but the future doesn't build itself. Let’s get to work.

Let me be clear: I’m glad Kristi Noem was fired. But we still have to abolish ICE.

I was saying this the other day, but for all the thinkpieces about liberal echo chambers, no one discusses the right-wing echo chamber that enables people to think one of the most popular musicians in the world is some niche and offensive selection for the Super Bowl halftime show

I don't speak Spanish, so maybe I missed something, but with this kind of show, he didn't need to make any kind of explicit comment about ICE or whatever. The show itself was a rebuke to the bullshit going on right now.

Exactly right.

Bovino's leaving? Great, get Noem to resign.

Noem resigns? Great, defund and dismantle ICE.

Go after Stephen Miller too. Bring charges against ICE thugs at the state and local level. Lawsuits. New state laws restricting them.

Every possible angle.

Enough with this garbage about "healing the divide." This is America and it looks pretty damn united to me.

Real patriots turn out for one another and that's why we'll bury this new Confederacy in the same trash heap as their ancestors.

Purple-toned, high-contrast graphic showing two figures side by side. On the left, a woman, Kristi Noem, speaking into a microphone, partially visible. On the right, a masked ICE agent in tactical gear with an “ICE” patch visible on the chest. White overlaid text reads: The Trump administration has weaponized ICE and Border Patrol, turning those agencies into masked, hostile police forces that are terrorizing the American people.
ICE has become a rogue agency that has gone far beyond its original mandate. It should be immediately dismantled.

Furthermore, Secretary Kristi Noem and her thugs have been acting in violation of court orders and in contempt of Congress, and she should be impeached.

This might sound like snark but it's just an honest reply:

The state's right to carry out violence at will is a top priority of any state, but certainly of a state that's a white supremacist patriarchy.

And the use & abuse of women's & children's bodies is a feature, not a bug, in such a system.

When a cop murdered my big brother at a road block 21 years ago, their post-facto justification was that he tried to run over a cop.

His foot released the brake after the officer shot him in the chest, and the car bumped an officer.

Need this energy when Trump leaves office. Take a fucking bulldozer to his bribe ballroom and rip his name off the Kennedy Center and whatever else he slaps his name on.

LA has stopped repaving our streets The reason why is probably illegal

LA quietly stopped repaving all streets last July to avoid fulfilling its ADA obligations. The federal govt says when you repave a street, you have to update all the curb ramps. LA has tons of out of date curb ramps, so the rule makes repaving much more expensive. The city's solution: stop repaving!

a few candidates have talked about this but any Dem planning to run in 2028 should make it explicit: the next DOJ will, in fact, go after you if you’re funding this awful ballroom, or any other pay to play deals you make with this administration

The entire debate about whether Democrats should moderate or focus on economic vs identity issues is moot if the media is just going to report that they're doing SJW Shit irregardless

A tweet by Dr. Anastasia Maria Loupis shows a photo of Zohran Mamdani wearing a white kippah while sitting beside Brad Lander at an event with candles behind them. The caption reads, “So this is the Muslim Mayor of New York lol.” The tweet implies mockery and hostility by suggesting that Mamdani—who is Muslim—is symbolically subservient to Jews because he is wearing a kippah, invoking an antisemitic trope about Jewish control and an Islamophobic framing of divided loyalty.

This is really good to see: Miki Sherrill just put out a statement sharply criticizing the Senate Dems' pending cave in the government shutdown, ripping it as "malpractice" and a betrayal of the people who are "counting on us to fight for them." Sherrill knows what drove her victory. Wake up, Dems.

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person.

The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person.

People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives.

And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

Tonight's even more proof the mainstream reporters who are still on Twitter are suffering from a brain problem akin Havana Syndrome that is preventing them from accurately doing their jobs. They are being cooked alive by a snuff-focused apartheid algorithm.
