Our government is acting like the government they are bombing and killing people for.

"All the President's Men" was a warning Nearly 50 years later, the film feels less like a triumphant ode to journalism than a warning about media decay.

Righteous Incivility Trumps Silent Defiance | Revolving Door Project Hakeem Jeffries' appeals for decorum-friendly disruption at the State of the Union read more like cowardly acquiescence than stoic defiance.

If the Democrats continue to whisper while Trump shouts, they will find themselves wondering why a public suffering under his authoritarianism remains reluctant to hand them the keys to power.

The GOP is what happens when you elevate middle-school bullies to positions of power.

if you think the greatest threat to effeminate gay boys is the trans movement and not the cis straight men who overwhelmingly exclude and brutalize them then you should walk into the ocean immediately

The Tech ICE Uses To Find You

From facial recognition and location tracking to deciphering encrypted messages, this is the tech that they use. Taken together, these invasive systems form an interconnected surveillance ecosystem unlike anything seen in America before.

Stay Safe.

Just saying, but when people are trying to do everything they can to prevent you from voting, that’s when you absolutely need to vote.

Ready to make this the biggest midterm turnout in history?

Horrifyingly Kansas has passed a bill that causes DMV to revoke driver’s licenses for trans people, AND a system to allow individuals to sue trans people for $1000 if they use the “wrong” public bathroom. This is a sickness. I guess it’s boycott Kansas time.

Corrupt is no longer a strong enough word to describe MAGA and Trump.

Malfeasance is now my choice word to describe how: illegal, dishonest, rotten, vile, fraudulent, corrupt, awful, and perverted they have become.

It's not hyperbole to suggest that today we have a federal government that doesn't so much represent or resemble a federal administration as it does a family crime syndicate.

The ICE surge in Minnesota cost $280M to detain 4k people. Of those- only 30 were accused of violent crimes.

$9 million per capture of the "worst of the worst".

The richest man owns X.

The second and third richest men control Google.

The fourth richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.

The fifth richest man owns The Washington Post.

And now the sixth richest could soon take over both Paramount and Warner Bros.

See the problem here?

Aliya Rahman, woman who was dragged out of car by ICE in Minneapolis: "I've spent the last month learning the names of the tendons in my shoulder, because both of my shoulders are torn -- cartilage and tendons. But what I haven't learned is the names of the people who did this to me."

After talking endlessly about how precious and sacred "women's sports" are, to have Trump and the men's hockey team mock the women's team just shows how everything they pretend to care about is a lie. They only "care" about one group if they can use that to attack another group.

Angie Craig: "They removed everyone from the ICE facility 30 minutes before we arrived — this is not the intent of the law. DHS is violating the law"

Ilhan Omar: "What happened today is a blatant attempt to obstruct members of Congress from doing their oversight duties"

fellow leftists: when someone says to a politician "why are you not keeping to your campaign promises?" it doesn't help to go "lol did you really expect them to?" bc often the answer is no. they didn't. they're just trying to invoke some public accountability. stop being jerks.

Voter fraud found in Georgia.
Not by Democrats.
Not by immigrants.
By Elon Musk's America PAC sending out pre-filled absentee ballot applications.
Every accusation is a confession.
