Their guy said he'd pardon the J6 insurrectionists--and then shockingly did it.
I haven't heard any potential Democratic candidate promise to pardon everybody arrested for protesting ICE.
That'd go a long way toward showing me they're opposition and not just controlled.
Oh.
“We have agreed” — how nice of them! Surely they’re doing this work pro bono right?
My secret life as a cat.
NYT piece on AI in NYC schools got one thing right: Parents, ed activists are pushing back on tech mogul's control of kids, learning, declining @uft.org "partnership" - but didn't explain why. Reasons in this petition, and if you haven't signed yet, please do: actionnetwork.org/petitions/pl...
Not just the legal system, but the politicians who failed to prosecute actual treason. We started at the bottom & worked up as if this was not a topheavy conspiracy of powerful people, none of whom were going to flip on each other. & then the top pardoned all the footsoldiers. & here we are again.
It's always time for this anti-fascist moment from Casablanca.
Brilliant.
Vonnegut on book banning.
I think the words you're looking for are "war criminal."
No blood for oil. Our government is copying the playbook for war with Iraq. This is about imperialism, profit, and world domination.
Stephen Miller must be next to be fired. He has to go.
He lied about a pandemic that killed 1 million Americans. He won’t hesitate to keep lying about the Mideast war he started.
It is so damning of US news media that so many outlets refuse to just straight up say that Senator Tim Sheehy assaulted an activist.
He did not "help" Capitol police. They did not need his help. He wanted to assault the guy and did. He should resign.
this should be the end of the Gavin Newsom 2028 discussion. the party has spoken, full stop

The historic background for Trump's attacks on and demands of Spain's current government in Spain is the US Right's longtime love affair with Franco's fascism's, despite or due to his murderous brutality, a fan club spearheaded by William F. Buckley. More here: www.nybooks.com/articles/202...
#BlueSkyVets What if Trump orders ICE ointo the streets of Iran to suppress “anarchist” unrest.
ICE is a domestic law enforcement agency, barring its practical and diplomatic ramifications it would be interesting to see how ‘hard’ they really are.
#SendICE to Iran!

She doesn’t raise her voice!
She raises accountability!
Letitia James walked into rooms full of powerful men who thought they were untouchable and proved they weren’t!
Strong women don’t need permission!
They need evidence!
And she brought receipts!

In other words, while many people are reeling from the depravity of the GOP and the Dems' ghastly cowardice, the Third Way (funded by the billionaires who give dough to Trump) is rallying to smash the forces defending what we should value.
Out with these hawks.
Kick Paxton's ass, Texas. He's suppressing your right to vote.

Trump is lying.
I serve on the Intel & Armed Services Committees.
There’s no intelligence that Iran posed an imminent threat to the U.S. or the American people.
Exactly. First you let Platner in the door, then you get Neera Tanden retweeting Nick Fuentes, and then your big tent is a fucking Nazi hangout.
No fucking Nazi shit. Period.
This right here.
Happening now in Chicago's federal plaza:
A rally is underway in solidarity with trans people in Kansas whose drivers' licenses were suddenly invalidated last week, due to the enactment of a new state law that requires a person's gender on their license to match their assigned sex at birth.
