The fight to protect and defend survivors is personal to me.

“New Jersey becomes the 10th state with a law barring local ICE contracts. An attorney general had already imposed restrictions on how sheriffs and police can assist ICE, but advocates wanted those codified into law. Mikie Sherrill signed the bill this week." boltsmag.org/new-jersey-i...

*sigh* Another phony way for them to target their American enemies...the real thinker is how they will turn this into a money making scheme for themselves while ALSO trying to jail prominent Dems...🤔

So he’s starting with his boss, then the entire Cabinet and Administration?

Bruce Springsteen is being clear about his intentions for his upcoming Land of Hope and Dreams tour: "The tour is going to be political and very topical about what’s going on in the country." www.rollingstone.com/music/music-...

Platner is not a Democrat. He voted for Susan Collins for Senator three times by his own admission. He's being pushed by the same people that pushed Fetterman. He's racist, sexist, ageist, homophobic, and completely dishonest about his past, his upbringing, and his job(s). How's that?

There is something REALLY wrong with Republicans. This is so hateful and beyond fucked up. This kind of nonsense is why Republicans need to be voted out in every city, every county, and every state. They don't deserve any power.

The Maryland woman who called ICE on Guatemalan workers after hiring them to fix her roof.

Ohio! Y'all ain't got nothing else better to worry about?

This is part of why I say there are no safe places for us. A state can blue & safe-ish one day & nearly overnight become red & unsafe because cishetero white people vote out of spite, based on vibes not for harm reduction based on legislative track record...

This law is so draconian that it WILL cause Trans/NB people & Black women to be harassed in public in their daily lives. It's more than a drag ban making it impossible to have drag shows... It's an attempt to police people's clothing choices in public..

It came out in April 2023!!!! I thought it was a hoax at first, because why would they make their nefarious plans public? But when I dug into it, I found out it was for real.

Just sitting here thinking about how Black ppl came up with jazz, the blues, rock and roll and hip hop WHILE this country was doing everything it could to ensure we had nothing. Nobody needs Al to create except the untalented.

“[ICE] is the reason that we’re not getting paid,” Pigott told Curbed. “And now I’m working next to that person. And they’re getting paid to do nothing.”

Crumbling roads, public schools & colleges under threat of closure, shit for jobs, rent that's unaffordable, ghost networks keeping people from getting medical care, a grifting power company and it's various scandals bleeding taxpayers dry, a decreasing population... & this is what Ohio Rs focus on.

That sounds like something an NYC real estate developer with a history of non-payment might do. Following the boss’s lead.

Good luck reaching these white nationalist Christians James .. just watch your back because they want you to get the Jesus treatment..

Yeah, like a participation trophy just to make him feel good. Little Johnson proves more by the day how sick he is as well. He is a walking, talking literal contradiction. He was neck deep in the effort to steal the 2020 election. So, nothing he does in support of Trump should be surprising.

Deal Melon Skum, Occam's Razor again. Simple:

Hopefully karma catches up to her. What she did was potentially a felony under Maryland law.

She'd better be charged with a felony

Translation: I wouldn’t take advantage of early voting while I had my ass on my golf course, OK!?! I wasn’t “right there”, I was GOLFING! Geez! Off with your head

Well, is is a damn child, but...yes.

This is Luna. She has a permanent grumpy face because she had distemper as a puppy. She has enormous ears because we assume one of her parents was a jackrabbit. Still 13/10 (IG: lunasmom13)

B-b-b-but Bill Kristol called for a general strike, which puts him to the left of the Democratic Party! 🤪 Some dildo who once worked in the Obama admin actually said this, IIRC.

And if this debacle drags out, Trump well may follow.

This is why I can’t quite stomach “former” Republicans. You bought into (and sold) racism for how long? Into adulthood? Into your thirties? I’ll never trust you. I’ve never heard Tim Miller apologize for it. Or Michael Steele, for that matter.

Liar. I'll go with the data, thanks. “I believe we are in compliance with the court order. We’re not a racist organization, and we don’t racial profile,” he said on Phoenix-area talk radio in March 2025." www.propublica.org/article/sher...

As always, Portia gives an exceptional synopsis. I watched it last night also, & I think every white person needs to watch it. The way that they ever so slightly changed wording of statements to get the POC vote when they realized the gop couldn't win with just white voters.

It’s that one problematic demographic. They always pick white first 🙄

I remember 30+ years ago reading a Gore Vidal essay in which he called us the United States of Amnesia, and it has stuck in my mind ever since.

Because to TrumpInc, anyone not them is just the help. To be used like chess pawns. “[ICE] is the reason that we’re not getting paid,” Pigott told Curbed. “And now I’m working next to that person. And they’re getting paid to do nothing.” www.alternet.org/trump-tsa-ai...

Heck to the heck yes.

Democratic Presidents have repeatedly had to dig us out of the ditch created by the GOP and then voters get convenient amnesia at election time.

The South African near-trillionaire manbaby bought this administration, let him pay for the cost of its choices.

Watching this ASAP.
