❗ ABJECT CRUELTY & DEPRAVITY. In Chicago's South Shore, federal agents went after Black Americans--US citizens--& Venezuelan families. They dragged a 67 y/o American man outside, leaving him ziptied for hours. They dragged out Venezuelan families, some unclothed, separating parents & kids. @wbez.org

He knows it. They know it. They've always known it. Amongst themselves, they joke about it. They tell stories about it. They swap advice on how to deal with it. But most importantly, to everyone else, they lie about it.

This is what Trumpism has wrought.

Talarico: if you read the new testament, Jesus doesn't spend most of his time preaching or teaching or even praying. He spends most of his time healing the sick. Right now, we have politicians in congress with Christ follower in their Twitter bio, but they are kicking the sick off their health care

Trumpnomics: Get tariff money from US consumers on Chinese goods. Our farmers can’t sell their products because the Chinese refuse to pay our tariffs. China buys from farmers in Argentina instead. We send Argentina $20 billion. Then we pay our farmers to throw their crops away.

They’re baaack. 🤣 Repairs and all…

BREAKING: Our client Mario Guevara, an Emmy-winning journalist detained by ICE in retaliation for livestreaming law enforcement activity, will be deported tomorrow to El Salvador. Mario and his family are being punished for his reporting. This cruelty is meant to stifle our free press.

The US is going to bailout Argentina with your tariff money. Let that sink in

Some of us were talking about both subjects before it was cool.

Oh, that’s a good one.

If this country was truly “pro-life,” we would have Medicare for All, a Green New Deal, gun reform, universal child care, and a living wage. The right-wing agenda isn’t about “life.” It’s about control.

RIP Jane Goodall 💔

I hate it when Putin speaks and people quote him seriously, analyzing his words, searching for meaning, trying to understand him as if he’s ever uttered a single word of truth. Cynical murderer and a lying gargoyle, that's what he is.

Today, I'm signing legislation to safeguard our elections and the voice of every voter. It's now illegal to use contests or payments to get people to register to vote. And in the 2026 election, voters have the chance to repeal our state's ban on the public financing of elections.

It’s Wednesday, where’s the TikTok guy with his receipts on Mike Johnson for Grindr?

NEW: THREAD: Just a small collection of propaganda emails sent by the regime to federal employees who have sent them to me on the condition of anonymity. First, we all saw the HUD banner from Tuesday morning. 1/

Stephen Miller tells law enforcement in MEMPHIS: “You are unleashed”

From her lifetime of pioneering work with chimpanzees to her tireless advocacy for the environment... Jane Goodall was a one-of-a-kind treasure to the world! I was lucky enough to be able to thank her personally when our paths crossed not long ago. Thanks again, Ms. Goodall. You will be missed. ♥️

i honestly think the failsons are going to fuck up authoritarianism because they cant wait 10 years to gently pull the authoritarian levers behind the scenes and just had the fcc yell at disney instead like theyre on a tv show lol. theyve just never worked for anything and also wont work for this

Oh nothing just the president reposting “Qanon76”

🙏 💚

Evergreen image for my adult life.

Raskin: "It's not lost on anyone that shutting the government down allows them not swear in our new colleague, Ms Grijalva from Arizona, who would be the 218th signature to discharge the Epstein files and to put a vote on that on the House floor."

Let me be clear: this will impact ALL of us. It’s bigger than just Medicaid & Medicare. We will all pay the price.

For the price of a $400 million jet/bribe, you too can get your very own US security guarantee

If he wasn't running the government right now and basically instrumental in our current march toward full-blown authoritarianism, I'd just sit back and laugh out how pathetic and ridiculous he sounds here.

Elizabeth Warren: "The president said 'I am going to impose a lot more pain on my fellow American citizens. I'm going to impose a lot more pain on people in NY who need to use those tunnels so I can get my way politically.' To me, that is a place to stop & say, then we're ready to fight about this"

Simply a bunch of assholes.

I’m gonna go ahead and call flag on the word legend 🚩🚩

California and New York paying taxes to this federal government in 2025 is tantamount to England and France paying taxes to Germany in 1940. The money is going to be used *against* you.

Thou shalt not refuse to swear in elected officials because you’re desperately trying to cover up sex crimes by billionaire pedophiles.

Hertling: His comments about putting hands back on recruits… We moved away from that 30 years ago because it’s ineffective… You know where it didn’t go away? The Russian army.

Our generals serve the country, not an ex-Fox News clown looking for headlines.

#ReleaseAllTheEpsteinFiles THEN PROSECUTE AND #LockThemUp

Our Gen Z isn't like the Gen Z who took down the government in Nepal. Our Gen Z went to the polls and voted for the enemy, so they could stay home and complain.

We will likely NEVER see the full Epstein files. And that's OK. Plenty of journalists have scooped most of the relevant bits and pieces already. I'd recommend Whitney Webb and Sarah Kendzior to start. Psst. It's transnational Organized crime.
