‘Intersected’. The torturous language to avoid calling corruption, corruption

The Trump administration is planning to change the US refugee system to favor white people. At the same time, they’re in the Supreme Court fighting to gut the Voting Rights Act. It’s no wonder young Republicans are sending racist messages. Racism is the official policy of the Republican Party.

An emotional minute as the word Democracy melts away in front of the US Capitol Building.

Regarding past rallies Indivisible has organized, such as the “Hands Off” rallies that took place in all fifty states in April, co-executive director Ezra Levin said: “It was far larger than January 6th, and there was no violence. None.” www.thebulwark.com/p/no-kings-r...

The Supreme Court’s majority right wing indicated in oral arguments that they think racism is over on the same day that the vice president defended the “I love Hitler” guy, and that the NYT reported that the current administration plans to accept only white, English-speaking refugees.

Dear media, 1/ ICE consistently lies about its violence toward people in Chicago, with its initial accounts later disproven. 2/ When protesters shout at ICE agents to get out of their neighborhood and ICE tear-gasses them and throws them to the ground, that's not a "clash" – that's ICE violence.

15 US states and territories have formed a new Public Health Alliance, which will counter the absence of federal leadership by tracking outbreaks, issuing guidance, buying vaccines and more. Members of the new alliance include CA, CO, CT, DE, GU, HI, IL, MD, MA, NJ, NY, NC, OR, RI, WA.

I am sounding the alarm that the GOP is engaged in an all out attack voting rights and free and fair elections. Voter suppression, gerrymandering, and troops in blue cities are just some of the ways they are using to try to rig the rules to keep power in 2026 and beyond. Pay attention and act!

The GOP that gave us the Jan 6 terrorist attack and then pardoned the terrorists is calling the No Kings rally a pro-terrorist rally. These are despicable people.

Nearly all the staff in the Office of Special Education have been fired as part of Trump’s sweeping layoffs. These are the people responsible for protecting the civil rights of students with disabilities and ensuring they receive an equal education. More needless cruelty on display.

AZ AG Mayes: If I have to, I’ll take Speaker Johnson to court. There's no legitimate reason for him to refuse to swear her in right now. And it's not fair for Mike Johnson to be holding the state of Arizona hostage because he doesn't want to release the Epstein files.

Speaker Johnson, you ready to swear me in?

This is priceless😂😂😂😂😂😂

Donald Trump is giving $20 billion of taxpayer money to Argentina – to help his political ally stay in power and bail out Wall Street hedge funds – while Americans at home can't afford health care or groceries.

Qs Congress & press need to ask: -What group were those killed associated with? What were their roles? Who were they? -Will you explain the reasoning in OLC's opinion purporting to justify these killings? -Do you believe you have authority to summarily kill US citizens involved in the drug trade?

The President is announcing more extrajudicial killings today. A reminder that the administration has provided no limiting principles and these killings are completely untethered from the law (there was no "armed attack," there's no "armed conflict," and these aren't "unlawful combatants").

ARIZONA AG: “.. Arizona’s right to a full delegation, and the right of the residents of CD 7 to representation from the person they recently voted for, are not up for debate ..” @politico.com #AZ07 www.politico.com/live-updates...

It’s become crystal clear, Speaker Johnson doesn’t want Congress to come back in session because they don’t want the Epstein files released. Stop the shutdown - release the files!

We’ve lived 15 years under Citizens United, watching billionaires and corporations shape democracy with their wallets. Reform once seemed impossible. But now, a group in Montana is asking a radical question: What if states simply stopped granting corporations the power to spend in politics?

Jeff, a small business owner and father of three, relies on healthcare tax credits to keep his family covered. Without them, his premiums will eat up half of his income — double the price of his mortgage.

Donald Trump just bombed his fifth boat off the coast of Venezuela MURDERING 6 more INNOCENT people.

Fresh off not winning the Nobel Peace Prize, Trump decides to blow up another boat and call it narco terrorism. Why Venezuela hasn't declared war on us, I don't know. apnews.com/article/trum...

The president is clearly insane, is on a white supremacist government purging spree, has masked men in the streets abducting people based on their race, is trying to start a war with Venezuela, and is tanking the economy, and none of that would be apparent just going by most corporate news outlets .

So this time the boat *wasn't even moving*.

They are straight up MURDERING people. No due process. Nothing. This makes me absolutely disgusted to be an American.

Normalizing just saying something is true extrajudicially. Soon, omg, soon - that’ll be what he does inside the USA. He’s softening it up expectation.

Continuing to starve living people is not a just response to the slow return of the bodies of dead victims.

Horrible, Horrible people!

Unbearably violent images from Downtown Chicago where a classical music concert was played on the Chicago River. This is too elegant and magical to be seen.

This is a good news. I hope Newark airport does the same thing. As much as I now loathe flying, I never imagined the worst part of the trip would be being forced to watch this crap on the TV screens. They’ve never had the slightest respect for people who did not vote for them.

The truth is that Trump is held to a uniquely & pathetically low standard by his voters. Trump’s voters treat him like a spoiled child. He can lie, cheat, steal, personally profit off his office, etc, etc, & his voters are just fine with it. All behaviors they let no other politician get away with.

The largest demonstration during Trump’s first term was around 750 events. “We’re now expecting about 2,500 events around the country on No Kings. So we’re talking about literally four times as many.” - @leahgreenberg.bsky.social Please join us on Saturday: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i... #NoKings

Unprecedented corruption

The idea that there are activists and citizens who attend protests because it’s what they believe in is completely foreign to them. If it isn’t a personal grift, they don’t understand the motivation.

Police officers who publicly declare that they’ll quit if a mayoral candidate they dislike wins the election are (1) usually bluffing—sure buddy, toss away that paycheck and pension—and (2) exactly the sort of cops cities would be better off without, ones who don’t see themselves as public servants.

I'm far more concerned with this than I am with the Epstein files.

Kingsley Bimpong a Minnesota postal worker who was arrested for driving the wrong way due to a medical emergency (A STROKE) However officers assume he was on drugs🤔 and placed him in a cell & ignoring his calls for help. Racism is real against my ppl folks" no humanity,Test proved he had NO DRUGS😢

#WATCH | Heartbroken Palestinian father bids farewell to his son Saleh Al-Jaafarawi who was killed today by Israeli-backed gangs in Al-Sabra neighbourhood of Gaza City.

If they were forced to provide warrants, produce identification, or uncover their faces most of this would not be happening.

ICE GOONS, laughing and pepper spraying Pastor after shooting him in the face with pepper balls, proceeded to gas the crowd who were trying to protect him.

The only violence I’ve been seeing in Portland is from the so-called Feds!!! Keep sharing these videos; it’s evidence.

Dear Murkowski, Thune, Collins, Tillis, Ernst, Cassidy, Capito, When the ICEStapo shatters glass on a baby in a car seat… and pulls a zip-tie tight on a child’s hands… and throws a woman to the ground… Those are your hands doing the harm EVERY time in EVERY place. You have failed as humans.
