My dad abhors any negative comments about immigrants. Asked him recently why he’s so strong on it: ‘Because we’re always happy to take the rich and clever ones. Which means it’s not about disliking immigrants. It’s about disliking the poor and vulnerable. And that’s a bad human instinct.’

i think to understand the meaning of the birthright citizenship clause to the framers of the 14th amendment, you have to understand significance of dred scott to the civil war republican party. dred scott wasn't just a bad ruling, it was understood as a rejection of the declaration itself.

For sale, Antitrust Act, never used.

Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries: “Strong floor, no ceiling” Colombian President Gustavo Petro: “A clan of pedophiles wants to destroy our democracy.”

The guy shot two random people with a gun, I don't think you can say he wasn't assimilating into our culture

America is a man putting a foil-wrapped plate in a microwave

I wonder if the DC shooter had family members sent back to the Taliban

Q: Why did Donald Trump bury Ivana on one of his golf courses? A: So he could still cheat on her.

Income inequality is higher in the US today than it was in 1774, even if you factor in slavery.

Lead is the skeleton key for understanding 21st century America.

Making a bogey man out of socialism at a time when we’re all being slowly murdered by a toxic cocktail of fascism and capitalism is…a choice.

The "tetraethly lead made gen X into fascists" idea is so much funnier once you look at the chemical structure

The Zohran press conference is your regular reminder that the entire administration folds like tissue paper at the slightest hint of confidence and conviction, and thus the fact that national democrats are playing a game of capitulation and weakness is exactly why they're all getting away with it

they should invent an elite who isn't stupid and evil

idc if he's a big dem donor, if reid hoffman had sex with children on epstein's island he should go to jail for rape and if he didn't then the truth needs to come out and he should only go to jail for creating linkedin

this is a far more explicit death threat from people with the actual means to carry it out

anyone who talks about birthrate decline in the West without mentioning immigration as a solution is a white supremacist.

the biggest lesson from the emails today is that powerful people are so unafraid of consequences for crimes as bad as “raping children” that they will just talk about it openly in emails the only path to a better society is one where that is no longer true

You know who's the real winner in all of this? Medical tourism.

seems to me that those democrats inclined not to fight perceive themselves as living through a somewhat ordinary cycle of presidential overreach and backlash and not something much more significant and dangerous

They shut down the government for nothing. Literally nothing.

John Fetterman is like if you asked AI to make an unlikable American Shrek.

Anyway a great way to radicalize people is for them to realize that you just abandoned their chance at being able to access and afford health care because you didn’t like waiting in line at the airport.

These politicians aren't in disarray. They fucking hate you. They don't work for you.

ICE deported him anyways. They literally put a man who was at death’s door on a plane to Costa Rica. Doctors there found he had encephalopathy, rhabdomyolysis and the inability to eat on his own. What happened to him in ICE custody to cause this? He died a few weeks after deportation:

i can’t believe a good thing happened we should do this more often

NEW: Accused Terrorgram leader Matthew Robert Allison asks a judge to throw out his case because his court-appointed lawyers aren't getting paid Although the chances of dismissal are remote, this highlights a real problem — Congress' failure to fund indigent defense www.rawstory.com/raw-investig...

The next liberal SCOTUS should find a common law & constitutional right to demand personal damages from officers who deliberately break the law. And then it can be applied to every goddamn Gestapo thug committing obvious crimes in broad daylight.

Moving on from Kavanaugh Stops to Kavanaugh Shootings.

ICE shot an American citizen and food bank worker who tried to block them arresting an immigrant by pulling his car in front of them. After being released from hospital: "He is now facing charges for assault on a federal officer." www.calonews.com/featured-top...

I WANT MY TAX MONEY PAYING FOR KIDS TO EAT LOBSTER AND STEAK AND COOKIES, NOT PAYING TO BOMB PALESTINIAN AND SUDANESE KIDS AND INVADING VENEZUELA.

Nothing says 'good Christian' like taking food out of children's mouths while you're firing up the nukes.

They’re pushing poverty and a police state while they build a golden ballroom.

At least 3,000 people who have been detained in Chicago ICE raids are missing from official DHS records. We still don’t know what happened to the 1200 people who went missing from the Everglades facility. They’re disappearing people. No due process. No accountability.

A lot of the brutal tactics we’re seeing used by ICE and the other Trump thugs are simply the same old tactics we’ve seen from too many police for too many years. False reports, false charges, outright fraud, all to justify brutal suppression of constitutionally-protected protest.

This case underscores how SCOTUS made it impossible to hold immigration cops accountable for the abuses you see in all those videos. A federal task force cop manufactured evidence to put an innocent woman behind bars for two years. Because of SCOTUS-conferred immunity, the case never got to a jury.

This happened in Northern California. Silvia Reyna Mendoza was deported after reporting years of harassment by an ICE contractor. KCRA aired about story her harassment on Thursday night last week. She was deported on Friday morning. This story ⤵️ aired on Monday, the 27th.

i think it's cool that the president doesn't seem to realize that he should probably hide the fact that they were testing brain function impairment

No wonder the GOP is trying to fuck the ACA, it’s 14 years old

“the president got mad at a television commercial so now your maple syrup is more expensive” is no way to run a country

primary every democrat who doesn’t pledge to abolish ICE

A lot of folks may think that just yelling at ICE agents is ineffective, but consider the cumulative psychological toll of being yelled at EVERY DAY when trying to do shit. Even the biggest asshole in the world who doesn't give a shit about other people will feel the pressure.

Thank you, Chicago.

Do this everywhere. Not a moment of peace. Never serve them food. Don't pump their gas. Tow their cars. Keep them awake at the hotels they stay at. Never a moment of peace.
