If you voted for him, you've done this.

I was back at 26 Federal Plaza today, where an ICE agent violently threw this bereft woman to the ground in front of her kids. She had not touched him. She did not pose any threat. She had to be taken to the hospital. (🎥: Elias Eliahu)

This Ukrainian orchestra created an overture imitating the sound of Russian Shahed drone attack. And I guarantee you it’s one of the most chilling things you’d ever hear. This is exactly how drone attack sounds like : the nauseating moped-like

New— Nazis with giant swastika flags marched in downtown Indianapolis on Saturday with two police escorts. They shouted “white power” and said to the woman who took this video (reshared here with her permission) “fuck you, n***** bitch.” Police did not intervene. I cannot find local news coverage.

Jeffries and establishment Dems following Trump's playbook. Take a clearly and easily verifiable fact, claim the opposite (a lie), sow confusion by flooding media & social media with the lie. WTF, Dems?

Staring deeply into this photo restores serotonin levels to factory presets.

It’s not hyperbole to say that the deaths in Minnesota are on the GOP’s hands. They’ve built this political environment and they’ve allowed a demagogue to spread hate. This is entirely on them.

Pathetic: ABC’s GMA, World News Tonight, This Week, CBS’ Mornings, Evening News, Face the Nation, NBC’s Today, Nightly News, Meet the Press, MSNBC, The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Los Angeles Times, and The Wall Street Journal all failed to cover Trump's new office for ethnic cleansing.

“You’re on the wrong side of history. You should be standing here with us… you took an oath to the constitution, not the fascists in the White House— he’s laughing at you… You’re tough behind your masks & fatigues, but how do you feel on the inside?”

Obv. Moran is absolutely right about this, but I'm impressed by how well he articulated his insights, esp. in re Miller's appearance. I probably would have said "He looks like Gollum" and counted on ppl getting it, but "his hatreds are his spiritual nourishment. He eats his hate" is just brilliant.
