Shame is not a substitute for justice.

Jeffrey Bezos is destroying the Washington Post for the same reason Musk destroyed Twitter and Ellison is destroying CBS—oligarchs oppose the free press when if it threatens their wealth and power. They don’t want normal people to see what is happening in America.

worth noting that the second rich people stopped being afraid of mobs tearing them limb from limb, they stopped building libraries and opera houses and stuff and started ripping the copper wiring out of the walls of society instead

Unquestionably.

This tells you what you need to know about the motivations of the folks who were condemning MeToo and “wokeness.”

Stop saying underage women. They are children.

This woman has shown more courage than the nominal leaders of the Democratic Party.

Don't try to sell me that "most Americans are good people" if we have to win over Nazis to win elections.

Donald Trump didn't break the political system on his own. Our broken political system is why we have Trump.

If people would have believed Anita Hill.....you know what ....fuck that, how about people start believing women overall. If we had a shred of fucking respect for women in this country we wouldn't be on the verge of collapse now. These fucking monsters would be in jail and not running the government

People say that children are the future

I used to joke that I wish Trump would commit a crime in a country with a functioning system of justice because he would never see justice in America. Apparently that applies to wealthy pedophiles too. He should have had his offices in America where sex crimes against children are legal for rich men

Elon should have kept his offices in the United States where the legal system doesn't punish wealthy people for sex crimes against children.

They did that on purpose to intimidate witnesses. You know ....that thing that judge after judge let trump get away with while he was under gag order. It is so fucking galling how much shit Trump was allowed to get away with. Then people have the nerve to wonder how we got here.

This!!!!!

Either you support execution-style murders and the tear-gassing of children or you don't. This isn't morally nuanced. If you support Trump, you're a bad person who is a danger to the rest of us.

The "fairness in sports" narrative was always a trojan horse used to advance more regressive policies. That's why it pissed me off that dumbass Democrats like Newsom fell for it. My criticism of him isn't a "purity test", it is an intelligence test.

I might believe these Epstein allegations about Trump if he was accused in the past by 27 different women of sexual assault, found liable for it, bragged on tape/video about grabbing women, going backstage while girls were changing at pageants, and how hot his daughter was.

Absolutely disgusting.

You couldn't be more wrong. He is a successful criminal president. It is our Justice System that failed to keep a criminal from becoming president. Before anyone says shit about the voters; Voting isn't a remedy for criminality, you either have a rule of law or you don't.

Source: ICE to begin using empty Melania theaters as temporary detention facilities.

I hope that everyone that is mocking the FBI's raid of Fulton county understands that they are not doing it because of past elections. They are setting up disruptions for future ones.

🤭

I'm angry that it could have been prevented if our feckless Justice System applied the law to wealthy politicians in the same manner it is applied to us. A coup & Supreme Court bribery went unpunished. Before you blame voters; Voting isn't a remedy for criminality. You either have laws or you don't.

I can't be mad at the Supreme Court. Propublica exposed them taking bribes and absolutely nothing was done about it. We have earned the government we have now, through the inactions of the government we had previously.

Every politician in my lifetime that ran on a platform of being "tough on crime" has targeted the poor. Now that the white collar criminals, that receive endless leniency from the courts, are running the country; can we finally stop the lie that they are not threats to society?

Layoffs over the last year: UPS: 48,000 Amazon: 32000 Intel: 27,159 Microsoft: 15,387 Nestle: 16000 Verizon: 15000 Google: 12000 Chevron: 8000 Paramount: 7000 Walmart: 7000 P&G: 7000 Estée Lauder: 7000 Your reminder that massive corporate tax cuts don’t create jobs, they create profits.

No offense to Bruce, but this is the only anthem we need right now. youtu.be/bWXazVhlyxQ?...

I have been trying to scream from the rooftops for years that Trump was never the main problem. It was our corrupt Justice System that gave us Trump that is the problem.

Mind-blowing to see this Atlantic writer who won a Pulitzer for reporting on this topic arguing for night raids for ICE. As a *better* solution than what they're doing now. Night raids are *evil*. They're horrible. People *hate them*. I know that because I served in Afghanistan. Afghanistan ffs.

video of the moment a man tried spraying something at ilhan omar at her town hall in minneapolis tonight

Here's what ICE is up to in Northeast Minneapolis today. Absolutely heartbreaking. Warning: video is hard to watch

After being held in two of them as a boy, I fought for decades urging America to never again build concentration camps and put human beings in them. It breaks my heart to watch this happen twice now in my own lifetime.

We all know that the only praying Republicans do after a murder, is praying that the assailant is part of a community they routinely vilify.

Today's front page on @lemonde.fr

The body of Alex Pretti being wheeled out of VA Minnesota Hospital with saluting military nursing staff and "Taps."💔

The biggest risk in this moment is something sociologists call “symbolic compliance.” That’s when an institution that is violating civil rights gives the public just enough symbolic victories that accountability efforts lose steam before there has been any meaningful change.

NEW: A Texas county medical examiner found that Geraldo Lunas Campos was choked to death by a guard while he was held in ICE custody earlier this month. Geraldo is the sixth person to die in ICE detention this year.

Trump has never once hid who he was. Anybody that ever supported him absolutely signed up for the bigotry, the misogyny and the moral depravity. People may regret what they signed up for, but nobody can dare say they didn't sign up for it.

I will give Suozzi more credit than he gives himself. He knew what the vote was. He just figured the way to "win" was to support the funding because that's more "centrist" and buck the Democratic majority. But morally, he knew what this was about. He ended up wrong morally AND politically.

Abolish ICE is not enough. Stern words for Greg Bovino or Kristi Noem is not enough. We need prosecutions and trials. Anything short of this position fails to address the gravity of this moment.

Has there ever been a comedian that has been more prescient?
