are shooters of priests ever the good guys throughout history

I want to see everyone involved in these deportations in prison. Every. Single. One.

Lots of Republicans are going to lose their seats over this budget - federal, state, and local. It will not cost Trump anything, other than finally some House oversight his last 2 years maybe. Which is how these things always go with Trump - others always pay for his sins.

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion. As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

How the media are gaslighting trans people

This president and his lieutenants are coming after every American who dares to speak out against them. I went to war three times for this country to defend the right of people to say things I may not like. We must protect free speech rights for ALL Americans.

WWII Antifa Warriors.

I booked a photo session tonight bc I have very few pictures of my family together, but while I’m smiling & holding my children, I know I will hear this mother’s screams. I don’t want my tax dollars supporting ICE agents dragging parents away from car line. And most moms in the US agree with me.

Why is not the National Guard being mobilised in states by the governors To combat this urgent threat to citizens To arrest & detain these masked weirdos who are running about with guns terrorising citizens. Find a masked gun man near a school or attempting home invasion? Lock them up, right?!

That sound you hear is plaintiff lawyers popping champagne corks and DOJ lawyers groaning.

Your grandfathers fought in two world wars for your right to wear an inflatable penguin/chicken/frog/unicorn/dino suit. Don’t let some dweebs who grew up on Call of Duty and Fox Late night intimidate you.

Welcome to America, where peaceful protesters get tear-gassed and thrown to the ground like ragdolls.

Grab the popcorn.

JB Pritzker: “Another thing that’s happened with very few people paying attention is they demanded our voter data. Not just ours in Illinois — every state’s voter data. Why? They won’t tell us why.”

Sometimes we need a moment, but if you tune out completely, they win. Fascism doesn’t need your support, just your silence.

And the lawsuits will follow promptly. Government shutdowns give presidents no additional authority to dismiss federal workers. We’ll fight these outrageous assaults on civil servants and public services.

MIT President Sally Kornbluth announced the university has rejected the Trump administration’s offer of federal funding tied to its agenda—making MIT the first to do so. She said accepting would compromise academic freedom and the school’s independence. apnews.com/article/mit-...

The random people who called into this C-SPAN session had better questions for Mike Johnson than most corporate media outlets

Donald Trump is not a king — and his administration is not above the law. Today, the court confirmed what we all know: there is no credible evidence of a rebellion in the state of Illinois. And no place for the National Guard in the streets of American cities like Chicago.

At least Trump got a free jet and a $5.5 billion golf resort in Qatar, so there’s that.

EL PASO — a family says ICE showed up at their house looking for migrants and shot and KILLED THEIR DOG, then didn’t help them as the agent ran away and was not identified. kfoxtv.com/news/local/e...

This sounds like they're gearing up for a violent crackdown. The talking points obviously went out.

I'm at the scene where ICE abducted multiple people from Lincoln and Foster this morning. A WGN producer was among the people taken, allegedly because she was among a group of bystanders who tried to intervene. ICE agents hit this car while making their getaway.

"After a few moments of laughter..." The No Kings organizers with a fun, tidy response to Mike Johnson's shenanigans.

Ah yes, paint it as anti-American even though it is only anti-Trump

Ok my brain is broken. www.alternet.org/msn-uk/trump...

WHAT THE FUCK? SERIOUSLY WHAT THE FUCK? WHAT THE FUCK WHAT THE FUCK WHAT THE FUCK!?!

“The room where we decide the Nobel Peace Prize is filled with courage and integrity.” Integrity over ego. Every time. 🕊️

The Venezuelan opposition politician María Corina Machado has won the Nobel peace prize for her dogged struggle to rescue the South American country from its fate as “a brutal, authoritarian state”. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/o...

It was never about “free health care for illegals.” This is always what it was about. They have no intention of “fixing” the ACA, they intend to defund it.

practically a requirement for this administration to be a sex pest

“The Founders would never believe that it would ever come to pass that one state militia could be sent to another state for the purposes of political retribution” THAT PART! Thank you, Judge Perry.

The Senate has just passed the military NDAA containing 2 anti-trans provisions: a surgery ban using federal funds (dependents too), and a sports ban on military academy spaces. This will be the STARTING point for negotiations with the House, which has even worse provisions. Only 20 Dems opposed.

I’m mildly surprised that Republican voters and America Firsters have bought Scott Bessent’s bullshit that American taxpayers aren’t shipping billions to Argentina to bail out the massive personal investments of Bessent’s friends. I guess loyalty to these crooks takes precedent.

If Trump can do this to Comey and Letitia James, he can do it to anyone. This is authoritarianism. We cannot be silent.

Edgy Schumer.

RFK Jr. has a new theory on autism. He thinks circumcision could be a factor. It confirms what many of us have suspected for a long time. They genuinely believe their brains are in their dicks.

What do you call a political system where those in power refuse to seat a duly elected member of the opposition party? Not a democracy that’s for certain.

This is so damn scary. The book claimed that Jeffrey Epstein was the one who introduced Donald and Melania. Now the CEO of Harper UK is out.

Turns out, the MAGA Supreme Court is the one interested in converting your kids through the use of quack doctors with medically unsound practices based on no scientific evidence. "Every accusation is a confession" with them. My latest in @thenation.com www.thenation.com/article/soci...

Another recession indicator for Trump and the Republicans to ignore

This is unconscionable- These masked men are using brute force to kidnap these women, screaming for "help" at the close of school. No warrants- no information...KIDNAPPING! #ProudBlue #DemVoice1 #Pinks #DV1 #Project2025 - this is #47's presidency.
