The golden age of corruption.

"We live in a society where we've basically become totally callous to the idea that someone can gun down eight kids...and that's just the way of life. We deal with it and we move on, because we have become accustomed to it." @samsteindc.bsky.social on America's numbness to mass shootings.

A mass shooting that took the lives of eight children should stop this country in its tracks. Instead, the Shreveport tragedy disappeared from the headlines in a day. We cannot allow this level of violence to fade into background noise. Ending America’s gun‑violence epidemic is a moral oblligation.

This guy is definitely not a Fox News viewer.

The Middle East is full of religious extremists who blindly revere evil men. Oops! I meant *The United States* not The Middle East.

Most honest reporting in the past few weeks.

Thune has the votes to override a veto if he needed to so that TSA, etc., could be funded. The GOP too cowardly to do it.

Eric Swalwell — “I don't say this lightly: when we escape this trump hell there needs to be a Presidential Crimes Commission. It should be made up of independent prosecutors who look at those who enabled a corrupt president."

I want to see him hauled before Congress to testify and all his corruption exposed.

Our Pulitzer-winning "Friends of the Court" series began with this story that revealed how SCOTUS Justice Clarence Thomas had, for 20+ years, been treated to undisclosed luxury vacations by real estate titan and GOP megadonor Harlan Crow. (Published April 2023)

Covering up a decades-long worldwide child sex trafficking/pedophile ring in which Trump and several of your closest colleagues (yourselves included) frequented is NOT a wise decision. It is actually a crime with very serious WORLDWIDE consequences. There is NO immunity from public opinion.

Good morning and Happy Wednesday 👋 We had many parties last night if you want to review the lists for new friends. My priority on BS is connecting resisters so if you follow me and want my help comment or leave a meme. I help build accounts by putting you in my starter packs or boosting you. 🔂

On Jan 26, an explosive device was allegedly thrown into a crowd of peaceful protesters in Perth. Acts of violence or attempted violence like this are unacceptable. This sort of event should be viewed as an act of terrorism and treated with the gravity it deserves by state and federal police forces.

Chris Murphy: "This is really scary because what Bovino essentially told you is that if you just happen to be present when they are undertaking an operation, if you pull out your phone to record it, the use of force against you is justified. That is not true, it's not what the law says."

Can't say it often enough: every Trump administration accusation is a confession.

apnews.com/article/ice-... “Homeland Security refused to release more information, unless the tribe “entered into an immigration agreement with ICE”

Pritzker: The Insurrection Act is designed for circumstances where your rights can’t be protected by local authorities This is exactly the opposite. Your civil rights are being infringed upon by CBP and ICE, and then they want to call in troops claiming that they’re protecting CBP and ICE.

It seems as though ICE has been instructed to escalate the violence to justify more violence, and to create propaganda to make us forget we outnumber them 10,000 to 1.

Walz: "What's happening in MN defies belief. News reports simply don't do justice to the level of chaos & disruption & trauma the federal govt is raining down... This long ago stopped being a matter of immigration enforcement. Instead, it's a campaign of organized brutality against the people of MN"

Yes, JD. Let’s ask them if they think a stay at home mom, avowed Christian, and widow of a veteran deserved to be shot in the face and left to bleed out in her own car after dropping her 6-year-old off at school, for the crime of looking out for her neighbors. Let’s ask everyone running for office.

When and if sane and honest people ever again control the U.S. government, one of the first things they should do is enact a tax on large accumulations of wealth. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/if-the-market-were-working-well-we

How we beat back the corporate takeover of America: 1. Break up corporate monopolies 2. Continue building union power 3. End Citizens United and get big money out of politics Let’s keep working to unrig the system.

Written in the style of someone recently jilted who also got fired the same week.

There are a lot of files in this new dataset that have made me feel this way. I’m still making my way through DataSet 8, but this is some vile shit.

Trump has done irreparable damage to our reputation.

Incredible footage out of Australia, confirmed by NEWS AU, of a brave bystander neutralizing one of the terrorists in the Bondi Beach attack which took place during a Hanukkah gathering. Australian authorities say multiple people have been killed. At least two suspects are in custody.

Buttigieg on Indiana: "The big part of how Trumpism works is to make you feel totally disempowered. To make him feel inevitable. And yet the clear takeaway from this is he is not unstoppable and you are not without power."

Nixon didn’t go to prison over Watergate, but 48 others were convicted and served time for the scandal - notably, his Attorney General. Attention: Pam Bondi meet John Mitchell.

This should be the biggest story in the country right now. The sitting US President was extorting state lawmakers from his own party by threatening to withhold public money if they didn’t gerrymander for him. I don’t know how else to say it…

Not only is ICE snatching hard working people who are trying to earn a living, they’re taking their money too? A witness recorded ICE agents taking a cash box from a taco stand in La Puente during an operation where four people were arrested.

Special Counsel Jack Smith's investigation used unsealed documents showing that Trump-aligned political action committees (PACs) and the campaign's general fund paid millions to organizers of the Jan. 6 "Save America" rally, including funds for travel, hotels, and a busing program for attendees.

This disgusting treatment of children is also condoned by EVERY SINGLE GOP CONGRESS MEMBER. They could stand up and stop this. They do not care.

This is not just a current political issue. Charging & punishing these particular perpetrators is vital to keeping the fight against the ongoing abuse & killing of women & children by men in the spotlight. "Me Too" was only a start.

Hey you missed a spot

Oh burn of the century.

Folks this is our president????? SAD!

"... and it exposes the bankruptcy of western journalists, whose primary attributes are careerism and cowardice." – Chris Hedges #FuckIsrael

White male pedo alert. Both.

A library director in Wyoming who was fired two years ago because she refused to remove books with sexual content and LGBTQ themes from a library’s children and young adult sections was awarded $700,000 in a settlement on Wednesday.
