This is brutal, but read it all the way to the end: The Trump administration is protecting these horrendous rapists, sex-traffickers, & child pornographers. It is Epstein on steroids. And it's happening right now. Call your representatives and ask what they are doing to stop it.

Immigrants do not have to contribute exceptionally to deserve safety Immigrants do not have to permanently grovel to their new country to justify their existence Immigrants are allowed to be just as mediocre, grumpy or homesick as anyone else

I thought people were kidding, turns out Elon really did axe the screwworm containment program back in March 25. fucking imbecile www.agri-pulse.com/articles/226...

Good morning! Since Trump was re-elected, Forbes estimates— 💰His net worth is up $1.8 billion, to $6.1 billion 💰Eric’s is up 10x, to $400 million 💰Don Jr.’s is up 6x, to $300 million 💰20-year-old Barron is worth $150 million And Jared became a billionaire last year. Have a great day!

Bless these people! This is how protests should be done, Americans! Spontaneously and without permission.

Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor torched the conservative majority for their ruling that lets Alabama employ a never-before-used map the Court itself found discriminates against Black voters. 600,000 voters reassigned. Court orders defied. Democracy "debased." https://bit.ly/3PYkagY

ProPublica’s reporting “reveals a staggering level of corruption and influence peddling that superseded this process, enriching the President Trump’s son at the expense of U.S. national security and taxpayer dollars,” lawmakers wrote. www.propublica.org/article/dona...

Roberts Court now engaged in blatant electoral warfare, doing everything it can to give Republicans as many seats as possible in midterms & completely erase Reconstruction amendments. If Dems don’t reform court when back in power there will be no democracy left to protect

This is why "moving to the center" and "get elected first, then maybe think about more radical things" is BULLSHIT. When evil is pushing, and you fail to push back because you're afraid of what people will think, what people actually think is THE EVIL THING MUST BE RIGHT.

The main challenge in political messaging that people don't seem to realize is getting it heard in the first place. The second problem is not, as centrists seem to believe, convincing voters that the status quo sucks. But rather that voting for you would improve it.

One reason I hate death penalty cases is that capital punishment is incredibly stupid and irrational. It's cruel, expensive, and serves no deterrent effect. It's rarely imposed, except against a tiny minority of unlucky defendants—and in those cases, racism almost always plays a role. Just end it.

one member of Los Angeles County's board of supervisors has more constituents than the U.S. senators of 12 states

NEW: I've filed a claim with Todd Blanche for compensation from the $1.776B slush fund for the unlawful investigation by the government into my podcast in August 2019. I'm seeking $8.647 million in compensation for weaponized lawfare - the equivalent of punitive damages, lost pay and retirement.

The fact that Thomas Massie lost a Republican primary because he wants pedophiles to face justice tells you everything you need to know about the state of the Republican party… Full stop.

MSM, some quick notes: 1. It’s not a settlement (the case was dismissed). 3. It’s not a ballroom (it’s a bunker). 3. It’s not a library (Trump said it will be a hotel). It matters that you get it right.

NEW: More Than 100,000 American Kids Have Had a Parent Detained in Immigration Sweeps, Report Estimates Far more American children have likely been separated from their parents during immigration sweeps than previously understood, according to a new Brookings report.

If you want to know who took your money, it's the people with all the money. That's how you can tell. Another brilliant entry in taking on this regime of the bullies for the billionaires. Bravo @samforstag.bsky.social C'mon Montana! www.youtube.com/watch?v=qHia...

They're stealing billions of your money to pay off violent right-wing psychos while doing everything in their power to spike gas up to $5 a gallon, make groceries into a luxury and hand the country over to the oligarchs who want to permanently replace you.

New from me: Why can't America have nice things like democracy? The answer is white supremacy. Let's talk about why the fight for a true multiracial democracy is the only way to get the America we want. www.altrightdelete.news/p/erosion

I’m gonna post this video every day so we NEVER FORGET what Donald Trump did to the USA on Jan 6th

The reason people keep doing crimes for Trump is that you get rewarded for doing them, congratulations to Colorado's Dem governor for making sure we get more people trying to overturn elections on his behalf bsky.app/profile/kyle...

Looks about right.

Feeling overwhelmed with all of this. LISTEN. Another Louisiana resident (Marshawn is the only name we have) testifies against the state’s racial gerrymander, speaking truth to power up and down the hearing room and predicts how this story will end. Speak your truth, fight and believe.

President Obama: “We pulled it off without firing a missile. We got 97% of their enriched uranium out. There’s no dispute that it worked and we didn’t have to kill a whole bunch of people or shut down the Strait of Hormuz.”

This. All of this. #Pinks #ProudBlue

"More than 10,000 times, judges have said those detentions, typically carried out with no opportunity for detainees to plead their case, were illegal. That’s roughly 90% of all cases — a staggering rejection of a core piece of Trump’s immigration agenda." https://politi.co/4u3pTAJ

“…the forces that stand today against …political representation for Black people won’t stop there…They seek a one party political system ruled by authoritarians. The political oppression of Black people is not the end. It is the conduit.”

There's been so much over 5 days, quick recap: —TN: GOP passed new map, erase Dem seat —VA: State SC struck down Dem referendum —AL: SCOTUS blessed GOP move to cancel ongoing elections, erase Dem seat —MO: State SC stalled veto referendum, allows GOP to end Dem seat —SC: Rushed GOP redraw derails

Historian of abolition here, history tells us how we got here, to put it succinctly “John Brown was hanged for treason and Robert E. Lee was not.”

6 years ago, I wrote that John Roberts, who craves to be ranked w J Marshall (or CE Hughes or E Warren) as greatest, institutionalist, consensus-building Chief Justice.. ...would instead challenge Roger "Dred Scott" Taney as worst + most partisan-hack chief. Now, no contest. Roberts beats Taney.

Louisiana is 33% Black and has six congressional districts. Yet in the past 149 years, they've just had 4 Black congressmen. All of whom are still alive. And that's too many for Louisiana's white Republican leaders.

Your vote is your ICE whistle, blow it. Your vote is your healthcare premium, lower it. Your vote is your pack the court demand, yell it. Your vote is your abortion access, claim it. Your vote is...

A lot of people in Minnesota feel the same way, Marco

Man, that sounds terrible. Killed with impunity by agents of the state for just being on the street and protesting? Hard to see how regimes like that can continue to claim a popular mandate.

JPMORGAN: “.. While the Trump 2.0 DoJ increased prosecution of immigration cases, it also terminated pending investigations involving organized crime, white collar crime, corruption, labor racketeering, violent crime, healthcare fraud and national security at a record pace.”

Democrats need to accept that they're entering a new era of procedural Total War. This includes a big escalation in redistricting, but it's not limited to that. If Republicans don't like it, tough shit: They made this world, and they are the ones inflicting it on us. newrepublic.com/article/2098...

"If you're a Democrat who can't decide between people and corporations, my humble suggestion is to get the f*ck out of the party." @mehdirhasan.bsky.social and @benmckenzie.bsky.social discuss the influence of the cryptocurrency lobby on the Democratic Party. Watch here: zeteo.com/p/ben-mckenz...

Not enough people are talking about this.     The Trump Administration is moving to cut benefits for up to 400,000 disabled Americans — people with Down syndrome, severe autism, dementia — for no other reason than that they live at home with their families instead of in an institution.

I have two daughters and I think about this all the time. I don't know how I will explain it to them when the time comes. bsky.app/profile/carn...

It’s extra important for your Members of Congress to hear from you right now. The GOP is trying to give ICE and Border Patrol up to $140 billion more to fund Trump’s concentration camps and militarized deployments to US cities. Urge your representative to vote NO on the reconciliation legislation.

I stand by calling Trump’s crypto scheme the "Mt. Everest of corruption." It was wrong when I protested it a year ago, and it’s wrong now. I’ll keep fighting to pass my End Crypto Corruption Act to stop the grift!
