And it’s getting worse!! #USDemocracy

Corporates for reasons unknown to me want to play pat a cakes with fascists. If they spent the same energy on fighting maga as they do being rude as fuk to progressives they may not have lost twice to one of the most corrupt malevolent pos on planet Earth!

The reason why ICE agents continue to shoot people is because nothing ever happens to them when they do. They essentially have been granted full immunity for whatever they choose to do to people by a lawless regime of thugs.

This morning in Biddeford, Maine, a 26-year-old man said goodbye to his wife and daughter and left for work. Moments later he was dead, shot in the head by ICE agents, the second man ICE has killed in six days. ICE is killing our neighbors. ICE cannot be reformed. Abolish ICE.

She voted for this Over and over and over and over and over and over and over again, she voted for this Never forget and never forgive

the sole purpose of originalists' preoccupation with history and tradition is reproducing historical hierarchies of oppression they are happy to discard history as soon as it doesn't serve that purpose I know I've told y'all this before bookshop.org/p/books/the-...

At the risk of sounding like a broken record, there can be no mainstreaming of far-right politics without the active complicity of the mainstream elite The rise of the far right is therefore not irresistible, inexplicable or people-driven but carefully orchestrated in a top down manner

Maine is in absolute outrage! Protesters took over Senator Susan Collins’ office chanting "VOTE HER OUT" after an ICE thug brutally executed a 26-year-old Colombian man. We demand immediate accountability for this state-sponsored murder! Enough is enough!

I see that "it's okay to be a (masculine cis heterosexual) man" is quickly becoming the Democratic version of the "it's okay to be white" kind of motto that Republicans beat them to first

Millions of people do good in their communities every single hour and if we uplifted each example, we would drown out those who spend their time doing evil. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/11/n... - RIP to both of these men.

Democratic politicians telling us today how sad they are about Lindsey Graham's death because he purportedly had such a "great sense of humor" are why Democrats are currently struggling with a base angry and resentful at the evil agendas promoted by the likes of vile toadies like Lindsey Graham.

I admire and love Hunter. This is how you respond to all the evil. What a guy.

The White House was never supposed to be a palace. George Washington and architect James Hoban deliberately rejected the lavish style of European monarchies. Instead, they designed a President’s House that reflected the ideals of a republic: dignified, restrained, and accountable to the people.

"You are not alone. What you are experiencing is happening to enormous numbers of people right now, quietly, in homes all over the country and the world, and the isolation you feel is itself a symptom of the thing, not a truth about your situation." tomwellborn.substack.com/p/fighting-t...

COLUMN: "Democrats are unlikely to ever play by Trump Rules. When they have tried, as Graham Platner did, it typically just doesn’t work," writes John Harris. "Simply put, on questions of political accountability, the parties live in different universes." 🔗 politi.co/4pbRFcV

Let's face it: ICE is *not* a law enforcement agency. It is a ragtag collection of angry, arrested development vigilantes and malcontents that has gone "Lord of the Flies" on us.

Given that Trump seems to trying to recycle Red-baiting, came across this zippy little number to share: www.youtube.com/watch?v=63Tk...

Unfortunately, time to reboot this one: www.youtube.com/watch?v=LoOL...

After a months-long occupation, Minnesota is still recovering from a retribution campaign waged by the federal government. Now, Minnesota stands with Houston in demanding accountability for the fatal shooting of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo. This bloodshed cannot be normalized.

Regarding Platner and this whole current *~*situation*~* of Dems hunting for candidates, I repost this one more time. open.substack.com/pub/danielle...

"They weaponized their vehicle" has become the ICE version of the Gestapo's "shot trying to escape." Thanks to cowardice and a breakdown of oversight by Congress, media, and major institutions, we have been bullied into accepting summary executions by federal officers. #IceOutNow

The family of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo is asking for help with funeral and burial costs, legal expenses, everyday living costs, and the wife’s needs, who has lost her lifelong companion and sole provider.

"DO AS THEY SAY AND YOU WON'T GET HURT" IS ADVICE MEANT FOR HOSTAGES, NOT CIVILIANS CONFRONTED BY ICE.

This has to END NOW! Lorenzo Salgado Araujo spent 35 years building homes and supporting his family, only to be killed on his way to work. ICE’s "self-defense" claim cannot just be taken at face value. We need a completely independent investigation and full transparency now. JUSTICE NOW!

This point needs to be made over and again: The main purpose of wealth taxes should not be to raise revenue. That's a small and secondary benefit. The main purpose should be to *reduce the fortunes of the ultrarich*. Why? Because those fortunes present a massive threat to democracy and public life.

ICE has not quieted down. It’s even worse. It’s just become less visible and less covered by the media. Here's what you should know. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/ice-is-even-worse

God the news this morning on Iran/Ukraine/NATO/everything is just so depressing. It's hard not to be jaded and numb but it is really awful what this one man has done with all that power.

ICE is not about immigration. ICE is not about the southern border. ICE is about normalizing paramilitary force on our streets. It cannot be reformed. It cannot be retrained. ICE must be abolished.

Evergreen post: He could be impeached tonight and convicted at trial in a few weeks and removed from office immediately thereafter if about 20 people in DC decided to put country over party for the first time in their miserable, self-dealing lives

Amazing that people are still trying to sell "but the Court didn't do everything Trump wants" takes when it is exactly one vote away from rejecting the most basic rule of American citizenship.

Only if you believe that the goal of DOGE was to actually reduce the deficit If, on the other hand, you believe the purpose of DOGE was to get the destruction of our government started so Trump could replace it with a white nationalist apparatus loyal only to him, it was a resounding success

I 🤎 this depiction. The ancestors are telling us something.

Centrist Democrats: "Nothing can be done except for more tax cuts. Also we love the police, the military and some wars. Also we will say 'kitchen table issues' twice a day. Vote for us."

A photo of a Black woman surrounded by members of a white supremacist group on a Washington, D.C., train has gone viral, with several users suggesting it's the "defining" picture of America today. www.yahoo.com/news/us/arti...

They hate him because he’s wildly popular and, more important, because he’s doing a great job.

PASTOR LORAN LIVINGSTON (@CentralChurchNC): “There has never been a Christian nation, and never will be. You don’t live in one now. A Christian nation wouldn’t have killed and displaced 20 million Native Americans, or thought owning slaves was pleasing to God.”

Trump built the "America 250" nonsense around graft, incompetence, and deception because it's literally the only way he knows to do business.

Calling someone a "communist" in 2026 is about as meaningful as accusing them of being a Whig or a Jacobin.

💯. This means democratic socialists and hard core progressives need to vote for the Dem who can win when push comes to shove. Also moderate and establishment democrats need to get behind and vote for progressive democrats and democratic socialists when they can win. No GOP wins can happen.

Don’t lose the good Looking for perfect

Come one, come all to see the amazing Wheel of MAGA Distractions. The perfect diversion for Trump's never-ending barrage of corruption, grifts and donations. Paid-MAGA quickly complies with rage propaganda to distract the media and general public. #TrumpRepublicanCorruption

If only the "centrist" Dems could summon as much passion over ICE murdering people or the killing of school children as they do over a few democratic socialists winning primaries in deep blue districts.

I miss the great American tradition of not thinking about the president constantly.

trump is stealing a golf course used by ordinary washingtonians and giving it to his rich friends

Sen. Chris Murphy: "Right now the biggest threat to this country are not a handful of House candidates in New York, it is the president of the United States who is trying to destroy American democracy."
