πŸ‘€The federal judges in West Virginia, where ICE has been pulling over and detaining people on the freeway, are literally screaming about ICE's tactics.

"It is an assault on the constitutional order," Judge Goodwin says. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

🚨BREAKING: Democratic lawmakers and pro-democracy advocates are intensifying scrutiny of the coordination between the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) and an advocacy group looking to overturn election results, disclosed in a recent Trump administration court filing.

Usually, when I need an appointment at the VA, I can get one within 2 weeks. Today, I called for an appointment and the next available is in May, 2026. Firing 35K people will do that. The Trump administration hates veterans.

TRUMP'S NOT YOUR TYPICAL BIGOT, but a FASCIST BIGOT! The difference being that DJT, like Hitler and other Fascist demagogues before him, INTENTIONALLY sows fear/hate/bigotry/racism/xenophobia/otherness/social division as a means to acquire & maintain power, via ANY MANNER OF CHAOS & SOCIAL DIVISION.

How to Get Rid of "Citizens United" We can do away with it without a new Supreme Court. Nor do we need a constitutional amendment. There’s a far simpler way.

If you’re looking for something to do, start working on overturning citizens united in your state. States control the power corporations have. Take their political power away with a ballot initiative. Here’s how: open.substack.com/pub/robertre...

How are they claiming this is a suicide when the man was hogtied? How does one hogtie themselves and then get their neck into a noose and hang themselves while hogtied? This is an absurd claim. Someone else did that to him.

ICE is inflicting a lifetime of trauma on families. And it’s being carried out in the name of the United States of America.

Senate Dems, do not cave. Ensuring healthcare premiums don’t surge is an 80-20 issue. They want to gut the ACA because their disdain for Obama far outweighs their concern for anyone’s health.

Musk is on his way to becoming the world’s first trillionaire

He could have done so much good… or just paid a fair share of taxes

He chose to kill USAID, which has already caused the deaths of 600,000 people, two-thirds of them kids

Zohran Mamdani ran on freezing the rent in NYC.

Abigail Spanberger ran on supporting fired federal workers and lowering the cost of living in VA.

Mikie Sherrill ran on lowering utility bills in NJ.

Ensuring people can afford to live a decent life is the path forward.

I know times are rough for everyone (including those of us on SNAP benefits) but I could really use the funds. The β€œPay what you want” option has been lowered to $25 for the time being.

Shares are appreciated! Thank you~πŸ–€

I haven’t seen anyone talk about how Jane Doe - an Epstein survivor - just sued the Bank of New York Mellon for funding Epstein and failing to file a Suspicious Activity Report. A Mellon heir is the one who gave $130M to pay the troops. Seems bribey to me.

Families are already hanging by a thread, but the sad truth is it’s about to get a lot worse when SNAP benefits don’t go out in November.

It’s time to find our local food banks and help out with donations and volunteer hours if you are able.

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 79th day out of the last 91.

The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown.

It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

As Some Dems Run From Trans People, Zohran Mamdani's Latest Ad Shows Real Support The 2 minute ad features Sylvia Rivera's story, Mamdani's commitment to transgender people, and even music from the legendary late trans artist SOPHIE.

1. As some Democrats have run from transgender rights, Zohran Mamdani is showing what so many others have lacked: courage to lead with his values over pandering to focus groups.

The ad is one of the best things I've seen from a politician on transgender people.

This is exactly why ICE needs to be unmasked and ID’d β€” like cops.

πŸ“Œ Cases of ICE impersonators this year alone outnumber the last four presidential terms combined.

Enough of his fuckery.
Motion to vacate!! There's 217.5 members that will be on board.
Clearly he is not serving the public, only krasnov. Crazy hill to die on. But he has the ethics and morals of an alleycat. And the smugness to go with!

You’re going to be hearing a lot more about this.

Nick Fuentes & Groypers believe the β€œideal woman” is a man. They hate women so much they groom fem-boys.

MAGA see Tyler Patterson’s partner is β€œtransitioning” and assume he’s far left. That’s way off. He’s so far right it goes over MAGA’s head.
