the fact the president of the united states is even thinking about asserting emergency powers to disrupt an election - just a few years after he incited an armed coup attempt - should be the top issue. but the media mostly shrugs and the opposition doesnt focus on it.

only 0.04% of federal ballots were returned by non-citizens. the SAVE act does nothing but make it harder for women, non-binary, non-white, + low income people to vote in federal elections - and that is exactly the point.

this is not about red vs blue, this is about good vs evil. that being said, if you’re on the side of the pdf file (any of them, but especially the current POTUS), you’re on the wrong side.

i’ve said it before + i’ll say it again - they wouldn’t be trying to prevent people from voting if their policies actually benefited the people.

some people need a reminder : freedom of assembly + freedom of press are two of the MAIN reasons this country was founded in the first place.

Death Penalty Executions Nearly Doubled in 2025, Even as Support and Sentences Decline The U.S. carried out 47 executions in 2025—the highest total in years—despite falling public support, fewer death sentences, and growing evidence of racial bias, wrongful convictions, and political abuse of capital punishment.

More people were executed in 2025 than any year since 2009 — not because the death penalty is popular, but because a few state officials latched onto President’s Trump’s directive to embrace executions.

We must abolish the death penalty once and for all.

Reminder: ICE’s budget has not been renewed — the House voted, but not the Senate — It will take 10 Democratic votes to stop it

ICE just gunned down ANOTHER person, beating a man half to death before shooting him at point blank range. What the fuck are we doing?

ARREST ICE NOW. PROSECUTE ICE NOW.

I will not rest until every single one of these murderers is held accountable to the communities they terrorize.

BREAKING: The House passed a bill renewing ICE and CBP's already record-high budget — with no strings attached.

The Senate must reject this bill and rein in ICE’s abuses in our communities.

Minnesota officials renewed their calls on Friday for state agents to be allowed to help investigate the fatal shooting of a woman by an ICE officer earlier this week. State investigators so far have been denied access to evidence, they said.
