I think we are going to have a Democratic-controlled Senate.

And all we will need for the leadership of that Democratic Senate to do is hold actual, real, impeachment trials.

As the Constitution requires.

Not the bullshit fake trials like the ones that the Senate held in 2020 and 2021...

It’s always annoying to see news channels in New Orleans do segments on anything to do with Rex. We all know what that Krewe is currently about and how it started.

Or... Hear me out on this one... We stop having political dynasties.

Everyone making noise about Olympic Skater Ilia Malinin (a white dude) pulling off the first legal backflip in competition as if he is a revolutionary skater needs to remember Surya Bonaly (black girl) completed a backflip in the 1998 Nagano Winter Olympics and was penalized for it
I call Bullshit

I’m suddenly reminded of the fact that one of the local Barnes and Noble were promoting that Melania book like it was a new release and it wasn’t. Now they are doing the same with that dead man with the hole in his neck.

The Washington Post died in 2024. Why are people acting like this is new.

Getting through Kamala’s book and I agree, I wouldn’t have picked Shapiro either. He was very much in it to be seen and for the fame.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Claudette Colvin, whose refusal to move seats on a segregated bus helped spark the civil rights movement, dies at 86.

Everyday is just a new, fresh hell we have to deal with.

Whistleblower drops 'largest ever' ICE leak to unmask agents: 'The last straw' A Department of Homeland Security whistleblower has released the identities of about 4,500 ICE and Border Patrol employees Tuesday in what has been called potentially the largest agency data breach fo...

Someone inside DHS leaked the names of 4,500 ICE and CBP officers to a nonprofit that tracks ICE. About 80 percent of those name are active.

Rep. Ayanna Pressley releases report showing Trump clemencies mostly benefited the white and wealthy U.S. Rep. Ayanna Pressley released a first-of-its-kind analysis report on President Donald Trump's clemency actions since entering office in January.

My report makes it plain: Trump has used his pardon power to reward political allies, corporations, & insurrectionists—ignoring the people who need it most.

He must change course and prioritize clemency for people directly harmed by mass incarceration & systemic injustice.

Despite what we are often told, this line from Mamdani’s inauguration speech is what true pragmatism actually looks like:

“Beginning today, we will govern expansively and audaciously. We may not always succeed. But never will we be accused of lacking the courage to try.”

Trump defends Mohammed bin Salman over the 2018 murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi:

"A lot of people didn't like that gentleman... Things happen... He knew nothing about it."

A US intelligence report concluded that bin Salman personally "approved an operation" to "kill or capture" Khashoggi.

🚨🚨 ICE ALERT 🚨🚨

ICE agents have been reported in the Boone (NC) and adjacent areas. They are targeting Christmas tree farms, conducting Kavanaugh stops, and are waiting outside certain stores.

Warn anyone who needs to be. Remember ICE can’t come on your private property w/o judicial warrants.

Seems like a good day to remind everyone that Jared Kushner advised Saudi Crown Prince MBS on how to “weather the storm” after his hit squad slaughtered American journalist Jamal Khashoggi.

You can love someone you love even if you don't love yourself🏳️‍⚧️
But if you love yourself, you can love both yourself and the person you love. Your love becomes twofold.
So take care of yourself.
Your soul is beautiful.

USCIS isn’t getting a bonus because dog killer Kristie took the money to pay for more lazy ass ice agents.

Teaching about the jury today and reading “Why Jury Duty Matters” again.

It is a book that should be at the center of civic and democracy debates. Perhaps today more than when it was written, it offers a path forward. #Books

Some field directors at USCIS are allowing ice to just come in a pick up people after their immigration interviews. The lazy people that work for ice love sitting there in the office waiting for people. The field directors can deny them access but some love to help torment people.

Those assholes better not vote yes. You would have essentially held out for nothing.

Pay attention to what Democratic candidates are saying right now. Find and support the fighters. Having a spine must be a litmus test issue in 2026 and beyond.

Right now in Chicago there are some paid “actors” out here to “thank” RFK….the vaccine denier and the loser with no background in health policy. If you see these losers walk away and do not engage.

They started using ServeU around 2019/2020 or somewhere in that area. And now there’s an outage. Maybe that unqualified woman going around taking pics shouldn’t has misappropriated the funds. Spending it on ICE/gestapo to throw people into concentration camps while everything else is broken.
