I'm shaking almost too hard to type. I entered SLC airport and heard screams and cries for help. I could see people gathered around, watching. I sped over to discover this woman face down on the floor, four grown men pushing her down, while she cried "HELP ME" and pled for her child.

This is how our government has been corrupted:

1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians to office
2) Elected officials rewrite rules in the donors' favor
3) Donors make huge profit
4) Repeat

We must get big money out of politics.

It is the root of our dysfunction.

I heard he did well on his MRI, too. Healthiest MRI ever. He’ll go toe to toe with any other politician’s MRI results. Because they all have affordable insurance.

Whenever people complain about the number of folks relying on food stamps, it is worth reminding them that SNAP is, by too large of a degree, a subsidy for corporations that refuse to pay a living wage and their political allies who reject public policy prescriptions to reduce income inequality.

My grandpa had a high school diploma and a union wage as a truck driver in Kansas City.

He made enough to let my grandma stay home with four kids and they still bought a house in the suburbs, had two cars, and sent one kid to private school and college.

That would never happen today but it should.

Headline reading “Trump Announces Tariff Increase on Canada Over Reagan Ad Spat.” Subheadline explains that an ad using 1987 Ronald Reagan audio arguing against tariffs will stop airing Monday. A play-button icon and text below indicate listeners can hear the article in 2 minutes, with a “Learn more” link. Black background with white text.

The reason why you don't allow a president to unilaterally decide tariff rates according to his whims is so we don't end up with mad king shit like this.

But have they tried compromising their values? I’ve heard voters love nihilists with no hope or vision for the future. 2026, baby!

Your regular reminder that we desperately need to overturn Citizens United and get big money out of politics.

It is among the worst Supreme Court decisions in history.

It corrupts our political system every day.

He might try to sell it. You know, when $38 trillion in debt doesn’t work out.

Maybe he’s turning the White House into an Epstein’s island. Where wealthy people go to have no accountability and indulge themselves.

On one day's notice, thousands of New Yorkers marched in NYC today for immigrants and against ICE.

More photos soon!

This bozo’s gonna be distributing blue tickets any day now. He doesn’t deserve the respect of anyone in the armed forces.

Literally destroying the symbols of our Democracy.

You’re buying private jets, detaining citizens, and assaulting peaceful protesters. How are you asking people to give up affordable health insurance? Learn shame.

Cops led us into the street as the new “protest zone” and then beat us repeatedly.

Got hit in the face with a baton. Leaving to pick up my friends who were arrested.

Stay safe out there.

Don’t tell the Nobel Committee.

"We can have democracy in this country, or we can have great wealth concentrated in the hands of a few, but we can't have both." –Justice Louis Brandeis

Words spoken many years ago that are just as relevant today.

We must continue the fight to get big money out of politics.

one of my takeaways from this great piece is that weiss just doesn’t…sound like an intelligent person? or at least, not someone who has thought even a little bit about how and why they think the things that they do. www.youtube.com/watch?v=gieT...

Um, ICE just coldly shot an unarmed PRIEST in the head w a pepper ball when he (and everyone around him) clearly posed no threat.

For the crime of … complaining about government policy.

Core 1A speech.

With cameras rolling, they’re sniping priests for sport.

Federal Agents Handcuff Chicago Alderperson At Hospital ER In another incident caught on video Friday, federal agents inside a car randomly threw tear gas into a Logan Square street while people — including a 2-year-old — were outside nearby.

Federal agents are overtly abusing their power to try to intimidate advocates and elected officials. We need ICE out of Illinois immediately and justice for people like Ald. Jessie Fuentes who are defending their communities.

Why are his companies getting gov’t contracts. He works on DOGE which is a gov’t agency. Right? DOGE replaced the US Digital Service. Did all the conflicts of interest people get fired?

what does an "unconstitutional DEI principle" mean in the context of a tunnel project? what, a black person is going to use it?

ICE agents assault amNewYork reporter at Federal Plaza immigration court; another journalist seriously injured after shove | amNewYork ICE agents assaulted amNewYork's own Dean Moses, and allegedly attacked another journalist, on Tuesday morning as they were documenting the ongoing arrests of

Five days ago, an ICE agent shoved a woman asking questions about the detention of her husband.

Today they attacked two journalists.

We cannot accept or normalize what has now become routine violence at 26 Federal Plaza. It has no place in our city.

YouTube video by Senator Bernie Sanders There are Two Americas

We are witnessing the rise of two very separate and distinct Americas:

One for the billionaire class. One for everybody else.

Our country is not supposed to be run by a handful of wealthy oligarchs while a majority of people struggle to afford the basic necessities.

We do not have to keep living like this.

What do we do? ICE is well funded, everywhere, and backed by the Dept of Defense. Congress and the Supr Ct aren’t stepping up.

Trump just ordered the military into Portland, and he’s giving them the green light to use lethal force on American citizens.

Authoritarianism is an abstract concept but Trump is making its impacts real and tangible. Let’s be real about it: This is the beginning of dictatorship in America.

Let's be clear: no one should be taking medical advice from the man who told Americans to inject bleach.

To moms worried about the Tylenol they took while pregnant: you deserve better than being RFK Jr's scapegoat.

And to the autism community: you are loved exactly as you are.

It’s tough these days seeing how much entertainment is detached from reality. Between news outlets, social media, and the politics of today, what’s our shared reality? It’s not like critical thinking and empathy are the only missing ingredients.
