Survivors — and family of survivors — of Epstein and Maxwell's abuse are urging Mike Johnson to swear-in Adelita Grijalva:

"Every day you stall is another day survivors are denied justice, and the American people are denied the truth. Swear in Representative Grijalva and let democracy speak."

Vladeck: Even if you accept the predicate that these drug cartels are foreign terrorist organizations, that still doesn’t get you anywhere close to legal authority to use military force. They’re trying to blur and sort of collapse the distinction between two regimes we have…

Dear New York, at the very least, please give wonderful Democratic Socialist Mamdani a massive landslide victory so that he has a mandate.

REV. BLACK (who was shot in the head with a pepper ball): “If this is what they’re doing to pastors, journalists, teachers, mothers, and the elderly gathered to sing and pray outside ICE facilities… what might they be doing to our neighbors who are behind those walls?”

While the top 1% control $54 TRILLION

(not a typo)

Did you know that over 1.3M active duty service members and veterans rely on SNAP benefits to feed themselves and their families?

Now you know.

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.

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 81st day out of the last 93.

12 days of work in over 3 months.

With full pay and benefits.

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

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

From the party who wants to track a woman's period. As if you ever needed more proof that they really don't care about life.

Literally

Those pics next to him shitting on people protesting and ICE zip tying a toddler should become forever the symbols of this regime.

Thou shalt not support a man who bulldozes the White House to build himself a golden ballroom whilst the government is shut down because he doesn’t want the financial records tying him to Jeffrey Epstein to come out.

Raskin: I heard speaker Mike Johnson refer to a hate America rally, but that one already happened on January 6th, 2021

Making Argentina Great Again

Mike Johnson has given the house a very very very very very very very very very long vacation because he’s worried about the Epstein files

OK, so our "Secretary of War" currently has two big priorities: (1) murdering innocent fishermen in the Caribbean, and (2) endangering the lives of commuters in Southern California.

Perhaps, we are seeing one of the downsides to having a drunk TV talk show chatterbox running our military.

Padilla: It’s not just undocumented folks who are being detained and arrested. It’s legal immigrants—even US citizens. We know of at least 170 US citizens who have been caught up in these raids and put in detention centers.

It’s the intended effect of this administration to stoke fear and terror

🤷🏼

Speaker Johnson, you ready to swear me in?

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion.

The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion.

Read that back.

When 400 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

The only violence I’ve been seeing in Portland is from the so-called Feds!!!

Keep sharing these videos; it’s evidence.

Move to rename Portland Trailblazers the Portland Frogs before the NBA season begins. All in favor…

This murder is why we still have to say BLACK LIVES MATTER

Kingsley Bimpong should be alive.

It’s the Feds making Portland look like a war zone— not the protesters.

And honestly, these protesters are brilliant. They’re flipping the whole authoritarian cosplay on its ass!

Reporters: stop using the deferential term "detaining" when talking about ICE goons' abduction of innocent people from US streets. You proper term would indeed by "abduction", but if you want to pretend neutrality you could use "capture", which at least says nothing about the captors' motives.

Actually circulating videos of Candace Owens that make her seem reasonable because she’s correct on *one* issue is not good work

Black Unemployment Is Surging Again. This Time Is Different.

Attacks on the federal workforce are also attacks on Black workers, who are overrepresented in the public sector.

Black unemployment is 7.5%. I'm reminded of Coates' observation that Black Americans regularly experience conditions that would be considered a crisis if whites faced them.

President Gustavo Petro of Colombia said his government believed one of the boats recently bombed by the United States in its campaign against alleged drug traffickers had been carrying Colombian citizens, not drug traffickers.

Small US college towns reel amid Trump immigration crackdown: ‘They need international students’

Four U.S. citizen children were detained in an ICE raid—zip-tied, separated, held for hours.

Imagine if these were your precious little ones! Can you close your eyes to this depravity? Please don't.

Remember

If this could happen to these little kids, it can happen to yours.

Speak out now!
