I try not to dabble in pointless conspiracy theories that I don’t really know a ton about but one thing I’m ok with admitting is I don’t quite buy the official narrative of Sam Cooke’s death

There are too many stories to count of this administration actually keeping these β€œillegal aliens” on American soil much longer than they otherwise would have, because in the end β€œself deportation” isn’t enough for this gang running the government

they are correct but another aspect to this is the deportation program is actually a jailing-indefinitely program. So many of the people they’re trying to cleanse are just sitting in cells or camps because there’s no enough flights in this far right, hastily stitched together campaign of…

Texas Republicans have a brazen new plan to block Democrats from retaking the House in 2026 β€œThe partisan effects of the maps are achieved by discriminating against communities of color."

Texas congressional districts:

Whites 40% population but majority in 60% districts

Hispanics 39% of pop but majority in 18% districts

Blacks 12% of pop but majority in 0% districts

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s statement:

Marjorie Taylor Greene's amendment does nothing to cut off offensive aid to Israel nor end the flow of US munitions being used in Gaza. Of course I voted against it.
What it does do is cut off defensive Iron Dome capacities while allowing the actual bombs killing Palestinians to continue.
I have long stated that I do not believe that adding to the death count of innocent victims to this war is constructive to its end. That is a simple and clear difference of opinion that has long been established.
I remain focused on cutting the flow of US munitions that are being used to perpetuate the genocide in Gaza.

I see the misinformation machine is kicking up to support Marjorie Taylor Greene’s Israel amendment.

Advocates have a responsibility to be clear about what legislation does and doesn’t do. Her amendment did NOT cut off offensive aid to Israel. We shouldn’t pretend it does.
