Remind every ICE agent and DHS agent that the very paycheck they are collectingβ€”not for deporting the criminals they promised during the election, but people here trying to do it the right wayβ€”ties them to this regime forever. Good luck at the trials. That mask can't hide that SS# on the paycheck.πŸ–•

This administration is flooding the zone so furiously that people have largely lost track of the lethal attacks on boats in the Caribbean, the gov’t shutdown, the economy, failed release of the Epstein files & so much else. It’s a tactic of would-be strongmen.

By all means, indict Jack Smith on bullshit allegations and give him the trial that SCOTUS denied him.

Poke the bear, Donnie. See what happens.

I will never understand why the God they fear doesn't just zap them out of existence for the constant lying. King of Medicare grift says what?

As if irony isn’t already dead, the Hatch Act violation on the DOJ website, which blames Democrats for the shutdown, appears on the page advising DOJ employees they are subject to the Hatch Act. joycevance.substack.com/p/a-note-abo...

Might it be that The First Felon used what he found out with his pal Jeff to blackmail his way into office. He never thought the leopard would eat his face. His split with his BF Jeff certainly wasn't over real estate. A guy like the felon can't run an op like Epstein did without running his mouth.

I hope he goes to prison and his orange suit says "Fucking Liar" on the back. I hope he doesn't kick off before he gets to suffer. I hope he goes like his mentor Cohn. No better fitting ending than to be eaten alive from the inside out by your own bile. May he rot and stew in it. #TaxWealthNotWork

I know this feeling. My own son is a Rogan/Tech bros who voted against his lesbian parents because he was promised bitcoin would make him rich. We knew he was gone when he called Harris "stupid." He says he'll protect us & we are alarmist in the same breath. Protect us from? Yeah, it's that logic.

A pattern is developing where everyone who fights back against a Trump attack inevitably wins with their reputation much better than before, and everyone who caves to him looks like shit and has Trump coming back for more a month later.

Why shouldn't it be costly to them? It's costing us. Freedom is not free, as the Right likes to remind us. Disney can afford to take a hit more than the hispanic mother that lives behind me, working two jobs, and trying to keep her family safe. Disney is cowardly capitulating to keep profit margins.

I wonder if it has crossed the minds of the ICE employees who are black and brown that there will come a day when the bounty hunters turn on them?

I realize journalist must make a living. That said, when the information is behind a paywall, the people that need to hear it aren't buying it. Elites with disposable income are informed, sure, but the scraping-by folks that need the info are not. That's why the news should be free and independent.

My party since I turned 18 and I'm looking to put my votes elsewhere because of spineless bull shit like this.

People seem to forget Charlie Kirk needed me to oppose him. They all do. It's good for ratings to have a sixty-something, pro-choice, pro-women, pro-DEI, anti-racist, pro-trans, cat lady, lesbian call out their agenda. They wouldn't exist without someone to hate. Meanwhile, the rich get richer.

Heads up y’all ⬆️

The right is pushing for doxxing of anybody making insensitive Kirk comments.

They are actively reaching out to employers in masse..

People are losing jobs and/or being disciplined..

Protect yourselves and your family..

A homeless woman walks out of my neighborhood every a.m., dressed for work and pulling a suitcase on wheels. Her situation is that of many. She climbs out of that tent and goes to a job that doesn't pay a living wage. She has more admirable qualities than the entirety of Fox News. #TaxWealthNotWork

Sitting here watching these cops take credit for a superior "incredible" team solving the crime, when it was the father who called in on his son who confessed, is the type of the spin and bull shit that follows this regime. They will blame who they want with no regard for who this kid really is.

The gun lobby will have to defend the right of the Kirk shooter to own weapons. They don't mind defending the right of the murderers of Democrats and school children to have a weapon. When the regime comes for the guns, the most shocked will be those who voted for it. A footnote in history moment.

the people who mocked and made up shit about the attack on paul pelosi have thoughts about decorum and we should definitely take them very very seriously

The birthday book is clear: there was a cabal of rich, powerful people (mostly men) whose fondest memories with Jeffrey Epstein involved trafficking young girls for sexβ€”trading them like baseball cardsβ€”and one of them is the current American president. You’re cool with this or you’re not. That’s it.

I went to the grocery store yesterday. Wow! At least the profiteers are happy. I wonder how MAGA voters will twist these jacked-up prices into a woke conspiracy. Folks, your leaders don't give a damn if you eat, live, or die as long as they get a cut before you go. Y'all better wake the hell up.

On February 28, 2016, in his Oscar acceptance speech for Best Screenplay, "The Big Short" Director and screenwriter Adam McKay stated, β€œIf you don’t want big money to control government, don’t vote for candidates that take money from big banks, oil, or weirdo billionaires. Stop!”

When I read FBI informant, I see someone compromised trying to avoid prosecution and willing to squeal like a pig. Some mafia don, huh? The First Felon, if it's true, being an informant screams, "I'm so guilty, I'll give up anyone." That's why they protect him. If he falls, they all fall.

i don't think a lot of you understand what's happening.

if they can declare transgender people mentally ill, then they can do it for anyone. and they will.

they'll say homosexuality is an illness. they'll say women have hysteria. all the old invented pseudoscience will return in service to them.

I keep seeing people say that less than 1 percent of mass shootings are committed by trans people.

That's somewhat misleading.

It's actually less than 0.1 percent.

More than 99.9% of mass shootings over the past decade were committed by non-trans people.
