A good reminder.

“I’d rather go down in history as one lone Negro who dared to tell the government that it had done a dastardly thing than to save my skin by taking back what I have said.”

Rep Pramila Jayapal: "Remember the militarized raid on a Chicago apartment building in the middle of the night where agents rappelled from helicopters and zip-tied sobbing children? It has resulted in ZERO criminal charges two months later.
The cruelty, chaos, and fear are the point."

Who loves Costco even more now? ✋🏾

They not only didn’t bend the knee when it comes to DEI, they’re taking Trump head-on.

America: Did you order the code Red?

Hegseth: YOU’RE GODDAM RIGHT I DID!

America: Uhm, it’s a crime.

Hegseth: Ok, someone else ordered the Code Red.

And this qualifies as 'transparency' these days.

Nearly 1,900 immigrants were detained during the first half of Operation Midway Blitz. Most had no criminal record. Newly released federal data shows that immigration agents booked in roughly 1,900 immigrants in the first half of Operation Midway Blitz – two-thirds of whom had no known criminal convictions or pe…

Of the 1,895 people detained by ICE, 1,271 lacked any criminal record.
Only 28 arrestees —1.5% — had been convicted of a violent felony or sex crime.

Then perhaps he shouldn’t have enabled Trump’s rise, shouldn’t have stacked the SCOTUS, and shouldn’t have protected him during both impeachments. 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

No Habba job. Sad!

Is it possible there might actually be a tiny bit of congressional oversight now? I refuse to believe it until it happens.

She seems nice

"When senior leaders disparage legal oversight, sideline JAG officers, impede the ability of the press to report, or treat accountability as the enemy, they do more than risk unlawful action. They weaken the moral foundation that makes our military credible in the eyes of the American people...

How will we protect the Midterm vote fm this crooked asswipe and his “perfect computers”??? Felon47 has eliminated all the ppl that monitor election interference. We have no safety net.

BREAKING: NYT reporting that Trump has just fired 8 immigration judges in New York City who worked at 26 Federal Plaza. That's NYC ICE HQ.

In the city that declares "give us your tired your poor, your huddled masses yearning to be free," Trump shuts down due process for immigrants. This is fascism.

Rosa Parks sitting on the bus, refusing to give up her seat

On this day in 1955 Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat. For 381 days people boycotted the buses. They walked, carpooled and organized every single day until segregation cracked. Nothing will change today without that same resolve. Freedom isn’t granted, it's taken one step at a time. #Resist

Kelly: He runs around on stage talking about lethality and the warrior ethos.. That’s not the message that should be coming from the Secretary of Defense… He runs around on a stage like he’s a 12 year old playing army. It’s embarrassing.

Fentanyl. Drug Overdoses, including Fentanyl, are not even in the top 20 causes of death in the USA. Cancer, Diabetes, Covid, Heart Disease all in the top 10, and all have had their research funding cut. They aren't murdering just Venezuelans. However they are killing us much slower.

Because of course the guy who was sentenced to seven years in federal prison for wire fraud and aggravated identity theft got a Presidential pardon...and a job at the DOJ.

January 6 rioter who was pardoned by Trump arrested for child sexual abuse Andrew Paul Johnson, 44, faces multiple charges in Florida and has pleaded not guilty to the crimes, authorities say

A JANUARY 6 insurrectionist pardoned by Donald Trump, Andrew Paul Johnson, HAS BEEN ARRESTED FOR MOLESTING AN 11-YEAR-OLD BOY.

Probably the most important post you will read today. #HoldFast

Reporter: Governor Walz called for the release of your MRI results

Trump: They were perfect like my phone call where I got impeached.


Reporter: Can you tell us what they were looking at?

Trump: I have no idea. It was just an MRI. It wasn’t the brain because I took a cognitive test and aced it.

White House Forced to Correct Childish Anti-Media Site President Trump’s latest attempt to rein in the media went quiet just hours after launching.

America knows what is fake news… what is a FAKE PRESIDENT and what is a fake ignorant Washington Web Page.
