Behind that massive billboard of a forehead lies endless amounts of hate and sinister tendencies.

What a truly disgusting, inhuman monster.

Stephen Miller Is Getting $170 Billion To Build His Own Army To Target Our Immigrant Neighbors. Here’s What That Funding Could Do Instead This unprecedented allocation of taxpayer money could go to helping working families all across America, on everything from education, hunger, housing, healthcare, and the environment.

$170 billion could end homelessness. It could fund Head Start or pay for nutritious school meals for our kids for well over a decade. But it’s instead going to Stephen Miller so he can build his mass deportation army to target our immigrant neighbors: americasvoicecnn.substack.com/p/stephen-mi...

D.C. Snipped Its Crisis Response Safety Net for Suicidal Children. Six District Kids Have Died By Suicide Since June 2021. The 2026 budget includes $1 billion for a billionaire sports team owner, but slashes the contract for the Child and Adolescent Mobile Psychiatric Service.

Bowser and the Council cut ChAMPS, D.C.’s only crisis response service for suicidal kids. Teachers say mental health issues are “skyrocketing.” A recent survey found 11.4% of students have attempted suicide, and 14.6% feel unsafe at school.

This really feels like a defining post of our time

DOJ Wants to Scare Schools, Businesses and More Into Trans Bathroom Ban A threat like this is a bet, one waged on the expectation that Americans, acting out of fear, will fall in line.

1. The DOJ under Pam Bondi is trying to scare businesses, hospitals, airports, and more which receive federal funds into banning trans people from bathrooms.

Today we learned Andrew Cuomo is directly coordinating with Donald Trump, even as this President sends masked agents to rip our neighbors off the streets and guts the social services so many New Yorkers rely on.

It’s disqualifying and a betrayal of our city.

On this 80th anniversary of the atomic bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki on August 6 and 9, 1945, we honor the victims, survivors, and stories that must never be forgotten.

there's an episode of The Simpsons where Marge tries to get a violent cartoon pulled from the airwaves, only to discover that the people backing her aren't going to stop at just the art that *she* doesn't like, and that supporting artistic freedom means accepting discomfort.

It aired in 1990.

I think it's really worth noting that this concentration camp was opened one month and three days ago.

This woman saw enough horror in that time to quit and tell the public what she saw.

Which suggests that it's not as bad as we think, or as bad as we can envision from her description—it's worse.

NEW YORK, NY – Today, the New York Times reported that Andrew Cuomo is coordinating with President Donald Trump ahead of the upcoming New York City mayoral election to help billionaires buy this race and steal it from the very New Yorkers on the frontlines against Trump's authoritarianism. Andrew Cuomo tried to hide this from the public because he knew how damaging it would be. In response, Zohran Mamdani released the following statement: “Andrew Cuomo has spent his career governing for the powerful and prioritizing his own self-interests over those of the people he was sworn to serve. This is not just a shady backroom deal by a cynical politician, it is disqualifying. It is a betrayal. Donald Trump is sending masked agents to rip our neighbors off the street, gutting the social services so many New Yorkers rely on, and threatening to deport me for having the audacity to stand up to him and his billionaire friends. The job of New York City Mayor is not to be jester for a wannabe king, it is to protect the people of this city.”

Zohran Mamdani just released a statement about Cuomo working with Trump:

The Americans aghast at this suggestion should try learning more about who Fidel actually was instead of believing the propaganda they were fed about him by a government that worked to topple him for decades was all true.

The Mothership Vortex: An Investigation Into the Firm at the Heart of the Democratic Spam Machine How a single consulting firm extracted $282 million from a network of spam PACs while delivering just $11 million to actual campaigns.

The annoying spam texts destroying the Democratic brand:

$678M raised through those spam tactics

$282M to one consulting firm: Mothership Strategies.
