Screenshot of an X.com post by Acyn (@Acyn) quoting an exchange: Vance says a group isn’t targeting people based on skin color; a reporter cites a police chief saying off-duty officers who are people of color were targeted and asked for papers; Vance says it’s a concern and they need to find out if it happened. Below is a video thumbnail of JD Vance speaking at a press podium; a CNN-style “BREAKING NEWS” lower-third references a debate over entering homes without a judge’s warrant.

“I have to create stories so that the American media actually pays attention…”
— JD Vance on why he amplified false claims about Haitians eating pets in Springfield, Ohio.

I feel like I haven’t even been properly lied to about the purposes of this war

Can't help but feel like this is one of the reasons why the Constitution says If a dude in office does an insurrection, don't let that motherfucker hold office again

Bc clearly they cannot be trusted with power & control over the levers of government, & they do not care about democratic constraints

The aging pedophile who wants to be a king has kidnapped the leader of a sovereign nation without congressional approval.

If the United States had an opposition party, they would treat this as an illegitimate act and start impeachment proceedings immediately.

I need to see the mountains. They have always accompanied my life. There is nothing as beautiful as a great mountain.🫠

Caught him red handed sleeping on the job, and all HR had to say was "awww." 😤

How do I make it so I never have to see anything Harry Potter related ever again for my entire life

Screams into the void because everyone is stressing me out and it’s like a week before Cmas and holy shit can you not

Ask him why so many air traffic controllers are retiring at once. Ask him if it has anything to do with Reagan firing 11K union strikers in 1981 and having to replace them all at once. Ask him how the mass firings this year will impact us the same way 40 years from now. Ask him, Jake.

You didn’t have to hear anybody’s opinion about literally anything unless they were within slapping distance

You are not a patriot if you have contempt for people who use SNAP benefits to eat while simultaneously not caring about a $300 million dollar ballroom, you are exactly what they molded you to be, a pawn in their game to divide us and enrich themselves. Congratulation, you lose.

if lore is to be believed, fred astaire used to dance and glide around his tailor's workshop before taking a suit home to make sure the collar always stayed glued to his neck

I.A.T.S.E. Local B-192 would like to congratulate the Los Angeles Dodgers on their World Series Win. We are sure this Win will be prosperous for the Dodgers organization. You can pay the Dodger Stadium Tour Guides a living wage.

If the current administration ever ends, many people in (and around) it will need to be prosecuted. From influence peddling to flat-out murder, their crimes seem to accumulate each and every day.

My dog sure sighs a lot for somebody who can’t read the news

One of the best things about marriage is that it's a safe space to say the most vile things you could possibly say about another human being as long as you both don't like them

Our military is being paid by an anonymous donor.

Our WH East Wing was demolished for a ballroom - paid for by donors.

These aren’t acts of benevolence or patriotism.

This is the oligarchy assuming control, insidiously becoming part of how we function.

Every American should reject it.

Not all heroes wear capes, some wear polka dots and flats.

If the National Guard is really in D.C. to protect federal
property, they should probably have been at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. two days ago

Lots of US companies have done lots of dreadful things to Americans. But the symbolism of paying to destroy the White House is hard to top.
