@cnn.com is lost, not worth watching, and has become a right wing appeasement outlet. It’s a damn shame, but let’s ignore it, and hope it goes out of business

Everyone who describes themselves as left or left of center, should be listening/watching @democracynow.org every day. It’s the last great legacy media outlet, and the best journalism outlet in the country. They’ve always been outsiders, and they’ve always been righteous

More and more Americans are voicing their outrage at the tactics being deployed by federal agents in Minnesota. But it’s important to understand the broader implications of what this administration is doing, and the threat it poses to the basic freedoms of every American.

Screenshot of an X.com post by The Associated Press (@AP) stating that dozens of immigrant families protested for better treatment behind fences at a Texas detention facility, where a 5-year-old Ecuadorian boy and his father were sent after being detained in Minnesota. Below is a video thumbnail showing a crowd gathered outdoors along a fenced walkway; many people wear bright blue or red outerwear, and some hold signs.

After being held in two of them as a boy, I fought for decades urging America to never again build concentration camps and put human beings in them. It breaks my heart to watch this happen twice now in my own lifetime.

I’m ok. I’m a survivor so this small agitator isn’t going to intimidate me from doing my work.

I don’t let bullies win.

Grateful to my incredible constituents who rallied behind me. Minnesota strong.

Then why didn’t we do what Brazil did, and Charge him with TREASON??!! 😑! He’s the most obvious traitor in the nation’s history

Another thought, will @aoc.bsky.social be President one day?

As America fades, if Trump is allowed to remain in office, the ACTUAL west, Western Europe, will suck up all of that lost prosperity. The UK should stay as far away from the US as possible, hitch its wagon to Europe, and bet on stability instead of volatility

Haven’t listed in way too long.. hope everyone’s new year is off to a good start! I had a little thought this morning, if Trump lives to be 85, he will completely destroy the United States, cost the US control over world markets, alienate America, and finish destroying America.

Yes, it is beyond insanity. Luckily, the American people aren’t buying it.

🩸🩸🩸 NEVER FORGET: Instead of honoring our Constitution's key principle of a Peaceful Transfer of Power, POS Donald Trump Abused his Power on Jan 6th by inciting this violent & deadly attack on our country's Capital and should be in prison for life 🩸🩸🩸

The EU has the gel to build up its military, and it has been along just that for a long time now. The Brits & French have Nukes and aircraft carriers too. The Europeans must fight, but negotiate with this madman idiot. If they do, I’m firmly behind Europe. Call me a traitor. Idgaf πŸ˜‘

If we allow this deranged asshole to destroy Europe, imo a much more interesting place than the USA, we are all monsters. This must stop. Our government is rogue, corrupt beyond belief, and attempting to take Greenland. The EU must, and I mean must fight if necessary to stop an US invasion

Would one of our democratic superstar, governors, please for the love of God announce they are running in 2028, and that there will be a military style tribunal. A tribunal that will convict every member of the Trump administration implicit, and his crimes!

We’re left in a situation in which our moral authorities are celebs. They have just enough F#%k YOU money to say what must be said. It’s beyond SHAMEFUL THAT BILLIONAIRES who have serious F%^K U money and they SAY NOTHING!! It’s time to cancel Amazon, delete X, sell, or burn, your Tesla!

Whitmer, Newsom, and whomever else is running in 29’ MUST announce their candidacy TODAY! Then announce their will be a Nuremberg-like trials for all those involved, and that goes above and beyond the reach of this corrupt pos SCOTUS

2026 is going to be hell! Prepare yourself physically and mentally. They, the Christian nationalist, the fascists, and the neo/conservative hypocrites must be removed IMMEDIATELY

Rally round the flag, scream, yell, shout, and do any and everything that you can short of committing any sort of violence. We must take back the US government for the health and safety of, not only the USA, but the stability of the world.

When do we the people take to the streets in a way that makes the #NoKingsProtest look like a Girl Scouts selling cookies?! It’s way past time! They’re murdeeing us now!! A poet FFS! She was as harmless as a butterfly πŸ¦‹. Polis, I thought we are all soft snowflakes?!

The news people who were once good, are now bad. Up is down, and left is right. Liberals are far too sensitive to hateful speech. Remember, we’re the ones who challenged restrictions on speech 🎀. Remember George Carlin?? The right is what it always was, just under the surface, fascists.

Why he wasn’t tried and convicted for treason, like Bolsonaro, is something I’ll never understand. His supporters can go to hell. He belongs in prison, or a forced labor camp. One that will help change his diapers.

Leave Greenland the F alone!! Leave Canada alone, or lead America into another world war. A war in which we are Germany , and the rest of the world are lining up against us. All the drones in the world won’t save these fascists pig.

The revolution began yesterday, and you’re either in the good team, or you’re with maga. There will be a Nuremberg-like trial for everyone involved in the maga regime.

Take off the fucking masks! Allow us to see these goddamn terrorists! We have rights, enshrined in the constitution. These pigs, including the 6 cons on the Supreme Court, have failed. The Venezuela situation is beyond comprehension. These people are monsters.
