I keep thinking about voter intimidation. People may not want to go to a dropbox or fear they need a passport, so they won't vote at all. I feel like we need to start training for ballot collection or make Know Your Rights cards, election style.

And don't come at me w/ "midterms aren't happening".

First we have to realize that Trump is not the problem

The society we made created and embraced Trump

That is the problem

I love games and so many of the people who make them. It was an honor to accept the award on behalf of the team and a privilege to be able to speak to what I believe in. β™₯️

Haitian man dies in US immigration custody with untreated toothache, brother says A Haitian man confined at an Arizona immigration detention center for months after the denial of his asylum application has died in the hospital

Emmanuel Damas, another individual killed in ICE custody.

He had a toothache. They ignored it. He died of spesis. Read that again.

Why do we need to fund this murderous agency?

This image shows: the Oath of Office
I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter. So help me God.

Every member of Congress took this oath to defend our Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic.

Nothing excuses the inaction of Congress
Just as courage is contagious, so is cowardice.

My question for each member of Congress is
"How can you face yourself in the mirror each day?"

Corporate Media Buries Story of US and Israel Killing 168 in Girls School Attack No front-page stories in NYT, WSJ, WaPo. No mention on NBC and CBS Sunday Shows. No stand alone segments on Evening News shows. A death count on par with the OKC bombing is relegated to the back page.

β€˜We’re in it’: Democrats won’t rule out giving Trump more money for Middle East war Democrats will have to balance a desire to criticize Trump’s offensive in Iran with pressure to support funding to defend the nation now at war.

We already went through this shit in Iraq. You don’t fund the GOPs dumb as fuck wars. Period. This isn’t hard. www.politico.com/news/2026/03...

This government hates the military.

The US Capitol Police just gave a patch to a Senator who broke a Marines arm. While actual American soldiers are dying in the Middle East. Disgusting shit.

J6 part 2 is coming and Capitol Police are gonna help the insurrectionists this time.

The bedroom on the DHS private jet is nicer than the bedrooms in many working Americans' homes.

This is an unnecessary, disgusting misuse of our taxpayer dollars.

There is no feasible explanation as to why ANY public official would need this level of luxury.

Strip Law is fantastic, and it’s in that vein of animated comedy where there are so many jokes, that you can’t possibly get them all on the first watch. I’m going to have to watch it again, soon.

Was she on your primary ballot to be the nominee?

Or, if she was the replacement when the old man failed, why didn't he just go home and let her do that job, to prove she could

Or, are we all supposed to fall in line behind the approved candidate like good soviets?

The Dems we have, failed

The Constitution is clear: Congress decides on war. When a president uses military force without authorization and Congress stays silent, they are abandoning their role as a co equal branch of government. War is the most serious power our government has. Shame on the U.S. Senate today.

We can see the results of navigating with evil as our North star

The Supremacists sailing straight towards evil, or the Centrists triangulating to just lesser enough for scolding

The People chose not to turn out for either evil

That's on the party, not The People

It is so damning of US news media that so many outlets refuse to just straight up say that Senator Tim Sheehy assaulted an activist.

He did not "help" Capitol police. They did not need his help. He wanted to assault the guy and did. He should resign.
