Really glad none of the people calling American cities “war zones” were with us in Afghanistan. Would’ve become tiresome constantly hosing them down after they soiled themselves.

So the people causing the shutdown are getting paid. The people keeping the country running don’t.

And Speaker Mike Johnson won’t let the House come back to work. So basically they’re on a paid vacation while Americans miss paychecks.

Did I get that right?

Subtweet without malice but in response to something that happens a lot:

When people point out that something is illegal or full on unconstitutional, it's not because this admin cares, it's because you should be aware.

The most fundamental political debate of our time: You are integrated into and have responsibility for our complex, imperfect society vs. Nuh-uh.

I'll believe it when I see it.

I don't even think Liberals are all that put out by it.

Um, ICE just coldly shot an unarmed PRIEST in the head w a pepper ball when he (and everyone around him) clearly posed no threat.

For the crime of … complaining about government policy.

Core 1A speech.

With cameras rolling, they’re sniping priests for sport.

So *He'll* get his skull bashed in instead of one of us.

I wish he'd hurry up with that bus thing

Last year they claimed “illegals” were voting, without any evidence.

They used fear mongering to push for voter suppression laws.

Now they claim “illegals” are getting free healthcare, again without any evidence.

So they can make healthcare unaffordable for millions of Americans.

Enough.

Charlie is where it's at, and we kept telling that to the out of state Dems 😞

Yeah she ran ads saying she was more in line with Trump than McConnell was. McConnell ran ads playing speeches she made where she said a lot of awesome sounding feminist stuff (which made her "bad" in the eyes of the Republican base).

The pro-Trump shit made her look inconsistent af.

Beshear got in because Bevin was such a massive tool that even Republicans hated him. Beshear stayed in because he was good at his job.

This. She'll get my vote if she ends up being the candidate, but she won't get a dime from me.

This is one of those "Accusation is a confession" type things, isn't it? They plan to beat votes with violence in the midterms.

I want to live in a world where the flags are lowered for Jane Goodall.

I'm so over breaking news. How about some fixing news.

A Texas megachurch pastor and GOP leader has been arrested for crimes against children. Not Robert Morris, a different one. Not Josiah Anthony, a different one. Not Luke Cunningham, a different one. Not Tony Evans, a different one. Not Scott Crenshaw, a different one. Not Steve Lawson, a different o

ICE is doing a hell of a lot of harm in the Chicago area *right now.* I don’t mean to trivialize the national guard stuff, it absolutely is an irresponsible escalation, but the guard-centric convo around this really does understate what’s going on without any guardsmen.

The Anti-Social Century Americans are now spending more time alone than ever. It’s changing our personalities, our politics, and even our relationship to reality.

This one of many reasons that 21st century liberalism should reorient itself around *places*, namely creating places that are actually pleasant to live in, with generous public spaces that bring people's physical bodies into proximity.

It's also illegal to put a single nail behind each back tire when they're parked.

Yeah I like the sound of that there vengeance

What the fuck is going on with that beard????

This video of Chicagoans intervening to save a man from being abducted off the streets by ICE is making the rounds on Instagram.

Community action works.

House Republicans have worked a total of 14 days since July 25th.

You can’t blame a shutdown on Democrats when the entire Republican Party hasn’t even bothered to show up for work.

Doesn't that guy know that his own bosses and co-workers would have him on the first plane to El Salvador first chance they get?

The regime is acting this way because there are no consequences so it is clear that consequences—the development of them, the advocacy for them, the imposition on bad behavior—are the answer to our crisis.
