OK folks, I'm taking a break from this place. There's way too much troll/bot activity and performative complaining from people who should know better. I appreciate all you real ones. Keep up the good fight. I may be back after I finish my latest project.

Who does? JFC. No matter what successes we have, people like you have to shit on them.

Yes, it will help to save this nation. And being negative about it will help the fascists. So choose wisely.

Talk to the Republicans. They are the party that doesn't want to help us get health care. They DGAF. Ask Bill what he thinks about universal health care.

Talk to the Republicans and the millions who vote for them.

Any account still attacking Democrats is not an ally.

Theyโ€™re MAGA ops.

Some know it. Some are too stupid to understand. And some will pretend theyโ€™re too stupid.

Fuck โ€˜em. Theyโ€™re evil and genuinely useless.

You can smear peanut butter all over your body and go out and yell on a street corner, too. That would make more sense.

BS. You don't understand how US politics works. Bottom line, what people in your district want is not necessarily what the people in her district want. And she represents them, not you.

A few women on my college alumnae list said that bin Laden had such beautiful eyes, he couldn't be evil. My dear friend who took the video of my wedding was blown to bits on the 100th floor of 1 WTC so that didn't sit well with me.

Basically this came down to western leftists saying "Al Qaeda speaks the language of the oppressed!" while the Global South said "we hate these theocratic bastards."

The testing ground for Bovinoโ€™s Operation At Large was Los Angeles. A California judge initially prohibited ICE/CBPโ€™s most flagrant constitutional violations. SCOTUS overruled her 6โ€“3, handing Bovino a blank check to inflict unspeakable brutality on Chicago and Minneapolis. The 6 bear so much blame.

ALEX PRETTIโ€™S PARENTS: โ€œHe was a VA nurse who cared about people deeply, and he was very upset with what was happening with ICE... kidnapping children, grabbing people off the street โ€” he knew it was wrong. He loved this country."

Chris Madel: Leaves MN gubernatorial race & Repub Party. "US citizens, especially those of color, live in fear. They are raiding homes with only a civil warrant signed by CBP. That's unconstitutional. At the end of the day, I want to be able to look my daughters in the eye."

Senate Democrats plot strategy as DHS standoff deepens heading into shutdown week Two sources who were on a Democratic caucus strategy call Sunday said Minority Leader Chuck Schumer told the group the message must be to โ€œrestrain, reform and restrict ICE.โ€

Seeing people get mad about this and what are we even doing here.

1) "Basically DHS is the problem and needs to be stripped out,โ€ <-- this line from Schumer correctly assumes that carving out DHS from the rest of the minibus would be a MASSIVE win for Democrats.
