We gotta come up with a better system than “everything rests on whether these twelve billionnaires are nice”

Fulton County officials asked a federal court to return 2020 election ballots that the FBI seized last week. The county is also requesting that the court unseal the affidavit the administration used to obtain approval for the search.

worth noting that the second rich people stopped being afraid of mobs tearing them limb from limb, they stopped building libraries and opera houses and stuff and started ripping the copper wiring out of the walls of society instead

We need to get our media back from billionaires. How do we do this?

Pinned lizzie johnson @lizziejohnsonnn · Aug 19, 2021 Almost three years ago, my editor called me early one November morning. A wildfire had sparked near a town called Paradise, he said. Could I go? (1/13) 0:02 / 0:10 lizzie johnson @lizziejohnsonnn · 47m I was just laid off by The Washington Post in the middle of a warzone. I have no words. I'm devastated. Quote lizzie johnson @lizziejohnsonnn · Jan 25 Waking up without power, heat, or running water. (Again.) But the work here in Kyiv continues. Warming up in the car, writing in pencil — pen ink freezes — by headlamp.

A publisher who lays off a reporter whose pen is freezing because she's covering a frigid war zone while dodging missiles is not an editor you want to work for, in a more perfect world

This is so incredibly fucked up. We cannot allow billionaires to buy our media. Independent media is the only way forward.

Heads are going to explode 💥

Cato Institute just nuked the lie. Immigrants have cut U.S. deficits by $14.5 TRILLION since 1994, slashing the national debt by a third.

All that “immigrants are bleeding us dry” noise? Absolute bullshit.

There’s a place in fiery hell for Todd.

As your constituent, I do not agree with what this legislation does. Don't protect pedophiles.

A reminder (courtesy of AlJazeera) that as Attorney general in FLA, Bondi was zip-lipped while Epstein got his cushy jail deal.

I just keep thinking:
These are not just files.
These were children.
They harmed and raped and abused and tortured children in the worst ways imaginable, more than we know.
They were children.

Dr Assal Rad—

"Gaza belongs to Palestinians, you have no legal authority to determine its future, symbols, or how it is administered.

"Absolutely insane that these statements receive no attention from Western media, who help to normalize occupation."

Remember her name: Aliya Rahman

Her testimony is everything and it deserves to be heard, by everyone. Decide for yourself.

It’s powerful. It’s gut-wrenching. And no one should have to survive what she did.

ICE MUST GO‼️

Holy fucking shit a gunfight just happened right outside my apartments. I could clearly hear every shot. What the fuck.

I'm not accepting defeat until I'm cold in the ground. We have the power to change this, through pressure now, voting at every chance, and real meaningful and sustained action.

Crockett: "Now my colleagues want to be the protectors of girls & women. I didn't hear them screaming this when Renee Good was killed in the middle of the street by the same people the vast majority of you just voted to give more money to. It was a lot of crickets, including about the Esptein files"

This woman has shown more courage than the nominal leaders of the Democratic Party.

A follow up on this Jesse Watters clip from 3 weeks ago. The victim of ICE testified today before Congress that she was on her way to a 39th scheduled treatment at a traumatic brain injury center.

Thousands showed up in Seattle—nurses, doctors, educators—people who heal and protect life. Congress is voting to fund ICE instead of care. The public is choosing dignity and health. Lawmakers should listen.

Jeffrey Epstein: "I have met some very bad people. None as bad as Trump. Not one decent cell in his body."

Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche needs to resign.

He got the law wrong about patronizing sex parties with alleged child trafficking. He failed to redact names of victims & pictures of children. AND he moved Ghislaine Maxwell to a minimum-security prison & got her a puppy.

Holy shit he's on to something.

We need SERIOUS reform of the Supreme Court. Term limits and a simple majority house/senate impeachment clause just for starters. We won't get anywhere without kicking out the extremists who are sitting in it now.

I’m Beginning To Think We Are Witnessing The Largest Criminal Enterprise Ever Created….

holy shit

😬

They are beating, choking, torturing, and ultimately killing people in these "detention centers." There's a reason they won't let congresspeople in to see their death camps.

WRONG. I-205 administrative warrants are not issued by immigration judges. They’re signed by ICE officers. And EVEN IF THEY WERE issued by an immigration judge - they are executive branch employees, NOT judicial branch. JUDICIAL warrants are needed to enter a home without consent.
