I’m a US citizen and a veteran. ICE arrested me for no reason. Jailed for three days without an explanation or ability to notify anyone, George Retes argues the only path to healing starts with the government taking accountability for its actions.

"I believe that Americans would agree that the government can’t just make people disappear without any process or explanation. Second, because I want to give the government a chance to admit that they were wrong.

So far the government has not done so."

this is, hands down, the best video I've seen on men's influencer content and it's not close either

Yeah, this isn’t alarming at all.

This is not okay whether you’re right or left leaning. Cracking down on people who you perceive believe a certain way is the next step in becoming a fascist state nation.

Republican Sen. Mike Lee of Utah took down X posts Tuesday making an apparent connection between Gov. Tim Walz and the man accused of shooting two Minnesota lawmakers and their spouses, and blaming “Marxists” for the murders. The change comes after blowback from Sen. Tina Smith and her staffers as well as Minnesota Democratic and Republican lawmakers.

One X post said “Nightmare on Waltz Street,” with pictures of Boelter, who is accused of killing Minnesota Rep. Melissa Hortman and her husband, Mark, and shooting Sen. John Hoffman and his wife, Yvette, in the early morning hours of June 14. Boelter also went to the homes of two other state lawmakers that night; one house was empty, and at the other, a police officer pulled up to the house shortly after Boelter arrived, so Boelter left.

Another Lee post read, “This is what happens When Marxists don’t get their way,” with a picture of Boelter.

No elected official Democratic party will be as cruel about Kirk's death as Mike Lee was about the death of Melissa Hortman.

Extremely irresponsible for the governor of Utah to say in a press conference that he has no doubt Kirk's murder was a political assassination when the police do not have a suspect in custody and have not named a primary suspect

@govpritzker.illinois.gov's take on Kirk is the correct one:

"Political violence, unfortunately, has ramped up in this country ... I think there are people who are fomenting it in this country. I think the president's rhetoric often foments it."

On point. So glad Democrats are saying this.

The lamest part of running. The first two elections, I did all my swag and gear out of pocket. The cost of everything is so high… I’m asking for a bit of help. Anything goes along way. Share with your friends 😁

Thanks to Senate Republicans, 17 million people will lose their health care.

Thanks to Senate Republicans, three million Americans, including veterans and seniors, will lose food assistance.

Thanks to Senate Republicans, families will see their energy bills go up by $400 a year.

I get it, but it is Actually Bad to treat revocation of citizenship as a point of political leverage, even casually.

Zohran’s results so far just show how tired Americans are of the status quo, how we need creative, people-first campaigning and governance, and why positive, progressive politics are the future.

Hate to get ahead of myself before results are called but I’m so freakin happy right now.

I'm honestly impressed by the sheer lack of any attempt to persuade here. "Iran must agree to end this war" that we just started?

@smith.senate.gov: "They try to pretend that this violence, in this case in Minnesota, was actually driven by left wing ideology, when that is clearly not what is going on here... Let's be honest, here we have Donald Trump, one of the first actions that he took was to pardon the insurrectionists."

I was far from the closest with him but he still had a huge impact on my life. He had that power to just make the biggest and lasting impact on your life even if you only knew him for a few minutes.

I knew this man and his family and helped with some of his projects and hung out with him a lot. They are such an amazing family and Afa was definitely the best of us. It’s so fucking sad he’s gone, he was such a light and amazing person for the world.
