ICE fired a munition at Rep. Adelita Grijalva as she demanded answers during a raid in her own community. No warning. No accountability. Just armored agents treating Tucson like a war zone. If they’ll fire at a Congresswoman on camera, imagine what they do to everyone else. Sick MFers.

Layoffs have hit over 1.1M so far this year — the most since the pandemic.

Yet corporate profits continue to hit record highs, with corporations increasingly spending those earnings on stock buybacks to enrich execs and shareholders.

This is what a rigged economy looks like.

Sabrina Carpenter calls out White House for using her music in a racist video, she says this video is evil and disgusting. “Do not ever involve me or my music to benefit your inhumane agenda.” Gaining 1.7 million likes and 139 million views

The White House deleted their shitpost on X in defeat after suffering the biggest ratio in social media history at the hands of Sabrina Carpenter.

The most interesting part of this story isn’t that the pipe bomber is MAGA. That was blatantly obvious. What should interest folks is that the FBI and DoJ hid that fact from you, and still haven’t made a statement. This info is coming from sources on the condition of anonymity.

Five corporations control 90% of the US media market.

Airlines merged from 12 major carriers in 1980 to 4 today.

Four giants control 80% of meat processing.

The evidence of corporate consolidation is everywhere.

It means more power for them and less freedom for you.

DOJ’s New Voting Lawyer Brought Flawed Charges Pushed By Election Deniers Read more here.

A Republican lawyer who recently took on a leading role in the push by the U.S. Department of Justice’s effort to obtain state voter records was put on leave as a prosecutor in Los Angeles County after bringing charges based on information from a prominent far-right group of election conspiracists.

This is exactly what churches should be doing, calling out injustice.

📌 Lake Street Church Nativity: a bold social justice statement with ICE-like Roman soldiers, the Virgin Mary in a gas mask, baby Jesus zip-tied, Joseph on the ground, pushing viewers to think about immigration.

Good Morning, friends.
How do I know this is true?
Because I was purged last month and had to request a provisional ballot. Then I watched as it was officially counted.
We, The People, have to stand up to this corrupt regime.

A president cannot defend a nation if he is not held accountable to its laws.

I ❤️ Ted Lieu!!!!

@tedlieu.bsky.social has an honorable #CupOfJoe for members of the US military.
“Those of us who served know that part of the code of conduct is to not lie and accept responsibility. Unfortunately, Secretary Hegseth engaged in dishonorable conduct…He must resign.

Poor people affording health care is "sinister."

Kash Patel must have forgotten to tell the American people this part yesterday. Must have slipped his mind.

BERMAN: Did you see any evidence of them trying to use a radio in the video you saw?

TOM COTTON: Well I saw lots of evidence of them standing on the boat that had been capsized

BERMAN: That wasn't my question. Did you see any evidence?

COTTON: No, I didn't

And that’s why we didn’t get any details about Cole’s activity between 12/19 and 1/5 in the affidavit or the press conference.

BERMAN: Would it be legal for police in Arkansas to kill suspected drug dealers on a boat in a lake?

TOM COTTON: The premise of your question is not well-founded


BERMAN: The answer is no. It would not be legal to kill them.

Doesn’t Trump’s blanket pardon cover this guy?

Anyone defending execution as a reasonable punishment for drug smuggling is a Nazi. Pass it on.

Admiral Frank Bradley lied in his testimony today. The two survivors did not have a radio or any other means of communication.

Remove him from duty and court martial him. Immediately.

EXCLUSIVE: The two men killed as they floated holding onto their capsized boat in a secondary strike against a suspected drug vessel in early September did NOT appear to have radio or other communications devices, the top military official overseeing the strike told lawmakers on Thursday.

I just want some of these fucking people to face real consequences

REP. HIMES: “The video was enormously disturbing… the example given in the DOD manual is of shipwrecked sailors. You do not kill them.”

SCOTUS Allows Texas to Use Racially Gerrymandered Map in 2026 Midterm Elections Read more here.

🚨BREAKING: The U.S. Supreme Court, in a 6-3 decision, has granted Texas’ request to stay a lower court ruling blocking it from using a heavily gerrymandered congressional map the state legislature passed at the behest of President Donald Trump. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Simply amazing that the Supreme Court declared an end to legal race discrimination in the affirmative action case two years ago and now allows overt racism in both immigration arrests and redistricting.

Using race to help minorities? Bad. Using it to discriminate against them? Very, very good.

Rand Paul saying Hegseth is either “lying or incompetent” is wild because coming from him, that’s basically a full-blown alarm siren. When even GOP senators are calling out the boat strike cover story, you know the narrative is cracking. Accountability is way overdue!
