American exceptionalism, right?

We've lost our humanity. We have no sense of community in this country. So many are out for themselves & will step on anyone else to elevate their own station.

Unless something personally affects their pocket book, they will look the other way.

Those poor babies.

I think they might have better luck spending two thousand dollars holding a press conference where they detail who made the key decisions to collaborate with the Trump administration, how and when they were fired, and explaining what would stop that from happening again.

Jack Schlossberg’s take on the SOTU. He says, “ it was story time with an old man living in an alternate reality.” Just what we’d expect.

This is why we have PRIMARIES!!!!!!!

Vote for your person, then be a grown up and vote for the nominee in the general.

THAT'S how we save our Democracy.

🚨 Americans are marching in the streets demanding action on real crises—and Republicans are wasting time on multiple voter suppression bills that limit our voice.

They're afraid of ALL CITIZENS of having the right to VOTE!

Millions of Americans Don’t Have Documents Proving Their Citizenship Readily Available Requiring Americans to prove their citizenship to register to vote would exclude millions of citizens from the political process.

We've got the numbers: Last year we published (in partnership with the @brennancenter.org and @umd-cdce.bsky.social) survey results showing that some 21.3 million Americans could be disenfranchised by the SAVE Act, which the House''ll vote on tomorrow.

Time to send this thing back to its grave.

The Republican party doesn't want women to vote because women are more likely to vote Democratic than men so they have came up with this scheme called the Save Act.The name sounds like it's patriotic voter protection.

But what it really does is disenfranchise women & impose a poll tax.

Guess how they define natural born citizenship.

There are lots of important books about concentration camps; two that I have used in my own teaching are "KL" by Nikolaus Wachsmann and "Illness and Inhumanity in Stalin’s Gulag" by Golfo Alexopoulos.

To The Man Behind the Mask (An Open Letter to An ICE Agent) Dear ICE Agent,

‘Listen Jeff, appreciate the kickback with the ‘Melania’ doc but if you really wanna make big money with Pentagon, you’re gonna have to shut down WAPO too, we have some crazy plans; detention camps, martial law, and we don’t need some pesky reporters f*cking things up, Capiche?’

A good thing happened today: Haitians in Springfield, Ohio and elsewhere are (for now) safe from the planned ethnic cleansing operation. This happened because people came together — organizers, reporters, and those who care — and made it happen. Let’s take the win and continue the work.

Amazon has cut a combined 28,000 jobs since October. Its CEO made $40M+ in 2024

UPS has announced 78,000 job cuts since last year. Its CEO made $24M.

HP announced up to 6,000 layoffs in November. Its CEO made $21M.

This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

Under authoritarian regimes, public spheres — streets, parks, neighborhood — become testing grounds for authoritarian rituals of humiliation and domination.

Sen. Ruben Gallego, D-Ariz., rolls out his demand for supporting a DHS appropriations bill: fire Stephen Miller

Yes because then they’d have to face the reality of what people think of them

Many TikTok users recently reported problems uploading videos, sudden drops to zero views, or posts getting stuck “under review.” Almost all of those complaints involved videos criticizing ICE or discussing the murder of Alex Pretti in Minneapolis.

Did Bovino have a speck of decency to apologize, at least just for what he said about Pretti? No.

Did JD Vance? No.

Did Stephen Miller? No.

Did Kristi Noem? No.

They simply lack basic human decency and have no business being in senior positions of the US government.

There MUST be accountability.

Is there a way to specifically pay 1% of your taxes with a promise to send the rest when the Epstein files are released?

Asking for America.

ICE murdered Renée Good in broad daylight. Less than 3 weeks later, they killed Alex Pretti, shooting him 10 times. Every day, we watch as people are ripped from their cars, their homes, their lives.

We can't allow ourselves to look away from this cruelty. Abolish ICE.

So important. What they say is not the story. That is never the story. What happened is the story. Write what happened.
