i think it is a sign of low character to post something controversial knowing it will get angry comments and then insult the people who responded to your ragebait

Kristi Noem Secretly Took a Cut of Political Donations A dark money group paid $80,000 to Noemโ€™s personal company when she was governor of South Dakota. She did not include this income on her federal disclosure forms, a likely violation of ethicsโ€ฆ

NEW: Kristi Noem, while governor of South Dakota, supplemented her roughly $130,000 salary by secretly accepting $80,000 donated to a political nonprofit she was affiliated with, records show.

She never disclosed this income on federal ethics forms.

CHARLAMAGNE: โ€œItโ€™s crazy to me that โ€˜socialismโ€™ is such a dirty word, when all it is is trying close the gap between the rich and the poor and make sure everybody has access to basic necessities... That why I like when @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social uses โ€˜affordabilityโ€™.โ€

Thereโ€™s something deeply wrong with a society that watches people get snatched by masked men in unmarked cars & looks the other way.

Rep @kamlager-dove.house.gov, describes an alarming system of relocating detainees, making it nearly impossible for their families to find them or get legal counsel.

I mean this is what it would sound like if you asked a fourth grader to imagine what a ceasefire would be like. and yet our entire political class is committed to never mentioning that the man is an imbecile

I canโ€™t speak for every city, but here in LA, ICE bounty hunters arenโ€™t going after gang members. Theyโ€™re hunting the vulnerable: gardeners, street vendors, day laborers.

Easy money, no risk.

Folks need to stop pretending this is about crime.

@jacobsoboroff.bsky.socialโ€”thank you for your words.

Not to rain on everyoneโ€™s ceasefire-not-ceasefire parade, but that wrecking ball of a big dumb bill is still working its way through the Senate and still launching an assault on women, wages, benefits, and the entire working class

Theyโ€™re assaulting the mothers and fathers of US soldiers.

Roving gangs of masked men grab human beings off the street.

They send them without due process to prisons in countries theyโ€™re not even from where they are then sold into slavery.

Make it stop!!!
