ICE is already abusing and executing people in broad daylight, on camera. What the fuck are body cameras going to do? We need leaders who will fight to straight up abolish ICE, not body cameras and β€œaccountability”. Vote Nida Allam!

Medicare for All - "That's socialism!"

Social Security - "That's socialism!"

Debt free education - "That's socialism!"

Universal childcare - "That's socialism!"

Billions for ICE, refurbishing Trump's Qatar jet, and tax cuts for the rich...

"That's just how it is."

Outside Money Flows into 4th Congressional District Primary, Again In the race between U.S. Rep. Valerie Foushee andΒ  Nida Allam, outside PACs have spent more than $1 million, mostly benefiting the challenger in an election dominated by the issue of campaign finance.

Which wouldn’t be Representative Foushee whose top donors include the crypto industry

A chart of Duke energy rate increases over time. Duke energy plans to hike electric bills by $35 per month between now and 2030 to build out power generation capacity for more data centers to whom the offer discounts. Duke made almost 5B in profit last year, but they say half of all power demand increase comes from data centers.

Duke Energy is raising our rates to supply data centers who buy from them at a discount. All this to power AI and crypto. We need a representative who’s not going to take money from the tech industry if we are ever going to fix the cost of living crisis.

And here is our current representative after the genocide started with the head war criminal.

She only stopped taking AIPAC money when it became clear that it would cost her votes.

Vote for a representative who values morality over money. Vote Nida

Here is a video of ICE terrorizing children.

Valerie Foushee thinks ICE should have body cameras, as if that would change anything. Allam would fight to end this entirely by fighting to abolish ICE. Help us stop these thugs completely. Vote for Nida Allam.

This time the song remains the same

β€œThe latest campaign finance records end Dec. 31. The numbers may have changed in the months since, but in 2025 Foushee’s campaign brought in more money from political groups and corporate PACs than it did from individual people.”

β€œFoushee won after political action committees backed by cryptocurrency billionaire Sam Bankman-Fried and the Israel lobby poured millions of dollars into ads on Foushee’s behalf.”

He was a veteran and a VA nurse. He lived a life dedicated to his country and he died protecting people. A true hero.

A lot of people have pointed out that penguins don’t live in Greenland, but I’m more disturbed by the implication that Trump is going to fuck it.

Jack Smith: "My fear is that we have seen the rule of law function in our country for so long that many of us have come to take it for granted. The rule of law is not self-executing. It depends on our collective commitment to apply it."

When Democrats folded in the last government shutdownβ€”rescuing the GOP majority from itself and helping them pass a budget, giving validation to the Trump administration’s lawbreakingβ€”the savvy politics knowers explained that folding was clearly worth it because it got the Epstein Files released.

If calling a state secret police agent a murderer for committing murder will lead to more murder by the state secret police, it sure seems like the problem is with the secret police
