We supported our neighborhood Zipps this afternoon. It reopened 3 weeks after an ICE raid of the Phoenix bar and grill chain. Our server lost 3 weeks of wages and tips during the shutdown.

This entire State of the Union is basically a reboot of The Emperor Has No Clothes.

Just lies upon lies and Republican Reeks surrounding their aging King with fake smiles and applause.

We are the laughingstock of the world because of our moronic and psychotic president. Deservedly so.

A base that has long made pragmatic, sober decisions appears increasingly attracted to charismatic outsiders who promise to break from the party’s failures of the last decade. They see their party’s leaders as feckless and inept.

It’s the Democratic Tea Party, with a twist. trib.al/mC5cBDA

What a time for Jesse to leave us, having seen a petty, miserable little tyrant/racist shit all over the work of his lifetime, without seeing that tyrant get what's coming to him.

Rest in peace, if at all possible Jesse. We got this one.

This gives me PTSD. I was Hillary all the way in 2016 but would've jumped behind Bernie if he got the nod. All the infighting gave us trump. Please no repeat...

I think we are going to have a Democratic-controlled Senate.

And all we will need for the leadership of that Democratic Senate to do is hold actual, real, impeachment trials.

As the Constitution requires.

Not the bullshit fake trials like the ones that the Senate held in 2020 and 2021...

β€˜South Texas will never be red again’: Home builders warn GOP over Trump’s immigration raids Construction executives have held multiple meetings over the last month with the White House and Congress to discuss immigration busts on job sites.

Texas Republicans thought Latino and Independent voters would go along no matter what.

Nope.

That gerrymander is going to backfire.

Lotta fat old guys telling Olympic athletes that they should be sent home. No one is stopping you from getting off your couches and training to take their spots. Until then, enjoy watching them exercise their free speech rights. Go team USA.

I want to thank everyone who posts gift articles of really important stories that all Americans should read but are behind paywalls so most can’t.

There are some stories that are so important to the public interest that media companies should remove paywalls on some occasions.

Breaking the Silencing Machine In many ways this society has moved toward a democracy of voices, as people who for their race or gender were shut out of systems of power and possibility – out of jury duty, professions, institutions...

To have a voice means not just the animal capacity to utter sounds but the ability to participate fully in the conversations that shape your society, your relations to others, and your own life. There are three key things that matter in having a voice: audibility, credibility, and consequence.
