I have been exiled to and/or from the Twitter Gulag. Ride or die for 29 U.S. Code § 157. Long live the gerontocracy.

It’s been a long time since my Latin American Politics class but I remember that people generally don’t like it when you target priests

Um, ICE just coldly shot an unarmed PRIEST in the head w a pepper ball when he (and everyone around him) clearly posed no threat.

For the crime of … complaining about government policy.

Core 1A speech.

With cameras rolling, they’re sniping priests for sport.

I genuinely don't think we can set things right in this country until these people are publicly humiliated and ruined and maybe marched to the gallows.

Honestly I just can't stand how these people want to burn everything down and then pull the "How dare you?" card when called on it. Crybullies, all of them.

Ruben Gallego on whether Trump is talking to Democrats:

“Look, the President clearly has some kind of dementia, so I think there's a he's probably talking to himself, or think he's talking to a Democrat, but I sincerely doubt that that's actually he's actually physically talking to a Democrat.“

Today marks the two-year anniversary of the horrific October 7 attack.

As we mourn the 1,218 lives lost that day, let us also keep alive the dream of a lasting peace and a better future for all.

Ceasefire now. Every hostage must come home. And a safer world for everyone.

All children deserve lives unburdened by hate, war, guns, bombs, kidnapping, or murder. All people deserve equal rights to peace, dignity, and self-determination.

Such an operation would have been unabashedly legal and defensible. It's an armed conflict, a raid to probe your enemies' defenses and kill and capture their combatants is just Tuesday.

Man I’m in like the top 0.1% of Americans for, like, quantitative financial modeling and the idea of having to do some kind of actuarial underwriting of my expected healthcare expenses to buy a plan strikes me as such an insane way to run a system (no shade on OP for the great thread, to be clear)

She’s a seditious, treasonous usurper of America’s tradition of impartial justice and rule of law, and one day she should pay a terrible price for her betrayal of the Constitution and the oath she swore

I was once trying to get my laptop camera to work for a group call and it would, so I said "oh you stupid motherfucking piece of shit," to which there was a moment of silence and then "Rev, you are not on mute."

I'm honored to have Sen. @agounardes' support in this campaign for a New York that truly works for everyone.

From tackling the affordability crisis to rebuilding trust in government, we share a vision for a city where no one has to struggle just to make ends meet.

Zohran is good, almost everyone in the replies here should be locked into a portable toilet and set on fire.

Zohran making a statement that he had to know would enrage the more deranged of his supporters is more evidence of him juice-having I think.

It's not just that they're going to strike down a law against conversion therapy, it's that they're going to do it on behalf of made-up claims from a straw plaintiff who can't honestly show the law affected her at all

“Two years ago today, Hamas carried out a horrific war crime, killing more than 1,100 Israelis and kidnapping 250 more. I mourn these lives and pray for the safe return of every hostage still held and for every family whose lives were torn apart by these atrocities.

In the aftermath of that day, Prime Minister Netanyahu and the Israeli government launched a genocidal war: adeath toll that now far exceeds 67,000; with the Israeli military bombing homes, hospitals, and schools into rubble. Every day in Gaza has become a place where grief itself has run out of language. I mourn these lives and pray for the families that have been shattered. Our government has been complicit through it all.

This must end. The occupation and apartheid must end. Peace must be pursued through diplomacy, not war crimes, and our government must act to end these atrocities and hold those responsible to account.

These last two years have demonstrated the very worst of humanity. We must answer it by modeling the very best: a relentless pursuit of our higher ideals and an unwavering commitment to universal human rights.”
