I just don’t see how we can pretend even for a moment that anything involving our federal government is remotely normal when the president is covering up his involvement in a child sex trafficking ring. Like, what are we doing here

Excessive force. PERIOD!

They called them β€œviolent mobs,” but the violence came from the guys with badges and body armor.

πŸ“Œ Keep sharing videos, everyone, because they’re evidence.

I see that CBS chose not to air this part. It probably explains much of what they did decide to air.

Welch: "This has nothing to do with the shutdown. The law requires and the funds are available to continue SNAP right now without any interruption. So that is a decision the president is making on his own to allow people to go hungry."

So, which billionaires will step up? Oh, right; it’s the rest who don’t have obscene amounts of wealth who will actually try to fill the gap.

Yes, they did vote for this. Whatever else they thought they were getting, none of this was secret, none of it was hard to find. They chose what to believe, made their peace with it, and now pathologically resist admitting what they did. So they blame the rest of us for not persuading them.

Kidnapping, assault, battery, deprivation of rights under color of law … these are not their duties. Anyone who stops *that* is a hero, not a felon.

We all need to be screaming at top of lungs that this is not ok. We can’t allow this to be normal.

Chicago Mayor Issues Defiant Call For A General Strike It was an audacious proposal, given that the U.S. has never held a true, nationwide general strike.

JB Pritzker looking at prosecuting ICE agents in Chicago Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker has suggested that state prosecutors might examine the conduct of ICE agents.

Good. Even if this doesn’t work, it’s time to go on offense.

California, this November 4th, the whole country is counting on you.

Prop 50 puts our elections back on a level playing field, preserves independent redistricting over the long term, and lets the people decide.

So return your ballot today. Vote yes on 50.

Newsom and Pritzker Are Showing How to Attack an Authoritarian Crook Arkadi Gerney, a Democratic strategist, says Democratic governors and attorneys general have the greatest ability to stop Trumpβ€”and they’re doing it in ways that are underappreciated.

The United States is in the midst of a β€œcold civil war.” For liberals to win it, they must use β€œhardball” tacticsβ€”including borrowing from the Republicans’ own playbook.

The mainstream media loves making it seam like dysfunction in Washington is coming from both parties.

Hello?

Much of the GOP no longer accepts the rule of law, or the norms of democracy, or the legitimacy of the opposing party.

Enough of the false equivalence.

This very very very bad. I cannot stress this enough. I said that they crossed the Rubicon with arresting Ras Baraka several months ago. This is very bad and portends more bad things for regular people.

I’m horrified by Trump’s order to send 300 National Guard troops to Chicago. We’re only nine months into a four year term and already the president is trying to invade an American city. If you’re in the Guard, you can and should refuse these orders.
