I heard a good point. If that officer felt “threatened” by that lady such that he had to kill her, he is too fragile to be a cop.

The reactionary centrist logic is simple: if the left does something bad it’s the left’s fault, and if the right does something bad, it’s also the left’s fault for making them do it. It’s a simple formula and once you see it every one of their arguments is the same

Yesterday, a Republican tried to give me holy water and Trump perfume because I’m “demonic.”

Extremely normal stuff coming from an extremely normal party.

There’s plenty of discourse about whether these Young Republicans mean the things they say.

And honestly, it doesn’t matter. Because whether they believe in it or not, the willingness to participate in these conversations predicts the willingness to perpetrate the violence they describe.

Republican Nancy Mace says she likes to watch videos of Ice detaining people Congresswoman says she ‘can think of nothing more American’ than Ice dragging people out of court

These are not just people with different ideas about governance. They are horrible people, down to their soul.

POLITICO compiled a list of all the Washington Post staffers who have left in the past eight months. It’s at least a hundred names, many of them among the biggest names in journalism. This is the fastest erosion of a major outlet ever.

America Needs Colbert The silencing of jokes and jabs on network airwaves shatters a tangible demonstration of nuanced thinking, free speech and philosophical complexity.

“The message being relayed is that the suits who are making these calls not only want to eliminate the Colbert problem, but the mere possibility of such a platform for political commentary of dissent.”

ICE memo outlines plan to deport migrants to countries where they are not citizens The dramatic shift in policy could result in thousands of immigrants being deported to places where they lack family ties or even a common language.

Breaking news: Federal immigration officers may deport immigrants with as little as six hours’ notice to countries other than their own, even without assurances that the arrivals will be safe from persecution or torture, a top official said.

I just left the Everglades Immigrant Interment Camp. No, I’m not using their ridiculous name. It was a very tough to witness humans in those cages. Every Floridian should be ashamed that our taxpayer money is being used for this.

"Adolf Hitler, pursuing a ruthless campaign for a 'Nasified' and loyal Germany, armed himself today with the power to cancel citizenships and and confiscate the property of critical or hostile citizens, including Germans living abroad."

🚨NEW: When ICE raided a Californian farm yesterday, they snatched & disappeared a disabled US veteran who was in his car.

They smashed his window, peppered sprayed him & dragged him to the floor.

Listen to his wife & sister here, distraught. No-one will tell them where he is.

U.S. Representative
@wassermanschultz.house.gov (D-FL) was given a sanitized “tour” of the Everglades MAGA torture camp and what she saw was enough to turn her stomach.

“They get their drinking water and brush their teeth where they poop.”

FL Dems are fighting to shut it down.

Red flag: The IRS has said in a court filing that churches and other houses of worship can endorse political candidates from the pulpit — carving out an exemption in a decades-old ban on political activity by tax-exempt nonprofits.

Gabbard’s team has sought spy agency data to enforce Trump’s agenda A team created by Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard has sought access to emails and chat logs of the largest U.S. spy agencies to root out “weaponization.”

It's an authoritarian cult for Trump. It's the entire Republican party and movement now.

I don't understand. God's hand saved hundreds, but it missed saving scores of others, including children. Why didn't God do a better job? And can't we just get Him/Her/They to stop extreme weather events caused by climate change?

Video of seagrass devastation cut from David Attenborough documentary Film-makers decided a clip of bottom-trawling fishing boats ripping up seagrass from Sir David Attenborough’s film Ocean was ‘too harsh’ for the public

Filmmakers cut footage of fishing boats destroying seagrass meadows, the plant on the planet having the highest capacity of carbon storage, because it was deemed “too shocking” from David Attenborough’s film Ocean. 🌊

Show the truth!!
