This level of corruption is not normal or acceptable. Even if we are exhausted by each report of it going further and further, we can never grow numb to it.

If you burn the fabric part, you're looking at jail.
But it you use the pole part to assault a police officer, you get a presidential pardon, praise, and some cash.

Appreciation post for this incredible American showing up in Marjorie Taylor Greene’s own district to say HELL NO to the chaos, cruelty, and coverups. When grandmas are grabbing neon signs and oxygen tanks to speak truth you know the tide is turning.

This is moving.
Kamala Harris feels the pain we feel. Not just from her loss, but from the trauma and abuse our country is living through.
What could have been…
"How can we communicate with optimism about the future … when we're living in the here and now where American democracy is in peril? … And we're supposed to ignore it? Leave it to others to wrestle with …? No no no no no. …

That certainly takes balls to cut 17 million people off health care and then announce you're spending $200 million to build a new ballroom. Let them eat cake.

Under the bill, if a U.S. court orders the return of someone wrongfully deported—whether a U.S. citizen, green card holder, or noncitizen who had lawful status at the time (including asylees, refugees, TPS holders, Special Immigrant Juveniles, Deferred Action recipients, or those with pending bona fide asylum or immigration cases)—and a foreign government refuses to comply, the United States is required to take action. The bill requires the U.S. to suspend diplomatic ties, foreign aid, and visas for that country’s government officials and their immediate family members until the person is returned to the United States.

The president of the United States and the president of El Salvador have conspired to kidnap a man and hold him hostage in an El Salvador prison. This criminality ignores the rule of law and thumbs its nose at a Supreme Court ruling to facilitate his return.
