Be aware of which political party wants the American people to vote and will protect our collective right to do so…and which political party wants to restrict that right so that they may remain in power indefinitely.

The difference could not be clearer than at the present moment.

Opinion | Trump Demeans Himself as He Attacks the Supreme Court He calls the Justices who ruled against him ‘very unpatriotic’ and ‘fools.’

“President Trump owes the Supreme Court an apology—to the individual Justices he smeared on Friday and the institution itself. Mr. Trump doubtless won’t offer one, but his rant in response to his tariff defeat at the Court was arguably the worst moment of his Presidency.” | WSJ #Legal

Beyond sad!

Virginia Giuffre’s Brother: It was disgraceful that Bondi couldn't even acknowledge us because if they did that, then they would admit wrongdoing. Our president can't do that. The reason is he is potentially implicated in these files. He may have to answer some questions himself.

“It is time to acknowledge what has become tragically obvious: the Trump administration is operating as a massive criminal enterprise.”

This absolutely captures it. Instead of "Trump Administration," we should say "Trump Syndicate."

Republicans, Braced for Losses, Push More Voting Restrictions in Congress

We all need to be ready for this -- Lawyers, activists, elected officials, election workers and philanthropists. The fight for democracy is the fight of our generation. And it is most squarely before us in the battle for free and fair elections this November. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/17/u...

Sad sack of shits 💩💩💩

Insanity. They are laughing at us.

The Constitution is currently being interpreted by the Epstein Class at SCOTUS.

A reckless & dangerous ICE apprehension chase led to the death of another US citizen.

Linda Davis, a special education teacher, was killed because of #ICELawlessness.

Call Congress at 202-224-3121 & demand accountability!

It's okay if you've called before. Call every day until they call back.

$4 BILLION — So corrupt.

There is no debating this. Anyone who says otherwise is telling on themselves.

The Disastrous First Year of RFK Jr. The damage the HHS secretary has done to science and public health is appalling—and it could have been avoided.

"It is beyond comprehension that the Senate confirmed this man to oversee America’s health. The risks are so immediate and constant that it can be difficult to keep track of them all."

GEORGE RETES: “My name is George Retes. I was born and raised here in Ventura, California. I’m 26 years old and I am an Iraq combat veteran. I was going to work like normal. I show up. ICE is there. There’s kind of like a roadblock. I get out. I identify myself — that I’m a U.S. citizen, that I’m just trying to get to work. I’m trying to leave. I’m getting ready to leave and they surround my car, start banging on it, start shouting these contradictory orders. Even though I was giving them no reason, they still felt the need to — one agent knelt on my back and another agent knelt on my neck. And during that time, I’m just pleading with them that I couldn’t breathe. I was in isolation. I was in basically this concrete cell. I was stripped naked in like a hospital gown. And they leave the lights on 24/7. They just came out and they said that I was violent and that I assaulted agents. Why lie when it’s on video of everything that happened? Why lie?”

Ofelia Torres, Teen With Cancer Who Fought For Father's Freedom From ICE, Has Died Torres, 16, died Friday. Her father was arrested in October, the day after she returned from more than a month at the hospital for cancer treatments. She shared her family's plight, and her was father...

Ofelia Torres' bravery in the face of injustice was beyond words — her courage became a symbol of strength at a time when even the strongest would have bowed.

My deepest condolences to her family and loved ones.

May her memory be a blessing.

Bullshit.

Happy Valentines Day

For those unaware, a quick primer on perhaps the most dangerous of the oligarchs.

Peter Thiel.

THE HERITAGE FOUNDATION DID A STUDY TO FIND OUT HOW MANY PEOPLE VOTED IN A FEDERAL ELECTION THAT WERE UNDOCUMENTED. THEY FOUND A WHOPPING 77 VOTERS...IN 24 YEARS OF VOTING. IN 24 YEARS, 1,008,643,528 PEOPLE HAVE VOTED, WHICH MEANS THEY HAVE UNCOVERED AN ASTOUNDING .00000764% OF VOTERS THAT VOTED ILLEGALLY. THIS IS WHAT THEY ARE CALLING THE HUGE PROBLEM WITH VOTER FRAUD.

ICE has forfeited that claim thanks to its own behavior and leadership. It’s not a “legitimate law enforcement agency.” Defund ICE.

Sanders: The American people do not want this country to be an authoritarian society or an oligarchy. We have our differences, that’s what democracy is about—we argue it out. We don’t throw people who disagree in jail. We don’t intimidate the media. We don’t send ICE agents to shoot people.

Free Speech, NAAAWWWW!! #ChuckandJim

Bondi's charade Pam Bondi dropped the ball on the Epstein case a long time ago

“They didn’t count on how the survivors would mobilize into a force to be reckoned with — and that the public would rally to support them.

As Bondi screamed at Congress, I thought of Epstein’s survivors…And how they have been screaming for years to deaf ears.”

The arrogance and hubris of this administration will be its downfall.

I’ve watched a lot of congressional hearings over the last 40 years. This performance by Bondi is the single most unprofessional, non-responsive, reprehensible and obnoxious I have ever seen from any witness who has testified before any committee of either chamber.

This administration is a criminal administration.

Rep. Delia Ramirez to DHS officials: "I have as much respect for you as I do for the last white men who put on masks to terrorize communities of color. I have no respect for the inheritors of the Klanhood and the slave patrol. Those activities were criminal and so are yours."
