Those who stand for nothing will fall for anything.

If every single person who had spent the last 40 years telling Leftists that they're being "dramatic" had actually pushed for change or shut things down, we wouldn't be here.

Oh, you wanna come for voters about an outcome?

WELL, HERE IT IS. ACCEPT THE CRITIQUE AND ACT ACCORDINGLY.

We go from β€œvote for the lesser of two evils” but when you make valid critique ppl seem to forget they just agreed this person is evil…the lesser evil sure but evil nonetheless.

Like there’s no way ppl should be getting flak for criticizing a politician. Stan culture in politics is insane.

There were many aspects of Alex’s film, WTO/99, made entirely of archival footage, that broke my brain. Every location was very familiar, I remembered names of politicians and tv journalists buried somewhere in the deepest recesses of my brain. It was also very prescient. I recommend you see it.

I’m honestly at a point where I’m just like fuck independents. I’m tired of the political strategy that caters to them. We need bold, progressive leadership that encourages people to get out and vote. Tired of confused voters in the middle costing us elections.

The 2026 midterms have to be about impeachment. If you aren’t able to make case to the American people now, you aren’t going to suddenly find the willpower to do what is so obviously necessary after being elected. If we still have a Constitutionβ€”or laws at allβ€”impeachment is necessary.

When this ICE shit started, a mutual I’d never met asked how to help. I sent him to a friend’s kid’s preschool that was struggling to find patrollers. He’s been there almost daily, even in brutal cold, at a school where he didn’t know anyone, to keep folks safe. We finally met and got beers tonight.

ICE was very active in Minneapolis today, they kidnapped multiple people. ICE didn't leave, the media has moved on but we are still under federal occupation.

The morally bankrupt Trump administration has partnered with another morally bankrupt authoritarian to declare an unprovoked war on Iran, already killing scores of civilians.

We need an immediate vote from Congress on a War Powers Resolution. Then articles of impeachment.

A U.S. official said American military strikes on Iran were underway.

A U.S. official said American military strikes on Iran were underway.

Remember when Congress authorized the use of force against Iran?

Me neither.

Any U.S. attack on Iran would violate U.S. and international law.

Wow. Universal employees staged a walkout to highlight that ICE has devastated tourism, imperiling their jobs. They aren’t wrong.

ICE is bad for the US, full stop.

Key questions surround the death of a nearly blind refugee after he was dropped off at a coffee shop alone | CNN The death of a Rohingya refugee in Buffalo, New York, has raised pressing questions about how federal immigration agents handled his release from their custody – and what happened in the five days he ...

A blind refugee who did not speak English was found dead after ICE goons dumped him in the freezing cold. They did not notify his family or lawyer. The coffee shop they claimed to leave him at was closed.

New video of their depravity recently came out. ICE is evil, sadistic and rotten to the core.

This is obviously being done to put the US in a "state of war" where any campaigning and any votes against the GOP, as well as any disagreement on policy, are acts of sedition.

Just saying, but when people are trying to do everything they can to prevent you from voting, that’s when you absolutely need to vote.

Ready to make this the biggest midterm turnout in history?

US military used laser to take down Border Protection drone, lawmakers say Members of Congress say the U.S. military used a laser to shoot down a Customs and Border Protection drone.

Resign.
Resign.
Resign.

Have some basic decency: resign.

The situation in Minneapolis: even though the ICE presence in the city is greatly reduced, and national attention has moved on, a huge portion of our population remains essentially in hiding, devastating the schools and economy. In particular, much of the education system remains in crisis

Can we deport ICE? Citizens seem to be fair game and I’m a firm believer of treat people the way you want to be treated. They showed us how they want to be treated, I think it’s only fair we oblige.

BREAKING: Bill Clinton:

It's not hyperbole to suggest that today we have a federal government that doesn't so much represent or resemble a federal administration as it does a family crime syndicate.
