Thank you for pushing that criminal-enabling disgrace to the office so relentlessly. I’m very glad to have you representing us in Wa state.

@atrupar.com on Bluesky 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."

Expect a never-ending stream of guerilla rainbow flags being hoisted on that spot. And, sadly, the likely firing of park rangers who fail to keep up with the order.

Sir, as awful as this is, I would say any trust held by our closest allies was crushed in the first few months of 2025’s tariffs, saber-rattling, NATO-dissing, USAID-crushing, and Putin-coddling. For now, let’s focus on ending ICE and helping Dem colleagues winning the midterms. Do SOMETHING.

This is why our Seahawks need to win - because they will have no qualms about boycotting the audience with the would-be king.

Gross. Aranofsky, every voice actor and every union member who participated in this is a bootlicking scab who are spitting in the face of all who fought tooth and nail for the protections they're taking advantage of

Block all funding. Shut down the government for as long as it takes, and lean into mutual aid for furloughed federal workers. The country needs this reset, and the administration needs this lesson.

A lot of Dems are going to take Bovino and Noem being fired as the finish line, and it's very important to make it clear to them that it is a starting line

Here's the thing, Greg β€” free speech is still protected by the First Amendment under the Constitution.

If you want folks to stop saying you're the secret police who are kidnapping and killing people, maybe stop acting like the secret police who are kidnapping and killing people.
