disappointing to see every big account on this website line up to stoke rage and fear and doom into everyone's hearts based on what is already been explained to be misleading.

as @threnody.bsky.social said, you will have plenty of other opportunities for despair and to criticize Newsom!

BREAKING: Country singer Zach Bryan condemns ICE raids in new song “Bad News”:

“And ICE is gonna come, bust down your door — Try to build a house no one builds no more, but I got a telephone. Kids are all scared and all alone.”

Let’s try this again it’s a new day. I’m bewildered that no one has answered.

Dear MAGA: why would Donald consider pardoning Maxwell, a sex trafficker for Epstein? Again a reminder, Biden is not president and you guys called for the release of the files repeatedly. So… why?

282 Ex DOJ officials open letter: “We believe it’s our duty to sound the alarm about this administration’s degradation of DoJ’s vital work, and its assault on the public servants who do it”

"Stephen Miller wants to spend $27 billion to deport 1 million immigrants, who currently contribute $89 billion in taxes each year.

Do the math: that's $106 billion net loss for America.

Tell us again how it's not about racism and xenophobia."

RAJU: You swore in 2 GOP members during pro forma session. Why not swear in Grijalva? Does it have to do w/her signature on Epstein petition?

JOHNSON: It has nothing to do with that. We'll swear her in when everybody is back

R: Why not now?

J: Uh - we'll schedule it, I guess, as soon as she wants

Pam Bondi admits she spoke to Apple to "get the ICEBlock app taken down." Sounds an awful lot like coercion to suppress disfavored speech to me. A clear violation of the 1st Amendment.
