A Chicago pastor describes being shot seven times with pepper balls by federal agents outside the ICE facility in Broadview, Illinois.

The agents were laughing as they shot at protesters. Shameful!

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion.

The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion.

Read that back.

When 400 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

Baldwin: Our farmers are facing incredible headwinds. A lot of the fertilizer inputs come from Canada. Those have shot up because of tariffs. About a quarter of all farmers use the ACA for their health care coverage. This president is just contributing to the headwinds that our farmers are facing.

Meme graphic that shows Elizabeth Warren saying to RFK Jr: 

β€œYou said that if vaccines are working for someone, I’m not going to take them away. Did you hold up a big sign saying you were lying when you said that?”

RFK Jr. said, β€œIf vaccines are working for somebody, I’m not going to take them away.”

Then, he did.

RFK Jr. is a liar.

β€œKennedy would be less hazardous if he decided to do cardiac surgery. Then he would kill people only one at a time rather than his current ability to kill by the thousands. Why is it that killing a single person is seen as murder but killing masses is excused if you are a politician?”

Like you I've seen all the pics people post here abt the steady increase of tacky gold crap he keeps adding to the oval office. But somehow it wasn't until I saw this picture that it just hit me. What the actual fuck. Like a Vegas whorehouse.

β€œMy 0% Unemployment Plan”

Kyle Langford is running for Governor of California, he posted a photo of himself smiling, it appears he superimposed a photo of himself in front of an Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp. A symbol for the terror of the Holocaust. 

Auschwitz was a network of concentration camps built and operated in occupied Poland by Nazi Germany during World War II. Auschwitz I and nearby Auschwitz II-Birkenau was the extermination camp where an estimated 1.1 million people, mostly Jews from across Europe, were killed in gas chambers or from systematic starvation, forced labor, disease and medical experiments.

The original photo that he superimposed his photo on top of, is the main entrance at the former Nazi death camp of Auschwitz in Oswiecim, Poland, with the inscription, "Arbeit Macht Frei," which translates into English as '"Work sets you free," pictured on Dec. 8, 2019.

I really hope that folks get off their couch and vote in the midterms in 2026.

We’re facing unprecedented times. When you don’t vote β€” we end up with POS like this.

This nazi is running for Governor of California.

Other countries tax their billionaires to help its citizens. Republicans in our country believe it’s better to take away healthcare & other life-saving services, your hard earned benefits & take away regulations that keep you safe & healthy. All this & more to give to our billionaires

Slingshot News: On "Pod Force One" with Miranda Devine, Speaker Mike Johnson goes off a delusional monologue praising Trump and touting him as a thoughtful leader, claiming "he thinks very carefully about decisions."

He's got the IQ of a Q-tip, but sure he does.

Life is scary when your government hates you. Any traffic stop, any passing cop, any asshole with an attitude and a cell phone ... can turn ugly really fast.

Ask any Black or Brown person. And in many states, ask any trans person.

All hate is awful. Government hate is horrific.

Trump has ordered 500 metric tons of food to be incinerate rather than be distributed abroad or in the US to those who are hungry.

He's given an order for food that could feed 1.5M children for a week to be burned, rather than feed children who face hunger.

Did you know if you’re poor and need food stamps the government is going to run a full background check on you?

But if you want to write laws for an entire country, you don’t need one.

Because the system wasn’t created to hold the powerful accountable.

It was created to hold us in check.
