And now they’re lying because they voted for all of this - just were not smart enough to realize they’d be hurt too.

What's wild to me is this "selfie-flotilla is getting so much international attention for their ridiculous shenanigans, while WCK is on the ground in Gaza feeding hundreds of thousands every day. No dramatics. No publicity. Just working up to a million+ hot meals/day. 😏

When I worked for a congressman, 80% of his staff’s time was spent securing delinquent VA payments to vets and widows. Some were owed hundreds of thousands. The Post is dumpster diving based on someone in the VA leaking selective data to them.

Bluesky deleted all my followers.

You wouldn’t know them, though. They go to a different school.

Claim: 10 cars rammed ICE
Truth: No cars rammed ICE

Claim: She boxed ICE in
Truth: ICE boxed her in

Claim: She shot a rifle at ICE
Truth: She did not have a rifle

Claim: ICE returned fire
Truth: Only ICE fired

Claim: She drove herself to the hospital
Truth: Paramedics found her

If you didn’t vote? You also voted for this. ✔️

As this story shows, trusting the DHS version of events is a big mistake.

"the video shows an agent turn federal vehicle left into Martinez’s vehicle, after which an agent says, “Do something b----.” The agent then exits the vehicle and shoots at Martinez."

Relatedly, got a lot of pushback for saying i think it's bad if our permission structures say we can tell people we don't like, even open fascists/nazis, to kill themselves

Because there are people who have told me, and/or other people i like here, to kill ourselves

Sorry, not a big fan of that

Black people in Chicago had their apartment building raided in the middle of the night, were detained for hours, and had their Fourth Amendment rights violated during an ICE operation that had nothing to do with them. Nah, they are not thrilled.

Fuck, and I cannot emphasize this enough, Ro Khanna

what if I told you that taking accountability for your actions was traditionally considered a load-bearing feature of masculinity?

I think you meant "crowned with BEES"

Since these are the opening lines of The Hummer's Dance.

Today is the 17th day in a row that House Republicans have refused to come to work.

Instead of preventing health care costs from skyrocketing, they’re preventing the Epstein files from being released.

Fuck this Blackwater mercenary asshole now pretending to be a leftist because he knows leftists are the easiest marks on Earth.

And complaining about fundraising texts while spamming people with fundraising texts… how does anyone fall for this shit?!

maybe should have told the speaker of the house about this before he scheduled a district work period from tomorrow through next monday? #uspoli

“Did you see the way that moderator was dressed?”

Republican Speaker of the House Mike Johnson canceled all votes this week (partly to avoid swearing in Rep. Grijalva, who’d be the 218th discharge petition signer re the Epstein docs.).

Republican Senate Majority Leader John Thune won’t negotiate to let people keep healthcare.

Trump won’t either.

Anything they can do to erase the agency and responsibility of Trump & Republicans in their framing, theyll do

No JB Pritzker definitely called for the 25th

And they’re not legislating because speaker Johnson shut down the house for another week….

And the rest, they are absolutely doing. In fact some of it is literally in today’s post.

In other words, the fucking orange idiot is flailing and hoping sending any guard from any state will stick despite him losing every time.

You know what would've prevented this stupidity? VOTING FOR THE SMART LADY IN BOTH 2016 AND 2024. #Hillary #Kamala

*leftishly* "obey your customers so that you can create more shareholder value!"

i think it’s pretty clear that the president of the united states used to fuck kids. now what will people do with that information, i don’t know.

Yet more political violence, planned and supported by Republicans.

This is your reminder, Trump unilaterally surrendered to the Taliban in Afghanistan after ordering the release from prison of 5,000 Taliban terrorists who then attacked Americans during the withdrawal he left to Joe Biden to complete.

Portland is not burning to the ground. Why doesn’t the press call him out on his fucking lies? And I want to see them them yelling at him the way they always yelled at Joe Biden.

The wrong rock is whichever rock was chosen. Even if it was previously the right rock

The hairpin turn people made from "Trump take egg" to "that fucking clown Schumer keeps talking about egg prices", oftentimes multiple times back and forth within a week
