Being My Black Autistic Self

If Senate Republicans refuse to strip out the DHS bill to put real constraints on ICE — and hold hostage the vast majority of government funding — then Republicans are complicit in the chaos and own the potential government shutdown.

It’s time to stop ICE’s violence.

Alex Jeffrey Pretti was an ICU nurse at a VA hospital. His life, through his profession, was dedicated to serving his community and our country.

As so many have now seen on video, his final act before he was killed by federal agents was doing everything in his power to protect his community.

Holy shit.

There is a reason he’s forced to cause all of this chaos. He has NO PLAN. He funds no programs, no healthcare, no education, no lower prices, money coming in only supports more chaos. He envies other dictators. I challenge ANYONE to tell me just one single thing he’s accomplished? Discussion open

Investigating elected officials for speech is not law enforcement but intimidation. If governors and mayors can be investigated for criticizing federal actions, neither elected officials nor anyone else is truly free to speak. #holdfast

If Trump or Vance or Musk do something that seems completely irrational to you, ask yourself “is this getting them more attention?”

If the answer is “yes” then actually it makes perfect sense.

And the answer will always be yes.

No words.

Screenshot of a post on X by Jo (@JoJoFromJerz) that says: “If you’ve ever needed a reason to vote blue in the midterms…” It quotes Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) posting a Trump quote: “You gotta win the midterms… Because if we don’t win the midterms, they'll find a reason to impeach me. I'll get impeached.” Below is a video still of Trump speaking at a podium with multiple American flags behind him, with a “cc” icon indicating closed captions.

Oh no! Not accountability for Trump, not that!

Google the video & see for yourself.

This is not law enforcement. This is murder.

Sickening.

This new war is not only illegal, reckless and deeply corrupt, it is the latest in a series of increasingly desperate distractions from the EPSTEIN Files.

Screenshot of an X post from “Republicans against Trump” stating Trump used a veto to block a Colorado drinking water project. The post includes a quoted statement criticizing the veto and two photos below: one of Trump seated indoors and another of a woman wearing a red “Make America Great Again” hat, smiling at an event.

The MAGA right is fighting each other again. The losers are their constituents.

As we bid goodbye to 2025 — and all the thuggery, corruption, squalor, and cruelty it spewed — I want to thank you for standing up to it. Some thoughts on the year that was...

BREAKING NEWS: Actual facts appear for the first time on "Truth" Social.

“Trump said he’s going to annex Canada!” That motherfucker already forgot he said that shit

If this doesn't motivate you to vote in the Midterms, nothing will.

He’s a ra*ist.

We could go with a “p” or a “c” and either way it’s still accurate, and you would probably still know who I’m talking about.

All I want for Xmas. 🙏

Why don't ppl realize, since everything Trump says is a fucking lie,by reposting his lies,that makes YOU guilty of spreading disinformation& Russian propaganda &your doing his dirty work 4 him?10 years in&ppl still don't have a fucking clue repeating his shit in any form is fkn dangerous&HELPS HIM!

one thing i think liberals should work harder to understand is that capitalism is deeply conservative

😯

If Trump gets to overturn birthright citizenship, I never want to hear another fucking excuse from any Dem ever again for why they can't just do whatever the fuck they want.

Spot on, Mr. Rather. 🎯 💯

Appeals court disqualifies ex-Trump lawyer Alina Habba as New Jersey prosecutor

A US appeals court has ruled that President Donald Trump's former personal lawyer, Alina Habba, has been unlawfully serving as top federal prosecutor for New Jersey - in a ruling that may affect scores of criminal cases in the state.

In case you needed even more motivation to vote in the Midterm elections...

#AccountabilityIsComing

To all Airlines, Pilots, Drug Dealers, and Human Traffickers, please consider THE AIRSPACE ABOVE AND SURROUNDING VENEZUELA TO BE CLOSED IN ITS ENTIRETY. Thank you for your attention to this matter! PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP

Meanwhile… The U.S. does not legally have the authority to close another country's airspace.

A screenshot of a social media post from “Republicans against Trump.” The post quotes Marco Rubio from 2016 criticizing Donald Trump. Below the text is a CNN interview screenshot showing a man in a suit speaking with U.S. and Florida flags behind him. The on-screen chyron reads: “RUBIO: TRUMP RHETORIC LIKE ‘THIRD-WORLD STRONG MEN’” and “Sen. Marco Rubio (R) Presidential Candidate.”

Marco Rubio knew the truth 9 years ago, but he sold his soul for power. Yet he was correct: He will one day have to explain his support for Trump, and this is not going to end well.

Why do you appreciate unions?

I’ll start:

Weekends off
Paid vacations
Work breaks
Sick leave
Paid holidays
No child labor
Safer working conditions
Health care and retirement benefits
