Democracy is dying in America.

ICE is a murderous secret police force. We’re about to bomb Iran for Israel. Your kids are shot at in school daily, and pedophiles run our government. There’s no healthcare, and your food is poisonous.

We need real leaders - not career politicians.

Had several people ask if I was going to catch the state of the union and let me tell you, if I didn't watch when we had an actual articulate president idk why I'd start now that we have a mumbly rapist

It is interesting to note where we are in terms of the dying Empire. We are no longer lying about colonial imperialism and the use of force abroad. We are still lying about the violence being used in the imperial core. One wonders how long that will continue.

So many things actually make sense beyond "that sounds cool, wonder what that's about?" Plus I'm loving all the secondary characters 1000x more now.

Pearl is such a sub for Lostara and shes always so fed up with him and horny about it, I love these two! #malazanreread #houseofchains #pearlhasatype

Making my way through The Malazan Book of the Fallen for a 2nd time after reading the first 6 ICE novels, and it's practically like reading a whole new series.

Seeing Rumeysa Ozturk snatched off the street by masked thugs evoked the actions of so many tyrannies: The Basij is Iran, Mukhabarat in Egypt or Syria, Mano Blanca in Guatemala & El Salvador, FRAPH in Haiti. They're practicing on foreigners, they'll move onto citizens soon enough.

Little Marco up there defending the New SS. @duckworth.senate.gov @durbin.senate.gov y'all voted to confirm this ghoul why, exactly?!

ICE Agents Abduct Tufts Ph.D. Student in Escalating Crackdown on Anti-Genocide Campus Protests Plainclothes immigration agents have detained another international student without warning, Turkish national and Tufts University Ph.D. student Rumeysa Ozturk. Surveillance video shows six masked age...

They are disappearing people. ICE=SS

anyway calling these "war plans" when they were actually plans to blow up an apartment building full of civilians because the girlfriend of a guy we don't like lived there sounds more like "terrorism plans" or perhaps even more accurately "terrorism factory creation plans"

I was thinking the same thing! US out there just casually causing huge numbers of collateral casualties, no wonder they're backing Israel's reckless genocide

Liberals: Young people need to run for office!
[5 seconds after one does] Not like that.

WE'VE RAISED $100,000 IN LESS THAN SEVEN HOURS!!!!

I'm SO grateful to the thousands of grassroots donors who've contributed so far -- and none of them are corporations or lobbyists!

Help us build a different type of campaign: secure.actblue.com/donate/abu-b...

The people in the comments like "HOW DARE YOU PRIMARY THIS 80-YEAR-OLD CONGRESSWOMAN?? AGE IS JUST A NUMBER!!"

Like... guys, in the past... 3 weeks, two Democratic members of Congress have literally died in office (5 in the past year!). Age is not just a number.

People are pushing back even if you don't see it on the nightly news

Is Legacy Media Dead? - Dame Magazine There was a time when people collectively agreed on what constituted "the news." Walter Cronkite would sign off with "And that's the way it is," and most Americans nodded along. The New York Times was...

Traditional media is not equipped to meet the present moment, exposed as empty mouthpieces of the ruling class status quo

This isn’t legal, Elon.

Musk steps up calls to impeach judges, offering $100 to voters who join in. America PAC is paying registered Wisconsin voters to sign its petition against “activist judges.” Talk about paid protesters. Now, judges are receiving violent threats online.

Right on, Senator!

We urge Senators @durbin.senate.gov and @duckworth.senate.gov to heed Gov Pritzker's words. VOTE NO.

Mahmoud Khalil should be at home with his pregnant wife.

Instead, he's been illegally abducted & had his constitutional right to free speech & due process stripped.

We're demanding his immediate release and we cannot allow this abuse of power to go unchecked. #FreeMahmoudKhalil

People are fighting back, and winning 🖤🌹

Any time you see an article frame something as "took action against transgender sports," do more digging.

75% of the time, whatever they are talking about also bans trans people from bathrooms/medical care/targets trans adults.

Sports is just a way to frame it as morally acceptable.

Might save a life.

Yeah, what does it say about you when your political instincts are "what if I try hating on this minority group that is experiencing a huge increase in targeted persecution 🤔?"

Seriously, what does he stand to gain from that? He's really just lifting the mask, another asshole who was just waiting for permission to shit on trans folx and the LGBTQ+ community

Oh my god do they have to be hateful and evil AND SO DUMB?!

Trans women transferred to men’s prisons despite rulings against Trump’s order Incarcerated trans women report being groped by male guards and suicidal thoughts: ‘I’m punished for existing’

Cruelty and scapegoating that is costing lives, and for what? Are we more free yet? The only freedom I've seen increase is the freedom for some people to express their hateful, bigoted feelings.
