If an entire large city was on fire I’d think the president would be expected to go there to tour the damage.

At what point will people start to acknowledge that WE CAN'T FUCKING IGNORE THIS ANYMORE!!! Should be our MAIN priority but instead we're concerned about escalators malfunctioning and crypto. It's the biggest stain on humanity ever (plus we're fucked!)

Mike Davis clerked for Neil Gorsuch, worked in DOJ and on the Senate Judiciary Committee. Now he is an election denier troll who peddles conspiracies on Steve Bannon's show.

So, of course, all of that makes him a close ally of the Trump regime.

I wonder how many ICE dudes read Anne Frank’s diary in high school and thought, “I’d have gotten her sooner.”

“I don’t watch the news”
“I don’t follow politics”
"It's too depressing"

Cool, cool. But politics follows you, into your rent, healthcare, rights, your future.

Opting out doesn’t make you neutral. It just makes you uninformed in a world run by those who aren’t.
Fascism rises when people look away.

I know Mike Johnson says there is nothing for the House to do but there is.

You see by law a budget was supposed to be in place by Sept 30th, but Rs haven’t passed one. The reason? There isn’t a GOP budget. They haven’t even started working on one. This is what the House should be doing FFS!

The way people are celebrating this Trumper who supports the killing of her own people off the coast of Latin America is wild to me. She is not who you think she is. Neither she nor Trump deserves the Nobel.

But what do I know? I've only been covering Venezuela for more than a decade.

The Gaza Israel is a contrived real estate deal for Boy Kushner, Traitor Trump and War criminal Netanyahu.

There is no real Peace deal. The Palestinians have no longer have homes or schools or hospitals everything has been flattened.

With Larry Ellison in control of TikTok, we now have right-wingers or looney far-right wingers in control of most of the major social media platforms.

Right-Wing Moguls Dominate Social Media. One Legal Fix Can Help Stem the Tide.

Revising Section 230 of the 1996 Communications Decency Act would make outlets more accountable for the content they platform.

During a military-style raid on a building in Chicago’s South Shore, one resident heard a knock on his door.   It wasn’t the feds — it was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for help.

He let them hide in his unit for the next 3 days.

A Very Cynical Plan:

1. Lie about Antifa being real & powerful.

2. Lie about nonexistent "riots" in peaceful Democrat cities.

3. Lie that Jan 6 goons playing dress-up as ICE are sent to stop riots when they are going to start them.

4. Lie about who is funding Antifa so you can shut them down.

Yesterday they were shooting priests in the head with rubber bullets. Today they're arresting journalists. If you have anyone in your life who doesn't regularly follow the news and doesn't understand how bad things are and how bad they're about to get, you need to tell them right now. Time is short.
