REMEMBER THEY ARE CHOOSING TO DO THIS. THEY HAVE EMERGENCY FUNDS & ARE NOT USING THEM.

This is how they claim you were 'over the line'. They pull you over and start the riot for themselves.
This video from Portland is a metaphor for what is going on in America. ICE trying so hard to get Americans to cross a line and if they don't, dragging them across the line and violently attacking.

They aren’t hiding the totalitarianism, folks.
Stephen Miller on Fox threatens to arrest JB Pritzker for "seditious conspiracy" and says, "to all ICE officers: you have federal immunity in the conduct of your duties. And anybody who lays a hand on you or tries to stop or obstruct you is committing a felony."

trump's invulnerability primarily functions through the consensus that he is invulnerable
I am losing my gd mind seeing the number of people on here who are so doompilled that they cannot imagine that telling millions of people, including tons of MAGAs, that they’re out of food money and they also can’t have health insurance anymore might have any effect whatsoever on anything

The GOP in Congress are worse than useless. They are craven enablers of murder.

CNN’s CEO Mark Thompson reportedly told staff to ease off on coverage of Trump demolishing the east wing for his ballroom after visiting the White House.

Another outlet obeying in advance. Off the cliff we go. 😕 🇺🇸 www.status.news/p/mark-thomp...

“Walmart was the top employer of SNAP recipients in five states and one of the top four employers in the remaining four states. McDonald’s was among the top five employers of Medicaid enrollees in five of six states and SNAP recipients in eight of nine states.”

Whenever people complain about the number of folks relying on food stamps, it is worth reminding them that SNAP is, by too large of a degree, a subsidy for corporations that refuse to pay a living wage and their political allies who reject public policy prescriptions to reduce income inequality.

SNAP isn't about "people who don't work." It's about people who don't get paid enough to live.

Of the 40 or so million people who rely on food stamps:

* Two-thirds are children, seniors, or disabled

* Most working-age adults who receive SNAP are employed—but in jobs that pay poverty wages

Oh. Well what could go wrong?
ICYMI: Miami PD just rolled out “PUG” — an AI powered, fully autonomous, self driving patrol car with automated plate readers, thermal vision, and a built in drone that launches from its roof. They’re calling it “the future of law enforcement.”

It goes well with the Robocop outfits.

In addition to his corrupt initiation of mid-decade gerrymandering in multiple states, Trump continues to gear up to use DOJ, the US military, and local Republican authorities to rig the midterms.

Democrats are a healthy economy. We are good paying union jobs you can raise a family on and infrastructure investment. We are safe schools. Republicans are tax cuts for the Broligarchs and slashing the government jobs of people who work to make your life better.

Another form of being “centrist” .. have we thought about this one?

The New York Times editorial board thinks Democrats should “move to the center.”

Where the hell is the center between democracy and fascism?

Donald Trump is telling his DOJ to prosecute people involved in defeating him in 2020. He will claim the 2025 California referendum was fraudulent. He is going to try to impose voter ID and ban mail-in and early voting for 2026.

I will do everything I can in the courtroom and in public to stop him.

Republicans control all 3 branches of the government and claim they’re leading us into a “Golden Age.” But they can’t figure out how to end a government shutdown, and they want us to blame the party that controls exactly zero branches of government.

If I were running the DNC, there would be Democratic Party sponsored food relief banks across the country right now that specifically welcomed anyone regardless of party affiliation.

Along with the food, there could be voter registration and links to runforsomething.net

They tried to erase me from the record this week. Instead, thousands of you showed up.

Welcome to everyone who’s new here. I’m a State Senator from Guilford County, North Carolina, and I’m not going anywhere.
