This isn’t about politics; it’s about ownership of the scoreboard. When the scoreboard changes owners, the game changes. The sale no one voted on...and why you should care.🔥👇

🚨🚨🚨A 15 year old opens the door to the vehicle, but ICE monsters proceed to throw her around like a rag doll — because they can. Notice the police drive away, just out of view of the camera. Uploaded ~ 2 hours ago. 1/2

If we get another chance to do democracy right,

#AbolishICE and rewrite immigration policies that fit the needs of our global refugee crises.

Reinforce 'Separation of Church and State'
Hold GOP leaders accountable.

#PublicEducationK16 as #1 priority, because willful ignorance is killing us.

She claims to have negotiated with Putin on the release of all the Ukrainian children that Russians had kidnapped.
Why now?
What was offered in return?
Who monitored her channels?
Who will oversee the transfers?

Laura Loomer and MTG are the rowdy girls. They want to suck up to the white Christian males they worship but to also periodically call attention to themselves. As they will find out someday, the women collaborators are despised by both sides. They cannot escape accountability.

Which proves that standing up for the victims of the #EpsteinTrumpGOPcoverup is the most basic way of showing your humanity. Even MTG can do it!

However, MTG cannot say that the Jan 6 deadly attack on the nation's Capitol was wrong. She collaborated w trump et al on the event. #GOPFascists

RIFs at CDC.

Destroying the Epidemic Intelligence Service, NCIRD, NCIPC & a dozen other areas/divisions/branches will cause enormous harm and suffering to America, and indeed to the whole world.

Call your Reps about it.

Then call them again.

Did people actually believe Trump during his campaign, or did they just love the permission he gave them to be racist?

Trump on loop: “They’re stealing your jobs.”

If that were true, why aren’t Americans lining up to take those so-called “stolen” jobs?

Every Trump voter needs to see this.

“YOU hit HER.”

CHICAGO - Trump’s ICE goons ram into a passing car after snatching someone, then brutally drag the female driver of the car they hit out of her car with guns drawn and arrest her too. (Her brother says she’s a citizen)

They have fired the staff of the CDC’s Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report and 70 Epidemic Intelligence Service officers, who are disease detectives that respond to outbreaks around the world.

I cannot emphasize enough how dangerous it is to dismantle our disease surveillance infrastructure.

The nation’s largest private prison company is asking the Supreme Court to give federal contractors blanket immunity from lawsuits — including human trafficking claims.

If they win, private contractors could operate with even less accountability than they do now.

The Human Trafficking Case That Could Hand Government Contractors Blanket Immunity

In a little-noticed Supreme Court case, the country’s largest private prison operator argues companies should be shielded from lawsuits when doing the government’s dirty work.

Little kids and cultists trust their authority figures. Bondi and Johnson are comfortable w lying to MAGA.

GOP (nonMAGA) voters are a bit more skeptical. But "what's the big deal?" Their deafening silence is approval.

People like me: "What the fu** you sayin'? You protect sexual predators!"

Our nation's federal employees are more than just numbers on a spreadsheet.

They make sure we have clean water.

They protect us from financial fraud.

They provide healthcare to our communities.

They make our government actually work for people.

Do not forget this.

Governments often betray their citizens. Recall 'operation paperclip' in 1945-46 when the U.S. government brought hundreds of Nazi scientists secretly into the country via Mexico, to build our missile and aerospace industry. Would Americans have approved? No. Both private/public industries profited.

Your point reminds me of the 1960s when I learned as a teenager watching 3 tv channels and reading Life magazine that anti-war protests were also abt American soldiers killing children, that feminists were women who bravely 'talked back', that Black people loved our country,...

The Nobel Peace Prize, in my opinion, should only ever be given posthumously.

Given that so many people who champion peace or even achieve temporary peace can also champion war in other circumstances, it should be based on a totality of work.
