ABOLISH ICE and EXPAND THE SUPREME COURT should be mainstream Democratic promises and talking points.

But timidity and civility will rule the day and screw the rest of us and this country in the end.

AOC: And they are able to radicalize a generation of young boys in particular, away from healthy masculinity and into an insecure masculinity that requires the domination of others who are poorer, browner, darker, or a different gender than them.

@jbpritzker.bsky.social a day ago ICE creamed a black small car driven by a white woman going to work. ICE made an illegal UTurn & crushed her. They dragged her out, arrested her & disappeared her. Send the guard in to protect the citizens!

Mamdani: "I just want to speak directly to the president. I will not be a mayor like Mayor Adams who will call you to stay out of jail. I won't be a disgraced governor like Andrew Cuomo who will call you to ask how to win this election. I can do those things on my own."

It should be a litmus test for Democratic presidential primary candidates whether they will restore the White House and DC public properties to exactly the way they were before the Palm Beach lounge lizard decided to turn it into Mar-a-Lago meets 1936 Nuremberg.

🚨The other reason Trump is fighting so hard - and starting a war with Venezuela - the Epstein file release, is if as I suspect, he provided young girls via USA pagents is that TRUMP is NOT exempt from PROSECUTION for this. SCOTUS protection doesn't extend to this!

Time to stand & stop running. When Anglo Europeans invaded, we had spears & arrows; them, guns. Centuries of their rule have taught us how to fight. So, we unite, we fight as never before. Use their laws & words to fight. It can done. Allies must join so not to perish. We had Democracy 1st
