This report should be the jet fuel Dems and Independents need to get through the next four years. Never bow down, never obey in advance. We were right all along. #pathetic #damnshame

It’s plain and simple. Only AmeriKKKans think it’s okay to have an undocumented work here for 30 years, raise a family, then deport them. The Native Americans should be allowed to do the same thing.

“Why don’t they just get in line?”

It’s a question often directed toward undocumented immigrants living in the United States.

The short answer: there is no “line” available for most immigrants. The pathway to American citizenship for the vast majority is long, complex, and financially draining.

"The original #NoKings protest was 250 years ago. We've had democracy since then. Now we have a would-be king who wants to take it away—King Donald the First. Fuck that. Stand up and be counted in the nationwide No Kings protest on October 18."

Border Patrol & ICE operating under Trump regime directives have repeatedly attacked and detained US citizens violating their civil rights and human rights. Regime agents have also been caught falsifying reports, destroying evidence to cover up their actions. #3E 🧵

America's disconnect: very little noise to support Letitia James, NOT EVEN CLOSE.

The Constituents making the loudest noise, to save Freedom of Speech, but in 2026, we lose most of the Benefits and Triple Insurance Premiums

NO NOISE, but silent to Federal Crimes, purging America for the Wealthy.

If you were loud for Jimmy Kimmel, crank it up for Letitia James.
Authoritarian bullies count on silence to get away with it; make some noise and have her back!

I’ll admit it. I’m anti-fascist.

I don’t like federal government thugs
- attacking and injuring children
- attacking and kidnapping asylum seekers
- attacking and injuring immigrant workers
- attacking and illegally arresting Congress doing their jobs
- attacking and injuring peaceful protesters

So greasy fascist lunatic Peter Thiel thinks Greta Thunberg may be the Antichrist?

Guess whose name appears in the Epstein Files that have been released, Peter? No hers. Yours!

So that, technically, makes you more evil than the Antichrist.

[Excerpt:] Tech billionaire Peter Thiel recently warned that Swedish activist Greta Thunberg & critics of tech or AI are “legionnaires of the Antichrist” in private lectures on Christianity that linked government oversight of Silicon Valley to an apocalyptic future.

153 kids are in quarantine in South Carolina.

118 kids in Minneapolis.

This is what happens when we ignore the science.

When we stop vaccinating, long eradicated diseases come back.

The kids deserve better than this. Measles can disable. It can kill. And it’s completely preventable.

Hundreds of U.S. students quarantined amid measles outbreaks

At least 270 unvaccinated kids are staying home from school as measles continues to spread nationwide. "Expect more," one expert said.
