so much is wrong here, but i’m stuck on the fact that the people who are brutalizing immigrants at court houses and schools couldn’t pass the US citizenship exam.

The state of GOP: when you can’t argue that Trump isn’t a dictator with facts, you fall back on Meet the Fockers rottentomatoes score.

It’s both hilarious and disheartening that we see the GOP nominating the most vile people possible, but the Democrats still can’t get their shit together and nominate someone who isn’t elderly or deeply problematic. It’s not that hard.

They're not even trying to hide their racism.

The message of "project firewall" is that immigrants are keeping "real" (i.e., White Christian) Americans from achieving the so-called American Dream.

Social media post from the US Department of Labor, with the text:

"Our work on Project Firewall is critical in our mission to put Americans First and RESTORE THE AMERICAN DREAM. ‘These Are Fundamental’ —Fortune Magazine'

And with a Warhol-style painting showing a White family with a dad, mom, and two kids looking at a white suburban house beneath gauzy images of a church, a factory spilling black smoke, and an institutional building that could be a hospital or a school.

I am completely awestruck by the ease with which Mike Johnson lies on a daily basis. I'll never understand how such a transparently fraudulent "man of faith" can live with themselves. Life is too short to be that phony.

🚨 NEWS: Colombian President Gustavo Petro accuses U.S. government officials of murder and violating Colombia’s sovereignty and says the Trump-ordered strike of a boat in the Caribbean killed a fisherman named Alejandro Carranza.

Screenshot of a post on X from Colombian President Gustavo Petro’s verified account. The post reads: “US government officials have committed a murder and violated our sovereignty in territorial waters. Fisherman Alejandro Carranza had no ties to the drug trade and his daily activity was fishing. The Colombian boat was adrift and had its distress signal up due to an engine failure. We await explanations from the US government.”

They’re arguing that unless lawmakers stand in front of a judge and swear they’re making intentionally harder for black people to vote and be represented, nothing can legally be done?
