I wish the people that are now screaming in comments about ICE being funded due to BBB that ANYTHING

ANYTHING!!!

that handicaps, slows, disables or stops

ANY PART

of this government that handles policing or immigration or surveillance is a GOOD THING and you should be supporting doing that.

Lots of people On Here more upset about rightfully comparing authoritarian government to authoritarian government, than at authoriarian governments controlling dissidents by any murderous means possible

and I think about that a lot.
INBOX: Rep. Thomas Massie, who has enraged Trump for his insistence on blocking tariffs and releasing the Epstein files according to the law, just issued what is widely known among Chinese dissidents as "a declaration of no suicidal intent" (不自殺聲明), a sign of extreme distress.

I’m tired of the ignorance of voters saying “idk what the big deal is about requiring id to vote”🤦🏽‍♀️ ppl take a civics class & understand the 24th Amendment makes poll taxes ILLEGAL! Ah yes that word illegal. You can’t make ppl PAY for a document to vote… it violates the constitution, so no SAVE Act!

If you're in St. Paul, let's pack the 6th floor courtroom at 316 North Robert St. to stand with unjustly charged protestors and journalists. We recommend arriving by 12:30pm. Court will begin at 1pm in Courtroom 6B.

Defend the First Amendment!

Tremendous coverage from @channel4news.bsky.social on the science of #AMOC collapse 👏

Do take the time to watch this and take it in.

This story needs to be shared and absorbed.

It's not a new observation at this point but that wild Noem/Lewandowski story in WSJ really brings home the extent to which all the Trump 2 cabinet-level goblins see their jobs as flying private, doing short-form video, and screaming at underlings. They all hate each other and none of them can read.

The right have an inferiority complex for the very simple reason that they represent an inferior version of humanity & culture where everyone is hostile, contrarian & miserable and the music sucks but they also need to believe that they built Rome or whatever so they bribe, threaten & cheat

James Talarico: No one's ever asked me about the cost of housing. The only thing the media wants to ask me about are trans athletes.

The only minority destroying this country is the billionaires. Trans people are 1% of the population. We are all focused on the wrong 1%.

Don’t tell Pam Bondi, but the Dow fell under 50,000, which means we get to talk about the Epstein files now.
