How many more chances are the American people going to get to ask their military to save them? They are being replaced by loyalists. The window is closing. Perhaps a plea to the military should be amplified at the No Kings Rally.

Good people need to start outing their ICE family members, neighbors, and community members.

They need to be made into pariahs in the places decent Americans gather.

Okay, I understand that my monthly ANTIFA donation is no longer a tax write-off, but I can keep the tote bag, right?

Please to any US women that might see this. If your surname and maiden name don’t match, get a passport NOW that takes you at least a year past the next general election. Please renew early if you have to. They will deplete the office of personnel if the have to, to limit women voters.

Please… every American woman on here. Look at the expiry date on your passport. If it’s going to expire in the next few years pay the money and extend it now. The delays the government is going to put in place will likely prevent American women from getting another one closer to election time.

I ended up on something like one of these but I think it’s been since deleted. Honestly, it’d scary the time people will put in to silence those of progressive views.

One thing we've learned from the American judicial system: The first 34 felonies are on the house*.

*Terms and conditions may apply. See prosecutors for details if you're not white. Or rich.

The hostages are important, but how many thousands of children have died, due to the complicity of Trump in continual support of Israel. Being distracted from the atrocities by a few family reunions is likely the goal. There a reason the plan is not, and has not, been rolled out for the public.

The malicious prosecution of Attorney General Tish James is baseless.

And the indictment is not worth the paper it is written on.

Serious question…. Now that you know that the grand jury is a rubber stamp, would you support reforming your legal system (if you get the chance).

If you are unaware we do not have a similar system in Canada.

Please tell me there is a warrant for the arrest of that shooter. What a ridiculously unnecessary, callous and dangerous act.

Yes, retired police officer here. I’d have been incarcerated and fired if I’d acted in such a manner. And, damn well deserved it.

Trump’s Gaza deal may bring a welcome pause to years of bloodshed — but let’s be clear: one ceasefire doesn’t make him a peacemaker.
While he chases a Nobel Prize abroad, he’s been stoking violence at home.
Peace isn’t a brand. It’s a character test.

The "Peacemaker" Who Thrives on Chaos

Trump’s Gaza deal may earn him applause — but his record of stoking violence at home shows he’s no champion of peace.

Adelita Grijalva won her election fair and square.

Now House Speaker Mike Johnson is refusing to swear her in because she would be the final signature to release the Epstein files.

Mr. Speaker, respect democracy. Obey the law. Swear Representative Grijalva in immediately.

It seems clear—I think to everyone, now—that a false and illegal invocation of the Insurrection Act is coming before the end of the year. Media outlets should be telling us how they will prepare for this potential Treason. State governments should be telling us. Activists should be developing plans.

Um, ICE just coldly shot an unarmed PRIEST in the head w a pepper ball when he (and everyone around him) clearly posed no threat.

For the crime of … complaining about government policy.

Core 1A speech.

With cameras rolling, they’re sniping priests for sport.
