Sen. Daines: "I'm reminded, those words of 'blessed are the peacemakers,' those are the words spoken by Christ in northern Israel over 2,000 years ago. And President Trump has blessed the world with his peacemaking ability."

Democracy Now! @democracynow.org · 29d

Journalist Chris Hedges says President Trump’s use of the shocking assassination of right-wing activist Charlie Kirk to attack civil society is the latest iteration of a broader crackdown on free speech.

"Confrontation would disrupt the smooth functioning of the society and so the politics of the liberal leads him into a position where he finds himself politically aligned with the oppressor rather than with the oppressed."

it’s fascinating. majorities of americans oppose the military occupation of cities. a substantial number of those are fucking furious about it, but rather than lean into this anger and attack trump’s perception of strength, these “strategists” want democrats to avoid the confrontation entirely.

Evan Sutton @evansutton.bsky.social · Sep 7

There it is folks. The brilliant Dem strategy, according to the genius pundits with the ear of Dem leadership, is to let Trump keep doing everything he's doing but only if we can also help Republicans avoid paying a political price for hurting people long enough to hold the House and Senate in 2026

For years, conservatives have warned that if you vote for the most boring Democrat you've ever heard of you'll be prevented from practicing Christianity in public. Under Trump, Catholics are being given permission to skip Mass, where you eat Christ, due to fear of being kidnapped by the government.

Rich Raho @richraho.bsky.social · Jul 9

NEW: Bishop Rojas of San Bernardino has dispensed his Diocese from the obligation to attend Sunday Mass due to ongoing ICE raids.

Reminder that Steve Scalise gave a speech to a white supremacist group in 2002.

Also, that's my rep in the back nodding and smirking along 🙄

Rep. Steve Scalise says of proposed Medicaid cuts: "35-year-olds sitting at home playing video games, they're gonna now have to go get a job."

"And by the way, that's a good thing for them — their mom doesn't want them sitting in the basement playing video games anyway."

Most of this “press conference” is this lunatic yelling at the media. This guy is so obsessed with his press coverage that he can’t even function.

the destruction of chattel slavery is one of the great accomplishments in our nation's history and the reason conservatives hate celebrating it is because doing so legitimizes the black counter-narrative of the united states
