Portland Frogman used “spooky” hands and hip thrusts to make ICE agents retreat. Under that costume are huge muscles, watch video. An ICE asshole sprayed pepper spray into the air vent but Frogman continued in his costume another hour. Hero #Voices4Victory #ProudBlue

We are our own worst enemy. It's important to be able to disagree; it's fatal for the gov't to take irretrievable steps without (note lower case) democratic approval. The tiny majority with which Trump won in 2024 shouldn't give him free rein.

That was, in fact, a brilliant speech on her part. Knowing Trump was bound to hate her for winning, she showered complements on him. She wants to have him help her shut down Maduro.

I bet Kyle Rittenhouse has tried to join ICE. I don’t know if they take high school dropouts or not but Rittenhouse is exactly the kind of person ICE wants. He is uneducated, not very smart, easily manipulated and has proven he will kill with impunity. #ProudBlue

Nothing is more important to Mike Johnson than protecting pedophiles. He will refuse to bring Congress back as long as possible. Johnson started this shit back in July and August thinking America would forget about The Epstein Files. We did not forget then and we will not forget now #ProudBlue

This is absolutely amazing - foreign aid does come from tax dollars, but sometimes you need to look at what the aid actually costs in on the local and state level. I was shocked - and this isn’t just about Israel - you can do similar calculations for many countries.

If you haven’t seen this you’re going to be surprised at just how much Israel takes from your own pocket.

The trump regime hates federal workers and for Americans to have healthcare. Keeping the government shut down allows them to kill more people by knocking them off their health insurance and destroy more people’s livelihoods at the same time. They live for this shit.
