The agents who constantly ask you for your papers means you live in a healthy democracy, disagree with this premise and you’ll be classified as doing material support for terrorism and lose all your funding, thx

Special education isn't a "nice thing to have." It isn't "charity" or doing something to make us feel better. It is a right. The right to a Free Appropriate Public Education is codified in the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, signed by a Republican president.

How are there people who call themselves “journalists” but have no interest in actually finding out the truth themselves?

If our TV networks had not been captured by the right wing, some very easy journalism would be to play this clip besides a very not on fire Portland and then tell viewers that the President of the United States is living in an alternate reality.

Trump: "Portland, I mean -- every time I look at that place it's burning down. There are fires all over the place. When a store -- there are very few of them left -- but when a store owner rebuilds a store they build it out of plywood. They don't put up storefronts anymore. They just put wood up."

i just got back from Antifa headquarters.

they're making an INSANE new set of demands.

first, the radical left is saying, "no money shall be drawn from the treasury, but in consequence of appropriations made by law."

David Noll @david.noll.org · 4d

interesting that if you say the constitution creates a separation of powers systems in which there are no kings, they think you hate america

Emmer: "This is about one thing and one thing alone -- to score political points with the terrorist wing of their party, which is set to hold a hate America rally in DC next week."

Important to note is that another No Kings protest took place just a few months ago and they were entirely peaceful. GOP pre-sewing doubt about them is because the GOP is weak right now and know they’re on the clock

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 4d

Sen. Roger Marshall: "October 18 is when the protest gets here. This will be a Soros paid-for protest for his professional protesters. The agitators show up. We'll have to get the National Guard out. Hopefully it will be peaceful. I doubt it."

Okay but how do you think he reacted to this news though?

I cannot, for the life of me, understand why anyone would think cancelling an already-appropriated contract for a renewable energy source would benefit. It mean less jobs, less access to power, and it’s not like they going to refund your tax dollars just because it was cancelled

SCOOP: The Bureau of Land Management says the largest solar project in Nevada — the Esmeralda 7 mega-farm — has been canceled

The news was quietly dropped via a sudden website update with no public word from any of the companies involved or a statement from the agency

Besides linking Tylenol in pregnant women to autism, RFK Jr. now says circumcision is part of the reason why kids are autistic.

"Children who are circumcised early have double the rate of autism, and it's highly likely because they're given Tylenol. None of this is positive..."
