The Peruvian Congress just impeached and removed their president, which their constitution allows for on grounds of “permanent moral incapacity.”

The same thing happened to her predecessor, who was impeached and removed for attempting to seize control of Congress and the judiciary.

I made a horrible decision last night and told chat that I’d do a 24-hr livestream if we raise $100k with these streams by the 19th.

So if that’s an incentive to tune in… there you go.

promises to do a 24 hr livestream if her campaign reaches $100k in donations. If you want an unapologetically pro-democracy Congress, please consider donating. If you want to see her stream for 24 hours, please donate to the stream specific url.

This is not a border crossing.
There’s no law that any of us have to show our papers on the interior.

This is a blatant civil rights violation. How is anyone supposed to know whether this man is a real ICE agent or just pretending to be one?!

The Trump administration is REALLY allowing Qatar to build an air base in the US after they did a $5.5 billion golf resort deal with Trump and gave him a jet.

MAGA can take their ‘America First’ flags and wipe their asses with them. He is Trump First, and you are suckers.

George was just trying to get to work.

ICE pepper-sprayed him, dragged him from his car, locked him in a detention center, and placed him on suicide watch. He even missed his young daughter’s birthday in the process.

This man is a veteran and American citizen. Don't look away.

"They put me on suicide watch and they put me in the cell, I'm naked, in like a hospital dress and just a concrete bed with like a mattress, like a thin mattress and, they leave the light on 24/7."

Three key points:
1) The admin has been planning mass firings to begin in October since February
2) The work necessary to carry out mass firings is illegal during a shutdown, violating the Antideficiency Act, which carries a criminal penalty
3) This harms America, ridding us of talent and expertise

We spend billions more each year for Israel elsewhere. 2 examples: Egypt receives ~1.5 billion from the US each year. For Israel. The US is bailing out Argentina = $20 billion. To be nice? No. 👇

-$33 BILLION in military aid over 2 years
-$45 MILLION every day
-$144/month per every 🇮🇱 citizen from 🇺🇸

As 🇮🇱 has free health care, free college, subsidized child care… and we do not.

This story, published in July, becomes more relevant with every passing day as lawmakers and activists work to shutter clinics and restrict access to abortion pills.

We are careening toward a not-so-distant future where abortion is just a right on paper, even in the states where it's still legal:

The Plot to Effectively Ban Abortion Nationwide Is Unfolding Before Our Eyes

Lawmakers and activists are working to shutter clinics and restrict access to abortion pills. The end result would be catastrophic.

A ceasefire in Gaza is necessary. But we cannot stop here. We need immediate aid, accountability for those who committed genocide & more crimes, and yes—Palestinian statehood.
