I hear there's a document that gives us all the RIGHT to peaceably assemble. Maybe Preacher Mike can help me identify this document! 🫤

He’s sounding as unhinged as his boss lately.

Tweet from Really American: “BREAKING: In an insane moment, the Speaker of the House frames the upcoming ‘No Kings’ protest march as a ‘Hate America’ event, irresponsibly calling folks who oppose fascism ‘pro-Hamas.’ We found that ‘violent rhetoric’ Republicans have criticized.”
Below, a screenshot from Fox News shows Rep. Mike Johnson speaking with the U.S. Capitol in the background.

My biggest fear is that Trump is going to do it first

When Dems take control. And they will, I hope they expand the SC. I was never for this at all. Trumps endless damage to the court has consequences, I think this is one of them.

“YOU hit HER.”

CHICAGO - Trump’s ICE goons ram into a passing car after snatching someone, then brutally drag the female driver of the car they hit out of her car with guns drawn and arrest her too. (Her brother says she’s a citizen)

We’ve reported extensively on how the FDA allowed foreign drugmakers to send generic medications to the U.S. from factories with filthy labs and contaminated equipment.

This month, we’re digging deeper and could use your help. THREAD/

Don't let people tell you that not supporting Netanyahu is anti-Semitic. It just makes you anti-Netanyahu

Supporting Israel and supporting Benjamin Netanyahu are NOT the same thing.

Just ask Israeli citizens IN Israel.

Maybe it's time to add driving lessons to the ICE training curriculum. After all kidnapping people successfully requires being a great getaway driver.

Woke is one of those ill defined words that no one seems in a hurry to assign a definitive meaning to. Because of its vagueness it's ridiculously easy to rebel against it. What good is a nation where words don't have set meanings. Without it, communications is a wash

TheValuesVoter @thevaluesvoter.bsky.social · 21h

Americans don’t understand that this is ALWAYS the game. Distract us with culture war crap while they ignore real problems.

It’s a lot easier to wage a war on “woke” than it is to solve the home insurance market. So that’s what they do.

The cost of homeowners and auto insurance in FL is insane, but Republicans are always laser focused on the important distractions from all that stuff.

from prosecution for his crimes. Donald Trump. Trump will be gone eventually and at some point he'll either try to flee or unalive himself because ultimately, he's a coward that absolutely will not take personal responsibility for his actions

Miller has the exact same vulnerabilities that every person in the person has, except Trump thanks to SCOTUS. He's not a cartoon supervillain impervious to the laws of nature. He's not overly bright or anything like that. What he is, however, is protected by the only person in the country immune

Stephen Miller is trying to provoke violence in American cities so he can justify authoritarian repression
