QP so I can pin this.

15 years ago the Supreme Court decided corporations are people under the First Amendment.

Today, sold-out politicians block progress on all fronts to appease their corporate donors.

Citizens United is among the worst decisions in history. It corrupts our system every day.

Dear New York, at the very least, please give wonderful Democratic Socialist Mamdani a massive landslide victory so that he has a mandate.

In this election, the people have two separate but equally important choices: a city they can afford or the billionaire-backed politics of the past.

Pritzker: "Imagine it. Children who woke up that morning, expectant with joy & excitement to put on their costumes & celebrate with their neighbors in what they thought was a safe place at their homes. Armed, masked agents, terrorizing innocent people, especially children, is unconscionable."

It still boggles my mind that so many people couldn't grasp last year how significantly more morally depraved a second Trump term would be in comparison to the first. And how so many people still can't comprehend that our national crisis isn't about politics, but simple morality.

In Durango, Colorado, ICE GOONS violently assaulted an elderly woman during a peaceful protest. They stole her phone, grabbed her by the hair, and threw her down a hill.

“At this point, Barack Obama should come out and publicly say he’d love to be President again and he hasn’t ruled out running for a third term. I’m serious. My fellow Democrats, either fight or go home.” -Joe Walsh

He is, instead, a 59-year-old Long Island wine importer named Bill DeBlasio, who merely responded to an email from a journalist seeking his views on Democrat Zohran Mamdani’s policies.

“I’m Bill DeBlasio. I’ve always been Bill DeBlasio,” DeBlasio said in an interview conducted Wednesday evening through his Ring doorbell in Huntington Station, Long Island, from his current location in Florida.

“I never once said I was the mayor. He never addressed me as the mayor,” DeBlasio told Semafor Wednesday evening. “So I just gave him my opinion.”

Only one single person — the hero filming — took any sort of action. Everybody else just keeps walking, pretending not to see a screaming woman being dragged away. This is so incredibly Nazi Germany.

Shannon Hale @shannonhale.bsky.social · 1d

I'm shaking almost too hard to type. I entered SLC airport and heard screams and cries for help. I could see people gathered around, watching. I sped over to discover this woman face down on the floor, four grown men pushing her down, while she cried "HELP ME" and pled for her child.

After January 6, 2021, Amazon, Microsoft, Google, and Comcast publicly pledged to stop donating to politicians who sought to undermine the legitimate results of the 2020 presidential election.

In 2025, these companies have stopped worrying about democracy and are buying Trump a ballroom.

These Corporations Stopped Worrying About Democracy and Bought Trump a Ballroom

It has been nearly five years since the 2020 presidential election, but President Trump continues to baselessly insist it was stolen.

The gun pointed at the protesters is at a ridiculous range - rubber bullets are bullets. The gas is to be used for crowd control… not to point and spray at seated people attempting to recover from being attacked. These people, ICE, are criminals. No honor, no integrity.

Protesters swarmed an ICE facility in Durango, CO demanding two children detained with their father be released to their mother. Durango Police say they also offered to help reunite the kids with their mother. They were unsuccessful.
