When the next generation of your party is more repugnant than the current generation, it’s proof positive your ideologies are deeply toxic and un-American.

In case you weren’t hip to it:

TURNING POINTS USA IS A RACIST HATE GROUP!

It always was.

There is literally no difference between praising Charlie Kirk and praising David Duke.

Same same.

ICE tactics intensify despite disturbing videos surfacing across the U.S. Many of the videos are difficult to watch, but it is also important to bear witness to what is happening to human beings on the streets of America. www.msnbc.com/top-stories/...

This deserves more attention. North Carolina wiped out $6.5 Billion in medical debt for 2.5 million residents. Less than 1/3 of what we paid to bail out Argentina.

We’re at the Supreme Court today defending the rights of Black voters in Louisiana.

Self-identified “non-African Americans” are challenging the state’s congressional map for increasing the number of majority-Black districts from 1 to 2.

Boom! Who’s winning the shutdown debate? THE ACA.

More Republicans than Democrats use the ACA marketplace. So the GOP’s base is relying on the same program their party is causing premiums to skyrocket.

45% of ACA marketplace enrollees are Republicans, and most live in GOP-held districts.

Here’s the thing. We still have the power (probably) to say that this image must not be what America is. We still have the power to say “fuck no, we refuse to allow this to be what the streets of America look like.” Attend a “No Kings” rally this Saturday. And then vote in 2026.

NEW — I dug into the story of ICE abducting a 13-year-old boy in Massachusetts and moving him 500 miles across state lines without notifying his mother, local cop's complicity, and how the federal government's justification for such cruelty is already falling apart:

ICE took a 13-year-old they said had a gun. Local cops say he didn’t.

Now he's detained 500 miles away from his Massachusetts home.

The only way we can take care of the Republicans who have betrayed this country is through electing the Republicans that did not, that's Cheney and Kissinger Republicans. They have the secret sauce they tell the truth they will impeach everybody from the president to the Supreme Court to everybody.
