I live in a red state & I think anyone else who lives in a red state can tell you - if you think for one fucking second that half of this country is not aligned with this regime you are living in a fantasy.

They are fully fucking aligned & they have "let's storm the capitol” energy

1) Govt info doesn't FOIA itself;
2) The 1st Amendment is for keeping the state from jailing critics

Journalism is work, done by people who pay rent... the right gets this, the left doesn't

Sometimes all you can do is make the world 0.0000000000001% less awful by being a good person and it feels very meaningless but it’s also the only thing that really matters

Republicans.

When you controlled Congress, you let RFK Jr. lie under oath, and confirmed him anyway. Now, folks will die.

You don't have to just regret your mistakes. You can fix them. Get your act together, and impeach and remove RFK Jr. Or we vote you out.

Today, Hilton Worldwide has removed the Minneapolis hotel that refused to accept ICE bookings of Immigration from its system.

"Hilton is - and has always been - a welcoming place for all," the company said on X."

I welcome my immigrant neighbors.
For me, the Hilton boycott begins here and now.

Abolish and prosecute ICE. They did a murder in broad daylight today. Imagine what they're doing in the closed facilities we're somehow not even allowed to see.

"One of Trump's most consistent beliefs is that the world will end in nuclear annihilation. He mentions this often in older interviews. He fears it. I worry the way he copes with his fear of annihilation is by becoming the annihilator. The man who can end the world." www.youtube.com/watch?v=htdw...

The lessons we learned from January 6:

1. Trump will never ever admit he’s wrong
2. Trump will never go away without a fight
3. No matter what Trump does, the GOP will protect him
4. Most Democrats hate to fight
5. Democrats did not do nearly enough to stop him from coming back
