Resistance is 24/7 EVERY day until the maga Republican conservative traitors to our US Constitution are removed, prosecuted, convicted, and in prison for the rest of their lives.

#MarcoRubioIsTheShadowOfDEATH

“Two weeks after Taher’s little boy died, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio sat before Congress & declared: ‘No one has died’ because of his govt’s decision to gut its foreign aid program. Rubio also insisted: ‘No children are dying on my watch.’

That, Taher says, ‘is a lie.’” tinyurl.com/zfxe4v2v

MAE SOT, Thailand (AP) — Mohammed Taher clutched the lifeless body of his 2-year-old son and wept. Ever since his family’s food rations stopped arriving at their internment camp in Myanmar in April, the father had watched helplessly as his once-vibrant baby boy weakened, suffering from diarrhea and begging for food.

On May 21, exactly two weeks after Taher’s little boy died, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio sat before Congress and declared: “No one has died” because of his government’s decision to gut its foreign aid program. Rubio also insisted: “No children are dying on my watch.”

That, Taher says, “is a lie.”

“I lost my son because of the funding cuts,” he says. “And it is not only me — many more children in other camps have also died helplessly from hunger, malnutrition and no medical treatment.”

How many felons do you think are working for ICE at this point? I definitely think it's a a non-zero number. If they weren't a felon when they started, I suspect many of them are...now.

these brilliant mofos at Vinegar Syndrome PAINSTAKINGLY RESTORED an R-rated movie wrecked by studios protecting OJ Simpson's snowfwake feewings.

Democrats press Bondi over concerns DOJ is being weaponized to target Trump's foes

Bondi defended her work as attorney general, rejecting allegations that DOJ investigations and prosecutions, including the recent indictment of former FBI Director James Comey, are driven by politics.

The American people aren’t buying the Trump/GOP lies.

Nearly half blame Trump and the GOP for the shutdown.

Trump thinks if he causes Democrats enough pain, they will cave. Not realizing the pain he’s causing is on both sides of the aisle. #TrumpsHealthCareShutdown

Disabled people are not the enemy

Immigrants are not the enemy

LGBTQ+ people are not the enemy

Minorities & people of colour are not the enemy

These division tactics only work because there’s one group who needs to feel superior to the rest of us

They will “other” anyone to advance their agenda

You can joke about Pam Bondi’s ridiculous unprofessionalism all you want, but I’m deeply shocked by it: She acts as if she fears absolutely no consequences, convinced that there will be no more political power transfers. — This should shake everyone to their core.
