Children are being zip tied and dragged from their homes.

Children are being zip tied and dragged from their homes.

This cannot be allowed to continue.

No one should be treated this way, but allowing it to happen to children must be the final straw.

Keep resisting Chicago, we're with you.

The thing that makes me the sickest is that these folks don’t even have a shred of compassion. It’s one thing to enforce laws and rules. It’s another to do it gleefully and celebrate the suffering of someone born into poverty and desperation

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

🚨SCOTUS will hear a Republican case challenging Illinois’ mail-in ballot laws today.

Anti-voting groups are urging the court to make it easier for candidates to bring such challenges — a decision that, if granted, could create chaos over elections.

Rick Wilson compares her stuttering evasions, insults, and faux bursts of performative outrage to a fake orgasm — Unfortunately, this makes her performance seem far more entertaining than it actually was; and is unfair to orgasms.

Reason For Hope Amid the Wreckage

If you woke up this morning with the vague sense that you were missing a goodly portion of your brain cells, it’s likely that you watched Pam Bondi’s performance yesterday before a Senate committee.

"Bondi is a patent lightweight & essentially a programmed attack dog for Trump. She is destined to be remembered as a consummate traitor to the DOJ mission,her portrait gathering dust in the basement. But her service to Trump captures the admin's great contempt..."

Trump MO:

> Lie OFTEN, in a way that advantages himself
> REPEAT lies
> Get OTHERS to repeat lies
> If challenged on lies, deny, deflect, and/or insult challenger

>>> Trump is a lifelong con man, cheat, and serial liar. Watch what he DOES, not what he SAYS.

Ted Lieu @tedlieu.bsky.social · 13h

Today is Day 8 of the Republican shutdown. Your regular reminders:

1. Republicans control the White House, Senate and House.

2. GOP making deep cuts to Medicaid, Medicare and ACA.

3. Democrats are fighting to lower costs, cancel the cuts and save healthcare for Americans.

Goebbels' propaganda principles:

* Accuse the other side of that which YOU are guilty
* Tell SO many lies that truth and deceit can't be distinguished
* REPITITION of lies becomes truth
* Tell lies that appeal to EMOTION, not intellect
* The BIGGER the lie, the better

Sound familiar?
