Um, ICE just coldly shot an unarmed PRIEST in the head w a pepper ball when he (and everyone around him) clearly posed no threat.

For the crime of … complaining about government policy.

Core 1A speech.

With cameras rolling, they’re sniping priests for sport.

Schiff: This is supposed to be an oversight hearing when dozens of prosecutors have been fired simply because they worked on cases investigating the former president.

Bondi: What about the fires in California? Are the riots in LA serious?

"So, Democrats have three words for this: no fucking way. It's literally life or death. We will not let Republicans blow up our health care system."

This is, hands down, the best comms work Chuck Schumer has done in YEARS. Surprisingly good.

CBS reports ICE agents have repeatedly made fake 911 calls. Each time, police found no threat. In Illinois, that’s a felony.

It seems clear—I think to everyone, now—that a false and illegal invocation of the Insurrection Act is coming before the end of the year. Media outlets should be telling us how they will prepare for this potential Treason. State governments should be telling us. Activists should be developing plans.

CNN: “An older couple making $85K/year will see their yearly insurance premiums jump from $7K to $25,000 — 30% of their income.” 😳#TrumpShutdown #TrumpHealthCareTax

This is what Dems are drawing attention to and want fixed. Now, not later.

Today is the 17th day in a row that House Republicans have refused to come to work.

Instead of preventing health care costs from skyrocketing, they’re preventing the Epstein files from being released.

Probably doesn’t need saying, but no law was broken. Israel broke international law by abducting people in international waters, people who were seeking to break Israel’s illegal siege, itself part of the genocide

Puns N' Roses @gthanku.bsky.social · 1d

as the global hegemon & Israel's chief enabler, America gets more dedicated humiliation treatments, from Netanyahu bragging abt unconstitutional US laws & censorship to some Israeli who harasses US students with impunity mocking the mother of an American reporter who made a Twitter account for this

My son was in the flotilla. He is now in Israeli prison being mistreated. 22 Americans in all. Calls/messages to US Gov't officials are ignored. Many activists from other countries are already released. Needs national media attention.

Reuters photographer Jonathan Ernst noticed that Bondi flipped open a file during the Senate hearing and he zoomed in.

Inside were her crib notes for attacking the senators.

The GOP now practicing Cliff's Notes Fascism

In other words, under oath Bondi was purely a performance.

Well, they could have, should have asked to give them a copy of what she was reading from, as is their right to the Congress needs to take back its land do their job.

Explainer: Soft Secession

The U.S. is on the verge of permanent authoritarian rule. Soft secession may be the answer. But what is soft secession all about?
