📌Erika Kirk was married to a racist, homophobic, and misogynistic man, who was tragically cut down by one of the millions of guns he told us were an acceptable cost of preserving Republicans' bastardized understanding of the 2nd Amendment.
I feel badly for her, but spare me her thoughts on ANYTHING.

"ICE and CBP must be abolished" is the only reasonable position. We can debate the specifics of new agencies for immigration functions, but these agencies are simply too infected with a culture of impunity, racism, and fascism to continue. They're gangs with badges.
Armed ICE agents trapped US citizens in a restaurant and demanded their papers. Federal agents walked into East African restaurants in Cedar-Riverside, MN. They closed and blocked the doors. Then they demanded to see everyone’s papers. Every person present was a US citizen.

A lifetime of "thoughts & prayers" have done JACK-SQUAT to reduce or eliminate gun violence. We need to do MORE.

I would find this more convincing if I had literally one other example ever from history of a man who had visible hand injuries from shaking too many other hands.
Q: Can you explain what's going on with the bandages on Trump's hand?

LEAVITT: We've given you an explanation. The president is literally constantly shaking hands.

Excellent point: "Tax cuts for the rich are the real Ponzi scheme."

Republicans create the excess debt they choose, then tell us we can't afford to assist America's families because we are so deep in deep in debt!
Don't let anyone tell you tax cuts for the rich cost nothing.

The less revenue we collect, the more the deficit runs up.

The more the deficit we run up, the more Republicans will threaten Medicaid, Medicare, and Social Security

Tax cuts for the rich are the real Ponzi scheme.

Hate is violence.
Hatred against Jewish people is skyrocketing & deadly.

There's no justification for racial,ethnic or religious hatred.

There's no excusing the indifference of those who shrug at the cruelty of bigotry & intolerance.

Will you stand against hatred towards Jewish people?
Speak out!

This is fucking grim. Somebody invented a white guy, an "IT professional" named Edward Crabtree, who stopped the Bondi shooting and spread it all over the internet, which was picked up by AI agents and slop aggregation sites.

The real hero is a fruit stand owner named Ahmed el Ahmed.

Has anyone noticed, when the GOP disparaged Biden, did ANY of them receive death threats?

Were any of them targeted by “Antifa”?

Were Republicans scared to death by Biden?

This tells us which party is dangerous, corrupt and criminal.

The evidence is there.

Can’t you see it?

Agreed! ICYMI Rep Bennie Thompson did the thing! It’s called “oversight”!
There hasn’t been enough appreciation for how thoroughly BENNIE THOMPSON humiliated FBI official GLASHEEN after he tried to sell the lie that ANTIFA is the top domestic terror threat.

The claim collapsed because it’s a cover.

Operation Metro Surge is state-sanctioned racial profiling used as a tool of political intimidation.

But Somali Minnesotans aren’t intimidated, we’re brave and resilient, and our neighbors have our back.
