Yes. It’s getting bad. People are being attacked by ICE dogs, boxed in on freeways and being ran over. All across the state. We must act now. If we wait and we let them continue without any big push back, it will only embolden them. This is NOT normal. We cannot let it become normal.

Agreed. And it's not only improper for American elected officials to tell other people around the world what is right and wrong. It goes from improper to humiliating when the American elected official is just doing PR for a company. (1/2)
american reporters, you've got to call bullshit on this. vance, purveyor of hate/propaganda, wants the public to believe rules on, for instance, transparency in advertising and forms of deception on X are censorship.
don't fall for it.

I can't stop thinking about the purported drug smugglers being murdered by the US military. The punishment for drug offenses isn't the death penalty. This is just bloodlust and men in suits playing with lives they don't care about. It's truly grotesque and gravely compromises this country.

I don’t know, I still randomly trip out over the fact that the President told states to specifically gerrymander for him. And they did.

Reminder about Jan 6:
it really happened
It was a horror
140+ police were injured
A range of violent weapons were used by attackers
Chants to hang Mike Pence were heard

I would not get in a car if Hakeem Jeffries was driving. We can’t continue to let him and those like him “lead” a milquetoast opposition to overt fascism.
Primary appeasers.
Elect fighters.
Primary appeasers.
Elect fighters.
Jeffries: "The border is secure. That's a good thing. It happened on his watch. He wants to claim credit for it, of course he'll get credit for that. In terms of making sure that we actually deal with the issues that matter, including on immigration, there's a lot that's left to be desired."
