WYSIWYG is the only statement Vance has ever made that isn't either a total lie, the RIP's new talking point, or both. Fortunately the public can clearly SEE for themselves what a load of BS the admin's pathetic excuses are for state sponsored murder in broad daylight

I am impeaching Secretary Kristi Noem, who is an incompetent leader and a disgrace to our democracy.

She wreaked havoc in the Chicagoland area and has brought her reign of terror to Minneapolis. One of her rogue ICE agents shot and killed an innocent woman today. It must come to an end.

The politically motivated assassination of Renee Nicole Good was a 100% preventable tragedy fomented by the right-wing terrorist organization currently "in charge" of the United States

Our health care system is collapsing. Housing is unaffordable. 60% of people are living paycheck to paycheck.

Instead of trying to "run" Venezuela, Trump might try to do a better job running the United States.

Authoritarians distract. That is what they do best. Always watch what the other hand is doing.

Can't help but notice Maduro is being held at the same infamous Brooklyn jail where Juan Orlando Hernández, sentenced to 45 years in prison after a large-scale cocaine trafficking conviction, was just pardoned and released by President Trump last month:

After capture and removal, Venezuela's Maduro is being held at notorious Brooklyn jail
The New York jail holding Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro is a facility so troubled, some judges have refused to send people there.

“We will set an example for the world” – @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social is already localizing and mainstreaming big economic ideas that were once thought impossible but, in fact, are necessary.

it takes love over gold
and mind over matter
to do what you do that you must
when the things that you hold
can fall and be shattered
or run through your fingers like dust
