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.

I just left the Everglades Immigrant Interment Camp. No, I’m not using their ridiculous name. It was a very tough to witness humans in those cages. Every Floridian should be ashamed that our taxpayer money is being used for this.

Dems should hammer the Epstein files because it's a glaring coverup that shatters the MAGA coalition. It shows what the Republican power brokers really think of the conspiracist base.
Why bother with speculative Trump-Epstein bullshit when they are so many real, terrible acts to address daily? www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
Stop taking the Epstein bait, Dems
Democrats don't need conspiracy theories. There are more than enough real Trump scandals.

Elon saying he’s going to reprogram his chatbot’s view of history is a perfect example of why these kinds of AI products aren’t the neutral “tools” people always defend them as. They’re little political projects reflecting the ideologies of their creators

Donald Trump bombed Iran tonight, not because they are about to have nuclear weapons (they are not), but because he needed a distraction from his tanking poll numbers and his deeply unpopular "Big Beautiful Bill."
He doesn't care who gets killed, Iranians or Americans, to help HIM.

By law, they have to identify. If they won’t—copy their plates, call the actual police and let them know you are witnessing armed police impersonators.

A defining policy battle is about to come to a head in this country. The Republican budget will force everyone - especially Congress and the White House - to make plain whether they are prepared to harm the rest of us in order to fund tax cuts for the wealthiest.

They’re marinating in right-wing paranoia there.
No matter how savvy or smart they imagine themselves to be, prolonged contact with that kind of crazy will absolutely warp their understanding of what “normal people” think

Journalists, Dem political consultants & pundits have stayed on Twitter, while it is entirely designed as a propaganda outlet for the Trump administration. Neutral journalists, NGOs, and Dem politicians should get off. You reach some people, but the game is fixed. Only way to win is to defeat it.
Consequently, the exact same elites that had been convinced by Twitter just three years prior that we were on the brink of a total transformation of society to promote racial equality, suddenly became convinced the median American is a Nazi. In both cases they relied on what their feeds showed them
