John Gillette said Democrat @jayapal.house.gov urging protests is a call to overthrow the government and she should be put to death. He thinks the J6 rioters were "political prisoners" who did nothing wrong.

Exactly
So Trump and Republicans are going to stop calling Democrats radical left marxists who hate God, are anti-christian, hate America, steal elections, want to replace Americans with criminal migrants, and want to kill babies? When is that going to stop? bsky.app/profile/atru...
Mike Johnson: "People have got to stop framing simple policy disagreements in terms of existential threats to our democracy. You can't call the other side fascists and enemies of the state and not understand that there are some deranged people in our society who will take that as cues to act."

So just to be clear - the “protect the kids” party is now shutting the government down to protect sexual predators? Do we have this right?

Apparently people On Here are oblivious to ways HJC, Oversight, & others have been hammering on Epstein consistently. But this, from @wyden.senate.gov, is one even I haven't given due attention.

Bessent is withholding financial docs abt who FUNDED Epstein.

There was a post praising George Strait for donating to Texas flood zones. I pointed it is disappointing that he supports the person who defended NOAA and FEMA. Boy do I get trolled.

The rise of Trump didn’t just shift politics. It empowered movements like this to build, recruit, and embed themselves deep inside American institutions.

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.

This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.

It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

Lisa Murkowski cuts a last minute deal solely to benefit Alaska, exempting it from some of the more odious parts of the bill to secure her vote and sell out the rest of the US. Yeah this stuff sucks and hurts a lot of people, but I got Alaskans exempted so the hell with you.

Words matter.
A 58-year-old man in Virginia may spend the rest of his life behind bars for following and shooting two Latino men because he was "pissed" about "illegal immigration," and immigrants receiving welfare.

So much hate. Where does it come from?

We need to start pushing back—legally

If they’re masked, unmarked, and flashing Amazon gear, report it for what it is: an attempted kidnapping by law enforcement impersonators.

🎥 Record.
📍 Share location.
📞 Call the police.

“ICE vest” is not an ID.

Hot take: people should be able to call the police to verify if they think they’re being kidnapped by men in masks who won’t identify themselves in unmarked cars without it being a “resisting” crime
