Some of our representatives” are figureheads, they don’t care about the interests of the people they are elected to serve. They have been bought by the new kings of the capitalist age, Billionaires. Together, these groups of people have collectively worked to continue to treat states like colonies

This is an enormous restructuring of our nation and what it stands for.

Beyond our ability to fathom….
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.

pretty weird how there's always billion dollars just lying around whenever ICE needs concentration camps but there's never any money when children need healthcare or a simple school lunch. oh well just one of those things I guess

Happy July 4th! A day when we remember what was in the Declaration of Independence.
The King, Jefferson wrote,
1. "has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures (what would he make of the billions that now to be spent on armed ICE officers?)

Won’t be long before we learn of an ICE detention center setting up in a former regional hospital

Sorry, no beds for cancer patients, we’ve got to lock up this father of three who works as a roofer.
Big win for the close the hospitals, open the camps caucus today.

The Republican Party must be defeated, destroyed, and discarded in the dustheap of history if the American experiment is to survive.

This isn’t over yet. Spread the word.

Republicans' Big, Beautiful Bill would:

— Kick 16 million off their health care
— Close 1 out of 4 nursing homes
— Hike your energy bills
— Add at least $4 trillion to the national debt

It’s a gift to the rich and a disaster for families.

Adding ❌👑 to your handle is a simple fun free little way to promote No Kings Day in the lead up to what is shaping up to be largest pro-democracy protest of the year (so far). I don't want to blow this out of proportion, but it might literally save our republic. nokings.org

On June 14—Flag Day—Donald Trump wants tanks in the street and a made-for-TV display of dominance for his birthday. A spectacle meant to look like strength. But real power isn’t staged in Washington. ...

Rafael Cruz was born in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. His father, Rafael Bienvenido Cruz, is a Cuban immigrant who married American Eleanor Darragh.

The guy Trump called an “anchor baby” and who is only American because his mother was American, thinks birthright citizenship is a terrible policy.

Only an immigration judge can strip lawful permanent resident status. Mahmoud’s arrest is political retaliation and a blatant abuse of power — a test run for Project 2025’s crackdown on dissent. We won’t let it stand.

This administration has convinced half the country that the real problem isn’t the billionaires who evade taxes and collect government handouts, but the working class who pay taxes and get nothing in return.

Most insane part is that you or I have as much right to storm into a government agency and seize computers as Musk does. As in: zero. But it’s all being normalized by #complicitmedia. “doge” is bullshit.

It would be helpful if more media outlets would cover the coup. If. I try discussing this with anyone who’s not Very Online, I sound like a nutter.

“There’s a CONSPIRACY the news is too SCARED to tell you.”

The widespread economic devastation will alert them I guess. But isolating right now.
