True, but voting's power, period.
We all have a right to be angry at GOP voters -- that almost goes without saying. But I still maintain a special reserve of vitriol for people who can't be bothered to vote at all. They, by themselves, could have prevented this. They, by themselves, can stop this whenever they want to.

Y’all, let’s not spin old data.
Whatever you do please don't share this 12 year old 2014 article about a research study conducted by the Police Executive Research Forum on border agents getting in front of vehicles in order to justify shooting people.

US Border Agents Intentionally Stepped in Front of Moving Vehicles to Justify Shooting at Them
An internal review of the US Border Patrol raises serious questions about the agency’s use-of-force policy.

Texas common sense: data over drama.
Politicians & some media outlets have latched onto a narrative that recent immigrants, especially undocumented, are causing spikes in crime.
Research does not support the view. In fact, immigrants might have less law enforcement contact compared to native-born Americans.

Happy New Year To Everyone, Including the UNHINGED LOSER "Tiny" Mike Johnson, who—despite his best but pitiful efforts—will fail miserably to stop us from extending ACA tax credits in January.

Bro, Jim Jordan’s playbook here is kinda wild—gotta hand it to Jack Smith for shutting down the «subpoena sob story» routine.
Half way through the Jack Smith transcript and it’s become abundantly clear why Jim Jordan didn’t want public testimony. Jordan spends a lot of time whining about the toll subpoenas, and Jack Smith shuts him down every time.

Wild how some folks still weaponize conspiracy theories.
The J6 Pipe Bomber stated that the reason he placed the pipe bombs at the DNC & RNC because he believed that the 2020 election was stolen, & no one in Congress was taking it seriously.
Now who was the one that kept on saying that the election was stolen??

Right?
Humans don't share a single religious identity nor will they ever.
Human diversity assures this.
Still, the fever-dream of mass control through forced compliance with religious belief by the power hungry continues.
Defy them.
Think for yourself.

Trillions spent to 'win' a war, now folks are side-eyeing foreign influence?
Did the United States really spend trillions of dollars on winning the Cold War, only for its president in 2025 take orders from a Russian dictator?
This is an earth-shattering humiliation for America of which its reputation may never recover.

Real talk: Backing the party doesn’t mean blinders on.
I still can't believe they're trying to make a war happen out of thin air. Not just their abrogation of Congress's role in formally declaring a war -- that's been a slippery slope for decades -- but their total unwillingness even to go through the motions of drumming up public support.

The National Guard needs to have a babysitter, so they don't get hurt. This is not what National Guard Members signed up for, yet here we are today. They are being forced to act as police officers. The starting pay for DC cops is 80K, Guard Members start pay: 24K or LESS!
