If you want to see what Turning Point's brainwashing has done to America's youth, take a couple minutes to watch this.

Vivek Ramaswamy goes to a Turning Point USA event in Ohio and quickly finds out that he is not on the team.

The people who founded this country mentioned both Muslims and Hindus explicitly.

Vivek is a dipshit. But he's a dipshit who has every right to be here no matter what a bunch of baby Nazis think.

Maybe he'll learn from this. Or maybe he remains a dipshit. But you too can grow, Vivek.

Also: if you work for ICE, even if you’re not one of the ones arresting citizens or tackling 15-year-olds or zip-tying kids together and segregating them by race, you’re part of the mechanism making it happen, and you should suffer long-term social and post-regime-change consequences.

Ari Cohn @aricohn.com · 13h

Some weirdo on Twitter has been absolutely melting down for like 36 straight hours because I posted:

When this is over, do not forget what ICE did, and what ICE is. And do not make room for them in society. Make sure they know that they are, and will continue to be, reviled and beneath contempt.

For those not fluent in Catholic: refusing the Monstrance is not denying prisoners the Eucharist, it is refusing Christ himself, since Christ is present in the Monstrance.

If Portland’s blow up animals are the right language for Portland, this is the right language for Chicago.

Chicago priest Fr. Larry Dowling describes procession to ICE facility: “No one had the courage to speak directly to us. No one from Homeland Security could stand in the presence of the Monstrance holding the Blessed Sacrament. No wonder. Evil is repelled, recoils in the presence of Christ.”

I am so surprised this city (Boston) is not in Florida. #disasters

n a time of rising seas, one city spent billions of dollars erecting a new waterfront district - on landfill, at sea level. Unlike other places imperiled by climate change, this neighborhood with some of the world’s largest companies was built well after scientists began warning of the threats. The city called its new quarter the Innovation District. But others are calling it Inundation District.

I know that times may be scary, but you are seen, safe, supported, and loved here in Illinois.

The Trump ceasefire deal is the Biden ceasefire deal Trump begged Bibi not to accept in 2024 because it would've hurt Trump's chances of winning the election and I wish this was the first time a GOP candidate for president won by meddling in American foreign policy.

See: Nixon '68 and Reagan '80.

My father worked in public schools for 40+ years, starting in Special Ed. From day 1 GOP officials chipped away at those services and budgets, and had to change roles to adapt as it did.

This final betrayal of our legal and moral commitment to serve ALL students is the GOP's 40-yr old wet dream.

A reminder:

This isn’t ideology
This isn’t incompetence
This isn’t business as usual
This isn’t temporary
This isn’t normal
This isn’t ethical
This isn’t legal
This isn’t meant to be popular
This isn’t meant to be good for anyone

This has been a strategic attack against the U.S.

Act accordingly

They wanted the House.
They wanted the Senate.
They wanted the White House.
They got it. All of it.
It's all theirs.
And it's shut down.

They can lie
They can troll
They can "own the libs"

But. They. Cannot. Govern.

This is all you need to hold in mind when you're looking to assign blame.

Senator Patty Murray @murray.senate.gov · 1d

Republicans are pushing debunked anti-abortion propaganda as an excuse to rip mifepristone off the shelves and block women from getting abortion care.

100+ studies prove mifepristone is safe and effective.

SPEAK UP, we can't let them get away with this.

Nearly All GOP Senators Urge the FDA to Restrict Abortion Pills

The senators are asking the FDA to suspend its approval of generic mifepristone, which would heavily restrict access to abortion pills nationwide.

Turning Point USA spokesman Andrew Kolvet responded to the harassment their organization contributed to that forced Rutgers professor Mark Bray to flee the country. The full statement is long, but here’s how he ended it:

Good riddance to him and good luck, Spain.
America and Rutgers are better off without him. But it begs the question: Why is Rutgers employing an advocate for political violence? He should be immediately fired and the university should disavow his vile, un-American ideas.

The Mark Bray situation is so completely fucked right now and if you're a journalist you need to start saying how it's fucked because you're fucking next. They won't stop at academics.

Instead we are exploited in this continuous cycle

For some context the Morbidity and Mortality Weekly report in addition to being just a good read, to quote wikipedia, "is the main vehicle for publishing public health information and recommendations that have been received by the CDC from state health departments. "
