We played nice for far too long. Followed the rules. Stayed in our lane. Playing nice was our folly. By playing nice we inadvertently paved the road to an authoritarian oligarchy. We need to get bigger, louder, tougher. We need to unite & fight back!

Pritzker: "He said he was going after the worst of the worst. It's not going after the worst of the worst when you're just literally stopping children who happen to be brown & asking them for papers as if they're gonna have proof they're a citizen. Pull out your phones and film everything you see"

Is this a rhetorical question? Because we all know why...

Krusty Gnome and her Gazpacho thugs deserve ZERO respect. Fascists should be given no quarter, anywhere.

I love her. If I lived in Illinois, she'd have my vote.

I can’t believe I have to say this, but historically, masked men who kidnap families in the middle of the night are usually not the good guys.

But MAGA claims to be Christian....
Fucking hypocrites.

Here is man, doing as Jesus would have done (at least, according to the Bible that Krusty Gnome & the rest of the MAGAts have never read), getting hit the head by a projectile.

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.

With cameras rolling, they’re sniping priests for sport.

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

Why do so few people fact-check internet rumors before spreading them? This is how misinformation spreads. This is part of why we're stuck in this fascist shit-show. So few people bother to make sure what they see and/or hear is correct before believing it and/or sharing it. We need to do better.

Schiff: This is supposed to be an oversight hearing when dozens of prosecutors have been fired simply because they worked on cases investigating the former president.

Bondi: What about the fires in California? Are the riots in LA serious?

"This is supposed to be an oversight hearing" -- Schiff helpfully ticks through all of the incriminating questions -- and there are many of them -- that Bondi refused to answer during today's hearing
