Imagine a Reverend pleading to you for mercy from the pulpit, then being such a vile monster you immediately rescind an EO protecting the human dignity of an vulnerable population. Imagine the thrill your evil ass would get from smacking your own supporters' god in the mouth like that.
Minutes ago, the Trump admin revoked the sensitive locations policy that prevented ICE from carrying out enforcement arrests inside churches, hospitals, and schools.

Democrats need to lay the groundwork for reform by attacking the villains on the Supreme Court - loudly, angrily, personally, relentlessly. And they should start now.

Democrats Need to Treat the Supreme Court Like the Villain It Is
The Court is out of control, and we'll never see reform unless we build the case for it. Starting now.

While "peace" negotiations continue, remember that Russia could simply stop the war at any time.

There is no fog bc there is no war. This is U.S. employees stealing U.S. military resources to sadistically murder foreign nationals for reasons unrelated to NatSec. Everyone involved should be court martialed, dischardged, and extradited to Venezuela for criminal trial.

Trump claims they're both incompetent, but only his man is a little couch-mounting weirdo
Trump on Tim Walz: "I think the man is a grossly incompetent man. I thought that from the day I watched JD destroy him in the debate. I was saying, 'Who's more incompetent, that man or my man?' I had a man and he had a man. They were both incompetent."

The official policy of the Trump Administration is ignorant bigotry. We’re asked, under principles including charity, to assume that people support the administration despite that policy, not specifically because of it. I am increasingly unwilling to extend that charity.

“Kill them all” or “fucking kill them all” is oftentimes a depressingly accurate way to summarize the actions and ambitions of Trump’s second presidency thus far.
“violent fantasy became an obsession, according to former Trump administration officials…“Fucking kill them all,” Trump would say. “An eye for an eye.” Other times he’d snap at his staff: “You just got to kill these people…Other countries do it all the time.” www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

The “kill them all” order by SecDef Hegseth would be a textbook war crime even if the original attack had been legal.
It is unfathomable that the USG lawyers would sign off on a no-survivors boat strike (no get of jail free card).

There's clear precedent dating back to World War II trial of Germans for that very act, which lawyers know well.

Just imagining how much better it would be if ALL news stories about vaccine-preventable illnesses were illustrated with pictures of people with the disease, not pictures of needle injections. If you must show something that people will find scary & unpleasant, make it the disease, not the cure.
I'm so tired of measles.

I'm also tired of people using needle shots on stories like this.

Show what measles looks like.
