Just some guy with some thoughts
I don’t need to tell you all but ICE is clearly a terrorist organization. From what I’m hearing out of MN it seems like rapid responder lines of communication are being infiltrated. This is likely from NSPM-7. It feels like the entire weight of the US gov is being brought to MN. Who is next I wonder

A Black man was killed by ICE (off duty) in Los Angeles on New Year’s Eve. And like Renée Good, he was an American citizen. But most people have not heard about Keith Porter.

I need y’all to realize this. Black people experience this lack of visibility all the time when it comes to being victims.

Word is that @schumer.senate.gov and @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social are resisting calls to defund ICE. The two of you must resign in disgrace.

If congress is unable to remove Trump and the cabinet secretaries that played a role in the attack in Venezuela, our nation is officially cooked

And don’t stop at Trump
Just woke up even angrier. Impeach, convict, remove. Draft articles now. Either we have a representative government or we don’t. Do not shut up about this until there’s a vote.

Any Dem that wants to be POTUS in 2029 must commit to: ousting Schumer, Jeffries, and anyone else in favor of submission over representation, abolishing and prosecuting ICE, and finally they must deliver Universal Healthcare to the USA

@schumer.senate.gov needs to be primaried. He is a GOP operative. He failed to endorse Zohran, effectively endorsing the candidate that Trump endorsed. Then in the face of massive Dem wins he capitulates? Summer has lost the plot. Senator, you must resign or lose your primary.

@schumer.senate.gov @schiff.senate.gov @amyklobuchar.com Mike Johnson refuses to swear in Rep. Grijalva, but you’re voting to confirm someone who can’t answer whether or not presidents are limited to 2 terms to a LIFETIME appointment? Resign.

@schumer.senate.gov this “attack” on Platner is the most out of touch thing I have ever seen in my life. Resign. The Dems just can’t help but to attack candidates people want even after it already caused them to lose to fascism twice. They’re beyond hopeless.

As things like ending The Late Show and the purchasing of networks by right wing ideological billionaires, I am becoming more and more concerned with the Oligarchs amassing to much power. The future of America is looking bleak for those who enjoy true freedom

I’m telling you, the top story to watch over the next 4 years is the stated goal of “deporting” 1 million people per year (this could increase) and only funding for 100k beds is what happens when they need more than the amount of beds they have. We’re trodding a terrifying path

This is a huge W for progressives everywhere. Looking forward to more positive results in primaries and general elections moving forward
With the updated RCV totals just released by the Board of Elections, our campaign has officially earned the most total votes in a primary in New York City history.

When I was growing up my Grandpa used to tell this joke about a man during a flood. I’ve been thinking about it with the recent flood news and politicians blaming it on God. It goes like this: One day there was a flood and this guy got stuck on his roof waiting for rescue.

Mike Johnson on Texas floods: "In a moment like this, we feel just as helpless as everyone else does ... all we know to do at this moment is pray."

They add up if your ultimate goal is to concentrate as much power as possible into the hands of as few as possible. It’s about blowing all credibility we have on the international scene to allow the lives of avg people to get worse, forcing them to accept worse working conditions and lower pay.
Suozzi: "It just doesn't make sense that you're reducing taxes for some of the wealthiest people, hurting some of the lowest income people, while blowing the biggest deficit in the budget that we've had in the history of the country. Those things just don't add up."

This is really the question. There are certainly folks who benefit from this. I bet they’re less than 1k. That being said, how on earth did ~50 million people vote for it?
Why are folks mad at the working mom with kids on Medicaid and SNAP rather than companies like Walmart that refuse to pay her a living wage and provide health insurance?

Honestly, I think gutting FEMA will be worse for him than the ice raids have been
To the “I voted for this” crowd:

You voted for the guy who gutted the National Weather Service. Now we’ve got dead families and missing kids in Texas, because storm warnings didn’t go out in time. And he gutted FEMA so they can’t properly respond to disasters.

That’s what you voted for?

The President—who uses antisemitic slurs—is building concentration camps and an enormous secret police force.

Ya know, maybe this is just because I’m Jewish, but I wish the political opposition and the media made a bigger deal about it!

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.

people come up with all kinds of fanciful math to justify billionaires' wealth but imo present political moment demonstrates conclusively that we need to tax billionaires at whatever rate will keep them focused on their own fucking business rather than our Medicaid and pediatric cancer research
