I believe non-white ICE agents need to be expelled from and rejected by their communities. As a Latina and daughter of immigrants, nothing disgusts me more than Latino agents willing to hurt their own communities.

This is Adelita Grijalva.

She was elected to Congress two weeks ago, officially making her the final vote needed to force the release of the Epstein files.

She has still not been sworn in because Mike Johnson refuses to do so.

Dr. Jane Goodall filmed an interview with Netflix in March 2025 that she understood would only be released after her death.

I can’t not believe how hard it is to sleep when you’re watching your country, be dismantled by the dumbest people.

Stop grading Republicans on a curve. There are no Republican heroes in the fight for democracy. Staying grounded in the truth is essential — our democracy depends on it. www.youtube.com/watch?v=QDs3...

I don’t k ow what your feed looks like but I think it’s a bit unfair to call everyone dumb when a lot of people are acknowledging that two things can be true: the guy is a problematic opportunist who also knows how to meet this particular critical moment.

He hasn’t been house leader long but apart from that, this comes across as Dem loyalty to Cuomo over meeting the moment and respecting the will of their voters in a CRITICAL race. Democracy is at stake. This is partly why the GOP wins. Dems want to be right more than they want to be effective.

I’m not sure which is more annoying: that you wrongly assumed I didn’t watch the interview or that you feel confident about knowing me, a perfect stranger, well enough to anticipate my opinion on literally any issue.

Why are you refusing to endorse the Democrat in the NYC mayor’s race? The optics of you doing Cuomo’s dirty work are trash. Had high hopes for you!

Your stance on CA redistricting is wildly disappointing. If you’re not up for the fight, get out of the way.

Novels and movies about democracies that descend into dictatorship usually imagine some huge disaster that sets it off.

The reality is so much more gradual, tawdry, and disheartening.

I can’t stand it when people try to brush it off as just being into history. Pride of place is given to objects you really like seeing, like this stupid photo of Hitler’s stupid ship this upward failing nerd decided to hang.

Revolted but not surprised. Israel has been doing this for quite some time with impunity.
