Libs really be thinking there are things worse than genocide.
A resort, that doesn't exist, is not worse than genocide. No

This is literally delusional.

Sitting in the parking deck waiting for my sister and sister-in-law to land. Won't they be super surprised to find out the family sent the person with the flu (me) to get them. Welcome home 🤧🥵🦠🤒

A lot of "you don't regularly vote for Dems so why should they....." from people fails to accept the upcoming boomer generational die-off. The "base" that thinks the outsiders don't matter aren't going to be a significant voting bloc much longer. The outsiders are much, much younger.

Harris lost because of the things leftists were complaining about, not because leftists were complaining.

Wanna know how I know liberals don’t really care about immigration or the border?

Remember when that woman and her babies got caught in the US border barbed-wire mid river?

And they drowned? While BP watched?

That was Biden. That was his ICE.

Where were you then?

Defending Biden I guess.

That's literally what candidates do and is the entire purpose of a campaign. Voting for someone is approval of the candidate and their politics in a representative government.

I love when liberals claim asking the US to stop arming a genocide was like asking for magic unicorn but then they turn around and talk about Trump is going to jail.
Lmao

Weird he doesn't see his job as doing things to benefit the US, like M4A. Maybe take that "security assistance" money and aid us?
Doesn't seem like this should be his job

It's not petty to have basic standards for the people who are supposed to represent you.
It is in fact the entire purpose of voting in a representative government.
If someone doesn't represent me appropriately they don't get my vote.
Period.
Still a petty and, in the end, pointless move.

Do you honestly feel like any of what's happened since is a victory over the Democrats-who-suck? (which they do, they REALLY do)

in an earlier post u question why Harris didn't just openly oppose Israel, and that's actually pretty easy:

of this shit are the people who will save me, or you, or anyone else.

I've dealt with their shit firsthand. Their refusal to raise wages, refusal to meaningfully improve healthcare, refusal to end ICE, refusal to treat trans rights as valid, refusal to codify RvW.

It’s become clear to me, that when liberals say they want ICE to stop…

What they mean is they want ICE to go back to the way Obama did it.

Same lack of due process. Same Tom Homan… but just more quietly and under cover of darkness.

Not like Dems fight real hard to keep people off the ballot. 😏
I assume that rather than just saying who you won't vote for, you have found someone you will vote for and you are doing the actual fucking work to make sure they are on the ballot.
If that isn't the case, shut up and go away.
If that is the case, thank you.

Dems do not seem to understand the midterms in relation to the Senate, which seats are up, or which seats are actually flippable.

If the truth benefits Trump, maybe you should expect more from Democrats.

College students should absolutely do it.
Especially when old white guys are telling you not to, you know it's the correct thing to do.
Lmao
I have never read that column, and did not know until now that Klein wrote it. (I have a lot of stuff to keep up on.)

And I couldn't care less: Shouting down speakers on campus is authoritarian bullshit and college students should never do it.
Bluesky has issues with Ezra Klein. Can you explain to them what he meant by Charlie Kirk did politics the right way. He didn’t say he agreed with the beliefs of Charlie Kirk
January 31, 2026 at 3:52 PM
You can call it that but you'd be wrong.
If I shout at you with all my lungs while you try to do your work, I would call that violence.
It is certainly not debate.

Police aren’t angry about ICE because they see their methods and tactics as wrong, unethical, or immoral. They use similar illegal and dehumanizing tactics. They’re angry because they’re worried about reactions to ICE trickling over to them and highlighting the fact that policing operates similarly.

I'll break down your screenshot since you have reading comprehension issues:
Binary: of 2 options. Since there were 6 on the ballot the choice was of 6, not of 2, and therefore not binary.
Choice: I get to choose who I want. Not who you want. Who *I* want.
Which I did.
Hope that helps 👍
People who are bad at politics and governing…and who are so self righteous and privileged with their “protest votes” that they damn those most impacted by with the consequences and have zero regret for the damage done.

"reined in and overhauled"
Lmao
Fuck this guy
The Senate is scheduled to take the first procedural vote on a funding package including DHS funding tomorrow.

Let me be clear: Until ICE is properly reined in and overhauled, the DHS funding bill won’t have the votes to pass the Senate.

A thing that already exists but is ignored.
So you did nothing.
Congratulations.
During our debate on the bill, I successfully amended the bill to include language that would prevent ICE from apprehending and deporting U.S. citizens.
