The President of the United States just called for Democratic members of Congress to be executed. "HANG THEM", he posted.
If you're a person of influence in this country and you haven't picked a side, maybe now would be the time to pick a fucking side.

Somebody, whether it’s an independent individual or a group or the DNC, should take this story and make sure it gets to every media outlet and podcast around. Sadistic Gestapo thugs.
Wen should direct more attention to incidents like these because Americans are more likely to respond to brutality to pets than to brutality to human beings.
EL PASO — a family says ICE showed up at their house looking for migrants and shot and KILLED THEIR DOG, then didn’t help them as the agent ran away and was not identified.

I spoke to a Venezuelan woman who was arrested in this raid and later released with her 4yo son. She said agents broke down their door, pointed guns at them and made sexualized remarks about Venezuelan women. When she returned to her apartment it was boarded up and all her possessions were gone.

Republicans hate me because I fight hard and I refuse to be held back by norms and rules that the GOP ignore. If Republicans try to gerrymander another 5 seats in Texas, Democrats should gerrymander 30 more seats in states they control.

Dudek told the Washington Post: “Unless I get clarification, I’ll just start to shut it down. I don’t have much of a choice here.”

In fact, immigrants here illegally do not collect Social Security. But they pay $25.7 billion a year into it, a recent study found, so these undocumented workers are actually subsidizing Americans.
