The reason you have congressional hearings is so
stories like this HAVE to get coverage for the normies. There were TEN Benghazi investigations. Give me twenty ICE investigations, with big damn press conferences.
A Minneapolis pastor of an MCC church — a denomination rooted in LGBTQ equality — recounts being detained by ICE.

Says an ICE officer walked up to him as he was chanting “we are not afraid.”

The agent, he says, raised his gun and said “are you afraid now?”

Dems: get up out of your fucking defensive crouch and fight back, it still makes a difference in the coverage

as I was saying earlier today, if all you can really do is yell, the quality of the yelling has to be better

it was today, and it’s helped

keep calling these people what they are
There's honestly been some pretty good news coverage tonight on TV regarding today's events. It's not a coincidence.

Like half a dozen prominent Democrats finally came out this afternoon and said ICE is terrorist trash led by a secretary who should be impeached and it flipped the whole narrative.

A year ago today was the start of violent, terrorizing raids in California’s rural Central Valley. Violent federal agents were hunting down farm workers like animals.

Today, they’re in the streets of Minneapolis. Our communities should not be enduring this. None of us are safe until all of us are.

When DHS shot Miramar Martinez in Chicago last October, they also claimed she tried to ram agents with her car. Because she survived, they even charged her criminally.

They lied. She had done no such thing, and the goon who shot her bragged about it in texts. They dropped the charges against her.

Texts from the Border Patrol agent who fired at Martinez revealed he apparently bragged about the shooting to others, stating in one message that he’d “fired 5 rounds and she had 7 holes. Put that in ...

There’s no way any ethical journalist could look at those videos and think the story is anything other than what is clearly in those videos. It’s right there. In multiple videos. And eye-witnesses accounts. There aren’t two sides. There’s one set of very clear videos.

🚨 WA and other vote-by-mail states:

The post office changed its postmark policy and no longer guarantees a postmark will be given on the date mail is received.

For deadline sensitive mail, like ballots, this means that you need to mail far in advance (10+ days before) or use a drop box. #waelex

Ötzi and a 45,000-year-old Siberian were both infected with a cancer-causing strain of HPV.
This is fascinating, and a reminder that we have a vaccine that *prevents cancer* and everyone eligible should get it.

It’s the “season of love and giving”…but this year, doesn’t it seem more like a “season of fear and taking”? Like many of you, I’ve been saddened by the human impact of draconian government budget cuts and how angry many housed Americans are at unhoused Americans.

If you voted for Trump in 2024 and finally realize that he lied to get your vote and things aren't going well, it's okay to change your mind.

Write your representative in Congress and tell them how you want them to vote. Tell them how things are going. Tell them to hold Trump accountable.

For better or worse, public figures are judged when they die — their character, contributions, beliefs. It's undeniable that millions have mourned Rob Reiner's tragic death, celebrating his talent and contributions. I suspect when a certain public figure kicks the bucket, sentiments wont be the same

The contempt that the Seattle Police Officers Guild holds for its' citizens is incomprehensible.

Imagine if ATU openly hated a large chunk of its' riders, and posted things like this on its' socials.

You can't. It's incomprehensible.

PSA: if anyone in your life is trying to dissuade you from getting the shingles shot, you should probably assume that person hates you, and wants you to suffer. There is literally no other explanation.

Shingles hurts worse than childbirth. Worse than knee surgery. Worst pain of my life.
I am baffled by this because I have had so many friends with shingles and NONE of them made it sound fun. Not one. A vaccine that made me absolutely miserable for 48 hours would still be a huge improvement over the mildest case of shingles I've heard of. (Also it made me tired for 1 day.)
All over my FB people talking about their bad experiences with shingles vax and dissuading each other from getting it! We need to give people real info on how to mitigate the symtoms caused by vaccines because vaccines are always better than meeting a virus unprepared. Yet drs aren't coaching ppl
