For a healthy democracy, we need more political diversity. No two-party monopolies. I truly believe Dems need to step aside and let independents like Bernie or Green Party candidates share the spotlight to unify the left against the fascist MAGA cult. ☮️🤙🇵🇸

Hey #MAGA, I get it. I was once a die-hard Lance Armstrong fan. I understand how hard it is to think of your idol as a liar and a cheater. But as soon as you face reality and stop protecting him, the better off YOU will be. It will hurt, but you are tough. I believe in you. #trump #djt #epstein

Senator Gillibrand called on Al Franken to resign. I think she should resign for falsely smearing Zohran Mamdani as a terrorist. He has never invoked a ‘global jihad’. This is a nasty, Islamophobic racist smear from a sitting Dem senator.

I have low expectations for @kirstengillibrand.bsky.social, and even I was shocked by the naked Islamophobia that she was engaging in, including falsely accusing him of "global jihad". I called her office and told them that this behavior is unacceptable from a sitting senator ☎️: (202) 224-4451

“Is there any sign of life?” “Have we heard a heartbeat?” “Does she feel any kicking?” “We don’t have the equipment to do that.” That’s the full 911 audio from a nurse inside an ICE detention center near Denver, calling for help as a four-months-pregnant woman bled and cried out in pain.

In today’s adventures in U.S. war powers. Old: POTUS unilaterally directing the use of military force against other countries. New: POTUS unilaterally approving use of military force against U.S. forces.

Lmao. I knew it was telegraphed to the point of constructive approval, but actually saying that is *wild*

remember when Elon Musk straight up performed a Nazi salute, twice, on stage, and the NYT was like "hmm, huh, what can this mean, who can say"

“ICE” bounty hunters made this possible. By making it easy to cosplay as federal agents: masked faces, no visible ID, no official vehicles, and gear that any yahoo can buy on Amazon. They look like criminals! 🚨 Man arrested who pretended to be an ICE agent while committing a robbery in Houston.

Yet another video that shows that these masked thugs aren't after criminals. The man in the truck refused to get out. When the public swarmed in, the masked thugs left. Border Patrol or not, if they were after legitimate criminals they wouldn't just leave. Quotas. That's what they're after.

Boyle: For every American household that makes under $55,000 a year, they will be poorer as a result of this bill. So it's quite clear under this Republican betrayal— the poor get poorer, the rich get richer, and the middle class falling further behind. This is wrong.

And then this shit just came out. When you’re making over $700k a year, gaining $12k is nothing. It’s a nice vacation, redoing the garage, giving a niece/nephew a car. When you’re making $23k a year, losing $1600 is “are we paying for food or for the house or for medical bills” territory.

Budzinski: Families making over $700,000 a year will see a boost of $12,000 almost entirely from tax cuts. Shockingly, households making $23,000 a year or less are set to lose about $1600 a year, mostly due to deep cuts to Medicaid and food assistance

I don't like the far right OR the far left. I like things to stay in the moderate center, where genocide is fine and people's healthcare money is given to cruise missile manufacturers.

A federal judge in Tennessee just denied the government’s request to keep Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia locked up while it appeals his release. Judge Waverly D. Crenshaw Jr. upheld the magistrate’s order to free Abrego Garcia,

My Mexican wife wants to go to Tucson to go shopping. I try to never deny her anything, but have you seen what’s going on in the US? There is no chance I am taking my Mexican family to the US. If they get taken by ICE, they can end up in an African detention camp. 🖕🏼🇺🇸

For-profit insurance companies like UnitedHealthcare are defrauding taxpayers out of $80 billion a year. HHS Secretary Kennedy claims he wants to "clean up corruption" while he is doubling taxpayer dollars to these companies. That sounds like the real "waste, fraud, and abuse."

Socialism is what they called public power. Socialism is what they called social security.    Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.   Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people. —Harry Truman, 1952

We are called on to join anti-Zionist groups such as Jewish Voice for Peace, and to endorse the nonviolent BDS program that backs Palestinian rights, as in generations past we supported boycotts in the Jim Crow South and apartheid South Africa.

Senate Republicans are trying to rush through Trump’s “Big Beautiful” bill — packed with a billion-dollar Big Oil giveaway and brutal cuts to Medicaid. It’s a massive wealth grab from the poor to the ultra-rich. We can't afford to stay silent. 📣 Tell your Senators: VOTE NO. 👉 ourrev.us/cqnvso

Hiding declassified files and presidential records is yet another way for the administration to dodge accountability. The authoritarian always seeks to limit your access to information.

This should be bigger story. Connect the dots… 📌 Rep Khanna asked Defense Sec Hegseth if the Pentagon would obey a federal court order. Hegseth refused to answer. 📌 DOJ whistleblower says officials told staff to ignore judges and deport people anyway. There’s a coordinated plan to defy the courts
