does this mean...

I’m sick and tired of Democrats getting on television and social media telling us over and over that Trump is unhinged. Yeah, guys, we know. Do something!

An upcoming Montana ballot referendum would deny corporations the power to spend in state and federal elections. If it passes in deep red Montana, it could pass anywhere. State by state, this could effectively nullify Citizens United. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p1fPbGHe3xE

And I JUST started getting into programming T^T

I do enjoy video essays longer than a standard workday on topics I’ve never heard of before

our mismanagement of the environment has crossed the point of no return, the dolphins are leaving

reminds me of this classic

The response when progressive policies that help millions of people are proposed... "How will you pay for it?" The response when the richest 1% ask for tax cuts, or banks ask for bailouts, or defense contractors ask for more contracts... "How much do you need?" It doesn't have to be this way.

The state of american politics is that one major party wants to kill you while the other simply wants you to die

The lesson of history is that tyrants cannot be appeased. Appeasement only feeds their insatiable hunger for power. Tyrants prey on people who feel unsafe and vulnerable. But without mass submission, a tyrant is powerless. Remember this.

We literally just need to rebuild the Democratic Party and especially its current leadership from scratch. I’m not talking “Gavin Newsom 2028,” no, he’s not enough. He’s better, but he is not even close to what the Democratic Party really needs.

A memo was released by ICE instructing agents to violate the U.S. Constitution. ICE told officers and agents that they can forcibly enter homes without warrants signed by judges. The memo was from ICE Acting Director Todd Lyons, was shared with Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn) by two whistleblowers.

Whenever someone says “ICE isn’t the Gestapo!”, remember that Hitler’s movement used American Jim Crow policies, slave patrols, and Native American Removal as the base line. Correct, ICE isn’t just like the Gestapo, they’re like the Gestapo’s inspiration.

Saint Paul schools will be closed Tuesday and Wednesday to prepare for optional online learning. I’ve seen schools close for snow, for pandemic, for natural disaster. I’ve never seen schools close because of threat from our own government.

Not only do we have reporting on the event, but we have footage that suggests criminal use of force. Anyone of right mind, regardless of the their feelings towards this, administration, should be enraged. ICE has murdered before, but now the whole world has seen it. apnews.com/article/just...

ICE killed a Black man, Keith Porter, 7 days before Renee Good, and I hadn't heard about it until today. His vigils went unnoticed. His life came and gone and America forgot to blink. Two Americas.

For those who have forgotten the past 40 years: Tax cuts for the rich ...don’t trickle down Boosting military spending ...doesn’t bring peace Slashing regulations ...doesn’t create jobs Folks, we’ve seen this all before.

Bet this is what our ballots are going to look like soon.

"Israel Is Banning the 'Last Foreign Witnesses' to Its Genocide in Gaza" In a likely deadly move, the Israeli government told 37 foreign aid groups, including Doctors Without Borders, they could no longer operate in Palestine. Where is the outrage, asks Diana Buttu for Zeteo?

This is abysmal. Nobody should fear being present in public or online because of an evil machine such as this. Twitter officials need to be held legally accountable, the users who participate in this behavior need to be held legally accountable, and most importantly, we need legislation for this.

Unsurprising from the President who can’t stop glazing known imperialist former US president William McKinley.

Anything I wanna say about the US will get me knocks on my door. Evil ass country

EXTRAJUDICIAL ACTIONS

Democrats were overwhelmingly united on their shutdown demands. Americans understood that Trump and Republicans were to blame. Voters made it known last Tuesday that they'll elect leaders who stand up to Trump. Democrats held the cards — and folded for no reason.

Democrats Sick Of Being Blamed For Cowardice On Issues They Actually Just Don’t Care About

Dick Cheney has died. "boom!" by system of a down (2002)

Congratulations to Mayor Mamdani. As a non-New Yorker, I know that although I could not vote for him, and he will not be *my* mayor, his winning will set a precedent. Democratic Socialism is our country’s only hope of ousting corruption and serving the people. #nyc #zohranmamdani #election

Another just true headline from the good folks at The Onion

Folks — this is not a normal government shutdown. Let me explain the stakes and how we got here.

the president of the united states wants to use the american military to kill american citizens on american soil. that's the whole story!

Homeland Security has gone full fascism. This is why also we are seeing them show up with ICE. DHS raided @nadler.house.gov office and arrested one of the aides.

How could you not be impressed by a bird in your yard? This dude can fly anywhere and it came here to hang out with you

"There's a reason you separate military and the police. One fights the enemies of the state, the other serves and protects the people. When the military becomes both, then the enemies of the state tend to become the people." - Commander William Adama, Battlestar Galactica
