www.newsweek.com/doj-told-vic... if a normal person killed one person they would be sent to jail for life. Boeing killed hundreds and won’t even face a felony charge

Normally, If one person somehow tanked the global economy over a period of a few days, they would probably be fired or something.

I saw a person was recently arrested for impersonating an ICE agent. They knew he was fake because he respected people’s civil liberties and allowed for due process.

It is interesting that as the last generation to live through a world war dies off, the closer we seem to be to the next one.

Free speech is the cornerstone of a free democratic society. If people cannot state their opinions for fear of prosecution then democracy has failed.

Kids as young as 15 really should never be prosecuted as adults.

www.reuters.com/world/middle... only Israel gets away with bombing innocent UN workers. Any other nation would face consequences

www.politico.com/news/2025/03... this crazy cronyism. Did he send any of his poor constituents a cell phone so they could contact him?

The principle that freedom of speech is an inalienable right shared by all mankind is the foundation of the US and what it means to be American. If someone doesn’t believe in that principle I would support having their citizenship revoked

The government's stated justification for deporting him is so unconvincing that it must not be allowed to stand.

Mahmoud Khalil is the perfect illustration of why almost all speech needs protection. The pendulum swings. When any administration gets to decide what is hate speech or disinformation then any speech can become illegal. Free speech for all. I may not like what you say but I will fight to protect it.

I don’t understand this first amendment argument around forcing adult website to do age verification. Why shouldn’t they do age verification if the content is only legal for adults. I get that some states passed laws requiring draconian age verification but verification on its face is good.

Trump is firing a bunch of CIA personnel. Even a broken clock is right twice a day.

www.cbsnews.com/news/israel-... no one is even talking about this. The US backed genocide gets a pass even when trump backs it. We should ask why

The best resistance to the republicans is to actually pass meaningful legislation when it’s your turn in power.

Some people always assume a jury was correct in finding a person guilty and always assume a jury was wrong in finding someone not guilty.

I tried New England coffee today. Never again

Why would anyone of talent take a job with the federal government right now? People work for the government because, although it normally pays less, it has better stability than the private sector. Stability is out the window. Go get that bag people.

The next time you sit down on a public toilet, remember someone had to clean that for you, and that person deserves a living wage

bsky.app/profile/anap... perfect case of pure racism. All the Palestinians are a death cult while apparently Israel who just purposefully murdered over 100,000 civilians including children are is justified. Who really belongs to the death cult here?

Elections during war are a good thing actually.

Why shouldn’t a nation at war hold elections? I can’t think of a better time.

If you see your fellow citizens suffering through extreme weather and natural disasters, and your first thought is if they live on a red or blue state, then your the problem

Society has us working jobs we hate to by crap we don’t need

2 million Americans woke up in a prison today. Many of which are for profit prisons.

Every product made / assembled in America by prison labor should have an official label on it stating which prison took advantage of the loophole in the 13th Amendment.

If the 500,000 people living homeless is not the number 1 political issue then no political party cares about poor people

Mugshots should be illegal

A country that allows 500,000 of its citizens to be homeless and another 2 million to live in prisons can never claim to be a nation under god.

Apparently the GOP is just now discovering the existence of Iron Mountain.

Good society’s do not make their citizens file for bankruptcy to cure their cancer.

they way they always needed 60 senators but the gop could always get by with 51. the way there were always just enough absences or defectors to lose important votes by exactly one. but people just refuse to look at it and here we are

A plane crashed in Philly and took out a whole block and it doesn’t take over the Philly news cycle. People in Philly are like yep that happened, next

There is unusual amount of people here who claim to be progressive but would gladly take the CIA and FBIs word as gospel

Real leftist do not defend FISA

3 possibilities: 1. Elon is a nazi. 2. Elon is pretending to be a nazi to troll people. 3. Elon is actually stupid enough to accidently perform a nazi salute, but can't admit fault for any reason, so now he's running with it. Notice that in all 3 of these cases, Elon is a piece of absolute garbage.

When someone on the left champions the FBI, that’s not really leftist.

Israel aid is exempt btw

People please enough with the price of eggs posts. Why is this a thing?

I’m sick of hearing about the price of eggs coming from both sides of the political aisle. It’s call avian flu people. It has nothing to do with inflationary pressures from government spending or anything a president does other than perhaps better regulation of the poultry industry

www.politico.com/news/2025/01... probably because it’s unconstitutional. I remember when republicans were all about following the constitution to the letter

Trump undoing Biden’s executive orders is why the filibuster must end. If it wasn’t passed by congress then it’s not real progress. If your senator will not commit to ending the filibuster then they are not serious about delivering change.

I forgot how long a Witcher 3 play through takes

If we were a Christian nation under god, none of our citizens would live in poverty

Many people in the replies are talking about context. How is this for context: the government is actively sending weapons to a country led by a man with an active arrest warrant from the ICC. A journalist asking questions about this was dragged out of a press conference for pressing the issue.

We choose to let our citizens live in poverty. We could it end it today if we wanted to
