The only responsible attitude for liberals and progressives to align on is that all right-wing grievances, claims and believes are not only false, but malicious lies. Nothing passes the mouth of an American conservative in public life that is not meant to harm and destroy the lives of millions.

I think the argument needs to be made to basic dem bass voters that voting for nithya in the primary boxes out Pratt and gets us a safe dem/dem general. I actually think a lot of them would be receptive to that.

You could say that Rock n Roll was born 111 years ago today in Arkansas, but probably not where you'd think. Before there was a Chuck Berry or Little Richard, there was those who wanted to be like her. Rosetta Nubin better known as Sister Rosetta Tharpe, the godmother of Rock was born on this day

Climate change is happening. It's time California acted like it, and funded the State Rail Plan to build 1500 miles of electric rail around the state.

Sometimes I be listening to orchestral performances on YouTube, and I love when they pan to the percussion section and I see they've brought a bigass gong out like aw yeah it's about to go down

Why do I have to pretend that I'm going to print something in order to save it as a PDF. Why do I have to engage in a little ruse.

Sacramento deserves a regional rail system. What would it take to build it?

Yesterday, five-year-old Liam and his dad Adrian were released from Dilley detention center. I picked them up last night and escorted them back to Minnesota this morning. Liam is now home. With his hat and his backpack.

I keep thinking again, in light of the latest Epstein files dump, about how MeToo “went too far.”

Being a journalist is sick: I just contacted a pre-eminent jaguar conservationist in Argentine with a question that has been weighing on me for ages and he wrote back right away with an informed answer.

I'd only add, if you vote to fund ICE, there's no denying that's the mission you're supporting now. You're also complicit

ICE has now carried out two summary executions of innocent people in the streets of an American city. If you work for ICE, there's no denying that's the mission you're supporting now. You don't get to claim in one year or ten or twenty that you didn't know what ICE was doing. You're complicit.

Rapid responders still out there, tracking ICE. In spite of everything, even now. Heroes

There is video, do not seek it out, it clearly shows an execution.

Yesterday the Metro board made two terrible decisions that show they're incapable of leading this agency, which is currently in the middle of the largest transit expansion in the country. The state legislature has the power to restructure the board, and LA needs them to do it.

ICE detained a 2-year-old girl in Minneapolis and put the child on a flight to a detention center in Texas, despite a court ordering her release: www.startribune.com/agents-detai...

Shit like this is why it’s been fuck AI from day one. Always where it was heading.

SEEING IS BELIEVING DHS claims the car being chased rammed the ICE vehicle. The video shows the opposite. 📌 A father and son, a US citizen, are chased. The teen is beaten and seriously injured. The father is deported. DHS lied. The video tells the truth. Excellent reporting by Antonia Hylton.

really hard to focus on anything other than how scared and confused and ashamed a five year old who got arrested in front of his own house and shipped to texas must be right now

A culture where this kind of overt we're-breaking-the-law-and-have-to-hide-it can happen and filter down the ranks and go for months before a whistleblower reveals it, as opposed to everyone immediately going "hell no that's crazy and illegal," is not fixable or reformable. Burn it to the ground.

Minnesota: "School officials say the [5-year-old] child was used as bait. They say [ICE] agents made little Liam knock on the door to ask to be let in in order to see if anyone else was home."

right now the floor for me is abolish ICE and put every agent on trial and the average elected democrat is like what if we told them to cut it out

“The truth always lies somewhere in the middle” has to be one of my least favorite phrases. Sometimes, one side is actually truthful and one side is actually malicious and lying!

every single goddam crisis happening right now is self imposed

Abolish ICE. Destroy their weapons and melt down their equipment. Deny their agents, employees, and bosses all government employment for all time. Remove the agency entirely from the budget and give the money to public libraries and free health care.

These loathsome fucking turds should be shouted at, interfered with, humiliated, & disdained at every possible opportunity. They should face contempt everywhere they turn until the day they die.

Know your rights

WE WON BITCHES

The number of Gestapo in Germany was 32,000. The population was 70 million. That's one Gestapo for every 2200 citizens. The number of ICE agents is 20,000. The population of the US is 348 million. That's one ICE agent for every 17,000 citizens. There are more of us.

Democrats should run on the fact that their opposition is literally killing Americans and destroying the country. It’s not hyperbole. That’s the message they should be blasting out to media every day. They are killing Americans and destroying the country. They hate our freedom. They hate democracy

1. ICE will kill you. 2. Trumpists will lie to justify it. 3. Because they are all thug trash.

I am impeaching Secretary Kristi Noem, who is an incompetent leader and a disgrace to our democracy. She wreaked havoc in the Chicagoland area and has brought her reign of terror to Minneapolis. One of her rogue ICE agents shot and killed an innocent woman today. It must come to an end.

The “prosecute the former regime at every level” candidate has my vote in 2028.

ever since I learned about three-cueing I've developed infinitely more patience for replies on social media. mfers literally do not know how to read. people are walking around conjuring random meanings into words they don't know, and they don't know a lot of words. it's crazy

Dr. Jane Goodall filmed an interview with Netflix in March 2025 that she understood would only be released after her death.

“Terrible things are happening outside. Poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes. Families are torn apart. Men, women, and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared.” Diary of Anne Frank January 13, 1943

I hate what this stupid administration has done to me as a person. I hate believing that human beings greet mercy with contempt and oppression with respect.

This is incredibly beautiful storytelling.

Hint for Democratic lawmakers from your voters: We want you to vote NAY on everything the GOP wants. E V E R Y T H I N G

the reason to vote against every single person nominated to serve in this administration is that they are disqualified by virtue of agreeing to serve in this administration

We’re announcing new legislation — the No Secret Police Act (SB 627) — to ban local/state/federal law enforcement, w/ some exceptions, from covering their faces when interacting w/ the public & require them to wear identifying info. The secret police behavior we’re seeing destroys trust & must end🧵
