They not only want a humiliate you & treat you like dirt under their feet; when they release you they don't even give you the possessions you had when they took you in the first place. #ICE is a disgusting violent vile organization that needs to be wiped out.

I’d love to know who this fiery, patriotic young woman is, so I could follow her social media or Substack. This is EXACTLY how the fuck we should all be feeling about the corrupt, criminal regime that’s infested the White House. This shit has to end. And people like this woman will lead the way.

The plain fact of it is thus: the Trump administration wants to re-segregate higher education. It is a racist project straight-up-no-chaser. Accommodating any of this puts you on the wrong side of history, makes you a collaborator in this project. ballsandstrikes.org/law-politics...

One thing is quite clear. The free world is moving on, leaving the US behind & having no regret. As an American I love my country but I don't blame the rest of the world one damn bit for being fed up with Trumpian America & the violence, hate & stupidity the creature in our White House is spreading.

Vivek Ramaswamy, Ken Paxton, Mike Collins, Roger Marshall, on and on - everywhere you look the most despicable humans financed by a handful of billionaires and elevated by Trump want you to give them even more political power to serve their interests at your expense.

People who throw tantrums because they are politely reminded that they are on the hook for any criminal behavior they might engage in are essentially confirming that they are engaging in criminality that they should be on the hook for.

The GOP's fake freakout over potential consequences for corruption is itself a deterrence scheme—to mindfuck and intimidate Dems out of imposing meaningful accountability. But it actually exposes all the cogs of the vast machinery of right wing bad faith. 🧵 www.offmessage.net/p/trump-gop-...

I would like to see the end of the term "vaccine skeptic," to be replaced by "reality denier." These so-called skeptics are actually the most gullible rubes on the planet when it comes to conspiracy nonsense and tech-bro slop; the only thing that makes them skeptical is peer-reviewed evidence.

Dear Trump voters, You wanted mass deportations. Well, hundreds of thousands of people have been deported. NOW WHAT? • Did you get that job they supposedly took from you? • Did grocery prices drop? • Is rent cheaper? • Did your health insurance premiums drop? #TrumpsAbuseOfPower 🧵
