My take from the Smith hearings: To be a GOP senator today, you have to be a lying piece-of-shit, who puts loyalty to party & our lying piece-of-shit president, above their oaths to the Constitution & their obligations to tell the truth & do what rights to the American people! Repost if U agree

Shouting out into the Void (continued) I think we need to encourage our current Democratic Representatives to prepare for the possible. By that I mean that if the midterms are indeed the true thermometer of the political climate, that there need to be breaks installed on what is taking place. /1

This morning in Biddeford, Maine, a 26-year-old man said goodbye to his wife and daughter and left for work. Moments later he was dead, shot in the head by ICE agents, the second man ICE has killed in six days. ICE is killing our neighbors. ICE cannot be reformed. Abolish ICE.

Absolutely horrific. ICE must be abolished. This is not a government agency that can be reformed. It’s Trump’s private thug militia with untold billions of dollars at their disposal, and he encourages the violence. It’s very bad to see this in the US.

This is a video of ICE agents pulling a man out of a car and handcuffing him after shooting him in broad daylight in Maine — just days after killing Lorenzo Salgado Araujo in Texas. (1/2)

The SAVE Act is a full blown show your papers scheme. Republicans want passports or birth certificates just to register, knowing millions of citizens do not have easy access to them. Eligible Americans get blocked on purpose. That is voter suppression. 🚫🗳️ #SAVEActIsPayToVote

🚨 Exclusive: The White House made a direct call to FIFA to ask Gianni Infantino to review Folarin Balogun’s red card. FIFA approached for comment and referred to the findings of its independent committee.

What the fuck is wrong with this guy. I was just writing about this Reagan today and referenced the time he laughed it up with Richard Nixon in 1971, calling a UN delegation from Tanzania monkeys and laughing that they weren't wearing shoes. I am not voting for this guy so find a better candidate

Q: For transparency, would you commit to releasing the body cam video from federal officers involved in the Pretti shooting and their names? BLANCHE: I'm not committing to anything

Now that blood is on the street, we still won’t admit you’ve been right all decade long while we scolded and marginalized you. Instead, we’ll declare it’s just now become right to say such things.

"Recent events have brought Trump’s governing style into sharper focus," Jonathan Rauch argues. "'Fascist' best describes it, and reluctance to use the term has now become perverse." theatln.tc/wVq7MFaa

I just spoke with the White House after another horrific shooting by federal agents this morning. Minnesota has had it. This is sickening. The President must end this operation. Pull the thousands of violent, untrained officers out of Minnesota. Now.

To this narcissistic piece of garbage, the worst thing about the murder of Renee Good is that it might have turned her father against him.

Trump: "ICE is gonna be too rough with somebody. They're gonna make a mistake sometimes. I felt horribly when I was told the young woman had the tragedy. But when I learned her father is - I hope he still is, but I don't know - was a tremendous Trump fan. It's terrible. It's so sad. It just happens"

We're not talking enough about how much the Hennepin County Sheriff's Department run by Dawanna Witt is collaborating with ICE. Arresting at Whipple, working with ICE to arrest legal observers, failing to trespass ICE when not welcome in hospitals and schools. Shame.

Pew Research Institute (2023): • Red State Texas has about 2.1 million undocumented immigrants • Red State Florida has 1.6 M undocumented immigrants • Blue State Minnesota has 130,000. And yet only Minnesota is being occupied by masked thugs over "immigration." It's *not* about immigration.

Rep. Lieu: “Greg Bovino last night made a post that essentially called protesters, ‘cannon fodder.’ He needs to delete that post, or he needs to resign…If Greg Bovino and the administration doesn't turn down the rhetoric, it's going to cause more people to get killed.”

Donald J Trump is a fascist, convicted felon, and has been found to have committed sexual assault in civil court. These are facts. Another fact, is that his regime is currently undertaking a massive cover-up to protect pedophiles, potentially if not probably including 47, himself. 8647.

How far up your own ass must one be, to want to illegally impose your fake name everywhere, Ego-monster. "Trump" is a fake made up name, their real name is Drumpf. Drumpf is the original German surname of Donald 'piggy' Trump's horrific criminal racist thieves of a family.

Whether it's an obscure adjunct professor posting that Charlie Kirk did some bad things or it's the president of the United States celebrating Rob Reiner's death, there's plenty of incivility on both sides.

Strap up. Stay locked and loaded. Maybe you can't predict how you'd react when the extrajudicial killing starts, but you should at least give yourself the option of defending yourself.

What’s at stake here is free speech. Across the board, we’ve seen the Trump administration use the power of government to go after anybody who’s criticized them — and in this case, Jimmy Kimmel. We need to all stand up and speak out.

Booker: "Here's the thing, Mr Patel. I think you're not gonna be around long. I think this might be your last oversight hearing. Because as much as you supplicate yourself to the will of Donald Trump and not the Constitution, Donald Trump has shown us he is not loyal to people like you."

Elizabeth Warren on people who say Dems needs to tone down their rhetoric: "Oh, please. Why don't you start with the president of the United States? And every ugly meme he's posted and every ugly word."

Jeff Flanagan reposted

As stated earlier by others, it does not matter what you post or do not post here. The right wing has their narrative they’re going to push, because they understand they are at war with democracy and that propaganda *works.*

Fox News' Jason Chaffetz: "I don’t think it was a coincidence that the shot rang out when you have a question about transgender mass shootings. Hopefully I am wrong. I will probably get criticized for jumping to conclusions... I don’t think that is a coincidence but we will see."
