My close friend has 2 members of his staff stopped by ICE and taken away. One had been here for over 25 years. Both had their work shirts on so that now my friend worries that he will have more staff taken and ultimately lose his business in addition to destroying his staffs' lives.

There are priorities, and then there are *PRIORITIES*. This current regime is actively destroying our own country AND much of the rest of the world. We need to fix that first. We can't do anything for anyone else if we are this broken.

Why?, Why?, WHY?! is he allowed to continue? Why was he ever allowed to start? Why can't those in government get him out? Democratic leaders? The courts? Anyone? How morally bankrupt to you need to be as a Republican, knowing what you know and still allow this to continue?

The ideal subject of totalitarian rule is not the convinced Nazi or the convinced Communist, but people for whom the distinction between fact and fiction (i.e., the reality of experience) and the distinction between true and false (i.e., the standards of thought) no longer exist. Hannah Arendt

I DON'T CARE THAT THREATENING ANNIHILATION IS "JUST WHAT HE DOES"! TELL THAT TO THE PEOPLE OF IRAN! I AM SO ANGRY AND DISHEARTENED THAT NOONE IN GOVERNMENT WITH THE POWER WILL STOP HIM!

“Let those who have weapons lay them down. Let those who have the power to unleash wars choose peace. Not a peace pursued by force, but through dialogue. Not with the desire to dominate the other, but to encounter them.” — Pope Leo XIV

Guess what? You can be a person of faith; one who truly follows the messages of Jesus, and still be a liberal. In fact, true followers of Christ are doing just that. Do not conflate Christian Nationalism with all Christians

He is decent, truthful, and always put the best interests of the country first even if you don't agree with him, even if he made mistakes. I have never voted for a Republican for President, but when one was elected, I didn't fear their leadership, until now.

Powerful white men once equated Black people with monkeys to justify their abduction, deportation, enslavement, lynching and segregation. The heinous image that Trump shared is explicit racism. There is no nowhere for his supporters to hide. Supporting him is incompatible with basic human decency.

Immigrants are carrying this country on their backs while the right screams into the void. Here’s the Cato Institute report: www.cato.org/blog/cato-st...

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

"Videos analyzed by The New York Times appear to contradict the accounts of federal officials, who said Mr. Pretti approached Border Patrol agents with a handgun and the intent to 'massacre' them. Video footage shows Mr. Pretti stepping between a woman and an agent who is pepper spraying her. ...

There was no "Emergency" situation with crime in DC. This stunt got a 20 year old young woman killed. It. Got. A. Woman. Killed.

I know there’s other stuff going on, but, I WISH LEVIS WERENT A FULL SIZE SMALLER OUT IF THE DRYER!

NEW: Epstein survivors release the most powerful PSA I have ever seen. Make this go viral so every member of the House of Representatives sees it.

FACT: In July, Marsha Blackburn voted for the largest cut to SNAP in the history of the program. Now, 700,000 TN children, seniors & people w/ disabilities are going to miss meals and she’s pretending to care b/c she’s running for Governor. She thinks your too dumb to remember

If ever there was a meeting that could have been an email...

CLIP: “Figuring out ways to love my neighbor became so hard as a Republican.” Ex-GOP Lt. Gov. of GEORGIA Geoff Duncan, now running for Gov as a Dem, says others are having the same journey — and the “tone & tenor” inside the GOP chased him away. Full: www.instagram.com/reel/DO9e6s2...

Many I miss him!

Here is the tally. The right-wing just screams loudly while ignoring their own acts.

In 72 hours a school is once again attacked. An immigrant wanting to do what's right and register with the government only to be abducted by masked people in front of his children.Trump tries to pull back 4.9B in foreign aid and RFKJr is gonna kill us all. And I stuck to my 5 minutes a day of news.

At what point does one decide, "...too far, it's time to leave the country?" recognizing not all have the option... The deployment of the Nat'l Guard to cities that neither need it nor requested it seems to be expanding and i wonder if this is the tipping point.

Why isn’t there a HUGE OUTCRY that RFK Jr has essentially defunded vaccines and vaccine research. We are (were), so close to a viable cancer vaccine for some cancers including one for Glioblastoma.

the trump administration is selling its war on higher education as a strike against the elites who have disadvantaged ordinary americans. in actuality, the administration is destroying advanced education for *everyone* in pursuit of its effort to deskill the american public

So this Qatar plane thing...could you even IMAGINE the outcry if Obama or Biden had even thought about this? And, at what cost will you and I pay to have this thing amped up the way a real AF1 needs to be? And also? it's like totally illegal.

Yeah, I lost 2% of my portfolio. I'm in my 60's. I flipped to 30% equities, feeling shit was gonna go down. I'm glad I did. 2% is likely not close to what many, many people experienced today in the stock market. He doesn't care about you. He is cruel. He wants money, adulation, and revenge.

They don’t even hide the bigotry anymore. Charles Rogers saved lives. I am embarrassed to be a citizen of this country.

Over $1.75 trillion was wiped out from the US stock market today. Trump owns all of this.

Trump is causing an entirely avoidable recession.

“Transitioning” from 50 straight months of job growth, a 400% rise in manufacturing construction and the best back-to-back years for the stock market in a quarter century. 🤡

Please share this with people in your life who care about social security!

One more time for the people in the back.

Can’t stress this enough! And obviously neither the SEC or the DOJ (at least at the highest levels) is going to seriously investigate and prosecute insider trading.
