The SAVE Act is meant to make voting harder and more intimidating so people don't do it. When you combine it with ICE agents potentially being deployed at the polls, it's clear what Trump is trying to do before the midterms - make it harder to vote.

The problem with getting older is that your birthdays lose meaning apparently. Today I got a whole wopping 3 text messages wishing my happy birthday. Not even from my family. I guess this is the beginning of the end.

This video from Portland is a metaphor for what is going on in America. ICE trying so hard to get Americans to cross a line and if they don't, dragging them across the line and violently attacking.

One evil man who murders civilians from his own and other countries consoles another evil man who murders civilians from his own and other countries for not getting an award for which neither evil man is even remotely deserving.

Pathetic

The Oregon Republican Party tried to help Donald Trump make the case for military intervention in Portland with an image of a fiery protest — but since Portland is calm, they had to fabricate one by merging old photos of police in Ecuador and protesters in Brazil www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Does #bluesky just recommend NFL crap regardless of who you are? I hate football and have literally never posted about it. But that is almost all my search discovery is. Why is it so hard to find new content here.

Federal officer blasts chemical spray into vocal but nonviolent Portland protester, video shows The interaction illustrates how federal law enforcement officers do use aggressive tactics against protesters who yell and needle officers but don’t appear to present clear physical threats.

You. Are. Allowed. To. Insult. The. Police. It’s a core First Amendment principle. This is utterly lawless behavior, for which there will be no (short-term) consequences. That he does it so casually, as they are walking away, in front of cameras. Rightly confident in his impunity.

Last year, CNN ran a “fact check” of Kamala HQ that claimed we were lying for saying Trump’s plan is Project 2025. Now Trump is outright admitting it’s his plan. Legacy media failed the country.

Republicans control the House, the Senate, and the White House. If they wanted to, they could work to keep the government open. But they don’t. They’re shutting down the government, and here’s why.

ICE agents showing they lack even the most basic knowledge of law and due process.

“Show us your warrant!” “Ma’am, you’ve been watching too many movies. We’ll show you the warrant after we’re done.” 🤔 *busts in the door with babies crying*

Disgusting example of how untrained these people are.

NEW: ICE agents violently arrested a man in a busy Hyattsville, MD intersection this week, at one point brandishing guns and pointing them at bystanders. I spoke to multiple witnesses—including a local priest whose church is a sanctuary for undocumented people: www.thehandbasket.co/p/ice-agents...

Embarrassing that in this day, companies like #crutchfield still have password policies that restrict characters like '&' and '#'. Guess what that tells me about your password hashing and DB kids? Maybe it sucks? #cybersecurity #security

NEW: The Pentagon told journalists it will require them to pledge they won’t gather any information — even unclassified — that hasn’t been expressly authorized for release, and will revoke the press credentials of those who do not obey. @washingtonpost.com

#Amazon search in the app has gotten to be absolute shit. I can't even put in exact terminology for what I'm looking for and find it. And why does it constantly pester me for food every time I check out. JFC. Customer obsession is dead.

This is a lie. We all saw the video. The Senator clearly identified himself, and he did not "lunge" toward anyone.   If these miserable propagandists will lie to you about roughing up a U.S. Senator in a room full of reporters, what won't they lie to you about?

It is 100% carrying water for the opposition to participate in this collective delusion that Dems for some reason need to answer for every teen who throws a rock rather than hold the Trump admin accountable for intentionally creating chaos and breaking the law to stoke violence. They are in charge.

Geoff Sweet reposted

Really shocked that an admin filled with podcasters, social media influencers, reality TV participants, indicted felons, crypto bros, drunks, Fox hosts, drug addicts, weirdos, and unqualified ass kissing toadies can’t keep their shit together for 24 consecutive hours.

Hahaha nothing is funnier than Republicans self-roasting themselves while attempting to roast Democrats!

God almighty people are stupid. Conservative politics have just destroyed the most basic critical thinking skills in their base. You can't even talk to them anymore about anything to do with science.

Trump says movies produced outside the U.S. are a national security threat. So he’s imposing a 100% tariff on all movies that are “produced in foreign lands.”
