The ability of billionaires to influence our politics has destroyed our democracy. So much for one person one vote. They are buying elections. We need a constitutional amendment to rid ourselves of the poison of Buckley v Valeo and Citizens United. Gift link: www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Ruben Ray Martinez, 23, was fatally shot by an ICE agent two months into President Trump's second term. His mother says her family has yet to receive justice. n.pr/4ffCfAV

I read this story this morning and it almost broke me. In a land of almost comical abundance, we are starving people to punish them for being poor and to force them into indentured servitude to oligarchs.

In other words they are doing their job

I NEVER want to hear ANYONE ever complaining about the deficit and spending when the President, his family and his cabal of corruption ARE DRAINING OUR TREASURY TO LINE THEIR OWN POCKETS TO THE TUNE OF BILLIONS OF AMERICAN TAXPAYER DOLLARS AND NOBODY IS DOING ANYTHING ABOUT IT

1974 advert from @bikeleague.org

Nothing makes someone look guiltier than forcing the Justice Department to promise never to investigate your taxes or prosecute you for anything they might find

What people are not grasping is that 2 x 0 = 0

Connect the dots.

Iran just reportedly hit an Oracle data center in Dubai and i can't stop thinking about how good it would feel to see my tax dollars spent firing Tomahawk cruise missiles at data centers.

That’s one hell of a cover…..

“No amount of money could compensate for the human misery and loss of life Trump and the USA are responsible for.” This is the way - it's an illegal & unjustified war & we all need to condemn it as such www.theguardian.com/world/2026/a...

War poll is in.

DC folks actually sort of need to demand that heads roll over this. It’s a real problem if law enforcement in the capital is so pathetic, weak, and supine that their instinct is to act as stormtroopers for illicit federal power grabs.

“I don’t want to be in this place I want to go to my school.” - 7 year old imprisoned by ICE for 70 days in a concentration camp in Texas. Today, after @propublica.org published this story, the camp was raided to confiscate letters from the children. www.propublica.org/article/ice-...

GEORGIA — “beloved teacher” Dr. Linda Davis killed in a car crash as ICE chased a man through the streets: www.wtoc.com/2026/02/16/s... Even the ICE release (which blames Dems🤔) says his only crime was being undocumented: www.ice.gov/news/release...

SEN. KAINE: “You said American whites are victims of a cultural genocide… are they represented in the senate? House? Presidency? CEO’s?” Trump’s white nationalist pick for a top state department spot Jeremy Carl skewered by @kaine.senate.gov

A crime against humanity.

In the last month ICE has bought warehouses in: - Hagerstown, MD: $102 million - Surprise, AZ: $70 million - Hamburg, PA: $87 million - Tremont, PA: $120 million - San Antonio, TX: $82 million - El Paso, TX: $123 million - Social Circle, GA: price unknown This is unprecedented.

Epstein survivors are sharing the most important ad you’ll see today. Please watch. Trump and his administration are trying to cover up this scandal, but we are not moving on from it.

Rep. Ted Lieu never “blanches” at truth and accountability.

Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara: "People have had enough. This is the third shooting in less than 3 weeks. The MPD went the entire year last year recovering about 900 guns from the street, arresting hundreds of violent offenders, and we didn't shoot anyone ... this is not sustainable."

Rest in Peace Alex Jeffrey Pretti🙏🏾 The VA ICU Nurses send him off right 💔

ICE is asking for people to quit calling its hotline to report an undocumented girl named 'Anne Frank' hiding in the attics of Republican lawmakers. Please don't call 1-866-DHS-2-ICE (1-866-347-2423) for this reason, or to report pregnant foreigners seeking shelter in your local manger.

This happened in our small town in. Northern Wisconsin as well. Tree and lights torn down and damaged, inflatables torn and other figures smashed.

He really can’t read can he?

Burns: The Old Testament says there’s nothing new under the sun. On July 4th, 1776, there was. Everybody up to that point had been under authoritarian rule. It was in the interests of their rulers that they be uneducated, that they be superstitious, that they be distracted by conspiracies…

A damn daycare. This is sick. What are we doing?

Beshear: Let me be clear. The president has both the funding and the authority to fund snap during a shutdown. In fact, every other president in every other shutdown has done so. People going hungry in this instance is a choice that this president has made.

No notes

Our tax $$$ could be going to schools (they're not), health care (they're not), environmental protections (they're not), any of the science fields (they're not). OUR TAXES ARE GOING TO THESE ICE GOONS!!!

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

Mockler: I'm pretty tired of conservatives gaslighting about the current political environment and Donald Trump's rhetoric when all of this escalation can be traced back to his entrance into American politics.

Covid and the bail out money all over again. Like this administration planned

Who is Trump trying to fire exactly? These geniuses have had to scramble to REHIRE thousands of workers ranging from nuclear scientists to food safety inspectors tracking bird flu. Intimidation tactics won't work. Behave like an adult—negotiate with Democrats.

The Star Wars spinoff series "Andor," set in the years leading up to the events of Rogue One, had an unforgettable night at the 77th Emmy Awards. The series took home five awards, including Best Editing, Best Visual Effects, Best Costume Design, and Best Production Design.
