This is my rep. I’ve contacted her multiple times about her votes that I disagree with and every time she takes like 6 months to respond and she brazenly lies to me.
There are something like 7,000,000 Muslim Americans.
If they were all "prone to terrorism," they'd probably, you know, do some terrorism.
White supremacists, on the other hand, ARE prone to terrorism - and responsible for the majority of politically motivated violence in the US.
An opening act of Trump's war of choice was the massacre of schoolkids in Iran.
Those kids would be alive today if Congress had done our job and restrained the president's lust for power.
Sadly, House Republicans again blocked a bill to end the war.
A contemptible failure of moral leadership.
Shout-out to my fellow interweb pedants for whom the admin's adoption of "decimate" as a key term this news cycle has really been such a satisfying boon for us all.

Trump, two fists and one foot firmly fixed in the stickiest tarbaby on earth, turns to his fellows and cries out, "I've pretty much got this but can one of y'all give her a slap for me?"

They beat a blind refugee who speaks no English for failing to obey police commands he could not understand. Then instead of apologizing, they charged him with possession of a “weapon”—HIS WALKING STICK. Then they dumped him miles from home without notifying anyone, after which he was found dead.
Please read this article to the end. Even before ICE got involved, this started because this *blind man who speaks no English and uses a curtain rod as a walking stick* got lost on a walk and some Karen called the police on him and they tasered and beat him bc he didn’t drop the rod. WTF
Crockett: "The US is falling apart, partially bc he's allowing for killings in the street, but also bc we have a 34 count convicted felon being shielded from any type of accountability as it relates to a child sex trafficking ring. I don't understand why we're pretending any of this is normal."
U.K. might lose a prime minister because a guy who worked for him knew another guy who hung out with Epstein. Meanwhile the U.S. opposition party is telling our President, who was Epstein's best friend, that his secret police should get better training so their public street murders look less messy.
Okay troublemakers, punks, antifa supervillains, and anyone who just enjoys being a petty little shitbird while they fuck up the algorithm of a massive media corp. Here's your assignment for the weekend. Get on it and spread the word.
I'm looking for witnesses/victims of DHS retaliation against people recording their agents (ICE, Border Patrol, FPS, etc) in North Carolina.
I focus on press, but victims do NOT need to be a journalist. Everyone has right to record.
Our friends @aclunc.bsky.social would also love to hear from you:
I know I don't have a ton of media followers, but I'll put this out there anyway: if you need someone to comment/offer context on the removal of the slavery exhibit at the President's House site in Philly, get in touch. I just finished an entire book on Americans' fight over Washington and slavery.
You and your wife drop your 6-year-old off at school. You just moved here. You see ICE terrorizing your new neighbors. You film them, as is your legal right. Your wife complies with orders. She is then shot in the head. You still have to pick up your child later today.
This could be you.
My father in law has done his traditional Christmas Day Facebook post to remind us of the true meaning of the day:
Reminding us of the greatest Christmas of all, December 25th, 1989, when they shot that bastard Ceaușescu
Last week, ICE arrested and separated a father and son after a routine check-in. Six-year-old Yuanxin had just enrolled in the first grade at an elementary school in Astoria. Now he's in custody, alone. ICE won't say where. This cruelty serves no one. It must end.
Trump on Ilhan Omar: "I look at somebody who comes from Somalia...and she comes in and tells us how to run our country. 'The Constitution says this, the Constitution says that.' The whole thing is crazy."
No it’s important to listen to this. Because then you understand that many of them will do ANYTHING to keep power. Remember Musk got involved in the 2024 election after saying to Tucker “if she wins” I am definitely going to prison.
So we need to move knowing that nothing is off the table for them.
In the past two days my porch cat has brought up 3 moles, 1 rat, 1 mouse and a fair sized snake.
My wife and I have been dieting. I think she's worried we aren't eating enough.
NEW: Paul Newby, a born-again Christian, has turned his perch atop North Carolina’s Supreme Court into an instrument of political power.
Over two decades, he’s driven changes that have reverberated well beyond the borders of his state.

I hope it's clear to everyone now that Trump really is going for it - he's trying to become a dictator. I don't know if he'll succeed, but he's working to install himself as an autocrat unaccountable to voters. And he's weaponizing the military against Americans who oppose him as part of that effort
The word enigma in Trump's Epstein letter bothered me. It just seemed such a strange selection. Then I realized enigma is an anagram for gamine. Epstein seemed like the kind of guy who would find that a playfully amusing codeword.
Makes the sentence make sense.
