Excessive force. PERIOD!
They called them “violent mobs,” but the violence came from the guys with badges and body armor.
📌 Keep sharing videos, everyone, because they’re evidence.

That’s $500 million lost per day
Every $1 invested in SNAP generates $1.80 in local economic activity. Without SNAP, that will mean a loss of $15 billion to the US economy just in November alone.
Whenever people complain about the number of folks relying on food stamps, it is worth reminding them that SNAP is, by too large of a degree, a subsidy for corporations that refuse to pay a living wage and their political allies who reject public policy prescriptions to reduce income inequality.

the past two days truly unlocked a new level of rage I didn’t realize I had in me. every awful person did the usual awful things they do, but dialed up to eleven and all at once so it felt like an avalanche
Just thinking about how the right made up an entirely fictional left wing character that resulted in so many bomb threats and the like and nobody will face consequences. But people on the left who accurately clocked the victim’s life work lost jobs.

Has anyone called in this double murder?

Has anyone called in this double murder?
The most dangerous thing in the world is someone trying to convince others that nothing matters anymore and it's all or nothing. There's a lot of reasons for someone to fall into that path, but keeping yourself from doing the same is critical. Fight the good fight, but don't lose yourself to it.
I think this is the best analysis so far.
There's a new generation of nihilistic, post-meaning psychos out there whose brains have been turned into foie gras from being force-fed disinformation. They assume the world is doomed and there's no future, so they just want to cause chaos for the lulz.

This is an actual exchange from a VP who took an oath to defend the constitution and, as a citizen, is expected to abide by the law.
May we one day have accountability for the grotesque lawlessness of this regime.

at their core, trans rights, abortion rights, and vaccine rights are actually all the same issue: they’re all about bodily autonomy, and the willingness to concede any of them puts the others at risk.
I’ve seen a lot of cishet allies who are also confused by all the prominent Dem voices suddenly acting like having trans rights means we can’t also have vaccines and schools and national parks, and that’s because some of the “why” is happening at a pitch only queer and trans people can hear

Donald Trump claims that Lizard People from the hollow center of the Earth are undermining our government. Democrats say that's not true. But most Americans would be scared of Lizard People if there were any. What is Democrats' plan for dealing with them?
