If you’re willing to say, out loud, that it’s “worse” to rape a 5 year old than a 14 year old, this was never about protecting kids.

I don't want our public money going toward greedy corporations who see us as cattle, OR billionaire pedos who torture children, OR another mile of stolen land for Israel. I want it to go toward American families so they can have more time, freedom, services, and stability.

Our leading news organizations turned a cache of ultimately-innocuous emails into a scandal-coded weeklong series of front page stories leading into the 2016 election. If they do not cover the "emails from notorious pedophile implication the President" emails with the same fervor, it's curious!

Citizens United has allowed corporations to buy republicans AND democrats to create a system for corporations at the expense of the people. Yes, every republican, but many democrats are making millions at the expense of average Americans with their loyalty to corporations

Did you know that the GOP Congress has worked less than 20 days since July?
Yet we’re still paying their full salary.

In the final years of his life, Dick Cheney earned praise for breaking with his beloved Republican Party and defying Donald Trump.
But Cheney, who died at 84 on Monday, never addressed the worst transgression of his decades in politics: his deployment of lies to grease the way to the Iraq invasion.

Dick Cheney and the big lie that should never be forgotten
It led to 4,400 dead US troops and 200,000 or so dead Iraqi civilians.

If you’re seeing a surge of MAGA accounts commenting everywhere, take a closer look. Bot activity has spiked since Saturday evening the goal is to sway tomorrow’s elections. Click on their profiles and you’ll often find the same accounts posting identical comments across hundreds of posts.

People fucking hate this guy. They fucking hate ICE. They fucking hate how much power he has. He is at 63% overall disapproval to 37% approval. That's lower than their poll after January 6th. And this poll was done before he started intentionally starving people. I wish our media would reflect this.

It’s hard to convey just how much Chicagoans are mobilizing against ICE. Don’t want to downplay the harm, or make it seem like a fair fight. But in neighborhoods across this city, ICE is getting chased by people blowing whistles and shouting. People are running TOWARD ICE to protect their neighbors.

I have to stress how highly unusual it is for the most powerful military on the planet to be blowing up random boats in international waters.
I can’t help but feel that several criminal charges will ultimately come from these strikes.
It makes far more sense to interdict them.
