First of all, I apologize on behalf of the United States. We are being held hostage by a bunch of fascists.

Second of all, please help us. Thank you.

Rumor or not, Bill Clinton deciding to reveal his knowledge about vile people raping children and committing heinous crimes doesn’t make him a hero. He’s known for many years. This isn’t new shit. Why did he wait?

It’s bad enough that JD Vance has a little guys need for ego, but it’s a mess when he screws up an athlete’s ability to compete.

They have paid too much effort and sacrifice to have some tool destroy their opportunity.

This administration won’t stop destroying us at any cost.

Go home JD.

Life in prison for every member of ICE is now the moderate position.
This is the gofundme for Alberto Castañeda Mondragón, who suffered multiple skull fractures at the hands of ice officers and then shackled to the bed while being treated at HCMC (against the wishes of hospital staff)
Here is an article that mentions it

Alberta separatists recognize that the whole idea of Alberta joining the US is a nonstarter with Albertans. Funny that. This looks increasingly like one of the "independence" operations run by the Russian intelligence services.

You should read this. It is the type of detail that experts in authoritarian regimes see as telling.
In this case, state agents are offered impunity from higher ups, and the legal system is rendered inoperative as a mode of accountability.

Working people are worried about how AI will impact their job and their future. That’s why 80% of Americans want common-sense guardrails for AI.

Decisions that lawmakers make now will impact workers for years to come, and they must protect working people.

Epstein took this photo at a 2015 dinner with Mark Zuckerberg and Elon Musk and emailed it to himself. Further review shows the same photo displayed on Epstein’s credenza. While much of the image on the credenza had previously been obscured, this email now makes clear what it shows.
