Often overlooked in Ukraine peace talks is the fundamental difference between the two sides: Zelensky represents the Ukrainian people and must fear their wrath; Putin represents only himself—the difference between a country of citizens and a country of subjects.

The No Quiet Piggies Starter Pack is for any and all that support Freedom of the Press, who respect journalists and recognize the importance of journalism, and would never say, "Quiet, piggy," to someone asking a legitimate question.
A pig gif or repost means you want to join. 🐖

Shapiro: He rose to some prominence by writing a book about growing up in Appalachia, where there are a whole lot of people who get SNAP. He made millions of dollars off telling their stories, and then he turned his damn back on those very people he likes to write about and claim as his own.

The Walton family (who own Walmart) are worth over $400 billion, yet many of their employees are on SNAP.

Bezos is worth over $400 billion, many Amazon employees require SNAP.

The people who need help are not the problem.

It’s corporate greed. It’s an unwillingness to pay a living wage.

When a foreigner resides among you in your land, do not mistreat them.

The foreigner residing among you must be treated as your native-born. Love them as yourself, for you were foreigners in Egypt. I am the Lord your God.

The Portland Frog army has now infiltrated Tulsa, OK and they’ve made an unlikely alliance with the T-Rex infantry and Sharks on Hoverboards mercenary forces.

This is truly terrifying.

CBS reporter Edward R. Murrow embodied what a journalist should be: someone who holds power to account instead of capitulating to it.

Over 70 years later, his segment denouncing Joe McCarthy’s congressional witch hunts rings truer than ever.

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion.

The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion.

Read that back.

When 400 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

ICE agents in Chicago are making fake phone calls to police, making up security threats in the hope that local police will remove protesters.

Filing a false report is a serious crime. Just because they're Federal agents does NOT make them above the law. Arrest them www.facebook.com/share/v/1CxK...

Dear Cabinet,

When the President sees a government shutdown as an excuse to destroy government departments, he is obviously not well. He has pledged to faithfully implement the laws of our nation.

You need to use Amendment 25 to remove him from power now, otherwise you are not doing your jobs.

I’m sickened by reports that ICE harassed my constituent & terrorized his autistic daughter—a U.S. citizen—by using her as bait. If true, it’s cruel, inhumane, and they must be held accountable. Thuggish, lawless behavior like this has no place in our country.
