Either our constitutional rights mean something or they don’t.
We’ve been in a constitutional crisis for 5 years. The 14th amendment has been essentially erased by the Supreme Court.
Extra judicial killings at sea and now at home by a government agency. They’ve destroyed our democratic republic.

ICE is running around Chicago harassing people for not being white.
Just a year ago, that was illegal in the United States and now it’s commonplace.
That’s not making America great again.

Pritzker: "In any other country, if federal agents fired upon journalists & protesters when unprovoked what would we call it? If officials marched down streets harassing civilians & demanding their papers, what would we say? I don't think we'd have trouble calling it what it is: authoritarianism"

My dad was a huge NRA-for life gun-lover. A few years ago he was dividing up his collection and I let my brothers take them all - claimed his stereo instead.
It’s all part of the liberal radicalization of my children to “love your neighbor as yourself”

BREAKING: Disney+ is to replace the two-season run of Andor with a recut version that runs for only five minutes, and is just Mon Mothma apologising profusely to Darth Vader for any inconvenience, and letting him have whatever he wants.

American people: I have big feels - let’s see what happens if we give the insurrectionist party another go.
Insurrectionists: thanks, let’s deport foreign-looking people, demonize lgbtq people, declare the 50% of US terrorists, excuse rape + pedo, and ruin the economy so we can collect bribes

The problem with most American Christian’s is that they actually hate Jesus’ life and teachings… but have never realized this fact because they don’t know much about Jesus’ life and teachings.

One of the first things I was taught about planning funerals is that it’s unethical to “preach someone into heaven” or “make paint then as a saint”
I thought this was weird advice at the time - but turns out many people try.

Violence has many forms - while some are obvious and loud, most violence is polite and respectable. All violence hurts and kills. As a society, collectively we have proven unwilling to address either type - and so violence remains deeply present in all facets of American life.

The MSNBC commentator saying that most political violence has historically come from the left just once again showed how we suffer from failing to learn history. Lynching, pogroms, race riots, the political violence that ended Reconstruction, and against the Civil Rights Movement. Come on.

BREAKING: ICE is sending Russian dissidents back to Russia. When the dissidents arrived in Russia, the Russian authorities were given documents relating to their asylum applications in the US which under US law are confidential. This seems to be part of a secret agreement between Trump and Putin.
