Also, if we’re being blunt, the purpose of nonviolent resistance isn’t to avoid getting your ass kicked. It’s to dare them to kick your ass as brutally and publicly as possible.

By the way, for those of you not in MN: Homan’s strategy was to withdraw some agents, so it felt like we were in the denouement of the crisis, and then escalate hard against observers. They’re being incredibly aggressive with observers now. National media may not want to check out just yet

this might be the first time I've seen Jeffries genuinely angry at someone besides the left, this statement was *not* workshopped to hell and back
BREAKING:
New reaction from Leader Jeffries to the racist Trump video:
"This disgusting video posted by the so-called president was done intentionally. Fuck Donald Trump and his vile, racist, and malignant behavior. This guy is an unhinged bottom feeder."

3. Other staffers have access & one of them did it and

In 2024, Trump stated that only himself and Dan Scavino have access to his Truth Social account.
This contradicts Karoline Leavitt’s implication that some random, unnamed low-level staffer was to blame for posting the now-deleted racist Obama ape video.

This is a great idea and we should expand it to cover *all* of the justices of the Supreme Court, and then we could see who did unethical stuff like "attended the Grammys" or "bankrolled by a billionaire white supremacist donor who collects Nazi memorabilia" or "married to a January 6th plotter" or
So absurd — with all the corruption on the supreme court, @MarshaBlackburn wants Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson investigated for going to the Grammys, because they said mean stuff about her puppet master’s goons

i always love it when liberals critique me for being part of some leftist hive mind when like, I voted exclusively for Democrats. I told other people I thought it was best to vote for Democrats.
The Democrats lost. And they didn't lose because leftists refused to vote for them.

Literally is there any reason to not have this be a 24/7 news story (other than also needing coverage of the concentration camps & etc)
I am not going to repost the vile and racist image that Trump posted last night of President & First Lady Obama because it is beyond disgusting. Trump is a vile racist as is every Republican that continues to support him. I don’t want to hear mumbling from Mike Johnson or stoic silence from Thune.

This is definitely not true of all religions, and it's not even true of all Christian sects lmao
Every religion appears to give its adherents permission to believe they are the chosen ones, and the non-believes are infidels not worthy of respect.
The same traits as fascism, basically, which is why the likes of JD Vance believe their religion endorses their supremacist beliefs.

IMO part of the reason is that they think progressivism inevitably leads to things like these ICE/CBP abuses; that is, to be more specific about what exactly the "obvious error in their thinking" is, IMO it's that—that they (erroneously) think progressivism lead to the very thing you're against

Harris made definite missteps and took some horrible positions. Sexism and racism also played a role. Why can't both be (obviously) true lol
Imagine thinking Kamala’s problem was misogyny lol.
She was a dipshit who tripled down on Biden’s ineptness. The cherry ontop was that she had the personality of drywall.
