A retired Minneapolis couple who had guns pointed at them by ICE in a church parking lot.

"They were obviously not trained at all. I've known many police officers in my life. These people were right off the streets."

"They had the professional demeanor of criminals."

Cruelty really is the point. Who else would go to court begging for permission to starve their own citizens? Meanwhile, they send $40 billion to Argentina, buying two private jets for ICE “Barbie,” and Trump has already burned through $1 trillion in less than two months.

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.

This is the reality for too many Americans.

The system is broken. We’ve got to elect leaders who will fix it.

Texas Democratic Senator Roland Gutierrez on gutless Governor Gregg Abbott.

Crockett: "They have already decided the only way they can win, b/c they have failed policies, is by making sure they can cheat their way, & while they're cheating, the only way they can do that is while they violate the Constitution as well as the Voting Rights Act & make sure it's people of color"

Motherfucking wind farms…

Two things that shouldn’t be for profit: prisons and healthcare, because the incentive for harm is too great.

Keep ’em sick.
Keep ’em locked up.
keep the checks coming.

Endless grift with a side of cruelty @jojofromjerz.bsky.social

AOC: When they say illegal vs legal immigration—they are trying to end legal status in the US making people undocumented and then they have the audacity to call them illegal when they were here documented.

Trump demands states obey law he just announced via tweet

In the last interview of his life (1996), astronomer Carl Sagan gave an eerily prescient warning of the dangers that come when you cannot ask skeptical scientific questions of those in authority. Watch and ask yourself: was he right?

💯 this!!!

I watched Trump’s 2025 Joint Session speech so you wouldn’t have to.

The results: A 100 minute propaganda masterclass to appease his base, dehumanize those who disagree, & not offer any meaningful solutions to the problems that impact Americans.
