United Airlines made over $3.1 billion last year. Instead of reaching a fair deal with its flight attendants, United paid its CEO almost $34 million and provided over $162 million in stock buybacks to shareholders.

United must respect its flight attendants and reach a deal NOW.

"ICE is violence-prone because its main purpose has become theatrical. Under present leadership, ICE is less a law-enforcement agency than it is a content creator.

things off the top of my head that i can think of that conservatives have called tyranny

- health care subsidies
- seeing pronouns in an email
- being suspended from a social media platform
- pride month
- baking a cake for a same sex wedding
- legal rulings against donald trump
- EV benchmarks
Trump's thugs are going hog wild and tossing gas around in one of the busiest commercial districts in Minneapolis, just a mile or so from where I live. Complete insanity.

It’s telling when journalists are able to find the active voice. In my mind, the feds are the aggressors, but even if you wanted a more “neutral” framing, you’d make them both subjects in the sentence (Feds and Protestors Clash) rather than making the feds the helpless object of protestor action.
Protesters clashed with federal agents for another night outside the Whipple Federal Building, which holds ICE detainees. Agents fired less-lethal munitions and deployed chemical irritants at the crowd.

What's to stop the Trump regime from going after you next?

All of us need to realize the danger we are facing right now.

A dictatorship knows no bounds.

I also can't believe Fake Law Enforcement are out there harassing peaceful citizenry, while the traffic violations that risk my life multiple times every time I get into a freaking car right now go unchecked.

I can't believe I ever watched the today show. I just saw Oprah and her doc on there hawking a book and GLP meds as a lifelong project...literally pushing this idea that you can never go off them. Clinched by and expert who concurred and failed to name the side effects people might really care about

AOC: I want everybody to understand that the cuts to your health care are what’s paying for this. You get screwed over to pay a bunch of thugs in the street that are shooting mothers in the face.

So challenging...I peek at the outlets serving the other side, and they really are stoking this eugenicist idea of taking back America like it's some kind of religious war...
