I never gossip. Except to save a soul. Or a conversation. So you won't catch me repeating the rumors about JD Vance and Erika Kirk.

Over 170 U.S. Citizens Illegally Kidnaped By Immigration Agents.

Kicked, Dragged, Held Incommunicado, and Detained for Days

More Than 170 U.S. Citizens Have Been Held by Immigration Agents. They’ve Been Kicked, Dragged and Detained for Days.

Jews come from Judea.

Say it with us class.

J-U-D-E-A

Even those white looking ones that were living in exile.

So the motherland would be where?

Jewland, correct.😁 MF Israel, yo.

How does one colonize their own motherland?

Are you going to tell a Lenape they're occupiers..
The progressive movement has an antisemitism problem.

Which other minority do they call to wipe out?

Jews are .2% of world population. Half live in the one tiny nation surrounded by enemies that’s scapegoated as the worst evil on earth. How Hitler-like.

Democrats need to examine this Jew hatred.

Verizon has as good a coverage as AT&T so I switched all four of my wireless phones over yesterday to the company thats NOT publicly supporting cuts to food aid.
1. Major corporations — including AT&T, T-Mobile, United, Uber, and Comcast — have spent years touting their commitment to combating hunger in America.

Now these same corporations are publicly supporting a $300 BILLION CUT TO FOOD AID.
11 corporations that turned their backs on hungry families
Republicans are working furiously to pass a massive reconciliation bill through Congress.

Please highlight this story.

ICE stormed into the wrong house, trashed the place, and made women/girls stand outside in the rain in their underwear. ICE also stole phones, laptops, and cash savings from the family, who moved to OKC two weeks ago.

So Jealous! I wish MY constitution had those rights enshrined in it.
Elon Musk's fascism is American fascism.
Ronald Reagan supported apartheid.
South Africa has been a progressive democracy for 30 years. Abortion, trans and gay rights are enshrined in our constitution.
Your country elected Trump – and Reagan. Take responsibility for your country's choices.

This is a legit point I think about at least once a day now.
I don’t want a government where I need to track every single vote by every single lawmaker. This is madness. We elect these people to do a job so we can go about our lives. Instead, we are all becoming experts on all the shit we pay them to become experts on. 🤦🏻‍♀️😫

“We are the cradle of democracy and the city of champions. We are all of these things not in spite of our immigrants but because of them.”

We don't need politicians telling local law enforcement what to do. We welcome immigrants and exiles with open arms.

This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell.
