When ICE agents questioned a group of 11- to 14-year-olds who’d just finished batting practice, their coach, Youman Wilder, stepped in. “I’m willing to die to make sure these kids can get home,” he recounted afterward.

Hotline callers were saying, “I do not want to be part of pointing a gun at US citizens and maybe shooting it.”
Is the US military poised to experience a new surge in conscientious objectors?

Interesting to see supposed climate change activist Leonardo DiCaprio at Bezos' vulgar wedding.

Worth remembering stuff like that when we are expected to take celebrities and their causes seriously. It's only ever about optics.

This has always been the GOP's strategy:

1) Cut taxes for the wealthy & corporations by claiming they'll pay for themselves.

2) Explode deficits

3) Use the debt as an excuse to demand cuts to vital programs that help millions.

4) Repeat.

Of course it happened in Coeur d'Alene.
They're investigating if the fire was intentionally set to lure firefighters to the area to ambush them. I can bet you w a 99.9 percent certainty that it wasn't AntiFa who did this.

We now have a concentration camp in Florida.

Stop pretending any of this is normal.

If you claim to be a good person and you're not outwardly opposing this regime, you're not a good person.

I just don't understand this. George W Bush, Barack Obama, and Bono just recorded videos commending the staff of USAID for their work and lamenting the agency's destruction...

And those videos were not released to the public.
