For various reasons I think this one will be longer standing but this is also 100% true.

There were at least two ceasefires under Biden! In which more than five times as many living Israeli hostages were released in exchange for 240 Palestinians! Has everyone forgotten this?

Coffee Indiana @coffeeindiana.bsky.social · 4d

Also, ceasefires have happened under prior Presidents! The day he gets Palestine their own country he can be told he's the most special boy deserving of a shiny prize.

China is doing an absolutely FANTASTIC job of baiting that asshole into economic Hari-Kari.

Every time they do something that hurts our economy, TACO reacts by doing something that actually hurts us TEN TIMES more.

It’s crazy!

We're passed show us your papers. People have shown them Real ID's, valid Visas, Passports, and other documents to show their legal status, only to be accused of having fakes, then arrested anyways.

Serious question: What's stopping the State of Illinois from arresting Stephen Miller & charging him with incitement?

The Senate didn't confirm him. He's just a guy.

At some point, the states MUST use their authority to prosecute, because the federal government certainly will not.

In a sane country with competent leadership, the 50 highest-ranking Democrats would call a press conference to denounce what just happened as a threat to the republic and demand Trump's immediate impeachment and removal from office.

I don't know he could make his intentions more clear.

‘Member that time when Dems voted to pass the CR to prevent a shutdown thinking it would stop Trump, Musk’s DOGE and some dude named “Big Balls” from ripping apart our federal agencies and firing government employees.

They did it anyway…

And stoled our data and Medicaid.

One thing I've learned from the Internet is that a lie needs 0% proof to be believed, but the truth requires thousands of pages of proof and still won't be believed.

95 democrats, including @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social voted to "honor" the life of charlie kirk, who called for joe biden to be killed and said black women like justice ketanji brown jackson are unqualified affirmative action hires.

shame.

I truly don't understand how democratic leadership think they are going to move forward after voting to honor a white nationalist who essentially called Black women—the base of the party—stupid.

It's insulting. I find it personally insulting.

Reminder: The FIRST Amendment of the U.S. Constitution was specifically enacted to prohibit the U.S. GOVERNMENT (not private entities) from attacking the People. ALL attempts to muzzle commentary about the salesman of hate recently murdered are a violation of YOUR rights as granted to YOU.

I am so shocked by the quantity of comments and social media posts by the right glorifying a racist Christian white nationalist who spread hatred over and over because he died from gun violence while he always said we must accept some death each year to keep the 2nd amendment.

Bingo! I believe this is the driving force behind most of the right wing bullshit spewers. Sold their souls for profit. Probably join them if I didn’t have a soul.

There's very good money in being a right-wing hate monger.

We really need to be pointing that out a lot more. It's a path to wealth for quite a few people on both sides of the Atlantic in the age of politainment.

The real issue isn’t left vs right.

It’s not white vs black.

It’s not citizen vs immigrant.

It’s not gay vs straight.

The real issue is that a lot of powerful people have a vested interest — and a lot of money invested — in dividing us, and it’s working.

Notice how not a SINGLE CLIP of Charlie Kirk is being shown on TV as the news organizations try to eulogize him kindly. Even Fox News. You cannot show a SINGLE THING he ever said that wasnt spewing HATE and violence.

What a legacy.

🧵This was the ruling of the US Supreme Court shortly after the Civil War in Ex parte Milligan, 71 U.S. 2 (1866) which yet stands to this day.

One of the most important legal reminders for Kilmar Abrego Garcia & Trump's denial of justice to everyone like him.
