Dear media,
1/ ICE consistently lies about its violence toward people in Chicago, with its initial accounts later disproven.
2/ When protesters shout at ICE agents to get out of their neighborhood and ICE tear-gasses them and throws them to the ground, that's not a "clash" – that's ICE violence.

They found the rifle used to assassinate Charlie Kirk wrapped in a towel in the woods...
But he clearly had no rifle with him when he jumped off the building... can someone explain that to me...

Simple! He pointed his finger and shouted "Pew"

Whoa, why are Republicans bailing out Argentina to the tune of $40,000,000,000.00 when American farmers are being crushed by the economic policies of Trump and Republicans?

House Agriculture Committee Democrats @houseagdems.bsky.social · 2h

We just heard that Republicans want to give Argentina $40 billion in American taxpayer dollars, instead of the original $20 billion.

They're leaving family farmers in the dust and it's egregious.

Now that Trump has delegated his preposterous politicking for a Nobel Peace Prize to sycophants, he can finally get around to declaring unilateral war on Venezuela, a war crime, as he murders Colombian civilians at sea, another war crime, and endorses collective punishment in Gaza, another war crime

God doesn’t need any “saving” by the like of you, Eric.

Tweet by Aaron Rupar showing a quote from Eric Trump on “The Benny Show.” Eric Trump says: “We’re saving Christianity. We’ve saving God. We’ve saving the family unit. We’re saving this nation... You no longer have Colin Kaepernick kneeling for the national anthem. You no longer have Budweiser going woke as hell... We have a return to people going to church.” Below is a screenshot from the show with Benny Johnson and Eric Trump speaking side by side.

Mike Johnson is enabling a hostile takeover of the US govt by a criminal enterprise of white supremacists, Christian nationalists, and techno-fascist billionaires who aim to replace democracy with a dictatorship led by Epstein’s closest coconspirator.

For the love of America, we must protest this.

No Kings

As the president escalates his authoritarian power grab, the NO KINGS non-violent movement continues to rise stronger. We are united once again to remind the world: America has No Kings and the power ...

When college kids publicly say "Israel's war on Gaza is bad" that is full-blown anti-Semitism that requires the federal government to crack down on all colleges.

When Young Republicans in their 20s and 30s privately praise Hitler and "joke" about the Holocaust, well, that's just freedom baby.

Hey American farmers, Trump just doubled Argentina's bailout from $20 billion to $40 billion.

That's the same Argentina that, because of Trump's tariffs, has now supplanted ALL of America's soybean sales to China.

Trump sold you out – then gave the guy who benefited an extra $40 billion gift.

ICE agents interfered with—and even threatened to “shoot and arrest”—emergency personnel rescuing an injured protester last week in Portland.

The agent “pointed his finger at me in a threatening manner,” the driver recalled, “and began viciously yelling in my face.
