Reporter: Latino immigrants in Memphis who are legal residents are afraid to go to work

Gov. Bill Lee (dodges question): “If they’re not a criminal element, then they shouldn’t be afraid.”

As tone deaf as it gets when Trump’s ICE goons are assaulting legal residents & citizens

They are always looking for someone (preferably a POC) to blame. What about our representatives that are on their third week of vacation? How many days have they actually been in session? 🤔

My 9 year old nephew put together this ‘mock up’ US Election ballot.

Sure it’s not perfect, but I give him an A++

Q: We've seen images out of Chicago of federal agents shooting faith leaders with pepper balls and arresting journalists. Where's the limit for you on what's acceptable conduct by federal agents?

In which comedian John Oliver does the fact checking journalism you and Caitlyn Flanagan refuse to do and systematically dismantles the imbecilic grift that is Bari Weiss.
Call it a ratio if you like. But it uses Weiss's own words.

What did Tom Homan do with the $50K he took in a CAVA bag from undercover FBI agents?

Just keep asking this everyday. Its a big scandal they can't escape because Pam Bondi and her DOJ killed the investigation. They're cornered on this and the Epstein Files.

“No Kings means no paychecks?” Scott, that’s not how government works; that’s how feudalism works. You’re literally arguing for the system we escaped in 1776.
No kings means exactly what America stands for— we don’t serve monarchs or dictators. The people are the power, not one man or family.

UT Austin has one of the most valuable Black Studies departments anywhere in the world. This is a grotesque betrayal of the very idea of a university.

Deborah McDowell @dem8z.bsky.social · 1d

PLEASE SPREAD THE WORD!!

The University of Texas-Austin is beginning a process to eliminate the Black Studies, Latino Studies, and Gender Studies departments in the College of Liberal Arts. This is a grave threat to the educational liberty of students, faculty, staff, and the people of Texas. 1/

one thing perhaps worth emphasizing is that under federal law an escaped enslaved person was a criminal. an "illegal," you might say.
