MAGA Nazis engage in a staggering amount of gaslighting and distributing false information, then blaming Democrats for precisely what MAGA Nazis are doing.

21 years ago we had stillborn twins. It still hurts. I cannot express in words the loathing I feel about these men. To suggest people would cash in on such excruciating loss says everything you need to know about these “moral conservatives.” Arseholes. www.smh.com.au/politics/fed...

Aus is supposed to be a country where the rule of law & natural justice applies. The Gov’s sneaky attempt to strip welfare from people before they’ve been convicted of any crime is a fundamental breach of these principles. We may as well dissolve the court system. #auspol #politas

Looks like the remarkable era of great, brave, relevant writing at #TeenVogue is over. Those women made stand-out journalism at a time it was desperately needed. Sadly it still is. You'll be missed.
I was laid off from Teen Vogue this week, alongside multiple other phenomenal team members.

At our Summit, I was asked how it felt to be 1 of 2 Black women left and what that meant for representation. Now, there are no Black women at Teen Vogue and that is incredibly painful to think about.

Share this video. Every American needs to see it.

Trump's masked forces seize this blind US citizen, Quinn Haberl & brutalize him. Then they called this guy who was simply dancing outside their facility, a rioter. The Trump administration is corrupt & violent.
Tell everyone:
Vote blue this Nov. 4🧵

NEW: Footage of a US citizen in Chicago being rammed then dragged from her car on her way to work.

Abducted, with no warrant, her family couldn’t find her for hours.

She was later released with NO CHARGE.

A DHS statement said she “violently resisted arrest, injuring two officers”.

You decide…

When governments viciously prosecute people who tell the truth they scream the truth about themselves.

Israel’s pursuit of a senior IDF lawyer over the leaking of the horrific torture video of Palestinian prisoners tells that truth.
