Joe Biden had shit running out of his ears for the past half a decade and historically has wanted Israel to commit to nothing but bloodshed so if you believe he wanted peace I have a bridge to sell you

Serious question, when did you find out a sexuality other than heterosexual existed?

Media, year, situation is what I'm getting at.

I'm so genuinely curious about this

Damn, I gotta step my game up, I only got a short hitpiece a couple weeks ago, didn’t even make it to the final roster. Hopefully I’ll get picked up on the waiver wire.

This is some of the best political news I've seen in a very long time.

There's a clear a way to end the Citizens United precedent by changing state incorporation laws - and now luminaries in both parties are forcing a vote on it in the 2026 election.

Kamala’s behavior at some of these events has become embarrassing. If you’re out here justifying this, shame on you.

ICE in Chicago detained two people (that we know of) for filming them today, a cyclist and a neighborhood rapid responder. This in addition to tear gassing another neighborhood and brandishing weapons at rapid response—both things that have also already been going on for weeks.

POLICE: “If you aren’t out by six o’clock, you will be under arrest.”

POLICE, before six o’clock: “Six isn’t a magic number. Since there’s no way you’ll be gone by curfew, we will grab you here and now.”

Quick update on what we just saw here—*before curfew*, ISP troopers, Broadview PD and CCSO deputies began menacing demonstrators outside the ICE facility. Several arrests.

Pepper ball guns at the ready, a bit of a standoff going with remaining protesters. All people are doing is playing music.

We also vouch for this comrade. They’ve provided an immeasurable but incredible impact on our work, and you should support this fund to protect them from eviction.

A good friend on the West Coast has been going through some health issues and needs rent assistance this upcoming month. If you can spare a few bucks, it would help out a whole lot. (I personally vouch for this fundraiser and would really appreciate a boost.)

Good time to remind everyone that Barack Obama had won the Nobel Peace Prize in 2009 and went on to bomb 7 Muslim majority countries.

I may not have much love for Elizabeth Warren, but she’s right.
It’s incomprehensible that Trump shuts down our government while protecting and propping up another.
