Are you about to make the same mistake Hubert Humphrey and Mayor Daley and the Democratic establishment did at the 1968 Democratic Convention?

Rein in your pigs

literally no need for this

the protesters were just standing there, not causing any problems. then here come the police, causing problems.

I need @govpritzker.illinois.gov to tell these goons to go home. And if he can't or won't do so, I need to know that, too.

State troopers in riot gear just plowed into the crowd, started arresting protesters and clergy.

They didn’t need to. They chose to.
Had turnout been similar to 2020, Harris would be President, Jeffries would be Speaker, and Casey would’ve likely kept his Senate seat.
With the presidency, House, and a 52-48 GOP majority Senate, all the BS could’ve been prevented.
This is on non-voters & MAGATs.

over the years my Spanish speaking clients have taught me some deadly insults that aren't really even cuss words, like "sinverguenza"

you can translate it as "shameless" but it seems to convey so much more when they say it

Hi, I'm the ProPublica reporter who's been tracking an unusual stat: U.S. citizens grabbed by immigration agents.

I did it because the government isn’t.

This is what I found.

White words on a black background read:

50+
Immigration agents have the authority to detain whom they reasonably suspect are in the country illegally. We found more than 50 Americans who were held after agents questioned their citizenship. They were almost all Latino.

~130
Agents also can arrest citizens who allegedly interfered with or assaulted officers. We compiled cases of about 130 Americans, including a dozen elected officials, accused of assaulting or impeding officers.

~20
Among the citizens detained are nearly 20 children, including two with cancer.

It’s painfully clear. By refusing to swear in Adelita Grijalva, Speaker Johnson’s covering up Jeffrey Epstein’s global sex-trafficking ring.

Hey GOP: Bring back the House, cancel your health care cuts, reopen the government and release the files.

Imagine being the largest newspaper in Washington, DC with the motto "Democracy Dies in Darkness" and thinking to publish this today.

You might think WaPo editors would look out the window and realize something more important is happening. But perhaps democracy already died over there.

What a great way to kick off my birthday at the #NoKings protest in Las Cruces, NM! The biggest crowd yet and such “joyful warrior” spirit! It’s so easy to get down these days and these rallies are such an emotional lift!

Thank you to the organizers of today's wildly successful (and peaceful) "No Kings" rallies. You did an amazing job. And thanks to all the millions of people who showed up to give us faith. And a special shout out to the White House regime and the Speaker of the House for all the free publicity!
