I know the whole “every accusation is a confession” thing but it’s pretty clear this is the most elitist government that’s existed in decades. It’s just 12 billionaires in a group chat sharing banned Reddit memes

On this date, Matthew Shephard died 27 years ago. He was beaten, tortured, and left for dead on fence for being gay. Please keep him and his wonderful mother Judy in your thoughts. And let's all work for a world where such horrific things do not happen to anyone. ❤️🏳️‍🌈

Good for Australia, maybe they learned their lesson with Rupert, to bad the rest of the world didn't follow suit. Just imagine where we would be if Rupert Murdoch had been stopped in Australia. They are right to prevent this gas bag from entering, she's nothing but trouble.

🚨 The father of one of the returnees at Sheba Hospital told Channel 13 News, after refusing a meeting with Minister Katz:
“When we requested to meet with him over the past two years, he didn’t even respond to us. Now that my son has returned, he suddenly remembers and wants to meet.” 🎯

Wednesday 10/15 COTD Knight of Wands. Change is in the air and some of us may feel restless. Grounding crystals like black tourmaline and obsidian may come in handy.
Be careful in traffic and with any kind of travel. Give yourself extra time to get where you need to be.
Go with the flow.

We The People will pay for this down the line. What he is doing is murder and the world will eventually make us pay for this atrocity and it should make us pay. Unfortunately, those that put this dictator in office won't suffer for a second, their money keeps them safe for now.

This video of a 15 year old girl being violently detained by ICE made the rounds on Friday.

Many people, including DHS, tried to claim it wasn’t recent. It wasn’t ICE. She was a violent criminal.

Illinois Congressman Raja Krishnamoorthi is demanding accountability.

I hope he gets it for her.

President Trump is meeting with the President of Argentina instead of meeting with Congressional leaders to end the shutdown and prevent health care premiums from skyrocketing.

$20 billion for Argentina, but no $ for Americans' health care?

California, this November 4th, the whole country is counting on you.

Prop 50 puts our elections back on a level playing field, preserves independent redistricting over the long term, and lets the people decide.

So return your ballot today. Vote yes on 50.
