ICE fired shots again, hitting a civilian and a U.S. marshal. DHS, once again, is claiming the man rammed ICE with his car. Let’s see how long before that version of events unravels. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

The government has killed 32 people in 7 strikes with no evidence they were traffickers. The admiral leading the mission quit. If we had proof, they’d face a court, not a drone.

The law still applies, even to suspected drug traffickers, and right now, the Administration’s story isn’t adding up.

For all our flaws, people still show up for each other.
A stranger holds a door. A neighbour checks in.
Someone somewhere chooses kindness when it would be easier not to.

We are small, but not insignificant.
Each act of decency ripples farther than we’ll ever see.

The pattern of "religious" men abusing children is real and documented. It's infuriating that LGBTQ+ people bear the brunt of moral panic rhetoric while the actual harm to children is coming from the very people doing the loudest screaming about "protecting" them. #NotADragQueen

That’s not how I expected the second half of this headline to go. “Part of White House Reduced to Rubble” should be followed by “What the Fuck.”

It's very interesting how Prince Andrew has gone to such great lengths when it comes to doing everything a guilty person would do, in order to prove his innocence.

New developments in my 3 year Epstein investigation, this time regarding JP Morgan Chase and its CEO, Jamie Dimon. This is a long thread, but worth sticking around for.

“All my friends murdered and raped, sometimes they hung out at my house. Get over yourself.”

RFK Jr. explains why socializing with Jeffrey Epstein wasn't such a big deal for him:

-- O.J. Simpson came to my house. Bill Cosby came to my house."

How much time do you spend fighting for our democracy online?

Would you consider taking some of that time & volunteering to contact voters for Prop 50?

I guarantee it makes a difference & it's very empowering.

Consider calling voters. It's +something you can do from anywhere.

We need you!
