I'm against the death penalty and against jail for life.

It's barbaric.

No state or federation of states, king or dictator, or judge or jury should kill a human being.

Robinson's words: "some hate can’t be negotiated out".
Unfortunately, Tyler Robinson reacted in the only way he was taught.

I love this woman. ✊✊ But it's infuriating and brings me to tears that she has to stand up for herself against these brown shirt thugs like this. Fuck them. This woman has more strength than all those bitch men combined. ✊🙏💜

She gets all the flowers. I mean ALL of them. If we see her, we immediately have to give her flowers.

I am sounding the alarm that the GOP is engaged in an all out attack voting rights and free and fair elections. Voter suppression, gerrymandering, and troops in blue cities are just some of the ways they are using to try to rig the rules to keep power in 2026 and beyond.

Pay attention and act!

Americans have gotten more than $21 billion back in their bank accounts after being cheated and scammed by big corporations, thanks to the CFPB.

But Trump and his Administration love grifters and scammers.

So they're trying to kill the agency holding them accountable.

Very straightforwardly detained by secret police for speech. I honestly don't know what establishment figures are telling themselves any more to avoid cognitive dissonance over this shit.

ICE arrested comedian Robby Roadsteamer for singing a parody of Rod Stewart’s “Do Ya Think I’m Sexy” in a Jeffrey Epstein the Giraffe costume outside their facility.

He sings “If you hate brown people / and you are a Nazi” and ICE thugs grab him and drag him into detention. No violence—just speech.

ABOLISH ICE and EXPAND THE SUPREME COURT should be mainstream Democratic promises and talking points.

But timidity and civility will rule the day and screw the rest of us and this country in the end.

AOC: The problem is that the Trump administration, they think that destroying our health care, making sure that housing is too expensive to live in, that jacking up the cost of our groceries—they think all of this is about hurting Democrats. What they are doing is hurting Americans

Mike Johnson called us back from July 4 recess on 7/3 so he could gut Americans’ healthcare in the Big Ugly bill. Since then, he has only had the House in session for 19 of the subsequent 104 days. That’s how we ended up here.

Hey can I get a quick check-in from all the "I Voted For This" MAGAs on flushing $40 billion of taxpayer money down the toilet to bail out Argentina for some reason? Can you explain your reasoning in demanding tens of billions of dollars of our cash go to a country we have very little to do with?
