I grew up in a small South Texas town. I’d left Texas 3x (Mex, twice & Indiana) before moving to Chicago at 23, newlywed & with only what could fit into our car. Talk about culture shock! I’d never been around so many diverse people. I wouldn’t trade those memories for anything. Thanks Chicago! I💙U

Isn’t the 1990’s the part where George HW Bush(R) broke it and Bill Clinton(D) fixed it? Scott Bessent is only a few years older than I am, pretty sure he remembers the 90’s, too. Then again, shameless disregard for historical facts and accuracy is wholly a Republican thing.

They probably have Jesus in a detention facility somewhere. In which case, definitely go find him before he’s deported.

These are not “the worst of the worst.” They are everyday working people. DHS, ICE, CBP, ERO, cowards! Every single one. Show me videos of them arresting gang bangers, drug traffickers, human traffickers, murders, rapists. You can’t because those aren’t the people they’re looking for.

@bryanandrewsmusic.bsky.social, thank you so much for your words. It’s time for real Christians to speak some real truths about what a lot people are trying to pass off as Christianity. Christian nationalism is not a Christ centered ideology. It is about power, control, cruelty, racism, & bigotry.

Wait. I thought this guy was our president. Why does he always go around bashing our nation & everything about our country? He praises authoritarian regimes & dictators, but trashes US governors who uphold the constitution. He weakens us globally every time he opens his mouth. He needs to STFU!

It’s because they don’t really listen to any of it. They don’t listen to the lyrics. All they care about is being edgy. Just like when they play CCR’s Fortunate Son at their “political” rallies without understanding its meaning.

It’s great when racists and bigots self-identify saving the rest of us the work of rooting them out. There is no qualified immunity in the real world.

Why were they chasing that guy in the first place? Existing?

Sometimes I’m convinced that trump thinks he wasn’t president anymore after his loss on election night just because he’s so petty and refuses to take responsibility for anything that happened during his first term. He refuses to take responsibility for bad outcomes happening now!

Jake Tapper wouldn’t know a journalist even if he looked in a mirror. Better to appeal to journalists that aren’t afraid to ask real questions and call out liars. Jake’s not the one to do that.

I don’t understand why they are so afraid of him. What is he going to do? Call them mean names? Uninvite them to cover him? Tell the truth. Make him tell the truth. Ask him tough questions. Push back. He can’t take you all down. Besides, independent media is where it’s at.

Interesting that EVERYONE is lying, but not her. Pretty sure we can believe the evidence of our eyes on this one. Noem’s a lying performative hag.

Somebody, somewhere gave them a participation trophy and made them believe their uniformed, uneducated opinions were valid simply because they showed up. Just like that demented orange fool complaining he didn’t get an award he never earned and doesn’t deserve.
