I’m assuming that any other nation with rampant illegal state kidnappings in public would probably already be seeing international sanctions by now.

Dozens of Democrats running for U.S. House seats across the country told Axios they either wouldn't vote for House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries as party leader or declined to commit to doing so.
Scoop: Dozens of Democratic House candidates won't commit to backing Hakeem Jeffries
"If there's a contingency of 10 to 12 of them and they're sticking together, I think it's going to really shake things up."

Janet Mills is now in the Maine Senate race.

I will NOT be supporting her in the primary

I am offended that a 77 years old thinks that’s a good idea.

I also have no patience for anyone who takes money from AIPAC.

It’s time for new blood.

Graham Platner is electrifying the people of Maine.

⁨The blatantly political videos being forced on airports across the country are not only an abuse of taxpayer dollars, but they violate the law.

I'm joining @SenBlumenthal and @SenJackReed to demand DHS take down these videos immediately.⁩

AOC: You're damn right that it's a Democratic priority to keep people from getting poisoned, from dangerous chemicals 

You're damn right that it's a Democratic priority to bring down the cost of housing

If they want to say that that's a Democratic priority, they're right,

Hey, if the federal government can illegally withhold funds from blue states, maybe blue states should stop funding the federal government, let’s see how fast it goes broke then.

ICE agents kidnapped a US citizen in Chicago because she didn’t “look” American to them. She even had her US passport on her. 🤬

The world has entered a new reality. Global heating will soon exceed 1.5°C, putting humanity in the danger zone where multiple climate tipping points pose catastrophic risks to billions of people.

#ClimateBreakdown is real, it’s happening now.

AOC: And they are able to radicalize a generation of young boys in particular, away from healthy masculinity and into an insecure masculinity that requires the domination of others who are poorer, browner, darker, or a different gender than them.

My son was 1 when leaders pledged to keep warming below 1.5C.

By his 11th birthday even 2C is dead.

I’m lost for words at the scale of this betrayal.

Ok let’s move on. I have nothing against individual reporters. I’m just very frustrated. Just know that a lot of your minority friends are hurting.

Can I just ask you to pretend for a second that you are a working class Hispanic US citizen & living in a Chicago area where ICE could brutally arrest you just because of your race. Or you’re this 60 yo black man with your birth certificate in your bag and detained anyway. My problem is I can relate

Ah I get it. I’m sorry for being the one against freedom of the press and the first amendment. I’m a black man with 2 black sons , maybe some things affect me differently than they affect others. Most of the media is owned by corporations or Billionaires who doesn’t give a F about real news. Wake up

Circular firing squad? The media is a big reason why we have Trump, the way they treated Biden, & to watch them now. & Democrats aren’t calling them out will be fatal to our cause. Have you watched how they asked questions to Trump and other Republicans? There are some exceptions of course.

I agree with you to some extent. I just wanted to make my point as forcefully as possible. To me, the systematic criminalization of people based on their skin color should have been a bigger story. My frustration is with the media still acting like everything is normal until they’re affected.

I only like one aspect in what Trump is doing right now. If we survive this, & a Democrat wins the Presidency, I want them to use the same energy MAGA is using right now to fix healthcare, Climate change, Wealth inequality, but specially Election Finance Reform. No more excuses now.

I do too to some extent. But you have countries like Turkey who flat out funded ISIS in Syria to defend their interests, Israel funded some groups as well. Typically the day after would leave the country like we did in Libya. But I’m glad that the young new leader is trying his best to keep unity.

We are fighting for true freedom. The freedom to live a life of dignity and joy.

A life of 80 hour work weeks, of constantly struggling to get by, being trapped in a shitty job by your health insurance — this is not freedom, and we are not free. But we could be. If we fight.
