The tRump Regime's utter failure in immigration policy is on full display as they use performative theater to terrorize innocent neighborhoods while arresting few to no gang members or criminals.

Why is it so hard for MAGA to understand that we are NOT scared when you threaten Bill Clinton with jail. If he fooled with kids, lock him up.
It's not complicated.
Just because you're in a hero-worshipping cult, it doesn't mean the rest of us are.

This is a blatant attack on the humanities and social sciences. Everything is about race and gender (and more). How could you teach American history without mentioning the race of slaves? How could you teach Shakespeare without talking gender roles? Fascist idiots.

This is so so disturbing. Trump is now pardoning January 6th rioters for unrelated crimes, just to reward them for their violence to keep him in power.
The Republican Party is in the full time business of endorsing and incentivizing political violence. So scary.

When a corporation can pay $96 million to its CEO for just four months of work, it can afford to pay its workers a living wage and decent benefits.

A 14 year old having to tell Megyn R Kelly that a 15 year old is a child (by law) is an indicator that Megyn R Kelly is as dumb as the person she’s protecting and that her brain stopped developing before she turned 18.
