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.

Jeffries: "If Donald Trump can find $20b to bail out his right-wing dictator friend in Argentina, it's extraordinary to me that Republicans are unwilling to even have a discussion about how we address the healthcare crisis that they've created."

If we don’t speak up for the communities that Trump is terrorizing right now, we will be next.

His authoritarianism will come for all of us in the end. https://youtu.be/tkaBlgXR8tY?si=bJcUxXZWMrae4kwx

NEW: Pentagon officials are forcing staff to watch Pete Hegseth's "Warrior" speech he forced generals to listen to.

Officials are even "testing" staff to see if they watched — and are threatening consequences if they lie about watching it or if they mock it, sources tell @swin24.bsky.social and I.

The Pentagon Is Ordering Staff to Watch Hegseth’s ‘MAGA Garbage’ Speech… Or Else

Defense Department sources tell Zeteo that staff have been warned that if they don’t watch or read the speech, or if they speak negatively of it, they could face severe consequences.

Two dozen masked ICE Federal Secret Police, who are kitted out like they are going to war, kidnap a local and brutalize the community.

Toward the end of the video, they throw a gas cannister that almost hits a baby. 😟

If men with guns and masks tried to pull me out of my car, I'd fight back. Courts should reject any claims by the government that this is aggression by the person being detained, resisting arrest, or that they're a flight risk.

Climate change isn't just about melting icebergs. It's also about higher costs for homeowners' insurance.

Renters and homeowners from Rhode Island to North Carolina and beyond know this. Thanks to @whitehouse.senate.gov for visiting NC to talk about the cost of climate change.

Meloni is one of the most loyal of Trump’s servants in the EU.

Italy is saved only by the separation of powers between her and the president of the Italian Republic, Sergio Mattarella.
