All you had to do was listen to that disgusting, racist, crazy zealot talk from young white folks in Idaho to know there was an even sicker underbelly than we see going on on the right.

POLITICO: “.. They referred to Black people as monkeys and ‘the watermelon people’ and mused about putting their political opponents in gas chambers. They talked about raping their enemies .. and lauded Republicans who they believed support slavery.

It took 6 ICE vehicles and a cop car to abuse a child like that?? Disgusting.

You're right so how could I not agree? 👍🏼😁

There's a reason she disabled replies. She knows she's wrong but doesn't want to be called out. Her post really is straight up revisionist bullshit but for some odd reason she always sides with leftists over the truth.

It's like she thinks "genocide joe" and "killer kamala" wasn't a favorite chant for leftists at their pro-ham (yes, I meant to write that) rallies.

Right. And how disengenious of her to say that PLUS disable comments lol

She does some great work, but she also really misses the mark sometimes because of her blindspot for leftists.

Didn't the right have a damn breakdown when Biden's admin wanted Facebook to remove disinfo about Covid, I think it was? And didn't Zuckerberg cry long and loud about it?

I'm sorry, is the Trump Administration talking to a tech platform?

Is it...requesting content moderation?

Today following outreach from @thejusticedept, Facebook removed a large group page that was being used to dox and target @ICEgov agents in Chicago.
The wave of violence against ICE has been driven by online apps and social media campaigns designed to put ICE officers at risk just for doing their jobs. The Department of Justice will continue engaging tech companies to eliminate platforms where radicals can incite imminent violence against federal law enforcement.

"Very sharp decline in the growth of the labor force" is not a good thing and it's not due to his immigration fiasco. It's due to his shitty economic policies. He probably thought he was slick by putting that statement after describing trump's immigration policy as strong.

Just stop making this shit up. What's happening is white women are outing themselves as racists. There's no fucking "winning over" necessary. Looking at the fucking voter data by demographic has been a fucking tell for years. Dafuk...

Another shit rag for my list.

Q: We've seen images out of Chicago of federal agents shooting faith leaders with pepper balls and arresting journalists. Where's the limit for you on what's acceptable conduct by federal agents?

Why Ohio GOP hasn't produced a congressional redistricting map yet

Ohio Republicans have yet to share a proposed congressional map with the public as the second deadline to pass a bipartisan map approaches. Why? They say they want to hear from citizens first.

🚨 WARNING: One of these "official" Janet Mills accounts appears to be a fake? @support.bsky.team

"JanetMills4ME"

"JanetMillsForME"

One includes a link to her fundraising page afterwards...the other has an odd message stating that "other candidates can't win" which seems out of character for her.
