Holy shit. This is Angelo Elia, a legislative correspondent for Congressman Dave Taylor.

He was at a wedding where they ritualistically stabbed pictures of a 4 year old palestinian boy that was murdered. he represented the murderer for free. Will not stop being pissed that he was removed from sanctions

Real wages rising for the exact demographics people say they want looked after, and then saying Democrats/liberals abandoned them, is one of the more disconcerting social media trends (on the left) of the last few years.

“the constitution forbids race conscious remedies” would be news to the people who wrote the 13th, 14th and 15th amendments

Griem goes there, arguing in response to Justice Jackson that there can be no race-conscious remedy absent a finding of intentional discrimination.

i can almost respect that trump doesnt waste your time pretending to be a good person. its an endearing quality. the phony sanctimony and desperate need to feel like a good guy of most of these shit bags around him is really excruciating

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.
