Worse than useless. Jeffries needs to go.
House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) on Thursday said House Democrats will demand a ban on the deportation of American citizens as a condition of winning their support for legislation funding the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).

Does it apply to women who use the men's room at bars because the line to the women's is too long?

Prosecution and imprisonment is insufficient for BOTH the regime AND sympathizers. They must be (insert stuff and we all know the stuff).

All of this is the real reason we never adopted the Rome Statute too, by the way.
Republicans have wanted to kill the left (and have) for over 100 years.
An international chance that they might be held accountable for it? They couldn’t risk it.

There is something very specific you should do if you see anyone doing this to a child, uniformed or not.
Every single one of the bastards responsible for this should be prosecuted and imprisoned. Nothing less will suffice.

I'm not voting for Democrats in 2026 without significant policy shifts. They need to lose this midterm election for their feckless fuckery.
🚨NEWS: Senate Dems are reportedly offering ICE funding increases in exchange for body cams and de-escalation training for agents.
Body cams can be turned off. De-escalation training can be ignored.
Unclear if no masks, requiring ID badges, and no immunity is on the table.

I voted for Kamala in 2024 because I believed two things: (1) I believed that she was hiding certain preferences because polling told her to do so (punishing Israel, healthcare reform etc); (2) I believed (know) that defeating Trump again would have forced a deep change in the GOP. /1

"State Capitalism" has another word, btw
From Intel to Nvidia, here are the companies into which Trump is funneling billions of taxpayer dollars. And the list is only likely to grow in the coming months.

The correct response against masked, unidentified child kidnappers is not only to record-- it is to use the 'Stand Your Ground' laws.

Republicans somehow managed to sprint from “we’re trying to protect women in sports” straight to defending a woman being shot in the head three times at point blank range for trying to drive away from a masked thug.

Why do you need "absolute immunity" if you didn't do anything wrong/acted in self-defense?
Hint: that's an admission of wrongdoing. Fucking morons.

To be clear: @zackrawrr.bsky.social killed his mother intentionally. He left her in poverty while he sat on millions and by all appearances: did nothing to help her.
While he talks about 'ICE defending themselves' maybe we should remember that.

“Dominant predator force” is certainly a choice of words
Ogles: "It's important that we have a stake in Greenland, that they are quite frankly a protectorate of the US. They've been in relationship with Denmark - that needs to end. We've spilled more blood protecting Greenland than the Danes... we are the dominant predator force in the Western Hemisphere"

Somehow slavery, pro-slavery Court rulings, massacres of Black/brown/queer people, indigenous genocide (and the list is endless) get left out of the “most shameful” top spots.
