They have tried everything they can think of to distract us and prevent the truth from coming out — posting racist memes and even shutting down the House. But we will not stop until all involved are held accountable and the survivors get justice.

I hate how many of my fellow Americans show no care for how fellow human beings are treated. The GOP sucks, as does Trump.
The government says the people being deported are violent criminals, and they treat them inhumanely. But mostly they are subjecting ordinary people to extraordinary punishments.

She is so right.
Crockett: "The US is falling apart, partially bc he's allowing for killings in the street, but also bc we have a 34 count convicted felon being shielded from any type of accountability as it relates to a child sex trafficking ring. I don't understand why we're pretending any of this is normal."

I see no lies here.
U.K. might lose a prime minister because a guy who worked for him knew another guy who hung out with Epstein. Meanwhile the U.S. opposition party is telling our President, who was Epstein's best friend, that his secret police should get better training so their public street murders look less messy.

Remember all the stories after 2016 election about "economic anxiety"?
The Trump Administration wants us to think of Trump's racism as a character flaw grandpa sometimes sadly lets express itself too aggressively, when the reality is that the white nationalism is the governing, organizing logic of his administration that all Republicans are complicit with.

This will be a fully armed Brooks Brothers riot (which by the way included such non-partisans as Brett Kavanaugh and John Roberts in important roles). Democrats, start taking steps to squelch this now! @schumer.senate.gov @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social
We are NOT NEARLY concerned enough!

Seriously, put this on blast - people need to understand what's going to be unleashed in November.
Here's @rickhasen.bsky.social detailing the scenario in which Trump uses search warrant to seize ballot boxes in a contested 2026 locale. This is more worrisome than ICE at the polls. Hasen also suggests ways to act against this now.

It's harrowing stuff:

I am shocked, shocked, to see Democratic leadership caving to Trump. @slotkin.senate.gov @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social @schumer.senate.gov @peters.senate.gov DEMOCRATS, fight this abominable GOP! Do not cave in every f'ing time!
Whenever there's some danger of the people having some say in how their country is governed, Useless and Double-Useless rise up and, wielding their magic blades named AlwaysCave and NeverWin, destroy that danger. They are the superheroes of failure.

True statement. Also, those who voted for him have a lot of work ahead to make reparations for their action.

We have a 3 year old for a president. He needs to go ASAP. He should be impeached today.
The president constantly lying about stolen elections, after staging a coup attempt, & now threatening to federalize & steal future elections, should be the primary news story in the country 24/7 & on every front page until he is impeached & removed next week.

This is an insightful overview of the anti-Semitism now coursing through the New Right and the opportunism that powers it. Blame the Jews is currency that never fails to spend with shitheels and angry rubes, and well, they're the elemental audience for that political movement.

Fully expect a DOJ indictment for disrupting church services to come down imminently
A community is devastated after ICE raids an LA church and arrests a congregant during a church event.

This is important to pay attention to. Trump's saying the quiet part of the plan out loud. With the midterms increasingly looking like a bloodbath for the GOP, he's calling on the Republicans to take over the election. This is what an attempt to end democracy looks like. Read @ariberman.bsky.social
Trump goes public with plan to "take over" elections
After the FBI seized 700 boxes of ballots in Georgia, the president calls on Republicans to assert control over voting "in at least 15 places.”
