This is MAGA. They destroy families. They have no interest in protecting children.

They deport people to their death.

And they do it while laughing.

It is possible to hold both of these things true at the same time:

1) political violence is never an appropriate choice in a civilized society

2) Charlie Kirk’s dream is to create exactly the kind of society he currently lives in, as spoken from his own mouth

Despite explosive growth turning Tarrant into a racially diverse swing county, two new political maps will leave it with whiter, more Republican representation.

We need change in Texas. I'm still learning about Bobby Cole, but he's certainly a step up from Greg Abbott.

Let's see what Bobby has to say, and let's vote for change!
My name is Bobby Cole and I'm running to be the next governor of the state of Texas. Who am I? In the words of Greg Abbott: FAFO.

Pete Hegseth is now threatening to send the Marines into Los Angeles.

Make no mistake: this is a declaration of war against the United States.

The take down of the racist Jake Lang here is impressive.
Incredible moment in Frisco: Austin Metcalf’s dad just called the organizers of the Protect White People rally to say they’re “part of the fucking problem” and to stop using photos of his kid. They responded by blaming his “white guilt” for “thousands more Austin Metcalfs.”

It's beyond surreal that we're actually here.
The Trump admin argues it can deport anyone - even by mistake - and isn’t responsible once deportees are out of U.S. custody.

Last month, Rubio said El Salvador agreed to take deportees of any nationality, 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗻 𝗨.𝗦. 𝗰𝗶𝘁𝗶𝘇𝗲𝗻𝘀.

Dear Manager,

Today, the time to hesitate is through.
Today, there is no time to wallow in the mire.
Today, we can only lose.
Today, our love become a funeral pyre.

Today, we try to set the night on fiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiire.
Dear Manager,

I shot the sheriff
I did not shoot the deputy
Dear Manager:

3. I shot my woman down
4. I went right home and I went to bed
