15-year old Hadiya Pendleton was shot and killed 13 years ago today in a Chicago park. We owe Hadiya and her family nothing less than a country where all Americans are free from gun violence.

Marco Rubio has many titles, except when it’s time to take accountability. He may be the Secretary of State, but Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner are negotiating with foreign leaders behind his back. When did the Senate confirm them as our representatives on the world stage?

Hochul: The whole crew has to go. It’s a joke, so they should clean house, kick their asses out of town, say “we’re starting over,” and stop militarizing our streets with people who have literally days or weeks of training

Make no mistake: The thousands of new recruits to ICE, driven by a $100 million “wartime recruitment” push, were selected with violence in mind. From @milleridriss.bsky.social:
How Misogyny and White Nationalism Converge in ICE Enforcement

For as much as MAGA is rooted in racism, I don't think enough has been made about how it's equally rooted in misogyny. I'm a lot of fun.

I love that their reason for not giving the names of the *videotaped murderers* from ICE is that is "doxing". But making people "famous" for exercising the right of peaceful protest isn't. Cool cool cool.

For any elected official who needs to hear this, I impart a lesson learned from the NFL:
When the other team is tired and on the back foot, you don’t call a timeout so they can catch their breath. You grind their fucking face into the dirt until the final whistle blows and you’ve won the game.
