When violence strikes, it doesn’t always distinguish between the innocent and those devoted to spreading their faith
I saw the list first and thought this was about what Israel is destroying in Gaza, i.e. the buildings that make up civilization. Then I saw the last two items🙁
What’s the threat if she won’t resign? ‘Fine, we’ll punish people for getting vaccinated’? Oh wait—better not say that too loud, ’cause they’re crazy enough to do that.
📌This is what a hero looks like. This is Dr. Susan Monarez, who just announced she WILL NOT resign her post as C.D.C. Director underneath the anti-vax monster, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. She is standing up for the health and well-being of hundreds of millions of Americans, and we MUST stand up for her.
interview can reliably measure whether someone’s life is at risk a thousand miles away. It just comes down to the mood or bias of the interviewer. #NameAndBiometrics first time, then ”Look into the scanner… welcome back to the US.“
There’s little need for them. Which side of a line you were born on is a distinction without a difference. Asylum seekers are no different from the rest of us, and forcing them through layers of bureaucracy is a waste of time and resources. The people who want to cross are already crossing—and no…
Did you know that the OMB now has the power of the purse, not Congress? And the EO that made that change can’t be rolled back by Congress without a veto proof majority ↓. So even if Democrats win back the House and the Senate in 2026, nothing will really change. #ConstitutionalCrisis
How can any Republicans be happy with the GOP cheating and destroying their way to a lose? (And I don’t mean in 2026, that’ll be rigged or moot, I mean a lose for the country, and for the people)
makes her so intriguing is wondering: “How high could she go? Could she absorb someone like Silver Surfer to give herself the capacity to take on even more cosmic entities?” And maybe what makes her so amazing is that, despite all that potential, she’s humble enough not to test her limits
Jubilee Gambit Nightcrawler Wolverine Rogue That was not hard. Jubilee is even shallower than Gambit. Nightcrawler always seemed to be there just to look weird, but was still more complicated than them. Rogue is just awesome — a beautiful disaster, to borrow Kelly Clarkson’s phrase and what…
Their constant attacks on democracy and freedom, and their inability to adopt policies that are any more than hate for hate’s sake are exactly how incompetent and cruel they are. This ↑ is terrible, but represents just a tiny fraction of their tyranny.
This has the be fixed. It’s a violation of the second amendment Donald Trump Can Seize Your State’s National Guard - Here’s Why It Matters youtu.be/AHNPxMSj6qA
The outrage isn’t that Ghislaine Maxwell lied — that’s who she’s always been. The outrage is that the U.S. Department of Justice rewarded those lies with real benefits — and more are still coming. This isn’t justice. It’s a state-sponsored cover-up — and they think we won’t notice.

Freedom of worship from political interference is important, but freedom of worship in a personal sense is an oxymoron, disguising control by those who get a free ride and influence by exerting it.
I’m appalled that millions of Americans think it’s normal that what a US president says and does is wrong factually and morally.
He may not be ill. He may just be bruising himself from lashing out.

If DOJ has a strong criminal case against Abrego Garcia, they should welcome the chance to prove his guilt at trial. This offer of guilty plea or Uganda is coercive. www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/...
When you take a serious topic to Greg Gutfeld, you can’t be surprised if people stop taking you seriously
This ↓ except it understates it. There were rich people who didn’t just enable Maxwell and Epstein, they participated in those crimes, raping those girls. They deserve to be in prison, maybe the one Maxwell just left, not the one she’s in now.
All these ended without any serious political negotiation: WW2 US, Cambodian, and Sri Lankan civil wars Napoleonic Wars Mongol Invasion Spain wiping out the Aztecs Destruction of Carthage Rwandan Genocide Korean War Iraq (2003) Conclusion: JD Vance is lying to you. He learned from the best.
For a long time I thought hate was just a blight, that it has no purpose, but we’re meant to hate him and the Project 2025 team. I question the judgement of anyone who doesn’t
He looks and acts like a man dying. It will happen, hopefully soon but remember his power was always theater. Even if his health fails, the architects of Project 2025 remain. Celebrate, but know the hand inside the puppet still moves and their plans haven’t changed. #Resist
Short answer, the power of global trade which, incidentally, the felon is doing his best to cut the US out of. What a plonker
Maybe Lilia licks them into shape🙂
Such a stupid flex.
I know the answer to this: The fossil fuel industry
The DOJ released the security video of Epstein's jail in parts so they could take out anything inconvenient. The DOJ released the Maxwell/Blanche transcript in parts so they could take out anything inconvenient. Such an obvious cover-up.
works with Netanyahu to make you look weak to both Israelis and Palestinians. What did you do wrong? You trusted Israel. You mistook a nominal alliance for an actual ally, and a nominal democracy for a state that actually values human rights instead of apartheid.
Israel goes overboard—indiscriminate bombing, civilians slaughtered, a response so disproportional it borders on psychotic. You hesitate to turn on them, afraid that speaking up means losing your influence. But soon it’s obvious: the felon has the influence, and he’s all in on the hate. He…
So there’s this horrific attack. Hamas carries out the deadliest assault since Israel pushed it into running Gaza separate from the West Bank. Civilians are killed, so you make the standard statement: Israel has a right to defend itself. Fine. Then…
Unfortunately, Bluesky is unavailable in Mississippi right now, due to a new state law that requires age verification for all users. While intended for child safety, we think this law poses broader challenges & creates significant barriers that limit free speech & harm smaller platforms like ours.
“of course prosecutions will come”
they actually deported them they’d not only have to be able to process them faster, which they can’t, or deport them without due process, and the ones they’ve deported don’t provide optics to campaign on.
Maxwell Alejandro Frost: “Despite criticism and reports of harsh conditions, ‘Alligator Alcatraz’ is serving as a model for other states to establish similar facilities” Translation: “The GOP don’t care how badly they treat people and they’re not about deporting them, just hurting them.” If… 1/2
My fear is that police are being tricked—told from on high that they’re helping ICE agents, when in fact ICE is unleashing white supremacists to blatantly profile and abduct random POC
Again?
Dictators don’t leave because someone tells them to. By the time action is needed, it’s long past words. And no—it won’t be worse than the problem it solves. The canary’s already dead in the coal mine.
This ↓ is excellent. It not only warns people about what is being done wrong, it tells you what you can do about it. Please click into her post and repost it.
Donald Trump says he is going to deploy the National Guard to Chicago. This is what weak men do to pretend they’re strong. Stay safe, stand with your community, and most importantly, know your rights:
Sadly, the Speaker imagines himself the second coming of Moses, and those with the power to remove him are too afraid of losing their jobs to actually do their jobs
My guess would be that they won’t buy his ****coin and they don’t want him as an investor.
A woman who criticized Ghislaine Maxwell’s transfer to their facility in an interview has been transferred out to another facility which houses violent offenders. Trump’s DOJ is now punishing people who criticize his sex offender friends. www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article...
This analogy ↑ walks right into their narrative that gay is wrong. A book can’t make you gay. What it can do is help you recognize who you are — and that’s not a problem.
Hegseth may very well have fired all the career military leaders and replaced them with Trump toadies by then. He's already made a good start on it, and nobody's saying boo about it. Our military is being gutted from the inside.
Masked raids are tools of fear, not freedom. Despite what this administration wants you to believe, they are not about “safety.” They are about letting ICE agents hide from accountability while carrying out inhumane acts.
I don’t get it. What are we seeing here? Who are these people and why does whatever they’re saying, most of which I can’t make out, matter?
Turns out all they had to do was was their hands of the rest of the world at war without joining, while lending the UK money to fight it.
‘Terms acceptable to Israel’ — translation: apartheid on PCP.
Blindly following a President, especially this President, is the opposite of doing their job.
How frustrating.
Is there any count yet of the number of people the police took to hand over to ICE?
I don’t think they’ve been accused of stealing nuclear weapons, yet.
Whoa.
Used to be that the only risk to any of the students in this situation was getting shot. Now the cops could turn many of them over to ICE too.
Can’t lock ’em up. The law doesn’t give us the tools. The Constitution wasn’t built for this—it was written by rich white men

Uvalde school officials are withholding documents about classroom security and a payout to the sacked police chief even after a court ordered such documents released in the wake of the May 2022 massacre at Robb Elementary School in Texas. https://cnn.it/4oS0jg4
Because those foreign agencies are working in collaboration with them.
It would be a total hero move for Vikas Khanna to step back in. As I understand it, technically the job is his if he wants it, though he has moved on, so if he chooses not to, that would be cool too, particularly given that the felon might try to remove him.
Sometimes the sheer idiocy of this moment overwhelms me. The idea that our convicted felon POTUS who incited an attack on DC police then pardoned the attackers & who's the most corrupt official in US history is going on an "anti-crime" ride-along in a city w/falling crime rate is...(brain explodes)
…there have been 99 homicides in DC this year. So maybe 25 now, and perhaps 40 by year-end, are the ones the public could reasonably worry about as an ‘emergency.’ In a small town, that would be significant. But DC has over 700,000 people—you’re statistically more likely to be struck by lightning
We need the homicide statistics broken down. Most people don’t consider gang violence or family disputes as things that could touch them personally. It’s the opportunistic crimes—muggings, carjackings, bodega robberies, roughly a quarter of the homicides—that actually worry people. In total… 1/2
‘Strategic benefit’? More like a tactical convenience every now and then. On balance, Israel’s support for the U.S. is sporadic, while the costs are constant — and America’s reputation is crucified for backing genocide and apartheid.
So long as his father is alive, he’s probably right. The deceived on the right will see him/whoever as just a figurehead and they’ll cruise to a win on the back of 13 years of campaigning, compared to 5 months the Dem candidate will have. For the love of democracy bring Dem primaries forward a year
Israel provides intelligence, technology, and regional influence, but the tangible benefits to the U.S. often don’t match the scale of support it receives—especially given the risks of entanglement in Middle East conflicts. In practical terms, the U.S. subsidizes Israel far more than it gains

Trump wants to get rid of mail-in ballots so he can intimidate voters with federal troops stationed at the polling stations. Hard to scare people who can just quietly mail in their votes. Protect mail-in voting at all cost.
Hipposaurus?
Within parts of Israel’s governing coalition, rhetoric that erases Palestinian civilian status or countenances extreme harm has intensified in 2025, and they’re compressing Gazans into Rafah again, where civilians face disease, starvation, and the threat of overwhelming military force
Yep! The headlines, & the BS ideas that get planted in people's minds, shaping their perception of people & the world. It's an insidious evil that they gleefully engage daily. People will remember the headline--the details & outcome won't be remembered & don't matter. The lie has already taken root.
Nolan's being a goofball, and I think we can all agree that Lilia's having SUCH a rough life.
Slavery is bad, yet some guys thought it was okay to apply it 9 months at a time.
Bad people can do good things, and vice versa.
Can confirm. The felon is a villain. Putin is a villain. Zelenskyy is a hero. A little more clear cut than Palestine.
This is just the latest in a sequence of land grabs by Israel, continuing the Nakba. How is it right that as compensation for losing lives and houses in German controlled territory, Jews get to take lives, houses, schools, etc from Palestinian territory?
The Iron Dome is defence-washing for offences.

It’s a pity that it didn’t work. He’s already back to lying about who started the war (reminder: it was Putin, not Ukraine).

There’s a new McCarthyism coming for asylum seekers, and you should read about this political filter disguised as a security measure:
They’re probably not zoned for residences though, and that’s possibly for good reason. e.g. Proximity to industrial hazards.
They’d arrive in 2 weeks.
