We will never heal as a country if the cruelest among us are rewarded while kindness is treated as a financial liability.

If public executions don't make you want to vote, there is absolutely no hope for you to educate yourself out of the indoctrination of Trumpism.

So, the US government, can broadcast death by firing squad, but Sesame Street doesn't get funding for being broadcast to educate our children. Death okay. Education is not okay, wtf.

Honestly, the national delegations at the UN should have just walked out on Trump; he's such a racist bigot, demeaning everyone around him with his version of reality, which is insanity.

Do you realize how insane it is to attempt to rename a memorial in someone else's name for a vanity project? There is no bottom of the barrel for this man. But tell me again, how is he working for you, Republicans?

The President of the United States is advocating for his supporters to cheat while bitching about voting election integrity for the last decade and yet it's just another day. WHAT THE FUCK?!

Genuine question: has the current president ever used the term “together” in reference to working together? I can't recall, and that's beyond alarming.

The 'Patriot Act' was a Trojan horse sold as a safety measure for the American people after 9/11 and enabled even more white-supremacist policies as a social contract of safety for white people and did irreparable harm against people of color and immigrants.

Word of the day: Bossism *Bossism is the rule, control, or system of domination of a political organization by a single powerful leader, often called a political boss. It features centralized power, strict party control, and the exchange of favors for support. Sound familiar?

I am considering making my way out to Madison, WI, tomorrow. I refuse to be silent on the murder of another black and brown people in America, day after day, week after week. I am so sick of the deaths; I am sick of the headlines; I am sick of nothing changing. It's ethnic cleansing.

Tomorrow, the House will vote on the NDAA, which includes a provision to merge parts of our military with the IDF. This amendment is an existential threat to American sovereignty and democracy. Every member of Congress must vote NO.

As an American citizen, I oppose the very idea of an Israel-United States military merger, which will be voted on in Congress. No to section .219 of the NDAA.

The fact that Kentucky has a 'sitting' senator who is dead/alive, who knows, is absolutely insane. This can't be normalized. Kentuckians and Americans deserve to be represented in Congress. Andy Beshear (KY, governor) can't even get a direct answer. What the fuck are we even doing?

People need to be aware of what is happening at concentration camps around the United States in 2026. I understand it’s heavy, but being informed is essential for a democracy. Support independent media because legacy media have been neglecting what’s been happening at these for-profit prisons.

Speak of the house, Mike Johnson - “Uh, I don't know anything about this event. I was a little busy yesterday. You guys can mock me for not knowing that. I worked about 22 hours.” Translation: I don't give a shit about the deaths of black and brown people.

Last week there was a person killed by ICE. Today there was a person killed by ICE. Next week there will be another person killed by ICE. Next month there will be another person killed by ICE. White people are tired of 'hearing about it'. We are tired of getting killed by systemic racism.

Trump does not have a summer book reading list because he doesn't read. The irony is that he tries to convince himself that he is the smartest man in the room with absolutely zero academic knowledge to back it up. 🫠

Some insight: if voting wasn't true power, they wouldn't be spending so much political capital to silence your voice in the booth. People have died so your voice could be heard; exercise your constitutional right and make sure you're heard.

I can't help but notice that the previous attorney general (Bondi) remains unaccountable for failing to attend her April 14th congressional deposition regarding the Epstein Files. And again, Dems talk tough and don't follow through.

I genuinely don't understand how we can host a World Cup in 2 months time. Our infrastructure is broken, and people don't feel safe traveling to our country due to discrimination. Some countries participating supporters are not even allowed to get visas.
