What is happening in the US is the same that has happened in every fascist state in history: oligarchs exploiting hate to increase their wealth and power. We thought it couldn't happen here, but we were wrong.

Before I was a politician, I was a proud union member. I’m honored to stand with my union brothers and sisters on Labor Day and every day. In the Senate, I’ll fight to raise pay, lower costs, and empower Texas workers.

Flock cameras have no place in Texas. They can piece together an exact map of your behavior — the places you went and how long you were there. Flock calls this “pattern-of-life” mapping. Texans call it something else: government overreach.

The biggest story in the world right now is that the president of the United States is a demented old man who takes pleasure in torturing and killing people and is committing crimes with impunity. And yet most legacy media outlets are too cowardly to tell it like it is.

Let me just say that I truly admire the legendary Bruce Springsteen. He’s an incredibly talented artist, an actual American patriot, a fighter for democracy and a good human being.

Saying The Quiet Part Out Loud Dept.-Kinda sounds like he's admitting he interfered in the election with VERY specific statistics. I quit Twitter because he bought it, way before his confession he stole the election for the Orange Atrocity. 🍊💩 Now I'm SURE I made the right decision! 👍

Does anyone seriously believe anything he says here? Is it even remotely tenable to have a president whose statements are so erratic and lacking in credibility?

I cannot adequately explain how fucked up the World Cup situation is wihen the president of a host nation *threatens the safety* of one of the participants (Iran). The USA should be removed as a host nation and if it's not, the games shoud be boycotted and ANYONE WITH A MORAL CENTER should see that.

Reverend Jesse Jackson called on each of us to be heralds of change, to be messengers of hope; to step forward and say “Send me” wherever we have a chance to make an impact. How fortunate we were that Jesse Jackson answered that call. What a great debt we owe to him.

Every day the racist, fascist, orange pedo pig in the WH manages to hit a new rock bottom. Photoshopped monkey heads on the Obamas is a level of racism and vileness, so deeply rooted in hatred like we’ve never seen before. Nothing intimidates or triggers Trump more than this beloved couple.

When I saw Liam at the Dilley Detention Center, something was clearly wrong. He was lethargic, not eating, and depressed. Thankfully, Liam and his dad are back home in Minneapolis with their family. No child should ever endure this. We will not stop until this cruelty ends.

So the homicide was premeditated. Planned in advance. Agents knew they wanted to kill him, so they prepared for the opportunity and took it. Thanks for helping NYT.
