It's time, folks. If you're not a #NAFO #fella yet, do it right now. Free people everywhere must come to the aid of Ukraine. Call your reps, donate to @u24.gov.ua 🇺🇦, spread the word. Do not let D f-ing T put our country on the wrong side of history. Make the world (and the U.S.!) safe for democracy.

This is completely outrageous and disgusting. This must immediately be blocked by Congress and Trump should be impeached for this. The US is now funding Putin’s war machine as he murders civilians including children. We are lost as a country.

center that's at an undisclosed location with no medical treatment where they'll be held for several days then released once citizenship is verified. They don't seem capable of affecting an arrest without shooting and killing people. Abolish ICE!!!!

I personally do not feel safe with ICE roaming the country and not just because I'm an African American but as a US citizen. The discharging of a firearm by law enforcement is a HUGE deal and should be treated as such. They shoot first, throw people in unmarked cars, throw them into a detention

9/ When people don’t know what to believe, they believe nothing. “They all lie.” “Both sides are corrupt.” The goal isn’t persuasion—it’s disillusionment. Make truth feel futile. Make facts feel fake. Get people to give up—and the GOP wins by default through disengagement.

12/ Even journalists who welcomed liberation struggled with responsibility. Under the old system, managers decided what could run. Now reporters had to make their own calls and stand behind them. Some still feared publishing perfectly legitimate stories. Political control had become a habit of mind.

9/ Those pages matter because propaganda isn’t always a politician barking orders on camera. It can be an editor quietly killing a story, a manager removing a name, or a reporter learning which facts are too dangerous to print. Eventually, people stop waiting for orders. They censor themselves.
