After the White House complained about an unflattering photo of Karoline Leavitt, it was removed from AFP and Getty’s systems. This is the photo in question. Please do not repost it. 👇

Shutting the government down because the president’s thug army keeps murdering American citizens for no reason seems pretty reasonable, IMO!

The unc who went viral a few weeks ago protesting in MN is back: "5 shots they put into that man's body. How do you look me in the eye and tell me you can justify this? I'm a veteran. I swore an oath back in 1969 to protect this country against all enemies foreign and domestic. This is unbelievable"

In a civilised society the military would turn on their despotic leader and remove him from power. They would defend the constitution and protect the people. The American people are not safe. The constitution is under attack. Remove him.

Our Democratic elected officials are not rising to this moment so most of them must go. Any elected official who isn’t willing to organize a Project 2029 around punishing everyone in the Trump administration in order to save democracy must go.

I am watching what is happening in Minneapolis on Ali Velshi and one of the ICE officers (off camera) literally says, “It’s like Call of Duty. Pretty cool huh?” as they shoot whatever it is they are shooting. Agents walking around, guns unholstered for no reason. This is insanity

BREAKING: ICE asks “Where’s the gun?” - not realizing one of them had already taken it away before the shots were fired. Proof this was murder. Share this widely so Trump can’t hide behind the lies.

Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him. White. Hot. Rage.

There's no excuse for the Vice President of the United States to use a heinous killing as an occasion to baselessly frame political opponents as accomplices to murder while threatening to use the power of the government to attack them. This dangerous rhetoric will only fan the flames.
