My neighbor thinks 2A is more important than my child's life. Literally, not figuratively.How can I build a bridge to that!? Tell me, Mr. President. Listen? I DID listen and I found out that his bigotry, hate & racism are deeper than I thought. He thinks democracy is overrated. Tell me what to do.

Thank You President Obama👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻. Thank You for once again speaking the truth and laying out the FACTS. This is how a real leader & President who represents & Embodies what America stands for. We need to stand up and fight for our Freedom, Rights & Democracy. Because if we don’t we may lose them. 🇺🇸🗽🫡

How refreshing it is to hear a public figure think before they speak. And w/ Obama that is quite clearly evident (even though it results in some mockery for his halting speech sometimes).

It is not okay to find a black man hanging from a tree with two broken legs and burses on his body, was suicide? This is a good accounting of what is wrong with U.S. especially the hate towards people of difference. Hate crime, making it not safe for people of difference. Inequality is real.

At some point folks have to understand that the problem isn't Dems not using the right tone or whether they're too angry/not angry enough. It's the fact that there's a double standard at play that is almost precisely designed so Dems cannot win no matter how blunt or euphemistic they are in any case

The order for the NPS to remove the image of "Peter," reminds me of Col. Orlando Brown's response in 1866 to a question posed to him by a congressman re: any lingering ill-will toward the freedmen in Richmond. He replied that white people were not inclined "to forgive the negro for being free."

Our CDC and critical public health agencies are no longer reliable sources of information on vaccines. No state should be listening to their recommendations against lifesaving immunizations. Doing so will cause great harm. No foreign nation should look to the US right now as a model. We’re a joke

Clay Higgins sent a letter to Bluesky and other social media sites threatening investigations if they don't censor speech critical of Charlie Kirk. They don't even know who Jay is because they addressed her as "gentleman." clayhiggins.house.gov/wp-content/u...
Alt text: Two-page letter on official U.S. House of Representatives letterhead, dated September 15, 2025, from Congressman Clay Higgins (Louisiana, 3rd District) to major tech executives, including Mark Zuckerberg (Meta), Elon Musk (X), Neal Mohan (YouTube), Shou Zi Chew (TikTok), Jay Graber (Bluesky), and Devin Nunes (Trump Media & Technology Group).

Page 1:
The letter opens by thanking the executives for their service and offering condolences. It references the "graphic, televised murder of a heroic Christian leader, Mr. Charlie Kirk," urging the companies to take responsibility by removing posts that allegedly celebrated Kirk’s death. It demands that authors of such posts be banned and new pages they create also prohibited. It frames celebration of Kirk’s murder as unacceptable in a free society, and states that Congressman Higgins has initiated a Congressional effort to enforce this.Page 2:
The letter continues, stating that shielding offenders will not be protected under Section 230. Higgins emphasizes his role as Chair of the Federal Law Enforcement subcommittee of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, with authority over federal regulatory law enforcement. He frames the restriction of harmful public statements not as oppression, but as protection of free speech and societal standards. The letter closes with a demand for a formal response within one business week, signed "Clay Higgins, Member of Congress," and CCs Donald J. Trump (President of the United States) and Pam Bondi (Attorney General, U.S. Department of Justice).
