Rep Justin Jones made a statement entrance, walking into the Tennessee legislature with an "Abolish ICE" flag. No subtlety. No backing down.🔥🔥🔥

FINALLY, the president of the United States of America has been adjudicated as a RAPIST In many countries he would be imprisoned but hopefully his involvement with Epstein’s trafficking & sexual abuse of minors will bring a conviction and imprisonment.

This is addressed to everyone, but especially Americans under the age of 30: Read dystopian novels. Read 1984, and Brave New World, and Fahrenheit 451, and White Noise, and—fuck—even Hunger Games. So many of you just aren’t getting what’s been happening just because you don’t read.

Reports on the ICE murders from both last week and this week say they got the wrong target. Oh. Is there a right target? Like, if they'd only murdered the person supposedly on their supposed list, it would have been okay? We need to say it plainly. These are death squads, full stop.

ICE is a menace to democracy and its murderous conduct should be soberly considered. But we should also recognize that these people are weak and sad and ought to be made fun of. Read more: www.theverge.com/policy/96430...

We cannot accept the reckless use of deadly force by federal agents as normal. There is a pattern of this administration misleading the public and withholding key facts after these killings.

Hey @chicagotribune.com Editorial Board: Why did you describe me as a “bomb-throwing influencer”? This is wrong, inflammatory, and racist. Change it. www.chicagotribune.com/2026/07/05/e...
So far, the Democratic Socialists of America's success has been confined in large part to deep-blue city districts. Meanwhile, in suburban areas and in statewide contests establishment Democrats generally are winning against progressive challengers. Chicago saw its own version of this dynamic in March in the hotly contested and crowded race to succeed retiring Rep. Jan Schakowsky in the 9th Congressional District. The bomb-throwing influencer Kat Abughazaleh, 27, won the portions of that district in Chicago's North Side lakefront neighborhoods, but suburban votes gave savvy
Evanston Mayor Daniel Biss the win.

The narcissist psychopath demands adulation from the people he rules (he's not mentally capable of actual governance or leadership) but doesn't give anything in return. He is all powerful. Our lives mean nothing to him. We're just disposable objects he can use or discard on a whim.
