Before the midterms of 1866, President Andrew Johnson called his congressional opponents traitors and said they should be hanged.
Voters were so profoundly moved by his words... that they gave his opponents a supermajority in Congress, and the nation got the Fourteenth Amendment.
Remember: The oligarchs who control our economy and democracy seek to divide us so they can become more powerful.
They want us to turn on each other so we don't look up and see where all the wealth and power have gone.
Don't fall for it.
When Trump was asked about the release of the Epstein files, he called one reporter "piggy" and said another was "being insubordinate."
When Trump saw a video calling on the military to follow the constitution, he called for the death of the Democrats who made the video.
He's a tyrant.
Portland dance group offers free Latin dance lessons at ICE facility 💃🏽
Remember: The richest 1% evade over $160 billion in taxes every year.
That amount would fund SNAP for a year with money to spare.
Ask yourself who the real freeloaders are.
DHS says our new piece is "dishonest, slanted, and fundamentally inaccurate" but won't say why. Here's the story where we show with evidence that DHS spliced together clips spanning years and multiple locations to create its own reality. Gift link wapo.st/4nuDGwf
Never in the history of the US has any president openly and repeatedly called for the investigation, arrest & prosecution of his political opponents. While many continue to shrug these things off and normalize them, I will never stop pointing out that this is what autocrats do.
Guillermo del Toro quote "...think about wealth for me for example. A wealthy man that has enough..."
"not a man that needs more. If you have enough to invite somebody to beer..."
"...you're rich. If you have, whatever-"
"- yachts and planes and islands and you STILL need more? You're not rich."
Guillermo del Toro on wealth: "a wealthy man is a man who has enough, not a man that needs more. If you have enough to invite someone for a beer? You're rich. If you have a yacht, planes, islands, and you still need more? You're not rich."

This is the guy who lied on the stand at a trial in LA, telling the jury he witnessed the defendant assault the ICE officer, when the video showed the ICE officer assault the defendant. The jury took an hour to acquit. He's referred to immigrants as "filth, trash, and scum."
Whenever people complain about the number of folks relying on food stamps, it is worth reminding them that SNAP is, by too large of a degree, a subsidy for corporations that refuse to pay a living wage and their political allies who reject public policy prescriptions to reduce income inequality.

Huynh had been informing local businesses of their rights regarding the use of their property by federal agents when he and his staffers were alerted to the presence of federal agents nearby, the statement said. He and the staffers drove to Montrose and Kimball avenues to warn others of the federal agents by honking and yelling when six agents in two vehicles blocked Huynh's vehicle from the front and back.
Huynh said one of the agents pointed a weapon into the open passenger window and demanded they identify themselves as another agent threatened to break another window. He said he didn't immediately take his phone out to record the incident fearing the agent would think he was reaching for a weapon and open fire.
The agent should be fired and the agency abolished, but also Rep. Huynh is doing *exactly* what all elected officials should be doing right now. Right on. It would be oh so wonderful if it wasn’t only reps most at risk of ICE violence who are willing to do it.

NEW: AZ AG Kris Mayes and Adelita Grijalva have filed suit asking the court to declare Grijalva a member of the House once she's sworn in, and if Johnson won't do it, to allow someone else to. www.abc15.com/news/state/a...
NBC just gutted the very teams that gave marginalized voices a seat at the table—then called it “restructuring.”
The cuts:
📌NBC BLK (Black community coverage)
📌NBC Latino (Latino community coverage)
📌NBC Asian America (Asian American community coverage)
📌NBC Out (LGBTQ+ community coverage)
👉 Yesterday was the “No Kings” rally. I barely made it out alive.

A tweet from Ron Filipkowski reads: “After Republicans predicted violence all week from Antifa domestic terrorists this weekend, it turns out the most dangerous place to be on Saturday was the location that JD Vance was filming his TikTok.” The tweet is a sarcastic comment contrasting political predictions of violence with an incident involving JD Vance.
Quite the truth bomb.
It’s “Colombia” YOU ABSOLUTE DUMBASS
