In a real country, it only takes a year to get a conviction when someone tries to overthrow the government. In America, we don't even start an investigation until 2 years after the attempted coup, and we re-elect the guy 2 years after that.

Not to mention the top marginal tax rate was slashed by over 40% under Reagan between 1980 and 1988. We need an admin that will tax the rich and provide for a healthy middle class like FDR did. Bill Clinton did irreparable damage to the dems' willingness to pass working class policy. Time for reform
The CBS 60 Minutes Doc confirms what we knew: The U.S. is currently using our tax dollars to imprison brown people with no criminal record in torture camps overseas.
It’s no wonder administration shill Bari Weiss pulled this off the air: www.youtube.com/watch?v=tjY7...
Casual reminder that the myth of “pulling yourself up by your bootstraps” is a cruel hoax designed to convince poor people from all walks of life that the injustices they face are a result of their own actions, rather than an oppressive system rigged against them.

Wait, but do you care about the families being torn apart by bombs and bullets in Gaza? Or is it only certain ethnicities that deserve dignity and health? Cause you voted against impeachment and took $450,000 of AIPAC money. Is there a genocide happening in Gaza, congresswoman?
Seems like every time a socialist or young progressive wants to make a better future while working within the party, some corporate asshole from Minnesota makes up a reason why their election in particular wasn't valid. @kenmartin.bsky.social @davidhogg.bsky.social
Maybe, they don't want our votes
I'm not right wing but some of this "woke" stuff is a little over the top [6 months later] Slavery was fine. Your city is under martial law
FUNNY, I THOUGHT IT WAS GO WOKE GO BROKE?? WHAT HAPPENED? SEEMS LIKE BEING WOKE WAS THE RIGHT BUSINESS DECISION AFTER ALL!!! I've been boycotting them all year, you love to see it pay off :3 switched my shampoo and everything

We still have no idea who the ICE agents are. They could be insurrectionists, extremist militiamen or criminals themselves, chasing law-abiding citizens down the street for recording their kidnappings. The odds they aren't are low. Congress must raise hell about this. A masked gang runs our country.

We set a big fundraising goal for May, and thanks to supporters like you, we're nearly three-quarters of the way there.
[BAR GRAPH WITH 0% to 100%, filled at 73%]
Now we've just got a few days left to close the gap. These early milestones matter -- it determines what kind of campaign we're running and what we can build next as we plan our strategy for the summer and beyond.
We can't fall short now. Can you chip in today before our deadline and help us finish the month strong?](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:ats4shmeia7i7ildqm3denmd/bafkreibpb3izc7mgyk5u2kxrvvmal4uvv75pfjjlokeoxueiubudwnbpmy)

🧵 Let's talk about campaign emails!
Misleading emails like this one from my opponent are exactly what’s wrong with Democratic fundraising. In reality, there’s no May 31 FEC deadline (the next one is June 30) and these fake deadlines are used to create a false sense of urgency.
Why?
sidewalk A-frame chalkboard: "TAKE WHAT YOU NEED / WE'VE GOT / FOOD WATER / CLOTHES BOOKS / TOILETRIES / DIAPERS PADS / NARCAN + MORE / everyone welcome / donations accepted / KAT ABUGHAZALEH FOR CONGRESS / katforillinois.com"
Our favorite carpetbagger, @KatAbughazaleh, has now resorted to handing out free food, water, clothes, and other items with “Kat Abughazaleh for Congress” on the same sign. This is very likely illegal because it looks like the campaign is using gifts to win votes. If they truly want to help people without breaking the law, they must remove any campaign branding from the giveaway, run it through a separate charity or volunteer group, make it clear that no one has to vote for Kat to receive help.
🤫 she will say you’re attacking her because she’s a woman. Leftists do this a lot, border line break the rules but there isn’t a soul in this area who will challenge it happening. Remember when the left called for an ethics investigation after Trump gave a woman a $100?
basic kindness is so foreign to the far-right that they think it must be illegal
White men of a certain income are overrepresented in decision making roles.
a big aspect of conservative politics and culture is spending them endless time online bullying kids and teenagers
Awww thanks! :3
How about we quit funding a genocide and calling everyone who criticizes said genocide antisemitic? Wouldn't that be a cool way to stop antisemitism by refusing to water down what it means to be antisemitic? Quit using the label of antisemitism as a propaganda tool to excuse the bombing of children
Middle class? Who fights for the working class? This messaging is so tired and disconnected from the class struggle of billionaires vs working people that defines modern American politics. Say this and then advocate for Medicare for all/public option for healthcare. Have a policy focused vision
Gavin Newsom Sits Down For Podcast With Serial Killer Who Targets Homeless
Okay but are you preventing ICE from kidnapping your constituents and their neighbors?
Immigrants and political opponents of the regime. Welcome to hell. These people will put anyone on a plane and send you to a death camp in El Salvador with no due process. American law is dead, everyone exercise your second amendment right and demand identification from anyone claiming to be a fed
The deputized ICE agents are likely a mix of pardoned J6ers, mercenaries, and far-right militia graduates from groups like the oath keepers and proud boys. Exactly like how the good brownshirts graduated to the gestapo in Nazi Germany, the thugs who disrupt protests graduate to abducting
When you said that the people being picked up are not “heroes and martyrs,” what did you mean by that? I mean some of the people, and I’m not going to get into any specific cases, but some of the people who have been detained or cited are people who have obstructed entrances to universities, have taken over buildings, have broken the regulations of the university. I’m not talking about speech. I’m talking about action.
[talking to the next cell]
"what brings you to CECOT?"
"i broke some university rules"
I'm certainly considering it now
Thank God Newsom started a podcast, now he can never be president. I was starting to worry he would be the nominee for a second there
Van Hollen: "I'm very glad that the killed of Rachel Morin has been convicted in a court of law. That is how we hold guilty people accountable ... I'm not sure why Abrego Garcia's rights should be denied based on an awful murder he had absolutely nothing to do with."
I care less about Signal chats and more about the blacksite offshore concentration camps we're sending random people to without any semblance of a trial, so I'll be interested to see if the national media can rub their bellies and pat their heads at the same time this week. Historically they can't.
