Thank you for this clear statement. ICE and DHS cannot be permitted to trample on our Constitutional rights.

Saying Trump was "snubbed" for the Nobel Peace Prize is like saying Goonies 3 was snubbed for the Best Picture Oscar.

He was never in contention because he is a war mongering fascist.

If you let the executive deport people to a foreign gulag just by pronouncing the word β€œterrorism,” then expect to be called a β€œterrorist” soon yourself.

Screenshot of X tweet from @timkaine on 2/12/25 reading: "Am I missing something or did Trump just give Russia exactly what it wants in Ukraine - no NATO admission, Russia keeps Ukrainian land, and Putin gets to visit the U.S.? In return for... one prisoner exchange? That's the grand deal?"

@kaine.senate.gov Senator Kaine, please keep up the pressure on #47's policy and rhetoric on Ukraine. Russia was the aggressor there, and favoring Putin in a deal will jeopardize peace in Europe and the U.S.

Yesterday was Lily's Gotcha Day! Three years since this sweet fur baby entered my life. She's had me wrapped around her paw ever since.

These two January pictures from World's Best Catsitter Blake are pretty representative of the level of cuteβ€”and quantity of furβ€”Lily brings everywhere.

As federal workers and aid recipients reel, Trump’s team is unmoved β€œThey get the one starving kid in Sudan that isn’t going to have a USAID bottle and they make everything DOGE has done about the starving kid in Sudan,” a White House official said.

Trump says the U.S. should abandon USAID commitments and let children starve. β€œI campaigned on this,” Trump said from behind the Resolute Desk this week, defending the ruthlessness with which his White House is moving to cut the federal workforce and spending programs that have existed for decades.

online debate does not deepen understanding; it is a performance.

arguing with strangers on the world's 6th most popular social media app won't do shit.

My point is, on Twitter, your followers see posts that you like on their feed, where as here, that’s not the case.

People migrating here from twitter may think that simply liking a post is spreading it, but the impact they’re looking for resides with a repost.
