Biden wasn’t perfect. Def had issues, some missteps…. Kinda like a normal, thoughtful, fallable human would.
But he wasn’t a lying POS crook. I respected him. I voted for him. I stand by him.
tRump? Fuck him in his heart. Cock in the aorta. Literally fuck his heart until it explodes.
Too much?

Who would have guessed that sending masked unidentified people out with weapons and a mandate to abuse people would lead to copy-cat wrongdoing?
I'm shocked.

I love you, Chicago!
Fifteen Democratic New York elected officials were arrested at a federal building in Manhattan while seeking access to an ICE holding facility — the latest clash between Democratic officials and immigration authorities.
I am just going to assume that anyone who is opposed to releasing the Epstein files is in them.
Well said.
Julio González Jr., released last week from the Terrorism Confinement Center, said he was beaten, robbed of thousands of dollars and denied a lawyer.
“I practically felt like an animal,” González told The Post.
Take your masks off ICE, show us how proud you are

This is why healthcare is too expensive.
"Here’s a wild-but-true factoid: 10 of the 20 largest companies on the new Fortune 500 list derive profit from the 340B program. I guess you can’t throw off tens of billions of profits without titans of industry figuring out how to get their hands on it."
If approved, the move would be the first time Guard troops at the national level have been asked to assist in the removal of migrants in the U.S. without legal status.

ICE says it is investigating the cause of death of 44-year-old Marie Ange Blaise in a Florida detention center on Friday. A local congresswoman says Blaise had complained of chest pains "for hours."
They make it sound like there are millions of dead people getting Social Security checks. But it's just not true.
Can anyone recommend a good child development textbook that does a good job considering cultural influences? Thank you in advance!
*Of course* advance information on US combat operations is classified. Pretending otherwise is an insult to our troops, who all know this.
The Secretary is unfit to lead.

A tweet by Sarah Longwell (@SarahLongwell25 ) reads: "He’s threatening media companies who are critical of him. He’s talking about sending Americans to foreign prisons. He’s signing executive orders to investigate former staff members who spoke out against him. Don’t you see what’s happening here?"
I see it. I have lived it. 83 years ago, the U.S. government turned upon a group of its own citizens and residents and sent them to internment camps without due process. I was there among them. American fascism is back. It is here. It is now.
I want to tell you why the case of Kilmar Abrego Garcia should matter to you.
The one power you cannot give the executive is the ability to imprison or expel anyone regardless of their legal rights. That is our key check against autocracy. And we are watching it disappear.
From your lips to God’s ears!
Yes, the stock market may be tanking and our national security apparatus has never been more vulnerable and we're on the verge of both economic collapse and war, but it was all worth it to keep pronouns out of email signatures.
why were they so stupid in the first place to think Donald actually cares about anyone but millionaires? I will never understand why they thought he cared about them.
