Laugh it up you insecure little shits! I'll BOYCOTT FOR LIFE any product, company, or organization that hires anyone from the men's US Olympic hockey team. Men get the limelight, endorsements, phone call, EVERYFUCKINGTHING. But they still gotta make jokes @ the expense of the amazing women's team.

TO RECAP:
- The president will grant the most notorious living sex trafficker on the planet clemency, if she testifies that he’s innocent
- They don’t want you to believe the thousands of women who were victims of Epstein
- But they do expect you to believe ONE woman, Ghislaine Maxwell

Sorry. I think you misspelled "and." It's "AND"! Noem goes AND dems are initiating impeachment hearings. Oh, AND because you went along to get along, now it's the senate's job to abolish ICE. Totally empty threat. Republicans know that Dems will never do things the hard way. You can't even say NO.

my expectation of democratic senators is that they find 1/10th of the bravery of your average 70 year old lutheran lady following ICE around mpls in her subaru crosstrek

Halfway down a row where workers are pruning grapevines

Halfway down a row where workers are pruning grapevines

"Leo" prunes grapevines in Fresno CA. "We get 32 cents/vine piece rate. I'm very fast and on a good day can make a 600 vine row or more. Slower workers take 2-3 days to do a row. By mid row, my arms cramp up and I am tired. This pic is when I'm halfway through a row." #WeFeedYou

I wouldn't assume they brought a Wiffle ball bat, but I'm not a sports ball expert. What kind of thing do you bring to a game you and your millionaire friends are hoping to lose?

Nice words, Chuck. Care to do anything about it? Like go TF outside, stand with MN, stand with immigrants, defund ICE, impeach Bondi and the rest of the fascist regime, listen to the community organizers to find out what they need, organize a protest/strike/boycott, do anything to save us?

Danish Parliament Deputy Speaker Lars-Christian Brask:

"If I could come with some advice, it would be for the Senate & House to start to take control of political power in America because with this erratic & mad behaviour, you have to ask the question, is the President capable of running the US?"

Fundraisers for MN dems will do nothing as per usual. Would love to see Dem leaders walk the F&%k outside, stand w/ protesters, & ask community leaders, "hey, what can we do to help aside from our usual: harass you for $$ & stick our thumbs up our a$$es while blaming y'all for resisting?"

I caught Dem consultant Simon Rosenberg (the "hopium" guy) editing incriminating stuff from his own Wikipedia page. He's also too old and too rich for that kind of amateur hour horseshit! It's both hilarious and sad. bsky.app/profile/inep...

When the Hilton in Minneapolis kicked ICE out, Hilton Hotels and Resorts dropped that hotel from its chain. Hilton literally punished that hotel for protecting their guests and employees from ICE. Does Hilton still think Renee Good's murderer--and all of ICE--should get a good night's sleep?

🚨NASHVILLE: β€œNOBODY KNEW ABOUT THIS… show up today: 4pm.”

Local biz owners blindsided by a push by councilman Taylor to limit what (black-owned) businesses on Buchanan St. can do at night, which could shut them down- and usher in gentrification.

I don't think some people realize what the President already making it plain he considers it a justified shooting is really going to mean.

Our first ad of 2026! Because politics stuck in 2006 won't meet the moment.

It's time to stand up to ICE, white supremacists, and the billionaire oligarchy.

one takeaway from the grok noncon porn thing is that much of the media just isn't interested in an issue they can't pretend has two sides or that doesn't give them an opportunity to shit on the left. Also it would be uncomfortable to justify remaining on twitter after acknowledging it

Congress-

Demand total handover of Epstein files. Allow victims to redact victims’ identities before releasing to public.

DOJ blew it; they are not up to task. Impeach/discipline Bondi.
Enough, wrap this up; let the arrests begin!

What a perfect analogy and response to resistlibs who whinge about "why are you protesting democrats and not republicans." Well done. 🧡

They're waiting for the consultants to analyze the data and focus-group some measured, centrist, response-shaped words that will postpone any action they might take indefinitely because we apparently don't pay them to give a damn or to do a single damned thing.

Members of Congress: stop posting online and APPEAR, PHYSICALLY on the steps of the Capitol to decry this unconstitutional violation of domestic & international law. SHOW THE PEOPLE the level of danger we are facing as a country.

Casual reminder that the myth of β€œpulling 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.

Exactly! Every day, in every way, Dem leaders move closer and closer to the fascist end of the table and further away from the communities that have always supported them.

We need a new party.
