Kindness is Punk

Unfortunately we voted the Democrats out of all the positions that could have actually hold Republicans accountable. Republicans never hold each other accountable.

I really understand the frustration, it’s not enough but that’s exactly why we need people like AOC in a position to hold Republicans accountable because at least we know they will, rather than establishment Democrats.

I’m just trying to trick people into reading the article, just cut out the fluff, but you’re right ‘plainclothes federal agents’ are modern day Gestapo and not something I thought would exist in the modern day.

TLDR:

Andrea Velez, a U.S. citizen and Cal Poly Pomona graduate, was violently detained by plainclothes federal agents in downtown Los Angeles while heading to work. Witnesses say officers—in unmarked cars, without ID—tackled her without checking identification. Her family believes she was targeted due to her Hispanic appearance and fears retaliation, as her mother is a non-citizen resident. LAPD claimed they responded to a “kidnapping” call but later admitted it was an immigration operation. Velez’s whereabouts remain unknown, sparking outrage over racial profiling and unchecked enforcement. ICE has not commented.

They aren’t pro-life, they’re pro-birth.

Yup, that’s what democracy is supposed to be all about giving engaged citizens the tools to change the system to reflect their values!

Do both, so they know why they lost.

I don’t know a lot but I made a comment about it before that I share here with some basic info and further reading. I’ll post it here.

TL;DR:

ICE contractor ShadowDragon uses their platform SocialNet to map individuals’ digital footprints, personal data and connections across 200+ sites such as OnlyFans, WhatsApp, Roblox and Duolingo.

ShadowDragon claims it accesses data in real-time without storing it, sidestepping some accountability.

ICE and other agencies, including the DEA and State Department, use SocialNet for investigations, citing its utility in tracking criminal activity, despite their unwillingness to prove that criminality in court.

The sheer horror of being conscripted into the Russian military is unimaginable. These soldiers reduced are cannon fodder and are treated as less than human, not even afforded basic sustenance. These aren’t soldiers; they’re disposable bodies thrown into a meat grinder by officials who are nothing short of war criminals. The cruelty is beyond comprehension.

Between this and the ICE contractor ShadowDragon using their platform SocialNet to track “potential threats” it’s beginning to paint a grim picture.

Israel fighting for anyone’s rights is so fucking laughable

tyrannical problems require fabulous solutions

Sucks it had to be like this, really wanted to visit my friends in Florida. They tried to convince me it’d be fine but damned if I’ll support the US right now. Also I’m not rolling the dice on the gestapo.

I mean, that’s the Republican strategy, right?

Make up a bunch of easily disprovable lies about what your oppenents doing, then when your opponent calls you out, it sounds like nonsense.

I mean anyone who took the incoherent ramblings of Trump as anything of value at this point brought it on themselves.

Hey now, he’s not just Israel’s bitch, Israel also has to share with Russia and The Heritage Foundation

This is why I like games where I can combine weaker potions into the more potent equivalent.

Who could have possibly predicted that Trump would side with Putin? What an utterly shocking development if only there had been years of obsequious praise, leaked intelligence to Russian officials, and repeated calls to dismantle NATO as clues! Truly, nobody saw this coming.

don’t give them ideas

Poll: Americans overwhelmingly want Trump to obey court rulings, but MAGA Republicans are split are traitors.

FTFY

Runs in the family I guess, and by family I mean Republican caucus.
