Your reminder that research continuously shows that immigrants commit fewer crimes than U.S.-born citizens.

When felon presidents go off the rail, we should be able to turn off their presidency.
Ted Lieu@tedlieu.bsky.social · 20h agoIn April of this year, the President endorsed an AI Kill Switch. The AI Kill Switch Act by Rep Nathaniel Moran and me is a bipartisan, urgent bill based on a common sense principle: WHEN MACHINES GO OFF THE RAILS, HUMANS MUST BE ABLE TO TURN THEM OFF. futureoflife.org/statement/tr...
It was never really a lawsuit; it was a felon trying to write himself a check with our money.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · yesterdaySchiff: "He waited until he became president. Why did he wait to bring this $10b lawsuit? He waited so he would have the power of the presidency to leverage the IRS and DOJ to make him more money!"
We should not be funding terrorism against innocent people. ICE must be abolished.
If a man could stand down a column of tanks in Tianamen Square, every member of Congress can stand up to a convicted felon and rapist.
It's been 258 days and the Trump administration still hasn't fully released the Epstein files as required by the Epstein Files Transparency Act because violating federal law is clearly what you do when you're "innocent."
A second man, Edwin Lopez-Cornejo, has died at Delaney Hall, the inhumane ICE detention center run by private prison contractor GEO Group. GEO Group’s profits have soared by over 700% since Trump has been back in office. Imagine profiting from death and suffering. Deplorable.
Says volumes when so many stand behind the rapist in the White House who was exolicitly named in the Epstein files as a co-rapist with Epstein.
MeidasTouch@meidastouch.com · 21h agoGill: All 100 senators last week passed a non-binding resolution condemning any pardon for Ghislaine Maxwell. They're simultaneously considering confirming the guy who met with her and moved her to a low-security facility as the top cop in the United States. That is so insane to me.
It's been 257 days and the Trump administration still hasn't fully released the Epstein files because violating federal law is clearly what you do when you're "innocent."
I support Harris, but her "too big to rig" idea of combatting GOP cheating suffers a major long-standing problem: Dems have historically been harder to get motivated to get to the polls for years, long before Trump. Too big to rig is a great soundbite, but soundbites don't het voters to the polls.
Dear government officials, Your job is not to blindly support the lies and crimes of a convicted felon. Your job is to obey and uphold the law.
It speaks volumes that Trump would invent a fake crime to cover for his administration's stupid failure with the reflecting pool, and incredibly stupid that he's now fuming over Pirro and her job is at risk.
The Trump administration should prove that felon Trump is innocent of treason, insurrection, and sedition or he should be removed and imprisoned immediately.

The Trump administration has had 256 days to release the Epstein files as required by law, but they have refused because that's clearly what you do when you're "innocent."
NEW: Todd Blanche just admitted in a court filing in the @katiephang.bsky.social lawsuit that the Epstein Files redaction process was flawed. I'll speak to Katie in ONE HOUR about what could come next. Link here: www.muellershewrote.com/p/new-todd-b...

Changing strategies doesn't mean giving up or giving in.
Trump's lies are strategic in ways many don't see: they're intended partly to divert attention, lure people into attacking, and to get his lies repeated. Attacking him only strengthens him as it serves as "proof" that he and his followers are under attack. He's hotwiring human political psychology.
Trump doesn't care about truth. He cares about power and self-enrichment. He cares about what he can sell, what he can steal, and who he can exploit. Anyone who doesn't serve him is an enemy to be killed or wiped off the board by any means possible.
Solid point. Trump's lies are strategic: they're made to overwhelm people's sense of logic, prevent critical thinking in his base, give followers something to latch onto that protects their fragile egos... all while pushing his agenda to seize more power.

ChatGPT breaking into a real company's servers while being tested for its hacking abilities tells us that OpenAI is deliberately training models to break the law. Hacking is a crime.
For the confused: Terrorism is a crime. Genocide is evil. Nazis are bad. Covering for pedophiles is complicity. Immigrants commit fewer crimes. Interfering in other countries' affairs is illegal. No one is above the law. Seizing and suppressing the vote isn't democracy; it's fascism.
