I’ve lived in places where the sun barely rises in the winter, and barely sets in the summer. Kids there go to and from school in the dark and they have the lowest child mortality rates and traffic deaths in Europe. thehill.com/homenews/599...

Permanent standard time: Where the sun would set before 8 p.m. (and earlier)

Few would still have sunsets after 8 p.m. under permanent standard time.

ICE is responsible for the murder of Orlin Hernandez Reyes. While we can’t bring him back, we can honor him by passing my new bill, Orlin’s Law, to stop ICE from separating parents from their children. Families belong together.

It’s so odd that the United States is OK with *some* rapists in office, but not others. Shouldn’t we have a “NO RAPISTS” policy? Seems a rather low standard.

“For we are not a nation that says, ‘don’t ask, don’t tell.’ We are a nation that says, ‘Out of many, we are one.’ We are a nation that believes that all men and women are created equal. Those are the ideals that generations have fought for. Those are the ideals that we uphold today.” Barack Obama

pure class. even if you aren’t a basketball fan, watch this and you’ll understand why i’m ride or die for ‘Inside the NBA.’

This is amazing - @kevinolearytv 🤡 is fearmongering about Chinese agents opposing his giant Utah data center… but it’s 2 young local girls in Utah who hilariously call him (and his “dumbass hat”) out👇🏽 Full: www.instagram.com/reel/DYU074V...

Historian of abolition here, history tells us how we got here, to put it succinctly “John Brown was hanged for treason and Robert E. Lee was not.”

its true that i dont understand how the supreme court operates. for example do you get the free RV and house for your mom before or after issuing favorable rulings? is it a *wink wink* deal or more explicit? these are the things the general public doesnt understand

NEW: Chief Justice John Roberts bemoans that Americans don't understand how the Supreme Court operates and see justices as "political actors". The court at times simply has to make "unpopular" decisions, he adds: www.nbcnews.com/politics/sup...

Democrats should gerrymander the hell out of their districts. Neutralize Republican voters. Supreme Court is cool with it so just flex until MAGA cries uncle. Fight fire with fire. You cant be Civil with fascists.

Republicans could end this at any time. They love it. Never forget.

just to be clear, everyone, when 8 pm EDT comes and goes, regardless of what does or does not happen, the president still threatened genocide and war crimes and we should still impeach, arrest, and try him

I've now seen several posts from Democratic US Senators and House Reps calling for Congress to return to DC, and my only reaction to seeing these is: Do it. Just get on a plane and go back to DC. The House is in Recess, not adjourned. There was a pro forma session today. Go. Lead by example.

So the genociding is better under Trump? Got it. hsph.harvard.edu/news/usaid-s...

We all saw and heard this, and y’all voted for him anyway. We’ve always known. There were rumblings about Epstein from the very beginning. I remember.

My husband sometimes gets care from the VA. I think it takes a special type of person to work there. It’s not an easy job to care for our vets, but it fulfills a promise we made. Giving dignity to our most vulnerable, in many cases. It’s a special calling, that’s all I gotta say.

Do not slow yourself to be drawn into a discussion on pacifism at this time. You will never be passive and compliant enough to not be a threat in the face of state violence.

If you’re looking to understand who Alex Pretti was, look no further than this video where he honors a veteran who has passed away. He was not a domestic terrorist. He was a good man and a hero. (video pulled on X)

I was living in the reddiest of red states when Obama was elected, and my neighbor bought an rv to escape to the woods because, “They’re gonna come and take all my guns!” MAGA: We saw through you then, we see through you now.

So disarm guy with gun permit, but not wielding it. Take gun. Then shoot him. Blame him. Got it.

But this was okay…

they're executing moms and nurses in the street. they're using preschoolers as bait. they're stealing people's dads and grandmas and children. they're tear gassing babies. they're staking out schools. there is no remedy but abolition. any proposal that doesn't start there is an act of violence.

GOD @ms.now SHUT UP ABOUT TRAINING. I DON’T WANT A WHITE SUPREMACIST MURDER FORCE BETTER TRAINED. I WANT THEM ABOLISHED.

Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him. White. Hot. Rage.

Talk to your friends and family in law enforcement - current or former, military and civilian. They can show you step by step how ICE ignores all use of force and crowd control rules in these videos. Give a Proud Boy a gun, 42 hours of “training”, and let them loose - that’s what this is.

It appears he was trying to protect the two women after one was shoved and they were all sprayed directly in the face.

NEW VIDEO: this appears to be the footage from the woman in the pink coat.

Ok, so I’m confused. So the right wants everyone to have a gun, except when they’re shooting us. Got it.

If your kid looks like Liam, like mine do, I know how you feel right now. Pressure your elected officials to do more - starting with replacing their ineffectual and tone-deaf leadership. Otherwise it’s all screaming into the void.

Dems are a weak-ass opposition party not up the the task in dangerous times. Wake the fuck up.
