ISW: "Western reporting suggests that the United States has accepted Russia’s demanded sequence of having Ukraine cede territory to Russia before receiving formal US or European security guarantee commitments." Yes, Trump supports Putin against Ukraine! Wake up!

I was there. They were indiscriminately firing multiple canisters into a huge peaceful crowd. Fucking cowards

Is there anyone in this administration that did not go to the island?

Send this to your congress critter. Ask them why they’re allowing YOUR money to pay for inflicting this suffering on families.

Here's what ICE is up to in Northeast Minneapolis today. Absolutely heartbreaking. Warning: video is hard to watch

Interesting. Would love to be a fly in the wall.

AOC: I want everybody to understand that the cuts to your health care are what’s paying for this. You get screwed over to pay a bunch of thugs in the street that are shooting mothers in the face.

I see Brownshirts and turncoats. Anyone else?

Happy New Year!

During Facelift, volunteers collect trash, restore trails, and protect habitat across Yosemite Valley. We hope you’ll be able to join in this week!

Trump: "If you [end] mail in voting, you're not gonna have many Democrats get elected. That's bigger than anything having to do with redistricting. And the Republicans have to get smart."
