Let's reinstate the INS

El-Sayed: "Once a government agency like ICE is told it has impunity to do the worst things and violate the highest law of the land, which is the Constitution itself, I don't think you can reform or retrain. I think we need to start from scratch ... I think we need to abolish it."

It should be understood that our tax dollars are used to fund spacex, & tesla. Those dollars are now being used to influence elections here & abroad toward autocratic & oligarchic rule. Fuck musk. We should take a 51% stake in the national interest & impose a 90% progressive tax. Billionaires suck

Amazing to watch judicial candidates, who are sworn to apply the law without fear or favor, show so much fear of potus & favor toward the big lie of 2020.

Fucking insanity

Gill: 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.

This is unAmerican bullshit. Direct your fury into action. Dems haven't fought loud enough, so we have to push them. Now is the time to call your Reps. Our vote is our power, we must remind them & make demands. They work for us, donor money doesn't change that.

If you aren't angry then you aren't paying attention.

I'm guessing all the senior staff who actually had experience in war fighting would have some good ideas. But then, this is a war started for potus' entertainment, so there is no good way out.

Given the balance sheet of death from guns for everyone, & the silence from advocates throughout these months of government attacks on civilians, cronyism, & corruption, I remain unconvinced there's a pro-democracy contingent among 2A folks🤗

You actively need those people. Aside from the civilian ones, many of those make up police depts and the armed forces and you need one major branch backing a coup. If the generals would get pissed enough at Hegseth it’d be over in an afternoon.

I don't know, "They are crooked & corrupt, just like the country" rings pretty true to me under this administration.

The gaslighting is off the charts with this one. Every word is a lie. His actual approval rating is the second worst in modern presidential history, behind only Nixon’s 24% just before he resigned.

😅 I really wish this wasn't a time of gallows humor

Quick gig work idea for anyone living in DC & I might be late here, but it seems like there might be a market for a potus destruction tour.

Oh, yay! The gop can approve potus' criminal defense attorney for USAG

This is why we have to use our collective power to vote & fight for the America we are promised

Marc Riggsbee@marcriggsbee.bsky.social · 4d ago

Heed the warning.

America prioritizes wealth. It why we all can't have nice things, like affordable housing, or health insurance, or gas, or food.........

It's all about priorities. The tech bros gave politicians a lot of money.

Once again, potus takes the side of our enemies. Rather than address Iran's cyberattack on multiple state's water processing infrastructure, he blames my governor. It's sad. It's stupid. It's desperate. It's obvious.

I've been using the donny soprano euphemism for a couple years because of his blatant, mob style, corruption. I'm thinking of switching things up & adding donny antoinette whenever talking about his pathetic "me, me, me" projects.

Corruption is becoming a central issue with potus & the gop. Dems could win on an anti-corruption, pro-wealth tax platform, but it would shine a light on their own problems & eat into their own wealth accumulation. The citizenry be damned.

Just remember, it's not Left v. Right, it's up v. down. Tax corporations & the rich progressively

Does anyone else have a job where you can just dip out for a month & a half without notice? Would you still have a job? Would you still get paid, earn retirement & get healthcare for life? I didn't think so.

Anyone else clock the McConnell "proof of life" photos are taken in the same chair, in the same corner of the same room?

🤣🤣🤣

The ordinance we waste during this war as the aggressor for donny's ego, leaves us less capable of defending ourselves. He's burning through so much it could invite an attack & we'll have nothing left.

It's time we return to progressive taxation of wealth. You know, like when America was great? (I know, it was only great if you were white & male, but we can do better this time around.) youtu.be/wwr-DpGGsk8?...

What are the odds we drop a nuke on Iran before the midterms?

Budgets are moral documents. They're proof of what's valued enough to prioritize spending of limited money. Congress continues pandering to the comforts of the tax dodging wealthiest among us while stripping our rights & cutting the benefits we pay for at rates much higher. Return to 90% taxation.
