Ramaswamy is a sick, morally bankrupt piece of shit exploiting a woman’s rape at age 12 to win an election. He gave her estranged, abusive mother a platform to weaponize her childhood trauma. There is something profoundly fucking wrong with this man. He has no business holding public office. 🤬
Poverty is a policy decision. Concentrated wealth is a policy decision. Inequality is a policy decision. Economic inequality is not some naturally occurring phenomenon. It is the consequence of choices. One question I always urge my students to ask: who is the market organized for — and why?
Police killed a one-year-old over a shoplifting call about allegedly stolen diapers. No evidence has been presented that diapers were even stolen in the first place.

Oregon is the first state to have every Democratic Member of Congress as a cosponsor of Medicare for All! This is a huge step forward towards making universal healthcare a reality in this country. Which state will be next?
ICE has notified me of another death that has occurred in their custody. This is the 59th death under Trump’s second term. We cannot allow this to continue. We need justice for ICE’s abuse, and we must completely eliminate this broken for-profit system.
Shooting at a car to stop a shoplifter is not justified. Even if no one was harmed, let alone shooting to death a 1 year-old baby.
Ashton Pittman@ashtonpittman.bsky.social · 21h agoJUST IN: The police shooting that killed 1-year-old Kohen Wiley as he sat in his mother’s lap in a Walmart parking lot in Senatobia, Miss., in June “was justified,” Mississippi Attorney General Lynn Fitch’s office said on Monday. Her office will not charge the white officer who shot the child.

First Draft: Forget Abdul El-Sayed’s Mom – Here’s the Truth About Donald Trump’s Dad and the KKK
The Michigan Democrat’s exchange with a GOP agitator pointed to a dark truth about the president’s father. Elsewhere, not every senior Democrat followed Obama’s example in supporting Ilhan Omar.

The official govt of Israel account muted me after I answered their question, so I decided it’s important even more people see my answer.
Thank you sir for taking the time to care about the tragic events that killed and critically injured our brave Canadian military personnel in Wainwright Alberta at a time when your country is being bombed 🇨🇦❤️🇺🇦

Never forget that for over 109 years, we were all taught THE BIG LIE in school that John Brown was a severely mentally ill fanatic. He was a moral visionary, in fact he rejected the insanity defense & the court found him competent. He was a zealot because he knew slavery was a sin against God.
Slavecatchers then, ICE today! Today is the 167th anniversary of the raid on Harper's Ferry. John Brown led a 22 man group to seize the federal armory hoping to spark an armed revolt against the racist slavocracy. The raid wasn't a success, but a flashpoint in the larger abolitionist movement.
I am calling on all Oregonians to remain vigilant for any attempts to intimidate voters. And I’m committing to you that I will do everything in my power to keep our elections secure, accurate and fair. Here’ the latest on what we’re tracking: #OregonVotes #OregonElections #OrPol
Only YOU can prevent wildfires. And only Congress can fund the Forest Service. I’ll be fighting Trump’s budget cuts tooth and nail.
a norwegian on Threads posted this and i just don’t know how much more clearly we can emphasize how much Americans are being ripped off by our system which is built to concentrate wealth at the top
Inside an ICE facility, women talked about the men whose 911 calls landed them there — the boyfriends or husbands who had beat them, choked them, threatened deportation. “I had suffered from domestic violence,” one woman said. “But the one who ended up in trouble was me.”
These Women Were Trying to Escape Domestic Abuse. ICE Detained Them Instead.
It’s especially intimidating for immigrants suffering abuse to call 911. With this in mind, Congress has long treated people who need help as victims, not targets for deportation. Under the Trump admi...
