Democrats forced Graham Platner to step down over serious allegations - but when Max Miller faces serious allegations of throwing boiling water on his ex-wife, beating her, holding a gun to her head and breaking his 2yo daughter’s collarbone - Republicans do nothing.
Jesus’ harshest words in the gospels wasn’t towards prostitutes, other religions, or undocumented immigrants.
Jesus’ harshest words were towards the rich and religious who used God’s words to justify exploitation and oppression.
Yet many want us to believe the opposite.

We are supposedly at war to stop Iran from enriching the uranium we “obliterated” over a year ago.
Yesterday we signed a deal to help Saudi Arabia enrich uranium.
The first time the United States has ever helped another country enrich uranium on foreign soil.
The Saudis refused the inspection protocol 140 other countries accept. Too intrusive, they said.
Trump agreed. He signed a national security waiver to get around the rule.
The Saudis paid Kushner $100 million. They put $2 billion into his firm. They put another $6 billion into LIV Golf, which pays Trump properties to host its tournaments. They signed ten billion dollars in Trump-branded real estate deals in Jeddah and Riyadh. All in just the last few years.
But sure. My paintings.
#BREAKING: Liz Oyer: “I was shocked to hear Mr Blanche’s testimony about this yesterday. What he said about my firing is provably false. His claim that it had nothing to do with the concerns I raised is contradicted by documents and evidence. His claim that he tried to call me before sending marshals to my home is flat out false. His claim that it is normal for DOJ to use armed law enforcement officers to deliver mail to the homes of its former employees is preposterous. The casual lies that Mr Blanche tells, even while sitting in this chair testifying to this committee, are emblematic of a much larger problem. To the American public, it looks like Mr Blanche is running DOJ as Donald Trump’s personal law firm. Americans across the political spectrum rely on DOJ to keep us safe and free. Mr Blanche has shown that he is willing to put all of that at risk to serve a political agenda. I beg the members of this committee to think about what this is costing our country. Please do not degrade our justice system further by promoting Mr Blanche.” 😳
We asked https://t.co/du9bv2U4pY to lay out the major discrepancies between ICE’s story and the evidence emerging in the killing of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo:
ICE says Lorenzo rammed a federal vehicle. It has released no evidence proving it.
ICE says he tried to run over an agent. Public footage does not show it.
All three eyewitnesses say no agent was in his path and the shooting began almost immediately.
ICE later admitted Lorenzo was not even the person agents were looking for.
The agents who killed him were not wearing body cameras.
The witnesses’ attorney says ICE is pressuring them toward deportation before they can fully testify. DHS denies it.
No footage. No transparency. Witnesses facing removal.
Release the evidence. Protect the witnesses. Independent investigation now.

ICE killed a 26-year-old Colombian man in Biddeford, Maine.
He was legally authorized to work in the U.S. and had a Social Security number. His wife and 3-year-old daughter were in the car when ICE fired at least five shots into the vehicle.
He was not the person ICE was looking for.
An eyewitness says an SUV struck his vehicle before the shooting and heard him say, “I tried to stop.”
The ICE agents involved were not wearing body cameras.
https://t.co/du9bv2U4pY highlights a simple reality: when masked, unidentified people in unmarked vehicles try to ram you off the road, it can be extraordinarily difficult to know who they are or how to comply.
That is why identification, body cameras, transparency and accountability matter.
Without them, this is not legitimate law enforcement. It is fascism.
