The very FIRST time someone got killed in a deportation operation everyone should have said “alright deep breath…I agree that it’s important to enforce the law, but is it really THIS big of a deal?”

Zoom out for a minute. People are dying left and right over fucking paperwork. Deportation isn’t worth a human life.

The American people did that.

America, the host, denied African fans and referees entry, refused Iran on its soil and rang up Infantino for a favour. Your commentators went viral weekly for disrespectful and arrogant comments.

If you can't take the heat stay out of the kitchen.

[Jamie Bonkiewicz @JamieBonkiewicz]

Hear me out…

Since we’re having such a hard time finding male candidates without a history of abuse, sexual assault, or rape maybe it’s time we started electing more women.

Kyle Kulinski: “Trump Derangement Syndrome was always just being sane. You cannot be hyperbolic enough about this man. This man is the devil. This man has done everything in his power to destroy this country. Everything you were told to be as a kid, he’s the opposite of that”

[Chris Murphy 🟧 @ChrisMurphyCT]

Well sure but there’s a “market” for everything, including K-12 ed, police protection, clean water. We just choose to treat certain things as a public good with a basic level of access for all.

We could choose to see some access to youth sports as a public good, not a luxury.

[Matt Binder @MattBinder]

a lot of people who claim to love this country actually just love capitalism and that they personally attained wealth through it

there’s no love for what actually unites America. there is zero civic pride. no care for the common good.

they don’t love the U.S. they love the USD.

Dear World,
Please, never forget these past 26 days we spent together just watching matches and talking ball before the world's most hated man figured out a way to make the World Cup all about himself. I am so sorry.

Sincerely,

Donald Trump is credibly accused of raping multiple women and children.

Not only did Republicans vote for him, they protected him from investigations, spread lies for him, and voted to overturn a free and fair election for him.

[Phillips P. OBrien @PhillipsPOBrien]

Americans getting upset because I keep saying that the USA is helping Putin kill Ukrainians and not Trump, need to face facts. The American people elected Trump and this Congress, and this Cabinet was confirmed by the Senate. This is the policy of the US government.

[😱 Scary Larry 😱 🇺🇦✊🏻🇺🇸🗽 @aintscarylarry]

It’s simple. The DOJ refuses to comply with a court order to release the unredacted Epstein files for one reason & one reason only: Donald trump raped, tortured, & possibly murdered children with Jeffrey Epstein. The actions of the trump regime are as good as a signed confession.

[John Brennan @jmbprime]

The only way the Epstein files get released is if judges begin jailing DOJ lawyers when they are ordered to release documents and refuse to do so.

Arguing about whether immigrants *should* assimilate in the United States is like arguing whether this phone *should* fall to the ground if I drop it. Assimilation happens.

My favorite part of this *debate* is it’s all in English between people who have assimilated.

I remember people telling me in 2016 that I was overreacting. "There are many guardrails," they said, "the guardrails will protect us from any of his worst instincts." Well, there are no more guardrails. The guardrails have failed and there are no more adults in the room.

70 years ago, people like this were raging about having to let black students into their whites-only schools. 125 years ago, they were raging about the Irish and the Italians being permitted to live here. 175 years ago, they were running riot in Kansas to make it a slave state.

“Why aren’t women showing up for Supergirl like they did for Barbie if it’s for women?”

Probably, at least in part, because men have made engaging with superhero media a miserable experience for women for YEARS at this point. We are tired of the culture war. A lot of the women who are seeing it aren’t talking about it because we get flooded with miserable comments if we do.

I think part of the reason Wonder Woman, Captain Marvel and the The Force Awakens did well was because women were not yet overexposed to the relentless misogyny in these spaces.

I’ve been a sci-fi fan and I’ve been reading comics longer than most of these fucking rejects have been alive and it’s hard to talk about.

Attention ABC and CBS: This is how you handle it when a fascist is pushing you around. You don’t cave in, fire people, cancel shows, and give him loads of cash to make him leave you alone. You fucking fight back.

[Terry Virts @AstroTerry]

You are 100% right Senator Tillis. So why did you vote to confirm Hegseth? And Bondi. And Gabbard. And RFK. And Noem.

And why did you vote to acquit on J6?

You own 100% of this Trump disaster, and if you had a change of heart then repent and publicly denounce Trump and MAGA.
