The Republican Party 4 months before midterms: "You're not getting affordable housing unless you give up your voting rights"

Great message.

To be clear: ICE shot and killed a man who was not their target. He had no criminal record, was seeking legal status, & was pushed off the road by unmarked cars.

There’s “no body cam footage”, his family can’t recover his body, and the witnesses in his van have been detained.

2:00 PM: 🇺🇸 U.S. judge ordered the DOJ to unredact Jeffrey Epstein files which name alleged co-conspirators.

5:00 PM: 🇺🇸 Trump REJECTED Court order to hand over redacted Epstein files.

8:00 PM: 🇺🇸 Trump began bombing Iran. The war restarted.

You connect the dots.

Lorenzo Salgado Araujo's son: I am calling for a full investigation into the events that transpired on July 7. He did not deserve to be reduced to a headline of Mexican man shot and killed by ICE. He deserved to live a quiet life as Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, a husband, a father, and a job creator for dozens of men who also wanted the American dream.

a lot of leftist men think that because they have good politics, they are inherently good people and don't have to self reflect on their behavior within their personal lives, especially with respect to how they treat women

[katelin @loud_socialist]

sorry it is insane to write headlines like this when your women's team is the most successful women's team in football history

Jennifer Welch: “Republicans always do the exact same thing: start wars, add to the national deficit, cut social safety programs, bankrupt the stock market and then corporations get a surge of socialism, the American taxpayer has to fund it, and then a Democrat has to come back in and fix the economy”

[Suzie rizzio @Suzierizzo1]

The Graham Platner fiasco proves that the Democrat Party is far too tolerant of sexual predators.

[Adam Cochran (adamscochran.eth) @adamscochran]

The logic that:

"Immigrants are too poor and abuse our welfare state"

AND

"Immigrants are the reason houses are so expensive"

Is crazy mental gymnastics.

Graham Platner’s history of sexual assault proves he does not belong in the US Senate. He belongs on the Supreme Court.

[Mel @Villgecrazylady]

In February 2025, Republican Cory Mills beat the shit out of his girlfriend… who he was cheating on his “wife” with… while he was simultaneously threatening another girlfriend with revenge porn… and he’s still a sitting member of the House, running for reelection.

But he 100% supports Israel so no one actually cares.

Jennifer Welch: “What bothers me most about Donald Trump is the cultural rot of how much worse he’s made the population. Trump is gonna die or he’s not gonna be in power, that’s gonna happen sooner rather than later, but that doesn’t fix anything. There’s still this cultural rot of a generation. He’s made the country less moral, less just, and dumber”

[Marco Foster @MarcoFoster_]

Don Lemon: “We need to expand the court to at least 13 justices. We need to get rid of the electoral college. If a Democrat wants to win in 2026 and 2028, that’s how they would talk. Not some policies about, ‘maybe we should get Liz Cheney.’ I’m glad she’s a reformed Republican, but that’s not what people want. They want someone who’s going to have some fucking balls, who’s gonna stand up, who’s gonna correct this shit”

This photo deserves a Pulitzer Prize.

Not only does it represent our current state of politics but it mirrors many photos of past which confirm the ugly truth about progress…

It must be fought for by every generation.

[matt bernstein @mattxiv]

in america they will cover up the fact that you’re literally dead to ensure people don’t have the opportunity to democratically replace you

[Acyn @Acyn]

Cooper: I've seen governments and dictators rise and fall, people and places torn apart by lies and hate and war. And I've seen people do things and heard them say things that I could never have imagined. I've seen what we humans are capable of when everything else is stripped away. Yes, great acts of barbarism and brutality. But we are also capable of remarkable acts of heroism and kindness. It's a choice, and the choice is up to us

Let's hope 50 years from now, someone standing here or somewhere on the eve of the 300th anniversary of this republic will look back and say of us: they didn’t know if they would make it through but they did.

[Acyn @Acyn]

Mamdani: The powerful have always known their answer. America, in their view, is an arena of supremacy, where only a select few are allowed freedom, where not all are created equal. America, if you ask them, becomes less the more people it welcomes. America, they will tell you, belongs only to those with the right accent or the right shade of skin. The rest of us, they insist, should be grateful for merely being allowed to visit.

How small they are, how weak, how unoriginal. 

At every moment in our past, those who led through exclusion and isolation have tried to win power and enrich themselves by turning us against one another. Division is the oldest trick in politics, and the cheapest. But time and again-including 250 years ago-those forces of division have been vanquished by the forces of progress.

And yet today, too many of our leaders do not believe in a vision of this nation as an asylum for the persecuted-but rather as one that persecutes those seeking asylum.

As we mark 250 years, what do we see? 

We see a city of contradictions within a nation of contradictions. We see the wealthiest country in the history of the world— one where children go to sleep hungry while the world's first trillionaire hungers for more. We see monopolies that dominate every industry and oligarchs who buy elections. We see masked agents terrorizing our streets, eating food cooked by our undocumented neighbors before spiriting them away in unmarked vans. We see a nation whose immense wealth has been built by those with calloused, dirt-streaked hands —those who toil on factory floors and chisel into stone —and we see a nation that has allowed so much of that wealth to be held instead in the soft hands of a precious few.
