As others have aptly pointed out, police forces have been murdering people for a long time, especially POC. This terrorism from ICE is only a continuation and newest version of what we have been seeing for a long time.

Trump told you he’d run America like a business.

He is.

It’s called asset stripping. You sell the profitable pieces, gut the workforce, load it with debt, and walk away rich while everyone else holds the bag.

Congratulations. You didn’t elect a president. You hired a liquidator.

"We live in a society where we've basically become totally callous to the idea that someone can gun down eight kids...and that's just the way of life. We deal with it and we move on, because we have become accustomed to it."

@samsteindc.bsky.social on America's numbness to mass shootings.

HAHAHA! That response killed me. And it's so damn true.

We now have a Karoline Leavitt LEGO video, "Baghdad Barbie." 😂🤣👇

They paused Oversight Committee hearings the minute we started getting answers about the Epstein files.

Now it’s “roundtables”: no rules, no oaths, no subpoenas.

You do the math. Because the moment accountability shows up, they shut it down. The survivors deserve better.

Gov. Pritzker bans state workers from using insider information on prediction market apps like Kalshi Users on apps like Kalshi and Polymarket are betting on everything from the results of elections to economic decisions and war outcomes. The governor said he’s concerned about the lack of oversight.

The Trump administration continues to be riddled with stories of appointees seeking to profit from prediction markets.

Illinois is stepping up to ensure those here who are serving the public do just that, not their own personal financial gain.

Men, We Need to Talk About "Rape Academy" This isn’t about women. This is about us. And it’s long past time we had this conversation

Social media analytics show that I lose followers every time I share my article about men needing to stop being pathetic little manbabies and instead step up and hold other men accountable to stop rape culture.

Oh, whoops, sharing it again. And won't stop either

Oligarchy is real. The system is rigged.

Volvo electric semi scores another real-world win with Coca-Cola Pepsi may grab headlines with their Tesla tie-in, but arch rival Coca-Cola is quietly building an electric semi truck fleet of its own.

So China & Tesla don’t steal all the headlines, Volvo Trucks (Volvo Group) quietly put 5,000+ electric trucks into real-world deployment, logging 100+ million zero-emission miles over the past five years.

Not under Geely. Not hype. This is happening. EV trucks are scaling everywhere, all at once.

According to AHA, Black and brown people are 41% less likely to receive CPR in public. For @wamc.org I followed a local nurses coalition hoping to change those numbers in Albany.

The right wing crash outs over VA are wild, an entire party that has internalized “our wins are always legit and theirs are not, ever”

Not a President……a terrorist!

When you say "The Iranians take Tr*mp for a sucker", it is something Tr*mp gets upset and angry with. You will get sued. But when you say "Tr*mp is a pedophile", he just says nothing and keeps quiet.

No Tucker, that’s not how this works. You did damage for years. You helped create this disaster. You sat on national television and blatantly lied over and over again. You knew what you were doing all along.

Take your fake apology and kick rocks off the edge of a cliff.

Your government refusing to prosecute sexual predators, but protect them instead, only makes sense when you realize your government is being run by sexual predators.
