Congratulations, Virginia! Republicans are trying to tilt the midterm elections in their favor, but they haven’t done it yet. Thanks for showing us what it looks like to stand up for our democracy and fight back.
Republicans are disgusting for not standing against this. Just one of so many ways they're disgusting.
All of us need to be civil rights activists.
Holy shit. I have no idea how to explain to people not in the south how big a deal it is that this is happening in FUCKING VIRGINIA!!
🇭🇺🇺🇦 Péter Magyar: Ukraine is the victim of this war. Everyone knows that.
No one should tell Ukraine under what conditions it must enter peace or sign a peace treaty.
We cannot ask any country to give up its territory. If they do, they would be considered traitors.
Putin is having quite a run....
- Loses Syria
- Cuba, Venezuela may be slipping from his grasp
- Iran and its regional proxies have taken a pounding
- Orban falls, bigly
- Ukraine grows more powerful, Zelenskky more respected
- Trump like Orban is being repudiated at home
Will take the wins...
Hungary election: Trump ally Viktor Orbán concedes defeat after 16 years as prime minister🥳🥳🥳🥳‼️‼️
Why do they keep inviting him? Maybe someone who knows something might be better.
Some of the Framers understood.
George Mason, namesake of my university, gave the warning below as Virginia debated ratifying the new US Constitution on June 18, 1788.
Perversion of our Constitution will harm all Conservative and Liberal Americans.

A Fidesz mayor has switched sides on election day: Szőke-Tóth, mayor of Bócs (elected 2024 with 71% as Fidesz candidate), voted for opposition party Tisza instead.
“I cast my vote against Russian influence and for European values,” he said, citing weak government performance and war scaremongering.
“The Secretary of Defense is not connected to reality.”
I’m annoyed that it’s obvious we’re in phase 1 of this 3-step cycle
1. Republican president tanks economy and gets us involved in a forever war.
2. Democratic president fixes the economy.
3. People get impatient about things not being as good as they used to be so they vote Republican.
I've studied so many concentration camps through history that held vulnerable people in just this kind of crowded squalor. You demonize people, you demand more arrests, this is what you get. It already has its own budget and its own momentum, and is on track to go much further, unless we stop it.
“'I’ve never experienced anything like this in my entire life,' the congresswoman said, fighting back tears.
"She described the way people were laying down inside as “like sardines.”
“'It is frightening in there,' she said. 'It is disgusting'..."

President Trump is ready to use the "full economic might of the United States" to strengthen Hungary's economy, while actively gutting Americans’ access to health care, education, child care, and so much more.
1. Idaho banned the pride flag on government property. So Boise made the pride flag their official city flag, which allowed them to fly it.
Then Idaho banned new city flags.
So in response, Boise has now wrapped the poles themselves in rainbows!

"Ansari said that each of the rooms holding immigrant detainees lists its maximum capacity; the majority had a capacity of 21, while two others were 24. Ansari, Stanton and Grijalva all said they counted more than 40 people in each of the 6 rooms."

Genesis, a fifth-grader at Burton Elementary School, is a “hard worker who never misses school,” according to her teacher Daniel Burton.

Thank you for keeping these children's lives in people's consciousness.
Screenshot of sophiafornc from Threads: This is eleven year-old Genesis and six year-old Denis, two Durham elementary school students whose families came here to seek asylum. On Monday, they were detained by ICE and immediately sent back to Honduras without due process. Don't you dare tell me that this is making our country safer.
I am so angry. Two Durham, NC kids - 11-year-old Genesis and 6-year-old Denis of Burton Elementary Magnet School - were taken by ICE at their regular asylum case appointment, and immediately deported without due process.

So after tonight’s big breakthrough we are $30-60 billion poorer from a month of war, all the same nuclear material is in Iran’s hands, and now you have to coordinate with their military to transit the Strait (not necessary a month ago). An enormous blunder, in no way a “deal.”
It all makes sense when we realize he's working for Putin, not us.
This is the Tim Kaine I voted for.
Thune should immediately call the Senate back into session. Trump’s unhinged threats to commit massive war crimes against Iranian civilian targets show an increasing mental and moral instability we can’t ignore.
That's a very odd alternative history thought experiment, considering that this [part of another] country would have had 250 years to do the same kind of bad stuff, or even worse stuff as a colony.
I am so proud of anyone brave enough to do what your father did. Soldiers sign up to be brave. It seems more difficult to be brave enough in the face of illegal orders to disobey them than to be brave enough to face bullets and bombs. Thank you for this post to remind people that it's possible.
I'm the daughter of an Army paratrooper who refused orders during our illegal invasion of Vietnam back in the day. He went to LBJ military jail.
Dad taught his girls this: "Just following orders" is NEVER any excuse for anyone who's complicit in war crimes. You MUST refuse heinous orders.
