I don't understand how anyone with a soul can see these images and not immediately understand how fucking evil this war is. Every country in the world should be putting maximum pressure on Israel to allow in aid and to broker a ceasefire that permanently ends the war.
The most profoundly stupid rebuttal you can possibly make is to just assert the person you disagree with is inherently dumb.
This line is so tired. Be more original.

A sitting Member of Congress calling for an American citizen to be stripped of his citizenship & deported, all because of that American citizen’s political views. This is fascism.👇
Zohran "little muhammad" Mamdani is an antisemitic, socialist, communist who will destroy the great City of New York. He needs to be DEPORTED. Which is why I am calling for him to be subject to denaturalization proceedings.
Attached is my letter to @AGPamBondi.
It’s not claustrophobia to notice that elevators are vertical death boxes that seal you into a fixed air supply with no mechanism for autonomous escape and should be avoided at all costs…
…you vile idiot.

Is this what you wanted, @StephenM?
A mother who was 5 months pregnant - who'd just found out she and her American citizen fiancee were having a boy - lost her baby after federal agents in a detention center repeatedly denied her pleas for prenatal care.
Lived and worked in Tennessee for years. Detained by ICE for over a month. Forced to sleep on a prison cell floor. Served food with cockroaches. Said she was starving and having stomach pains. Guards told her it was normal. Begged to be deported so at least she could get prenatal care in Guatemala. ICE refused.
She delivered her stillborn baby in front of two guards who shackled her feet. Then, for two days, she wasn't allowed to call her fiancee or talk to anyone. She cried alone, and was deported to Guatemala shortly after the stillbirth.
DHS has only said they'd review the case. "Worst of the worst", right @TriciaOhio?

CNN: Top Democrats on the intelligence committees were kept in the dark. Their Republican counterparts were briefed, even though they all are members of the gang of eight, who are usually almost always notified before major U.S. Military engagements.

The President’s disastrous decision to bomb Iran without authorization is a grave violation of the Constitution and Congressional War Powers.
He has impulsively risked launching a war that may ensnare us for generations.
It is absolutely and clearly grounds for impeachment.
Dude fomented an insurrection, shared state secrets, sexually abused women and is the figurehead of a racially-based extrajudicial mass incarceration scheme, but it’s disinviting his grandson from a picnic that’ll really get @RandPaul going…

You have one job.
To. Read. The. Fucking. Bill.
Full transparency, I did not know about this section on pages 278-279 of the OBBB that strips states of the right to make laws or regulate AI for 10 years.
I am adamantly OPPOSED to this and it is a violation of state rights and I would have voted NO if I had known this was in there.
We have no idea what AI will be capable of in the next 10 years and giving it free rein and tying states hands is potentially dangerous.
This needs to be stripped out in the Senate.
When the OBBB comes back to the House for approval after Senate changes, I will not vote for it with this in it.
We should be reducing federal power and preserving state power.
Not the other way around.
Especially with rapidly developing AI that even the experts warn they have no idea what it may be capable of.
I can’t stop thinking about this. That she would use this as an opportunity to send up her faux-Christian bat signal is beyond parody.

If Trump is serious about tariffs on movies, it's a very dangerous escalation. Tariffs have not traditionally been applied to services, and the United States is a massive net exporter of services. We would be extremely vulnerable to any service-based retaliation.

WELKER: Your secretary of state says everyone who's here, citizens and non-citizens, deserve due process. Do you agree?
TRUMP: I don't know. I'm not a lawyer. I don't know.
WELKER: Don't you need to uphold the Constitution?
TRUMP: I don't know

I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar. Tonight I had that chance. I have called his wife, Jennifer, to pass along his message of love. I look forward to providing a full update upon my return.
