The reason sanctuary cities exist is because law enforcement in those cities needs community buy-in to help solve other more important crimes. A witness to a murder or a victim of domestic violence might not come forward if they are undocumented and might get deported for talking to the police.

No way to really track it because by definition they’re going unreported but I can only imagine what kind of horror show is going unreported due to these raids.

Progressives have even less power. You want them to all resign and retire?

The Democrats in question would likely say they’re upset progressives are getting mad at Democrats as if they have the power to pass bills or do much of anything. Yelling “do something” isn’t helping when your party doesn’t have any power.

Ironically the most power Democrats have is thanks to the filibuster, which Progressives campaigned against for years.

Tariffs too. It’s just a bit of “short term pain”…meaning, for about 4 years until someone comes in and reverses the horrible policies.

I spent his first 4 years hyper tuned in and stressing, and I called 0 Senators, wrote 0 letters, made 0 impact. THAT is the wrong call.

Either stop paying attention or take the time to actually contribute to the political process. Call your local political party and ask what you can do.

My understanding is that anal and oral are “wrong” in the same way masturbation is, it’s spilling your seed outside of sex for procreation.

But like, clearly a tier better than premarital sex so…

So they’ll be coming in every day to their offices in Washington right?

…right?

We don’t know.

The US came back from a US president hiring private goons to spy on his political opponents.

The US came back from a US president illegally selling weapons to Iran to fund right wing militias in South America.

The US came back from a US cabinet member taking literal bribes from oil companies to give them oil drilling rights on federal land.

The US came back from a US president illegally firing a cabinet member and installing his own lackey.

But it didn’t HAVE to.

I don’t think there’s really such a thing as a ‘point of no return’ for a Democracy. But it is possible to get to a point after which you don’t return.

None of the news you read on this app matters. This is at least an interesting tidbit.

It’s a plurality and not a majority, pretty far from a mandate. It’s a legal win.

They did have a primary.

And Hillary won her primary popular vote against Bernie and you’re still pissed about it so seems like the method isn’t the problem for you, it’s that they (“they” being Democrats according to the party rules) don’t pick whoever you like.

1.7% in 2024.
1.9% in 2020.
5.7% in 2016.
1.7% in 2012.
1.4% in 2008.

2024 is not the outlier. It’s mostly about how well the other major party candidate does.

Everything’s a goddamn coup with these people.

Scheduling legislative leadership elections at an allowed time is a coup against a guy who is currently not in office?

K.

Sorry who is saying this? The judge making the ruling?

“Voters who voted for the winner got what they wanted” uh-huh…

Weird you didn’t post this before the election results came in, since it was so obvious.

I have deep sources telling me he got more votes.

Literally every former president says “promises made, promises kept.”

This is one of the more normal things he has said recently. Several quotes talking about literal demons coming after him. He might need whatever therapy program Glenn Beck joined.

Not another one knight stand!
