Here's the most famous reference of the quote of John F. Kennedy's to which Abdul El-Sayed is referring (12:49 time mark) "For contrary to common newspaper usage, I am not the catholic candidate for president. I am the Democratic party's candidate for president, who happens also, to be a catholic."

This is Tommy. Tommy had a question about my allegiances. Listen to the end to hear about his.

If the US military packed up all of its bases in the Middle East, stopped providing ammunition, intelligence, and money to Israel and Saudi Arabia, and sent those same troops to defend Ukraine, all three wars would likely end before the year was out.

That's where you're wrong. The term and word does not belong to them. It never did and never will. I purposely label my content as "woke", my friend. I want them to see it. Those who are triggered by it are the ones who need to learn it the most. Made these for them too: #KeepItWoke

Many of you have been asking what you can do to fight the Trump Administration’s depraved war on immigrant kids — like the ones separated from their families and held in federal detention that I’ve been highlighting in my recent videos from 201 Varick Street.

"ICE tactics, already sadistic, are looking increasingly like torture," writes @judith-levine.bsky.social. "The slim avenues to legal recourse and the refusal of transparency or accountability by the perpetrators of de jure and de facto torture are driving detainees to desperate measures..."

Beyond its famous preamble, the Declaration of Independence listed out a set of grievances against King George III of England. Some of them sound quite familiar…

Atta boy Talarico. Use humor not anger—bring the joy not anger. YOU ARE GOOD FOR TEXAS AND ALL OF US—YOU WILL WIN!

Talarico: Every bar has that guy. He’s loud, he’s obnoxious, he makes all the women in the bar feel uncomfortable. He hears you say your name to the bartender and then adds his drink to your tab when you’re not looking. That’s Paxton. And I don’t know about y’all, but I’m done picking up his tab.

One year ago today, Minnesota Speaker Emerita Melissa Hortman and her husband Mark were senselessly murdered in an act of political violence. In their memory, we recommit ourselves to the values that Melissa and Mark exemplified: building a kinder, more just, and loving world.

NEW: ICE has opened a public comment window on its environmental review of the Williamsport warehouse detention plan. The notice describes a facility for up to 1,500 people — nearly 3x the figure ICE gave the court all spring — plus a 750,000-gallon water tank. Comments close July 1.

Trump isn’t going after the “worst of the worst” — he’s going after all immigrants. And we must be clear eyed about this — he’s using immigrants as a testing ground for stripping Constitutional protections for ALL of us.

Four years ago today, the Buffalo community was forever changed when a gunman murdered 10 Black Americans at a local grocery store. We honor their memories by continuing the fight against gun violence, hate, and extremism in all its forms.

Forgive me for sounding like a broken record, but we are not a Christian nation. We are a nation where you are free to be a Christian. Your religion guides you, not all of us. It’s as simple as that.
