They’re planning on building a detention center for migrants in the middle of the fetid swamps of Florida.

If you think this is something new, the first internment camp they sent me and my family to in 1942 was a barbed wire prison called Rohwer. It was located in the swamps of Arkansas.

“Why won’t Zohran Mamdani denounce a dangerous slogan?” asks a headline in the Atlantic.

Meanwhile, Andrew Cuomo isn’t asked to denounce a dangerous war criminal whose legal team he joined.

Phang: If you were scrolling on social media and saw a dog locked up in the middle of the Everglades—in the sun, in the heat, in the humidity—the outrage would be wild, wouldn’t it?

But then—we’re okay with human beings being treated like that?

He's here to make an ass out of himself, then play the victim because he wasn't cheered for it the way he is over on Nazi Twitter.

He's collecting screenshots of mean things people say about him so he can go get pity from the MAGAts.

Nobody tell Elon that “the guy I got elected president is a child rapist and I’ve known it all along” is not the sick own he thinks it is.

The King of Norway shaking hands with the new ambassador for Palestine because Norway has recognised them as an independent Country.

When will the UK, France and Germany do this?

Nihilism as a coping mechanism is working quite well.

Although I agree with this, it's incomplete.

Doctors work for corporations that have billing offices that work w/ the insurance companies.

They know the ins & outs of the system. Doctors need to educate themselves on just what their billing offices are doing.

Not one reporter asked about the Executive Orders targeting Chris Krebs & Miles Taylor during today’s Cabinet press conference. Not one. A president using DOJ to punish those who spoke out? That’s banana republic territory. I waited. The question never came.
Why? Has the fear already taken hold?

Privatizing Social Security means people will die.

Privatizing the Post Office means people will lose the right to vote by mail. Rural America will be unreachable because no private carrier will go there.

Privatizing the VA means vets do not get the specialized care they need & have earned.
