Another lesson of the Epstein Files is that we should be taxing the rich instead of relying on their philanthropic dollars

2026 public health nightmares:
Measles outbreaks
Deaths from pertussis
TB outbreak in SF
Child dies after drinking raw milk
Defunding Covid vaccines

The anti science movement is killing children and calling it “freedom”

the arrest of journalists in minneapolis, including don lemon, is more evidence that the only move the administration knows how to make is to use force, and does not know how to respond when that force is met with defiance and indifference.

My friend lives in MN. ICE have not left. Do not stand for anything less than defunding and abolishing ICE.

I enjoy being vaccinated. More people should try it. It’s pretty cool actually.

The earlier incident started when he stopped his car after observing ICE agents chasing what he described as a family on foot, and began shouting and blowing his whistle, according to a source who asked not to be named out of fear of retribution.

Pretti later told the source that five agents tackled him and one leaned on his back – an encounter that left him with a broken rib. The agents quickly released him at the scene.

“That day, he thought he was going to die,” said the source.

My gosh. Alex Pretti was notifying neighbors that Trump and Vance's agents were chasing a family. A mob of agents then tackled him and broke his rib.

He thought he was going to die.

Then the very next week, he came back out to support his neighbors.

And a mob of agents killed him.

Trixie Mattel is making political posts. That shows you ppl have moved on from being worried about their brand deals. They are more worried about their communities.

I just checked Facebook and my non political, right leaning Midwestern relatives are condemning ICE. This administration has activated the soccer mom and hockey dad sleeper cells.

When you have lost the Washington Post, essentially the mouthpiece of one of the richest men in the world, you have lost the narrative. It was an execution.

Alex Pretti was an American hero. He saved lives. He protected people. He cared deeply about his community, unlike the murderous thugs who killed him.

The very last thing he did was try to help a woman who had been pepper-sprayed and violently shoved to the ground by ICE. 1/

Remember the other day when I was saluting my friend Greg Ketter, owner of Minneapolis’ DreamHaven Books? This is him the following day. Greg will never say this, so I will — now is a great time to buy books from DreamHaven. Support Americans who stand up vs. 🧊. dreamhavenbooks.com

Reporter: You received a letter from AG Pam Bondi making several demands….

Walz: I would just give a pro tip to the AG. There's 2 million documents in the Epstein files we're still waiting on. Go ahead and work on those

Abolishing ICE is now the moderate position. It’s the bare minimum.

Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him.

White. Hot. Rage.

So many of the Trump cronies will flee out of the country to escape prosecution when this is all over but seeing as how so many are racists, seems like they won’t have many places to go

A five-year-old boy seized on his way home in Minnesota and now locked up in Texas. His family didn't know where he was for 24 hours.

Fentanyl's Prevalence in Drug Seizures Not Linked to Drop in OD Deaths, Research Suggests - Filter As theories continue to emerge for the dramatic turnaround in overdose deaths, a new study indicates that it’s largely unrelated ...

For several years the rising number of overdose deaths was accompanied by a "parallel" increase in proportion of fentanyl in law enforcement seizures. The same does not appear to be true when deaths are trending downward.

Virginia Lawmakers Ask Voters to Repeal Jim Crow-Era Lifetime Ban on Voting Voters will decide this year whether to end Virginia’s uniquely harsh felony disenfranchisement rules. They

Democratic lawmakers in Virginia voted on Friday to place a measure on the ballot this year that would automatically restore voting rights to people with felony convictions when they exit prison.

“It’s time for us to have an automatic process,” says one lawmaker.

I’m not carrying citizenship documents to please ICE. If ICE wants to detain me, so be it. I’m a convicted felon. I’ve been in custody before. This doesn’t scare me. ICE can waste time processing me while someone else gets away. I’m not complying in advance.

Seeing Zohran instantly getting a bunch of shit done in like a week makes you realize that politicians could always do that on some level if they wanted it bad enough and very few of them actually do.

Exclusive: US gets first $500 million Venezuelan oil deal, holding some proceeds in Qatar The details shared with Semafor mark an initial milestone in the administration’s plan following the ouster of Nicolás Maduro.

The main bank account holding revenue from the Venezuelan oil sales is located in Qatar.

“There is no basis in law for a president to set up an offshore account that he controls so that he can sell assets seized by the American military,” Sen. Elizabeth Warren.
