Newborn dies after mother drinks raw milk during pregnancy Raw milk is promoted by anti-vaccine Health Secretary Kennedy.

Our President is sowing doubt about our β€œwoke” food safety. This doubt likely led to the death of this newborn. I blame him and his people, I’m talking about you RFK jr.. How many more need to die from preventable deaths because of your anti-woke crap? WTF?

Race to the Ballot Box | The Evolution of Midnight Voting in Dixville Notch, New Hampshire - New England When the citizens of three tiny New Hampshire communities gather at midnight to cast their votes, more than politics is at stake.

New Hampshire held the first primary for decades, my purple state seem to be a good place to start, but we’re not a diverse state.
The whole β€œFirst in the Nation” midnight voting was really just a promotion of the Balsams in Dixville Notch.

Walz demands DHS stop detaining Minnesota children In a letter to Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, Walz demanded details about how many Minnesota kids are in detention facilities.

They’re taking children from Minnesota and locking them up like criminals in detention camps in Texas.

For the love of God, send our kids home and bring an end to this nightmare.

Immigrant Safety Act: Bill to ban immigrant detention in New Mexico heads to governor's desk "If the bill becomes law β€” it'll make it a crime for these counties, any county, any local government to contract with ICE to house ICE detainees," KOAT legal expert John Day said.

Really proud of New Mexico!

It is coming up. Not sure if there's enough votes or people to push it through yet, but it keeps coming up. Hopefully we will get there.

Imagine seeing photos and videos of ugly old men raping underage girls and thinking, "I need to protect those horrible men at all costs."?

Pam Bondi is a soulless villain.

Garcia: I want to remind the American public of Stephen Miller. There's probably no single person in this government that has done more damage and more harm to people across this country than this man right here. It's our job to hold him responsible

Here is a link to the Court orders by federal Judge Fred Biery releasing 5 yr old Liam and his father from detention in Texas.

A Historic document, and easy to read plain language.

Minnesota needs to know the number of children in federal detention, who they are, and where they’re being held.

β€œJesus loves the little children, all the children of the world, red and yellow, black and white they are precious in his sight”

I attended a baptist church 60 years ago, every Sunday during Sunday school we sang this song. I’m reminded of this song when bad things happen to little children, Liam

Black History Month is a time to recognize the lived, shared experience of all Black folks who have fundamentally shaped, challenged, and ultimately strengthened America. It’s about taking an unvarnished look at the past so that we can create a better future.

This one weird trick could stop US women from voting | Arwa Mahdawi The Save Act – which would do the opposite of its title – could have a huge impact on the midterm elections

Look at how his appearance has changed! Has his siding with the devil turn his youthful looks into the look of a tortured soul covering up dumpy’s attack on all of US?
This is another epic overreach by republicans, and they keep doubling down on a losing hand!

a man with a wig on his head is waving his hand Alt: Vir Cotto waggling his fingers, indicating the way he will wave at Mr. Morden's severed head when it's placed on a spike as a warning to future generations that some favors come at too high a price.

Most days I identify more with Ivanova (perpetually overworked, underappreciated, stressed, and cranky) but I really would like to be Vir in this particular scene.

If you haven’t seen, or rewatched Babylon 5, it is very seriously, the most relevant televised sci-fi show in history right now. In particular, season 4.

Home Depot lays off 800 workers, says corporate employees will return to office 5 days a week Home Depot is dealing with slower sales as fewer Americans buy houses.

This article does not mention the real reason for Home Depot’s decrease in sales, the right-wing politics of the company might be the main reason.

Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara: "People have had enough. This is the third shooting in less than 3 weeks. The MPD went the entire year last year recovering about 900 guns from the street, arresting hundreds of violent offenders, and we didn't shoot anyone ... this is not sustainable."

Education is dangerous, Trump want to control education.
Trump is following the Nazi playbook, which itself was based on our Jim Crow era. Today a lot of people seem willing to go along with this and cheer on the abuse.
Murder in Minnesota! Concentration camps in USA!
Ethnic cleansing has arrived.

Before I was educated I became fascinated with drawing a swastika. My father saw that and took the time to explain the evil it represented.
After being more fully educated my one question remained, β€œhow come the German people did not stop Hitler?”
When will we say, β€œenough”??
