Inside the workshop where presidential flags are lovingly made, mostly by immigrants Philadelphia – city of brotherly love, birthplace of American democracy. And the only place in the world where presidential flags are made.

Out of curiosity, have you followed up with any of these immigrants making American flags to see how they've been impacted by Trump's immigration policies?

BREAKING: Mayor Baraka was just released.

Carl Sagan's insights were far ahead of his time.

Another day of reminding everyone of Carl Sagan’s eerily accurate warning about the dangers of not being able to ask skeptical scientific questions to those in power or authority.

While we're at it - it would be nice if they needed to show proper ID and state exactly why they are there and where they're taking folks.

RFK Jr. says autism database will use Medicare and Medicaid info The National Institutes of Health will partner with the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid to create a database of Americans with autism, using insurance claims, medical records and smartwatch data.

The National Institutes of Health will partner with the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid to create a database of Americans with autism, using insurance claims, medical records and smartwatch data.

At best, this will result in a bunch of bs recommendations that harm people. At worst - this screams eugenics to me.

RFK sucks. Trump sucks even more for putting him in charge of people's lives.

This was heartbreaking to watch. It was bad enough seeing the mother taken, but local police arresting a grieving 16 year old for interfering is a fucking travesty.

I cannot stop thinking about this woman & the community that tried to keep her family together. We are not powerless. Call your reps, raise your voice, get her reunited with her loved ones. Families belong together. And yes: under this lawless regime, if they can do it to her, they can do it to you.

The Trump Administration’s War on Children The administration is quietly putting America’s children at risk by cutting funds and manpower for investigating child abuse, enforcing child support payments, providing child care and much more.

"Holocaust remembrance and education should never be politicized," Doug Emhoff said in reaction to the Trump administration firing him and senior Biden White House officials from the board that oversees the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum. nyti.ms/3GxToqH

American Panopticon The Trump administration is pooling data on Americans. Experts fear what comes next.

Trump and DOGE are not just undoing decades of privacy measures: They appear to be ignoring that they were ever written.

@ibogost.bsky.social and @cwarzel.bsky.social on the rise of an American panopticon:

Congressional Republicans are planning to cut health care to pay for tax breaks to billionaires. These Medicaid cuts will kill tens of thousands of Americans PER YEAR. #HandsOffOurMedicaid
Pass it on.

Eliminating Head Start would be devastating for 800,000 kids and their families who rely on it for early education, health services, and family support. We can't sacrifice their future to fund tax breaks for the rich.

Up next: so-called Antifa protesting Trump & Elon.

A banner with a picture of Al Green shouting before being kicked out of Trump's speech reads: I vote for those who know when to shout. Protect our rights or we elect someone else.

The Democrat leaders should be making more noise instead of keeping their heads down. This is not a time to stand idly by and wait for our rights to be stripped away.

Service members and recruits who are diagnosed with or treated for gender dysphoria are to be separated from the U.S. military in accordance with an executive order issued a month ago by President Trump.

We all have a responsibility to make sure that legislation that allows and encourages voter suppression are openly called out!

OPEN LETTER TO @politifact.bsky.social:
PolitiFact's reporting on the SAVE Act downplays the voter suppression effects. By being overly focused on technical wording they overlook real-world impact.

takedemocracyback.org urges PolitiFact to update their rating to account for disproportionate harm.
