federal agents stealing children and sending them south. where have i heard about that before?

Barf

Fuck yeah

I don’t know who needs to hear this but the CDC is being eviscerated right now. America is not going to have any kind of outbreak response capacity after tonight. Americans’ health data is no longer secure. Say goodbye to federal public health in any capacity. It’s a disaster. We won’t recover.

I think too many people insulated from the direct harm in the moment don't want to believe it. Thank you. Please sounding the alarm. The billionaires are stealing our future.

This is what happens in a nation that never holds law enforcement accountable for violence against citizens and protesters. Our failure to hold officers accountable set the table for today. Who will arrest ICE?

Gonna be thinking about this lede for a minute.

A few yards away from Schiffman, Finn Cervino of Queens was defacing a poster with a Sharpie. He included a web address for a website predicting the future of AI and wrote “This is not science fiction. This is reality.” “We’re living in a world where you got friends that are computers — that’s the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard,” Cervino said. “They’re destroying the world for the dumbest invention I’ve ever seen in my life.”

Seems like Dem governors need to deploy the national guard to protect their people from ICE/DHS. This obvious violence set loose on blue states alone needs to be stopped now.

John Roberts’ Constitution: The federal government protecting people’s right to vote or giving them health care violates the sacred principle of state sovereignty but if the deranged POTUS and his bloodthirsty advisers want to use the military to invade other states for being too liberal that’s fine

All of us who are US citizens suffer from moral injury from the things done in our name, including the denial of basic needs this country can well afford to address, including healthcare to all immigrants. It would heal that moral injury to do this; it's an ethical act, not just a practical one.

Can Democratic governors call up the National Guard to protect the public from ICE?

“Terrible things are happening outside. Poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes. Families are torn apart. Men, women, and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared.”

Trump & the GOP are not just saying they don’t want undocumented immigrants to have health care — they’re saying they don’t want millions of Americans to have health care if it means any undocumented immigrant gets cared for in an ER.

Not “pro-life”. #TrumpShutdown

normal Portland Friday night things: sitting on your friend's porch listening to choppers and cessnas and then checking ADSB exchange to see which craft are running with their transponders off or without callsigns and which you can actually document.

Ostracize them all and next prosecute.

Follow up to "you can't afford this moustache ride", were we talking to Bob or the Wolf, because I think there's probably a price differential

This is due to a law signed by Ronald Reagan and has nothing to do with this shutdown fight.

But consider this...

Emergency Medicaid spending in 2023 cost $3.8 billion — just 0.4% of total Medicaid spending.

Now what about the $20 billion taxpayers are giving to Argentina?

ICE agents raid South Shore apartments; Trump says Chicago could become military training ground ICE agents raided a South Shore apartment building overnight as the city braces for a possible military deployment.

“ABC7 spoke to Pertissue Fisher, a woman who lives in the building. She said ICE agents took everyone in the building, including her, and asked questions later….’They was bringing the kids down, too, had them zip tied to each other.’”

It can’t happen here, you say. But it is happening.

Go make Kavanaugh eat shit

Whatever you say, Head

Good morning.

The government is shut down because Trump wants to act like a king and steal from you.

Democrats have no obligation to support a budget that funds the destruction of our democracy - and DOUBLES health premiums to fund a tax cut for billionaires.
