I just left the Everglades Immigrant Interment Camp. No, I’m not using their ridiculous name. It was a very tough to witness humans in those cages. Every Floridian should be ashamed that our taxpayer money is being used for this.

Opinion | Don’t call it β€˜Alligator Alcatraz.’ Call it a concentration camp. This facility’s purpose fits the classic model, and its existence points to serious dangers ahead for the country.

Senate Republicans just passed Trump’s bullshit of a billβ€”and it’s even uglier than before.

β€” At least 16 million could lose healthcare
— Trillions will be added to the deficit
— Hospitals will close
— Children will go hungry

Now it comes back to the House.

Absolutely disgusting. People should be pointing attention to this and condemning it at every chance. DO NOT BE SILENT ABOUT THIS!

We’ll never know what could have been, but we do know they chose to believe him and not her, and now they are making up excuses for their votes that put us all in harm’s way.

Don’t think this is a one-off.

And Vance intentionally calling Senator Padilla "Jose" when he knows his name is Alex is pure political theater for his racist base.

If they're happy about the racism, they may not notice their constitutional and civil rights being violated. πŸ™„

Everything about Vance is fake.

I’ve been seeing people on the right post things like this and I’m very glad they are waking up to the things the Republicans are trying to pass. But there was a project for 2025 that explicitly said they were going to do this. Also it’s sad that nothing prior to this was a deal breaker.

RFK Jr. is going to kill thousands of people. That’s not hyperbole.

Saying there are β€œtoo many non-working holidays” on Juneteenth is so on brand for a man who is actively trying to erase Black history.

This from the same man who’s wasted over $26 million in taxpayer dollars and spent more than 30 days golfing since January 20, 2025? Please.

So state’s rights were never a real issue. I hope Gavin Newsom continues fighting this. This is just going to fuel the administration to mobilize the national guard into every blue city under the guise of protecting federal buildings and masked up ICE β€œagents.”

Five public health facts RFK Jr doesn't want you to know:

1. Vaccines work and are safe.
2. Solid fats aren't health foods.
3. Random dead animals you find lying around are not safe to touch (or eat).
4. Methylene blue is a dye, not a miracle cure.
5. Measles is bad for you.

Not only is the leaking of war plans and specific targets very alarming and should be condemned, but the blatant disrespect and intentional harming of Europe is the scariest part. Harming our allies is possibly the worst/scariest part of this.

🚨 Everyone needs to call their Dem Senator right now. They are starting to cave.

Tell them:
1. Vote NO on Cloture
AND
2. Vote NO on the Republican spending bill.

Don’t let them pivot to reconciliation. GOP doesn’t need Dem votes on that and they know it.

TODAY is the showdown.

A graphic of a committee exchange that reads: 

Rep. Pressley: Do firing workers and then trying to un-fire them sound like government efficiency to you? 

Mr. Dodaro: It’s not a best practice.

Rep. Pressley: It sure doesn’t to me. What kind of efficiency makes people hungrier? What kind of efficiency makes people poorer? What kind of efficiency makes people less safe?

DOGE is a shame and a sham.

Not a political post, but just make sure yall are finding a positive space or outlet in the world. Find a way to destress and relax a little. Go workout, hang out with friends, do something to bring you happiness and peace.

Women don’t wait for change, we make it. We’ve broken barriers, made history, and fought for justice every step of the way. Today, we honor the women who came before us and keep pushing for those who will come after. The fight isn’t over. Let’s get to work.

May we all soon see the day when Hispanic women are again honored and respected in the People’s House.
